Small System Executive/VSE is a pregenerated, preconfigured VSE
operating system for the IBM 4321, 4331, 4341, and 4361
systems. Designed for ease of installation, operation and
use, SSX/VSE consists of VSE components and SSX/VSE unique
prompters and aids which have been tested as a single
product.
Release 3 continues to enhance the compatibility of VSE programs
that execute in an SSX/VSE environment. With the hardware
and software enhancements of Release 3 and the compatibility
of most VSE user programs, SSX/VSE should be considered for
use in many stand-alone and networking environments.

SSX/VSE unique functions (menus, prompters, helps, tutorials)
provided in SSX/VSE Release 2 are also provided for most Release 3
enhancements. Certain functions may require skills above the normal
SSX/VSE skills for installation, activation, and use.
Additional Hardware Support:
Support of IBM 4361 Processors:
* IBM 4361 processors and configurations which comply with the
SSX/VSE hardware support environment.
Support of additional devices and controllers:
* Up to 32 DASD addresses.
* Mixed IBM 3310/3370 DASD support. DASD need not be of the
same device type. The two SSX/VSE system disks, however,
have to be of the same type, either 3310 or 3370.
* The IBM 3430 tape unit.
* The IBM 4245 channel-attached high-speed printer.
* The IBM 3262-5, a channel-attached printer which is fully
compatible with the Display/Printer Adapter-attached 3262
Models 1 and 11.

description of how to activate this support is contained in
the Pregeneration Specification Manual.
* IBM 3705-80 and 3705-II Communication Controllers operating
in network control mode.
Enhanced functions:
* Online Problem Determination for CICS transactions. In case
of an abnormal termination of a CICS transaction, a message
on the CICS terminal informs the user of the probable cause
of the error and how to obtain additional problem
determination information. The user can either look at this
information directly or inform the System Administrator.
All information can be retrieved within the CICS
environment. This significantly improves the availability
of the SSX/VSE system by eliminating the CICS wait times due
to the VSE dump I/O.
* Extended data stream, programmed symbols, and color features
are supported for terminal printers.
* The VTAM startup parameters can easily be changed by means
of a skeleton in the ICCF library.
* Restarting of a CICS partition without shutting down and

