Re: z/os 1.8 upgrade mostly good

We fired up our 1st set of 1.8 LPARs this last weekend. All in all it
was pretty good. IDCAMs steps with no region are getting RC=12. Put a
region on them and everything works great. Same job runs okay under
1.7.

Subject: z/os 1.8 upgrade mostly good


All,

Just wanted to give the list some feedback on our latest round of 1.8
upgrades. We upgraded 3 production lpars over the weekend, and so far
all is looking pretty good(a little early to tell), with one exception
so far. We have an open ETR with IBM. What we are seeing is some batch
jobs failing with S80A-10, S878 type abends. Run them on a 1.6 system,
and the are ok. Compared virtual storage map between versions, and
available private below the line is the same. There are a couple of
common denominators in that they all are DB2 type utilities(BMC COPY
PLUS, IBM DB2 utils, Princeton), and they all use many tapes. We've
sent a dump off to IBM for analysis.

Anyone see this? As we find out more, I'll keep the list up-to-date.

Dave
