vThe CMDGRPS DD statement

Specify the affinity (command) types you want to see in the report. Only those affinity types listed on this DD statement are shown in the report. (The types correspond exactly to the type options on the CAFF02 screen.) You can specify any of the following affinity types, with each type on a separate line, starting in column one:

CANCEL

ENABLE

LOAD

COLLECT

ENQ

PERFORM

CREATE

EXTRACT

RESYNC

CWA

GETMAIN

RETRIEVE

DISCARD

INQUIRE

TS

If you do not specify any affinity types on the CMDGRPS DD statement, or specify CMDGRPS DD DUMMY, all affinity types are selected for reporting.

The ®rst part of the report lists the affinity types selected.

v The TRANGRPS DD statement

Specify the name of the sequential data set where the basic affinity transaction groups are to be sent.

v The SYSPRINT DD statement

Specify the destination for the report.

Note: The Reporter cannot read records from the CAUAFF1, CAUAFF2, and CAUAFF3 VSAM ®les while the Detector has those ®les opened for update. Therefore, do not run the Reporter at the same time as the Detector.

Output from the Reporter

 

For each affinity type speci®ed on the CMDGRPS DD statement, the Reporter

 

outputs each individual affinity both in report format and as de®nitions for basic

 

affinity transaction groups suitable for input to the Builder.

 

Notes:

 

1. The Reporter outputs basic affinity transaction group de®nitions for

 

inter-transaction affinity transaction groups only.

2. Transactions not initiated from a terminal do not appear in a basic affinity

transaction group. If none of the transactions in an inter-transaction affinity

group were initiated from a terminal, a special reporting affinity relation of

Background is used; no basic affinity transaction group is created, and you

should ignore the affinity lifetime.

OS specifications

IBM OS, or IBM Operating System, refers to a family of operating systems developed by IBM to support its hardware architectures. IBM has produced a range of OS versions tailored for different computing needs, such as mainframes, servers, and personal computers. Among the most notable operating systems in IBM's portfolio are OS/2, z/OS, and AIX, representing a blend of innovation and reliability that has defined IBM's reputation in the computing world.

One of the defining features of IBM OS is its robust multitasking capabilities. Both z/OS, predominantly used in IBM's mainframe environments, and AIX, the Unix-based system for IBM Power Systems, support multiple users and processes simultaneously. This ability allows organizations to run numerous applications in parallel efficiently, maximizing resource utilization and improving productivity.

In terms of security, IBM OS incorporates advanced features aimed at protecting data and maintaining integrity. z/OS offers multifactor authentication, data encryption, and a security model that adheres to the latest regulatory requirements. AIX provides Secure Virtualization, which enhances isolation and security in cloud environments, essential for enterprises handling sensitive information.

Another key characteristic is the adaptability of IBM OS to modern technologies. For instance, z/OS is designed to integrate with cloud computing, open source, and DevOps practices. This adaptability supports organizations in modernizing their infrastructure while retaining the stability associated with IBM solutions. AIX similarly supports containerization and virtualization, which are critical for optimizing resource usage in dynamic computing environments.

IBM's commitment to scalability is evident across its OS offerings. Organizations leveraging z/OS can handle enormous workloads and transactional volumes, making it a preferred choice for industries like finance and telecommunications. AIX also supports scalability, allowing businesses to expand their computing resources as demands grow without significant downtime.

The availability of development tools and environments is another noteworthy aspect of IBM OS. With robust IDEs and programming languages support, developers can create and deploy applications smoothly. This assists businesses in streamlining their development processes and improving time-to-market for innovative solutions.

In summary, IBM OS encompasses a suite of operating systems characterized by multitasking, security, adaptability to modern technologies, scalability, and comprehensive development support. These features have cemented IBM's position as a leader in enterprise solutions, allowing organizations across various industries to thrive in an increasingly digital world.
