CAVMEN - Chicago Area
VM (and Linux) Enthusiasts
|
April 29, 1999 Meeting
Meeting Agenda:
9:00 AM
| VM, Java, and NetREXX
|
| One of the most exciting recent developments in computing has
been the new Java language from Sun Microsystems.
Java is an object oriented
language that can be downloaded with a web page to execute on your
browser. The Java run time implementation permits object code
portability across heterogeneous platforms and provides other
facilities that aid in developing and distributing network centric
applications.
NetREXX is an even newer language which blends traditional REXX
syntax, constructs, and simplicity with Java object model,
function, and portability, to produce a truly general purpose
language for scripting and generating Java applets and standalone
applications.
After giving an overview of Java and NetREXX, the speaker will
outline some of the limitations and benefits
of Java application development on and for
VM/ESA.
|
| The speaker will be Mr. Will Roden of the IBM Corporation.

10:45 AM
| CMS Pipelines 101
|
| Have you been hearing everyone talk about how great CMS Pipelines
are to use, but just haven't had the chance to experiment for yourself?
Have you been using some basic plumbing techniques and haven't been
able to get anything very sophisticated to work the way you expect?
If so, come
and see some basic (and not so basic) practical examples
explained.
|
| This tutorial will be presented by several experienced CAVMEN
plumbers.
|

| Lunch Break (Lunch not provided)

1:30 PM
| Administration and Vendor Announcements

| Avoiding Pipeline Stalls
|
| Because of the depth of knowledge required to understand it,
a Pipeline stall is the most feared Pipelines bug.
This session will build the
base of knowledge needed to understand stalls. This base will
include "Multistream Pipelines", "Writing Your Own Stage Commands
in REXX", and "Delaying the record".
For those of you who are experienced plumbers, come and hear
a master plumber describe how stalls happen, what hints Pipelines
gives you to deal with them, and how to solve them.
|
| The speaker will be Mr. Will Roden of the IBM Corporation.
|
| Will Roden has been with IBM for 28 years, which includes 11
years in VM Development. Will has been the Endicott Pipelines
team leader since 1992, and is currently spending part of his
time writing VM GUI code. Will has been a Systems Analyst,
Application Programmer, DBA, Planner, and a Manager. John Hartmann,
the pipelines author, has recognized Will as a "Master Plumber".

| Free-for-All
|
| Members will attempt to answer any reasonable VM or hardware
related questions. If you are having a problem and want to find
