Other Problems Solved on BS2000/OSD

Description

  • Upper limit of Natural subtasks increased from 20 to 100.

  • Execute NPRINIT in MAIN task with PROG-MOD=ANY.

  • Deferred ESY ADAEND processing to properly execute shutdown of internal products.

  • Support different configurations of Natural batch driver to read dynamic parameters for Natural subtasking. The new startup parameter NATDYNPAR has been introduced to specify the input unit of dynamic parameters and a revised edition of the Natural subtask job skeletons is provided.

  • Since Entire System Server supports BS2000/OSD V.2 and above, a console message will be issued if an earlier operating system version has been detected. Please note that the next release of ESY will require BS2000/OSD Version 2 and cannot run with older operating system versions.

    The following message appears as warning:

    XCO0091W BS2000/OSD V.2 or above is recommended.

Cancelled Support

Support of LMS Version 1 will be canceled with the next version of Entire System Server.
