Integrated/open access for new application development/connectivity
XML, Java, and Web services enhancements
IMS XQuery support provides access using standard XQuery expressions to IMS full-function data,
including new IMS XML data. This opens IMS to the emerging market of off-the-shelf, third-party
tools (for example, query generation tools for application development, business reporting, data
sharing, ...) and offers a standard shareable integration point between IMS and other industry
databases. IMS XQuery is supported through the existing IMS JDBC interface. IMS XQuery support
enhances IMS data integration, eases application development, and increases programmer productivity.
IMS SOA Composite Business application support provides a next-generation business process to
integrate J2EE resources, services, and activities — like user interventions — based on Web
services with the Business Process Execution Language. This extends existing IMS transactions to
include conversational transactions, as SOA-based composite business applications using the IMS
Connector for Java and WebSphere tooling and run time, maximizing re-use of IMS assets in new
applications for rapid business innovation and reduced costs.
Integrated Connect XML Adapter support for COBOL, together with the IMS SOAP Gateway and WebSphere
Developer for z (WDz), enables reuse of IMS applications as Web services, leveraging open standards,
utilizing flexible tooling support, and providing IMS transaction interoperation with client
applications independent of location, programming language, and platform. These items are also
being provided through the IMS SOAP Gateway and IMS V9.2 service process.
IMS Callout support enables IMS applications as clients, interoperating with business logic outside
the IMS environment. It provides for asynchronous callout to an external application — for
example, a Web service or a WebSphere application — through the IMS SOAP Gateway or IMS Connector
for Java. This support allows for better integration in an SOA environment and includes correlation
mapping between the callout request and the external application, enhanced security, and assistance
on destination routing by avoiding the coding of IMS DFSYPRX0 and DFSYDRU0 user exits.
IMS Java library support enhances DB2 result sets and GSAM usage. This offers the ability to return
IMS data to the stored procedure client encapsulated within a DB2 result set, with the conversion to
the DB2 result set handled by the Java libraries. The Java libraries are also enhanced to support
GSAM databases consistent with other IMS database types, which allows all of the supported data
types to be stored into and read from a GSAM database record, and fully leverages the existing Java
library built-in data conversion routines.
DLIModel utility enhancements provide GSAM support and a new user interface. The DLIModel utility
was enhanced to provide metadata generation support for GSAM databases. The DLIModel GUI is an
Eclipse plugin that provides a user-friendly interface for viewing and generating IMS database
metadata. The DLIModel utility GUI fully supports the parsing of Program Specification Blocks
(PSBs) and Database Definitions (DBDs), now including GSAM, and the importing of COBOL copybooks
while eliminating any need to program control statements. It generates IMS Java metadata classes,
IMS XML Schemas (with new annotations for XQuery support), or DBD and PSB XMIs. These enhancements
simplify IMS metadata generation, ease IMS Java and XML Database application development, and offer
a visual representation of IMS databases with printing support. This can help achieve rapid
application development and reduced cost of development and ownership.
XML DB mapping enhancements allow for expanded mappings between new or existing IMS databases and
visualized XML documents or collections. These enhancements widen the scope of supported XML
documents for new IMS databases, and ease disparate data integration across the enterprise.
MFS Web support provides access to existing IMS applications from WebSphere Application Server
environments, protecting your assets. MFS Web services enhancements expose attributes and extended
attributed fields for Web services applications. MFS Web Enablement now includes access from
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, in addition to Windows and AIX, and adds customizable display
enhancements, allowing drop-down list boxes and infopops on familiar look-and-feel 3270 Web pages.
These items are also being provided through the IMS V9 service process.
IMS Connector for Java PL/I application support is provided using Rational Application Developer
tooling and WebSphere Application Servers to allow IMS PL/I applications to be enabled as Web
services without IMS application changes. This support is also being provided for IMS V9
applications.
Multiple Systems Coupling (MSC) VTAM Generic Resources (VGR) support provides a remote IMS the
ability to use a generic resource node name to communicate with an IMS within an IMS Sysplex through
the MSC facility. A remote IMS can use a single MSC link definition to connect to the partner link
in any of the IMSs in the IMS Sysplex. Cloned MSC links can be used across IMSs for connection to
remote IMSs.
APPC enhancements provide support for timeout granularity in seconds, and Local Logical Units (LUs).