Technical Information
Specified operating environment:
Hardware requirements:
SSX/VSE Release 3 is designed to run on IBM 4321, 4331, 4341, or
4361 processors in ECPS:VSE mode with storage sizes of one megabyte
and above. It supports disks, tapes, printers, diskettes, magnetic
character readers, optical character readers, and a range of
terminals and communication subsystems. It can be installed with 12
or 16 megabytes of virtual storage.
* Minimum Configuration: The minimum configuration needed to
run SSX/VSE is:
- Processor - IBM 4321, 4331, 4341, or 4361 with at least
1MB real storage.
- DASD - Two IBM 3310s or one IBM 3370 (two addresses).
- Tape - One IBM 8809, IBM 3411, IBM 3420, or IBM 3430.
- Console One IBM 3278-2A or IBM 3279-2C.
- Printer One IBM 3203, IBM 3211, IBM 3262, IBM 3289-4,
or IBM 4245.
- Display Station One IBM 3178, IBM 3278, or IBM 3279,
locally attached.
* Maximum Configuration: The I/O devices, terminals and lines
in Attachment A (not available on HONE) are supported in
SSX/VSE. The numbers (e.g. 8x) indicate for each device
type the maximum number of device addresses supported by
SSX/VSE when installed as an independent operating system.
Note: The device adapters shown in Attachment A are not
available on the 4341 processor. Because of this, devices
must be attached to a 4341 via a channel and a control unit.
Software requirements:
SSX/VSE Release 3 is a complete, self-contained operating system
with no prerequisite software. It is ready for use
immediately after installation.
Cross domain application communication from a processor running
SSX/VSE with another processor can be established via SDLC
lines if the other processor has one of the following
software packages installed:
* another SSX/VSE licensed program.
* ACF/VTAM with Multisystem Network Facility together with
ACF/NCP if a 3705 Communications Controller is used.
* ACF/VTAME (VSE only).
RJE connections for job networking and file transfer to other SNA
processors are possible via SDLC lines if the other processor has one
of the following software packages installed:
* another SSX/VSE licensed program.
* VSE/Advanced Functions Release 3 with VSE/POWER Version 2
and ACF/VTAME or ACF/VTAM Release 3 or later with MSNF, and
ACF/NCP if a 3705 Communications Controller is used.
* MVS/SP, JES2 Release 3 and following unless otherwise
specified and ACF/VTAM Release 3 or later with MSNF, and
ACF/NCP if a 3705 Communications Controller is used.
Job networking via BSC lines is possible if the other processor
has the following software installed:
* another SSX/VSE licensed program.
* VM/370 Remote Spooling Communications Subsystem Networking,
Release 3 (RSCS).
* VSE with VSE/POWER Version 2.
* MVS/SP and JES2 Release 3 and following unless otherwise
specified.
Note: SSX/VSE is pregenerated to communicate with other systems
using SDLC line control. SSX/VSE Pregeneration Specifications
describe how BSC line control can be used for host-to-host
connections under control of the VSE/POWER component.
Performance:
Generally, SSX/VSE Release 3 and the optional IBM programs
supported on it will have the same batch and interactive performance
as a VSE system generated with the same programs and generation
parameters on an equivalent IBM 4321, 4331, 4341, or 4361
configuration.
The performance of SSX/VSE Release 3 will be about the same as in
SSX/VSE Release 2.
SSX/VSE Release 3 is designed to run with 1 megabyte of real
storage. The usage of one or more optional programs may, however,
lead to a main memory requirement of 2 or more megabytes.
Compatibility:
Compatibility to VSE:
SSX/VSE Release 3 is upward compatible to a VSE system with the
exception of the SSX/VSE unique function, the file transfer function
and the ICCF operator console function. To be upward compatible, the
VSE system must include licensed programs at the appropriate release
levels which are contained in SSX/VSE. SSX/VSE users can
functionally enhance their systems in the future by moving to a full
function VSE System IPO/E system and related products. Additional
education may be required for the user to learn the base interfaces
such as job control language and the various user options available.
In general, existing DOS/VSE programs can be executed on SSX/VSE
if they:
* meet SSX/VSE requirements for
- Hardware configuration
- Pregenerated software components
- System layout
- Library definitions
* do not require
- Direct or indexed sequential access methods (DAM or
ISAM)
- ISAM interface program (IIP)
To perform direct access I/O, the FORTRAN user will be required
to change the source program. The data set must be defined as a VSAM
Relative Record Data Set (RRDS). See the VS/FORTRAN publications on
requirements for VSAM processing.
The majority of existing VSE programs are not affected by the
above restrictions and will therefore run on SSX/VSE. The
Pregeneration Specification Manual should be consulted for further
information.
IBM-supplied VSE licensed programs with local service are only
supported on SSX/VSE if they are announced as being supported on
SSX/VSE.
Compatibility to SSX/VSE Release 2:
All applications and files working under SSX/VSE Release 2 will
continue to work on SSX/VSE Release 3. Jobs not created by means of
SSX/VSE-supplied prompters and procedures (e.g. user-developed job
control statements) may need changes. Users already familiar with
SSX/VSE Release 2 will notice little difference in the appearance of
Release 3 at the display station.
Planning information:
Customer responsibilities:
To successfully install and use SSX/VSE Release 3 the customer
must:
* Have installed a hardware configuration supported by
SSX/VSE.
* Ensure the appropriate training of the system
administrator/operator and application programmer (when
application development is done by the customer).
* Plan for proper network layout in the case of multisystem
networking.
* Install SSX/VSE following the step by step description
provided in the SSX/VSE installation manual and by answering
the prompts of the installation prompter.
* Design his application programs to satisfy his performance
requirements.
Installation and service:
SSX/VSE Release 3 is distributed on a single magnetic tape. The
installation is supported by installation prompters. Corrective
service in the form of phase replacements or a refreshed SSX/VSE
system will be available. Appropriate procedures will be provided to
apply service on SSX/VSE and the optional program products. A
program update tape (PUT) will not be provided for SSX/VSE.
Optional program products will be maintained according to their
announcements.
Refresh of the complete SSX/VSE system will be provided on an as
required basis.
Data security, auditability and control:
SSX/VSE, via its ICCF and CICS/DOS/VS components and the optional
licensed program VSE/Access Control-Logging and Reporting, provides
the same security, auditability, and control facilities as provided
by these products in VSE. Customer management is responsible for the
selection, implementation and adequacy of security procedures for
their applications.
Problem determination:
Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability support of VSE for
the IBM 4321, 4331, 4341, and 4361 is included in SSX/VSE.
In addition specific Problem Determination Facilities are
available in SSX/VSE Release 3:
* Facility to analyze dumped data for both batch and online
programs. It helps the user to more easily identify and
overcome errors.
* Facility for online problem determination of CICS
transactions, which significantly improves the availability
of the SSX/VSE system.
* A prompter for PTF installation for SSX/VSE and optional
programs.
Program currency:
With the availability of SSX/VSE Release 3, SSX/VSE Release 2
will be withdrawn from marketing. Also, the PRPQs which were
established for SSX/VSE Release 2, for customers who wished to order
SSX/VSE without the full complement of components, will be withdrawn
from marketing at availability of Release 3.
Program service for SSX/VSE Release 2 will be provided until
December 31, 1984.
Program service for SSX/VSE Release 1 will continue to be
provided by IBM until December 31, 1983.

PRPQ version of SSX/VSE:
Should a customer wish to use SSX/VSE without the full complement
of components, a PRPQ version of SSX/VSE Release 3 is available
(5799-BNF, PRPQ 7B1030).
The customer ordering the PRPQ version of SSX/VSE Release 3 will
receive from PID the SSX/VSE tape with all components and
instructions on how to delete a component(s) from the SSX/VSE
product. The component(s) must be deleted after SSX/VSE is initially
installed and each time the system is refreshed via a Program
Temporary Fix (PTF) tape or a refresh tape.
The following apply to SSX/VSE Release 3 when one or more
components have been deleted:
* The monthly license percentage (70%) credited to the
one-time charge remains unchanged and applies to the first
six consecutive monthly charges for the non-deleted
components only.
* SSX/VSE at DSLO locations may contain fewer components than
at the basic license location. However, the SSX/VSE basic
location must contain the SSX/VSE components of all of its
associated DSLO locations.
* For SSX/VSE accounts who initially installed the complete
SSX/VSE product and later decide to delete a component(s),
the new price will be effective one month after IBM is
notified in writing of the customer's intention to delete a
component(s).
* For installed SSX/VSE customers who have selected the
one-time charge option, the new one-time charge applies only
if the customer deletes or adds a component(s) prior to the
completion of the test period (two months).
* Maintenance procedures, including the application of PTFs,
may be affected in the event one or more components are
deleted from SSX/VSE.
* Local program support charges for SSX/VSE will remain the
same when a component(s) is deleted. Since the deletion of
a component(s) is treated as altered code, the customer may
be subject to additional billing if the alteration is
determined to be the cause of a problem.
* There may be instances in which SSX/VSE may be affected
operationally if one or more components are deleted.
The ordering information and licensing instructions for PRPQs for
SSX/VSE Release 3 that request the deletion of one or more
components are contained in Attachment C of this
