Re: Basic Maintenance for a noob.

  OK, you get learning what it was is like.
  Yes unless you change the JES2 initialization parameters.
  You should be able to open the output file and see what is there.  I
can do so while the OS running under Hercules.
   MF/1 was the precursor to RMF (Resource Management Facility) and the
performance analyst would tailor what MF/1 or RMF would output and how
often.  They would then make adjustments to the system based on the
results.  Your boss seeing such output would not be likely.