For LU 6.2 descriptors, you can specify a Local-LU at the descriptor level, thus providing for more
flexibility.
OTMA autonomic enhancements include:
-
Callout Descriptors that identify alternate destinations and allow you to define routing
information, thus eliminating the need to code OTMA routing exits to perform these tasks
-
Ability to activate message flood detection by suppressing input messages, if needed
-
The detection of wait synchpoint hangs and taking the timeout action, if needed
-
Member start/stop to suppress new input transactions and to resume the stopped member to accept new
input transactions
-
Member-level security with each member having its own security level
-
Additional information on the DISPLAY commands
Connect enhancements ease usability by providing support for Commit Mode 1, Message flood detection,
Alternate Client ID, and enforced client ID uniqueness.
These enhancements improve programmer productivity and connectivity in performance, capacity,
availability, recovery, security, and manageability.
Additional security enhancements include:
-
RACF error message reduction.
-
Support for z/OS mixed-mode passwords.
-
Faster RACF auditing.
-
Conversational Security enrichment items.
-
A mechanism on client input to the integrated IMS Connect function to change the password associated
with the client ID. Customer-written applications will have the ability to change the client RACF
password.
-
You will be able to define to integrated Connect the aging value used by OTMA within IMS for the
aging value of the ACEEs used by RACF. The current default value is "forever."
-
RACF mixed-case passwords are supported, preserving the original password value rather than
attempting to translate the password to uppercase.
These items enhance security and reduce unnecessary error messages.
Manageability through staging users to autonomic computing
Reduced system generation time/effort enhancements
Dynamic resource definition and management enhancements simplify these activities.
-
New commands are provided to allow you to dynamically add, change, and delete MODBLKS resources
(databases, programs, routing codes, and transactions) without having to go through the IMS system
definition or online change process.
-
The Destination Creation user exit (DFSINSX0) has been enhanced and can be used to create
transactions for scheduling, not just queueing, along with programs.
-
QUERY commands are provided to display both the definitional attributes and the status of MODBLKS
resources.
-
EXPORT and IMPORT commands are provided to save and restore resource definitions to and from an
external data source.
-
MSC resources can be dynamically updated and queried.
-
The IMS TSO SPOC has been enhanced with a new user interface that can be used to manage IMS
resources.
These enhancements provide for nondisruptive addition, change, and deletion of resources in IMS,
simplifying operations, easing the installation/generation effort, increasing system control, and
extending transaction scheduling.
Syntax Checker enhancements add new support and update existing support for currently supported
members, and add additional proclib and field options, new panels, and new keyword display options.
These enhancements ease the installation effort.
Installation Verification Program (IVP) enhancements are provided to support new IMS functions with
step-by-step and menu-driven jobs and tasks that guide users to use and explore useful sample
applications. For example, Java panels are added to the standard IMS IVP panels to contain the
necessary steps to configure, deploy, and run the applications. This greatly simplifies the
necessary upfront work to verify that Java workload can be scheduled in an IMS-dependent region.
These enhancements assist in reducing the installation effort.
Operations and system management enhancements
Operations Manager (OM) enhancements use the z/OS logger to provide an input/output audit trail for
IMS commands entered from a single point of control (SPOC). The user can configure this so each OM
uses its own log, or all OMs use the same merged log for all SPOC activity. These enhancements also
use the SPOC to display unsolicited messages and use the OM to track commands/responses. These
enhancements can ease operations management and improve output and auditability for commands entered
through the SPOC.
Systems Management enhancements provide the ability for IMS to maintain global command status for
databases, areas, and transactions in the IMS Resource Manager Resource Structure to be applied to
new or restarting IMSs in a Sysplex that were down when the command was issued. This provides an
autonomic provision of a single system image among IMSs in a Sysplex. Other enhancements allow
users to:
-
Control when messages get logged to the secondary master
-
Allow users to queue messages and enter transactions from the OM API
These enhancements extend single point of operations support, simplify systems management, and
provide more granular control of logging of secondary master messages.
Sysplex Serialized Program Management (SSPM) will utilize the Resource Manager (RM) to manage serial
program scheduling across the IMS Sysplex in a shared queues environment so that only one iteration
of a serial program is running at a time in the IMS Sysplex. This eases operations application flow
management.
