Issue/Introduction

Comparing Current Release with R14.2, SYSVIEW and SYSVUSER procedures now execute new programs:

R142        //SYSVUSER EXEC PGM=GSVXASCT,REGION=0M,TIME=1440,

NewRel    //SYSVUSER EXEC PGM=GSV$USER,REGION=0M,TIME=1440,


R142        //SYSVIEW  EXEC PGM=GSVXASCT,REGION=0M,TIME=1440,

NewRel    //SYSVIEW  EXEC PGM=GSV$MAIN,REGION=0M,TIME=1440,


GSVXASCT was the program for both procedures with SYSVIEW 14.2.  Now they are unique.  Does this change anything with the procedure startup order? 

Does anything change from this perspective?  GSVXASCT is still a valid load module for the newer release?

Trying to review the manuals for what the changes are, but they do not reference the new programs, and the 15.0 documentation still references GSVXASCT as the program the procedures run.

 

Environment

Sysview R15 and R16

Cause

This was changed in Feature PTF SO06572 (SYSVIEW 15.0 FEATURE PTF 10), this is why this change was not seen in the Release Notes, and incorporated into SYSVIEW code with R16.0

Resolution

Installing either 15.0 SYSVIEW from complete GA pax file, or install 16.0, the generated procedures in SAMPJCL have a different PGM= value than they did for prior releases. 

However, there is no functional difference using the new names or the old name GSVXASCT.  The three new PGM values are simply load module ALIAS of GSVXASCT. 

It was just a way to more easily externally identify SYSVIEW from SYSVUSER from SYSVAUX.
