As a traveling consultant, my road took me to a massive Vegas Gaming operation, that runs it's shop with AS400/CICS. The legacy-4 rooms size- computer is protected more than fort Knox, and the level of trust that I earned is envious to many of the top leaders of the organization, and beyond.
Yet I see the Legacy system holding back many opportunities for success, compared to what UNIX can deliver. Fear of change + job security + paranoid security + Grey hair + Tough-guy-gambler image, keeps AS400(system i) /CICS running, with problems building up to a staggering level, that Unix can solve in a blink of an eye.
What line of thought you can say, that can be a good argument for Unix vs. AS400?
Anyone running CICS TX in a WPAR ?
In my attempts to run CICS TX 5.1.0.1 in a WPAR..... CICS fails to start due to unable to load a CICS IPC Kernel Extension. The Kernel Extension is 64 bit (so not a 32 vs 64 bit issue).
Base system/LPAR is Power8 and AIX 7.1 TL3 SP5. WPAR is versioned... (4 Replies)

ggz-wrapper(6) GGZ Gaming Zone ggz-wrapper(6)NAME
ggz-wrapper - GGZ Gaming Zone command line core client
SYNOPSIS
ggz-wrapper [--gametype GAMENAME] [--user NAME] [--destnick NAME] [OPTION...]
DESCRIPTION
The GGZ Gaming Zone allows people to play many games online using so-called GGZ core clients which are chat clients with integrated game
launchers.
The ggz-wrapper tool is a small special GGZ core client for the command line. It does not support chat or display of rooms, tables and
players, but instead is useful for fast launching of online games. Therefore, its main purpose is to be invoked from instant messengers
such as gaim or kopete.
It currently supports all two-player games, as human against human or human against bot. If no options are given, ggz-wrapper will invoke a
Tic-Tac-Toe game client on the default GGZ server, live.ggzgamingzone.org, logging in as guest user.
OPTIONS --gametype=GAMENAME
The name of the game to play, e.g. TicTacToe or Chess. This option expects a case-sensitive argument which must match one of the
available game modules in ggz.modules. If the game type is not supported by the specified GGZ server, the invocation will fail.
--user=NAME
The name of the player who is running the client. The default is to run with an automatically generated guest user name. In order to
use a registered name, the option --password is implied.
--destnick=NAME
The name of the other player. If omitted or empty, the player running the client will launch the table (game host). If empty, other
player will be the bot. If not empty, player will join the table which the other player already launched.
--password=PASSWORD
Password to use in case of playing as a registered user. Note that on a multi-user systems, other users might see the password,
which is a security risk.
--server=SERVER
The server to play on. If not specified, the default server is ggz://live.ggzgamingzone.org.
--port=PORT
The port to use to connect to the GGZ server. PORT is almost always 5688, so this option is rarely needed.