Application Control Block Library (ACBLIB) online change commit and /DISPLAY MODIFY ALL are changed
to no longer treat messages on the local queues in a nonshared queue environment as work in progress
for transactions indirectly affected by online change. This improves the usability of online change
by increasing the chances that commit will succeed, especially for an ACBLIB-only online change.
Enterprise Workload Manager (EWLM) support provides for workload management tracking across
environments, integrating IMS with EWLM's end-to-end workload management. This enhancement flows
EWLM Correlators with an IMS transaction, using an enhanced version of the existing workload manager
services to pass correlators back to the EWLM, thus enhancing workload balancing and easing
operations.
Transaction Level Statistics allows users to log application accounting information at the
conclusion of each unit of work (commit) with logging done on a transaction-by-transaction basis at
the discretion of the user. This provides a new option for obtaining application statistics for each
unit of recovery. IMS will log the new records to reflect the messages processed within a commit
scope. This eases operations, offering more granular information.
Selectively Display System Parameters provides improved visibility of the startup parameters values,
shows only the active feature's systems parameters, and shows the actual value of each parameter
after reading the log. This improves system parameter visibility and can help determine actual
values for optimal configurations and user response times. These enhancements ease operations,
reduce customer/vendor usermods, and offer more granular information.
Serviceability enhancements
Base Primitive Environment (BPE) Trace Table enhancements provide for the contents of the BPE trace
table to be written to external media to preserve them for improved serviceability and problem
determination. The user will be able to set trace parameters in the BPE configuration PROCLIB
member. This provides the ability to trace the system over longer periods of time and increases the
likelihood of getting diagnostic data the first time with fewer re-creates. This eases operations
and serviceability.
Abend Search and Notification support can reduce problem determination time by providing real-time
automatic e-mail notification that an event such as abnormal termination user/system abends has
occurred. The e-mail notification contains hyperlinks (URLs) to IBM-supplied Internet resources for
understanding, analyzing, and resolving problems. This function not only automatically notifies
system programmers of a system failure, but also provides direct, up-to-date, real-time access to
abend information and descriptions, reducing the skill level necessary to identify and find
solutions to problems, thus easing problem resolution and improving availability.
Knowledge-Based Log Analysis (KBLA) enhancements provide for the KBLA utility support of log record
changes and the KBLA ISPF environment to generate JCL to accommodate all supported levels of IMS and
support multiple concurrent releases of IMS. This allows concurrent KBLA access for multiple IMS
levels without any setup reconfiguration, easing operations.
Additional serviceability enhancements include:
-
Dump address space selection enhanced to ensure that all needed address spaces are dumped
-
Shutdown trace to assist in analyzing problems in the shutdown process
-
Message Upgrade for DFS064 and DFS065 to include destination name, QSCD Dump formatting
improvements, LSMB Dump formatting improvements, and improved DFSERA30 formatting of split records
These items ease problem determination and increase awareness of problems and their resolution.
Scalability in high performance/capacity/availability/recovery
DBRC enhancements
Parallel Recovery Control (RECON) Access provides an option to use Record Level Sharing for the
RECON via use of the Transactional VSAM (DFSMStvs). Serialization of access to the RECON at the
dataset level is replaced by concurrent processing of DBRC requests from multiple IMS systems,
thereby reducing contention to the RECON data set. This provides the ability to improve transaction
throughput and response time that will result from reducing or eliminating RECON contention. This
strategy helps reduce or eliminate transaction response time issues, unplanned system quiesces for
OLDS switches, and growth constraints. This enhances availability and recoverability in a Sysplex
environment.
DBRC API enhancements allow the RECON dataset to be updated as well as read, and to secure the RECON
by limiting the level of access to individual users. This further enhances the API, which was first
introduced in IMS V9 to provide users with a single release-independent interface to the RECON.
These enhancements provide enhanced architected access to simplify tooling and programming efforts,
offering release independence, additional functionality, and enhanced usability and migration.
READONLY RECON dataset access support removes the requirement that all users have CONTROL access to
the RECONs. Users can now be assigned one of three levels of access — READ, UPDATE, or ALTER.
READONLY access is supported by the DBRC Utility (DSPURX00 or DSPURXRT) as well as the DBRC API.
DBRC Timestamp Precision enhancements provide full DBRC support of timestamps with microsecond
precision, reducing timestamp collisions, thus increasing reliability and availability.
