摘要： A backup operation is performed on a source data set. The data set is segmented into a plurality of blocks. An update bit indicator is implemented for each of the plurality of blocks. The update bit indicator is appended to a field of an existing data index or tied to a mapping table having a relative byte address (RBA). The update bit indicator is set for each of the plurality of blocks which are newly created or changed from a first backup to a second backup, which generates a dump data set containing compressed blocks from the source data set. A backup operation is executed to backup each of the plurality of blocks having the update bit indicator set. The data index or mapping table is updated to show which of the plurality of blocks have changed from the first backup to the second backup.

摘要： A method and system for improving the connection for the receptacle used to receive external electrical power and transfer power to the mother board in a laptop computer. The laptop power receptacle is provided a robust connection that is capable of absorbing external forces of the power cable. A power supply is connected to a first female receptacle, which is fastened to the laptop casing. Inside the laptop computer, the first female receptacle is connected to a male receptacle by flexible conductive wire. The male receptacle fits into a second female power receptacle on the mother board. Since the external power supply cable is indirectly attached to the mother board via the flexible wire, the solder joints of the power receptacle on the mother board never receive stress, regardless of how much stress is applied to the external power cable.

摘要： Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for selecting pages implementing leaf nodes and internal nodes of a data set index for reuse in memory. Pages in the memory are allocated to internal nodes and leaf nodes of a tree data structure representing all or a portion of a data set index for the data set, wherein the leaf nodes include information on members of the data set. The internal nodes include one or more keys used to traverse the tree data structure to reach the leaf nodes to access the members of the data set. At least one page allocated to the leaf nodes and the internal nodes is selected based on durations during which the allocated pages have not been used. Pages allocated to the leaf nodes are selected for reuse at a higher rate than the pages allocated to the internal nodes.

摘要： An abnormal termination recovery is performed where storage is referenced shortly after the storage has been freed. More specifically, when storage is freed, and that storage is accessed, an abnormal termination error (e.g., a page translation exception event) occurs due to referencing storage that has not been obtained. When the abnormal termination error occurs, an abnormal termination recovery operation is accessed. The abnormal termination recovery operation scans a history of storage freeing operations (e.g., FREEMAIN operations) to determine whether the storage location accessed by the storage access that caused the abnormal termination error was recently freed from within the same address space. If the storage location was recently freed, then the abnormal termination recovery operation reverses the storage freeing operation by issuing a storage obtaining operation (e.g., a GETMAIN operation) to re-obtain the storage.

摘要： Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for using an alias volume name for a volume to allocate space to a data set. An assignment of a plurality of volumes to a data set is maintained, wherein the volumes are configured in a storage system. A request is received to extend the data set. A determination is made as to whether one of the volumes previously assigned to the data set has an allocation amount of available space in the storage system in response to the request to extend the data set. An alias volume name is assigned to the data set for the previously assigned volume determined to have the allocation amount of available space, wherein the alias volume name provides an alternative name for the previously assigned volume. The allocation amount of available space is assigned to the data set for the alias volume name.

摘要： Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for modifying memory space allocation for inactive tasks. Information is maintained on computational resources consumed by tasks running in the computer system allocated memory space in the memory. The information on the computational resources consumed by the tasks is used to determine inactive tasks of the tasks. The allocation of the memory space allocated to at least one of the determined inactive tasks is modified.

摘要： Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for recovering a volume table and data sets from a corrupted volume. Data corruption is detected in a volume having data sets. A volume table having information on the data sets allocated in the volume is diagnosed. A backup volume table comprising a most recent valid backup of the volume table is accessed from a backup of the volume in response to determining that the diagnosed volume table is not valid. Content from the backup volume table is processed to bring to a current state in a recovery volume table for a recovery volume. The data sets in the volume are processed to determine whether they are valid. The valid data sets are moved to the recovery volume. A data recovery operation is initiated for the data sets determined not to be valid.

摘要： An approach to improving performance of a target system is disclosed. The approach may involve determining how similar a target system being considered is to other systems in use by other clients. For each of these other separate systems, the approach may involve determining the differences between the performance of the target system and the performance of the separate system, accounting for the level of similarity. A report can be generated that identifies performance values of the target system that are outside an acceptable range, which is based on the performance of the other separate systems. Based on this report, the administrator of the target system can consider configuration changes and upgrades to improve performance of the target system.
