Operating Systems AIX [Opinion] A Public Answer To Rob McNelly Post 302976032 by dukessd on Wednesday 22nd of June 2016 07:30:21 PM

I'll chip in... discussion is very welcome.

A large number of Power sysadmin are simply not able, or capable, of doing their jobs.

When they get their hands on an HMC (let alone large corporate bank staff hacking up the ODM and asking IBM how to fix their mess - on two year old code - without a reboot - in an AIX LPAR) they "think" (relative term) they see linux and just simply go MAD.

How can IBM support any of that?

The HMC is an important box so needs to be treated with respect, as you said it's vital to support an expensive estate.

In the early days, to some extent it still is, HMC users / admin "think" they can do all sorts of "things" on "their" "linux box"...

How could that be supported without making the HMC a black box and simply not letting it happen?

Do you use vio commands on a vio server, or just oem_setup to save time - it'll catch you out sooner or later...

Do you hack the ODM if a command doesn't work the way you want - it'll catch you out sooner or later...

Do it by the book or suffer the consequences.

Just my experience, hope it helps some body or some poor system with an irresponsible admin ;0)

If you have a beef about HMC, AIX, admin rights, Etc. raise a PMR and if IBM say "not supported" they'll give you the process to raise a DCR. If the DCR (design change request) is rejected at least they'll let you know why they think your idea is not possible or plausible.

NAME
DBIx::Class::SQLMaker::OracleJoins - Pre-ANSI Joins-via-Where-Clause Syntax PURPOSE
This module is used with Oracle < 9.0 due to lack of support for standard ANSI join syntax. SYNOPSIS
Not intended for use directly; used as the sql_maker_class for schemas and components. DESCRIPTION
Implements pre-ANSI joins specified in the where clause. Instead of: SELECT x FROM y JOIN z ON y.id = z.id It will write: SELECT x FROM y, z WHERE y.id = z.id It should properly support left joins, and right joins. Full outer joins are not possible due to the fact that Oracle requires the entire query be written to union the results of a left and right join, and by the time this module is called to create the where query and table definition part of the sql query, it's already too late. METHODS
select Overrides DBIx::Class::SQLMaker's select() method, which calls _oracle_joins() to modify the column and table list before calling next::method(). BUGS
Does not support full outer joins (however neither really does DBIC itself) SEE ALSO