Database utilities and log enhancements
Image Copy 2 (IC2) enhancements include support for the fast replication capability of Data Set
FlashCopy on Enterprise Storage Servers and SnapShot on RAMAC Virtual Array (RVA) DASD subsystems
for database image copy/restore processing. Enhancements also include an improved, statement-driven,
interface of the SET Patch feature of DFSMSdss. Support is provided for recording alternative DB
backup methods as concurrent/fuzzy user image copies. These items speed and improve recovery by
exploiting the latest storage technology and alternative/concurrent methods, and provide additional
information to ease use.
Sort enhancements increase the core size available to OEM sort utilities called by IMS Change
Accumulation and Prefix Resolution. The default is also changed. This allows more OEM Unit Control
Blocks (UCBs) to be allocated below the 16 MB line, thus increasing the available number of sort
work datasets, providing for efficiency in change accumulation and prefix resolution and improving
performance.
Statistics Utilities Shared Queues support provides for including shared queues in the Log
Transaction analysis and Statistical analysis utilities, thus providing additional information for
managing these environments.
Indirect List Data Set (ILDS) Rebuild Utility enhancements improve the performance of ILDS creation
by avoiding Control Area (CA) and Control Interval (CI) splits, observing the VSAM free space
requirements so the ILDS can be provided for reorganization, by sorting Indirect List Entry (ILE)
records in data spaces and inserting them into the ILDS sequentially, and taking advantage of VSAM
KSDS free space. This support improves overall recovery time for recoveries requiring the ILDS to
be rebuilt and improves performance of subsequent offline reorganization reloads using the ILDS with
free space as input.
Fast Path (FP) enhancements
These enhancements include improved Expedited Message Handler (EMH), increased buffers, and
availability/usability items. FP EMH enhancements add command support to reset FP response mode for
static nodes and dynamic users. This provides the capability to free up hung terminals in Fast Path
Response mode without requiring an IMS restart. The 64K DEDB buffer limit is removed. There is no
longer a maximum number of buffers that can be defined for the DEDB buffer pool. Additional
enhancements for DEDB users are the ability to start the DEDB and all of its areas with a single
command and an option for not unloading the randomizer when /DBR DB is used. This eliminates the
need to start the areas of a DEDB individually and improve ECSA usage. For Virtual Storage Option
(VSO) users, automatic compression of the SVSO private pool at XRF tracking is provided. These
items enhance performance, capacity, usability, availability, and ease operations.
MSC bandwidth enhancements use improved blocking technology to improve performance response times
for transaction and output message throughput. Enhancements also allow for even larger link buffers
with dynamic change of buffer sizes, inclusion of responses in the buffer, and sending it all with a
single send/write. Statistics are provided to ascertain performance and make adjustments. These
enhancements offer more efficiency, better hardware utilization, improve performance, require fewer
links, and make this environment easier to manage.
Additional performance/capacity availability enhancements
Virtual Storage Constraint Relief enhancements provide a new option to move blocks from CSA to
31-bit storage, allowing CICS and Open Database Access (ODBA) applications to use the larger PSBs
without putting further pressure on below-the-line storage. This provides increased capacity.
Large sequential data set enhancements support z/OS changes to remove the size limit of 64 KB tracks
per volume for sequential data sets for BSAM, QSAM, and EXCP. This reduces the need to use multiple
volumes for single datasets and relieves capacity restrictions.
ACBLIB Member Online Change (OLC) provides for individual ACBLIB members to be added or changed
(though not deleted) without a library switch, which earlier was required for a full OLC. Only the
resources associated with the change will be quiesced. This function coexists with existing full
library switch OLC capability. This ACBLIB function makes online change for ACBLIB more usable and
enhances availability.
Application Control Block generation (ACBGEN) 31-bit enhancements utilize storage above the line to
address problems with insufficient storage below the line that might occur when building an ACB with
a large number of Program Communication Blocks (PCBs). PSBs can now have 2,500 PCBs, thereby
increasing capacity and availability. This item is also being provided through the IMS V9 service
process.

IMS, the recognized database manager and transaction server in the
industry, is critical to your business. Exclusive to the z/OS platform,
IMS V10 complements DB2® and WebSphere® servers for database and
transaction management. All of these are strategic IBM products and
continue to be enhanced.
