    摘要: Two or more user applications executing on one or more processors, each controlled by an operating system, share use of a list and subsidiary list structure within a Structured External Storage (SES) facility to which each processor is connected. One of the applications registers interest in particular state transitions affecting one or more subsidiary lists within the list structure, causing a process within the SES to notify the appropriate processor when a list operation causes the particular state transition, without interrupting processing on the processor. The application receives notice of the state transition by periodically polling a vector within the processor, or by receiving control when a test by the operating system of a summary indicator for the vector causes an application exit to be driven.

    摘要: A lock structure, which includes many entries, is partitioned into segments. A number of the segments are cleaned up in parallel, such that cleanup processing of the entire lock structure is optimized. The lock structure is maintained within a coupling facility, which provides access to the lock structure by one or more processors coupled to the coupling facility. The cleaning up of the lock structure is performed by commands driven by the one or more processors and executed within the coupling facility.

    摘要: A method and system for capturing and controlling access to information in a data processing system are provided. The data processing system includes one or more operating systems coupled to a coupling facility. When one or more operating systems lose communication with the coupling facility, a surviving operating system captures some or all of the information in the coupling facility, including that information associated with the failed operating system(s). In order to capture the information when a system fails or at any other time, the information in the coupling facility is serialized, thereby preventing all access to the information except for those commands capturing the information. While the information is serialized, requests for the information are queued and then re-driven once serialization is released. If an operating system loses communication with the coupling facility during the creation of a dump, another operating system will continue the dump.
