WAVV Requirement Form[Informati1] 

 

Date: 08/08/2006                                            Requirement #:  WAVV200704

Product Name:   RSCS           Product Release# (or state “current”): Current

Vendor Name:    IBM

 

Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)GCS Needs to Register for SIGNAL SHUTDOWN and exit cleanly upon receiving the signal, terminating subordinate tasks and exiting.

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

 

Without manual setup, terminating a RSCS link at VM shutdown by simply forcing RSCS will cause problems restarting communications with z/OS or MVS systems. Enabling GCS group controller machines and RSCS to register for SIGNAL SHUTDOWN would allow a controlled shutdown of GCS-based subsystems, ensuring that the systems were terminated as cleanly as possible.

                                                                                            

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)

Ease of Use, R/A/S

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?)

 

Avoidance of interoperability and automation problems with z/OS systems and NJE. Saves operator and system programmer diagnostics time, and application monitoring complexity, simplifies automation, and corrects perception problem with VM being "unreliable".

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

 

Modify GCS and RSCS to register for SIGNAL SHUTDOWN and perform orderly termination when signal received.

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

 

Fixes long-standing problem with automation and sequencing of link shutdown and initialization following dirty RSCS shutdown.