IMS Database Manager utilizes hierarchical organization technology,
whereas DB2, Oracle, and desktop systems utilize relational database
technology. Hierarchical and relational databases have each continued to
grow with their specific characteristics and different roles to play.
Hierarchical is best used for mission-critical work and for work that
requires the utmost in performance. Relational is best used for decision
support.
Hierarchical databases can offer a significant performance edge over
relational databases when queries are known beforehand. Query
optimization for relational databases ensures good performance where the
query is not known in advance. Each type is best at what it does. The
products supporting these technologies are enhanced to address the
different application requirements and are continuing to more and more
overlap in their capabilities. However, the product originally designed
for a particular capability will inherently be the best.
Relational and hierarchical technology can work together for optimum
solutions. Users can efficiently store operational data in hierarchical
form, which can be accessed easily by their favorite relational decision
support tools, with minimal impact on the production hierarchical data.
IMS data can be accessed directly or propagated and replicated with
relational data for summarizing, enhancing, and mining. IBM provides
standard application interfaces for accessing IMS as well as other data.
Both relational and hierarchical IMS data can be most efficiently
accessed, together or independently, using the IMS Transaction Manager
and WebSphere servers.
IBM continues to invest in providing these complementary solutions. Note
that most IMS customers also have DB2.
IMS Transaction Manager and WebSphere servers are both strategic
application managers and are enhanced to take advantage of each other.
They each have inherently different characteristics. IMS is more
efficient in application management, data storage, and data access but
applies strict rules for this access. WebSphere make it easier to serve
the Web and integrate data that may have been less defined in advance.
Thus, they play different roles in the enterprise. Customers are using
both application managers — WebSphere for newer Web-based applications,
and IMS for more mission-critical high performance/availability and
low-cost/transaction applications and data.
IMS and WebSphere products together have been providing tools to make
this combination an optimum environment. Using IMS Connect/Connector for
Java, WebSphere development tooling can develop Web applications that can
serve the Web and easily access existing/new mission-critical IMS
applications. Using JDBC and IMS Open Database Access, WebSphere
applications can also access IMS DB data directly.
IBM demonstrates its commitments to you by continuing to enhance IMS.
Current investments have:
-
Substantially improved database availability
-
Established open access to IMS transactions
-
Extended Parallel Sysplex® systems support

Compatibility:
IMS V10 is upwardly compatible from previous versions, allowing
existing applications and data to be used without change. Migration and
coexistence support is provided for IMS V8 and V9 with V10. Review the
Preventative Service Planning information and the IMS V10 Planning Guide
for further details.
IMS V8 was the last release to support the IMS V5 SDEP CI format.
IMS V9 was the last release to support the Security Maintenance Utility
(SMU). Customers using SMU should migrate to RACF or an equivalent
product.
IMS V9 was the last release in which the MSC user routing exits
(DFSCMTR0, DFSCMLR0, DFSCMPR0, and DFSCNPRT0) may be used. DFSMSCE0 must
be used in IMS V10.
IMS V9 was the last release to support the Basic Telecommunications
Access Method (BTAM). Customers using BTAM should migrate to Virtual
Telecommunications Access Method (VTAM) or TCP/IP. User code or tools
dependent on BTAM should migrate to VTAM or TCP/IP.
Performance considerations:
IMS on a Sysplex runs over 21,000 transactions per second (nearly
two billion transactions per day)
-
The IBM performance group has been achieving extremely high transaction
rates with IMS running in a high-stress Sysplex environment using four
IMSs on a single z990 processor and an IBM eServer® zSeries® 990
Model B16 (Type 2084, Model B16). IMS achieved 21,396 transactions per
second (tps) at 99.65% CPU utilization and a DASD rate of 27,448 I/Os per
second, all with database updates using the IMS Fast Path Shared
Expedited Message Handling queue capability, 4-way Data Sharing, Shared
Virtual Storage Option areas, and the new IMS capability.
-
Using the z990 processor and the IBM TotalStorage® Enterprise Storage
Server Model 800 (Type 2105, Model 800), IMS reached 28.5 MB/second
logging bandwidth. This shows that IMS scales up to large logging
requirements for high-stress IMS activity such as Multiple Systems
Coupling and Shared Queues.
