Phoenix Software released updates for its product line in September 2021
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., September 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Phoenix Software International, Inc. today announced the general availability of JES3plus V1R1, a derivative work based on IBM’s z / OS® JES3. This version integrates SPOOL I / O performance improvements that were made available to JES3plus customers through continuous delivery earlier this year. This is the first version of JES3 technology to include enhancements since early 2015 and coincides with z / OS 2.5, the last version of z / OS with JES3. Companies wishing to keep this technology migrating to JES3plus can now take advantage of an improved product with a roadmap for future development.
JES3plus V1R1
JES3plus V1R1 supports two newer channel programming techniques to improve performance:
-
ACKD – channel programs with a shortened prefix that can process an entire track instead of a data set at the same time. This improvement takes advantage of MIDAW support.
-
zHPF – Channel programs that use the Fiber Channel Extensions (FCX) feature of z / Architecture to transmit the entire channel program to the device for processing, rather than having CCWs transmitted when they are found.
Phoenix Software’s JES3plus Customer Advisory Board is actively helping to prioritize the product’s improvement roadmap.
“We knew early on that improving JES3plus with the latest I / O technologies would be a priority,” said Ed Jaffe, chief technology officer at Phoenix Software International. “Waiting for a mission-critical global restart of JES3 can feel like forever and you sweat bullets all the time. zHPF has reduced this waiting time in our area by more than 80% and our customers have enjoyed similar benefits. Much of the credit for the smooth introduction of this new, improved JES3plus release goes to our ISV partners and early test participants, whose keen participation and incredible patience have made a significant contribution to this successful introduction. “
