WAVV Requirement Form

 

Date: 9/9/2001                                             Requirement #:  WAVV200207

Product Name:    VSE    Product Release#:      

Vendor Name:     IBM

 

Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)Add a delete option to SET SDL process

Detailed Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)

 

Adding a phase to SVA is a performance option, but sometimes the loaded phase can not be used from the SVA. For example the phase is not realy reentrant, the phase is marked as AMODE 31 (which caused it to be loaded into SVA31) but has an AMODE 24 instructions.  In both cases the phase can be executed if loaded into the partition.

Once loaded into the SVA there is no official method to delete it.

                                                                                            

Priority: (Select one: Urgent - High - Medium - Low) Low

Requested Completion Date: (When? Examples: 3 months, 1 year, Next Release) Next Release

Requirement Type: (Select one: Acceptability - Compatibility/Migration - Ease of Use - Feature/Function - Performance - Reliability/Availability/Serviceability - Packaging - Interoperability)

Feature/Ease of Use

Business Justification: (Why? Non-technical business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your company, and the vendor and others?  Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc.   Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)

 

In the situation described above the official method is to do an IPL, a  costly option.

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)

 

Add a DELETE option to the SET SDL command:

SET SDL

phasename,DELETE

/*

Notes:

1) the DELETE option should use the logic employed today with reload to SVA of phase which does not exist in current LIBDEF, i.e.  mark the SDL entry as not usable and leave the phase in SVA storage.

2) Since some vendor products keeps pointer to the loaded SVA phase add a warning to use this option with caution.

Impact: (Optional) (How will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)