-
These performance tests demonstrate that nothing can match the
performance of IMS and the zSeries in transaction rates and database
access. Thus, IMS continues to lead the industry in the twenty-first
century for driving your on demand solutions and all your business needs.

zSeries Usage Pricing (Usage License Charge) Basic License:
To order a basic license, specify the appropriate program and feature number, if required, for
asset registration. Specify the applicable S/390® and zSeries Usage Pricing feature. Also,
specify the feature number of the desired distribution medium.
Charges will be based upon the peak MSUs. Usage reported between thresholds of features 1, 2, or 3,
will be rounded up to the next MSU level. Above 1.0 MSU, usage will be rounded to the nearest
whole MSU. For example, 2.4 MSUs would round to 2.0 MSUs for pricing, and 2.5 MSUs would round to
3.0 MSUs for pricing.
The customer pricing will be determined by selecting either:
Feature 1 (if usage is below 0.25 MSU)
Feature 2 (if usage is between 0.26 and 0.50)
Feature 3 (if usage is between 0.51 and 1.0)
Feature 3+ (# MSUs from 2-11 times the charge associated
with feature number 4) + (# MSUs from 12-44
times the charge associated with feature number 5) +
(# MSUs from 45-78 times the charge associated with
feature number 6) + (# MSUs above 78 times the
charge associated with feature number 7,
if applicable)

Sub-capacity charges for VWLC products
Sub-capacity charges for VWLC products are based on product LPAR utilization capacity. Product LPAR
utilization capacity for a VWLC product is the highest number of MSUs utilized by the combined LPARs
in which a VWLC product runs concurrently during a reporting period. The number of MSUs is based on
the highest observed rolling four-hour average utilization used by the combination of the relevant
LPARs during the reporting period. Refer to Software Announcement
200-354
, dated October 3, 2000; Software Announcement
201-258
, dated September 11, 2001; and Software Announcement
202-105
, dated April 30, 2002, for additional details on IBM Workload License Charges.
Sub-capacity charges terms and conditions
zSeries software charges at less than full machine capacity for eligible VWLC products apply when
z/OS is running in z/Architecture™ (64-bit) mode on an IBM eServer zSeries 900, no other
MVS™-based operating system is licensed to that server and the required information is provided by
the customer in accordance with the applicable terms.
Sub-capacity charges for a VWLC product is based on the utilization of the LPARs where/when the
product executes. To obtain charges at less than full machine capacity for VWLC products, the
customer is required to:
-
Sign and abide by the terms of the Attachment for IBM System z™ Workload License Charges —
Pre-ILM (Z125-6516).
-
Obtain the latest version of the Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool
-
Install any VWLC product and IBM eServer zSeries 900 Licensed Internal Code (LIC) service required
for sub-capacity charging. Required service will be listed on the WLC Web site
-
Collect SMF data as required by the Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool. Retain
the collected SMF data for a period of not less than six months.
-
Use the IBM provided Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool to process the collected
SMF data. The Sub-Capacity Report produced by the tool is used to
determine required license capacity for the VWLC products. Required
license capacity is determined based on the largest MSU value of a VWLC
product running concurrently in all LPARs during the reporting period.
IBM reserves the right to request the system data that supports these
product defined capacity values for a period of up to six months after
the data was collected.
-
Provide an initial Sub-Capacity Report to begin to receive the benefits
of less than full machine capacity charges. Sub-capacity charging will
follow submission of a Sub-Capacity Report. There will be no retroactive
application of sub-capacity charges.
-
Submit Sub-Capacity Reports monthly.
-
Submit Sub-Capacity Reports for all VWLC products with complete data for
the entire reporting period to the e-mail address and by the date,
specified on the zSeries Software Pricing Web site and in the current IBM
System z Workload License Charges Exhibit (Z125-6324)
Sub-Capacity Reports that reflect a changed product defined capacity will
be considered to be orders placed by the customer without further action
on the customer's part and IBM is authorized to make any resulting
billing increase or decrease. To place an order for a new license or to
discontinue licenses, move licenses between machines, report a hardware
model upgrade or enable or disable product features, the customer must
contact IBM or their IBM Business Partner
-
Configure machine to send weekly Transmit System Availability Data (TSAD)
to IBM via the IBM eServer zSeries 900 Remote Support Facility (RSF). if
the machine cannot connect via the RSF, provide this TSAD via an
alternate means documented in the z/OS publication
