    Abstract: Se proporciona un producto de programa de computadora para realizar: envío, por un subsistema de canal, de un mensaje de solicitud de entrada en el sistema de proceso (PRLI) a la unidad de control que indica si el subsistema de canal soporta transferencia de datos bidireccional; recibir un mensaje de respuesta PRLI de la unidad de control que indica si la unidad de control soporta transferencia de datos bidireccional; recolectar una pluralidad de comandos, al menos unos de los cuales especifica una transferencia de datos de entrada y al menos uno que especifica una transferencia de datos de salida, enviar al menos un mensaje de datos de salida a la unidad de control que incluye datos de salida a transferir a la unidad de control, el mensaje de datos de salida asociado con al menos una de la pluralidad de comandos que especifica una transferencia de datos de salida; y recibir al menos un mensaje de entrada de la unidad de control que incluye datos de entrada para guardar en un almacenamiento principal del sistema de computadora anfitrión.

    Abstract: An outbound frame state machine (OFSM) which generates data frames for transmission over a data link. The outbound frame state machine (OFSM) is microcode controlled and includes an outbound frame header buffer (60) for containing information to be included in the header of the frame, a data buffer (26) for storing data characters to be included in the data frame, a data generator register (98) for providing special sequences of data characters, if required, and an outbound frame trace buffer for storing a trace log of all frames transmitted in the normal mode and to be used if the outbound frame state machine (OFSM) is operating in the simulated I/O mode or the diagnostic mode. In the normal mode of operation, the outbound frame state machine (OFSM) builds a data frame using header information from the frame header buffer, and may include data from the data buffer, all as specified by control bits stored in a control register. The control register may also include a bit for causing special sequences to be transmitted. In the simulation mode, frames are built by the outbound frame state machine (OFSM) and then wrapped back to the channel to be processed like frames from a control unit. In the diagnostic mode, the outbound frame state machine (OFSM) inserts various characters into the outbound data bit stream to create possible error situations on the data link.

    Abstract: A computer program product is provided for performing: sending, by a channel subsystem, a process login (PRLI) request message to the control unit that indicates whether the channel subsystem supports bi-directional data transfer; receiving a PRLI response message from the control unit that indicates whether the control unit supports bi-directional data transfer; gathering a plurality of commands, at least one which specifies an input data transfer and at least one specifying an output data transfer; sending at least one output data message to the control unit including output data to be transferred to the control unit, the output data message associated with the at least one of the plurality of commands specifying an output data transfer; and receiving at least one input message from the control unit including input data to be stored in a main storage of the host computer system.

    Abstract: A method for dynamically enabling and disabling use of XFR_RDY is disclosed herein. In one embodiment of the invention, such a method includes receiving a write command at a target and determining whether XFR_RDY is enabled or disabled for the write command. In the event XFR_RDY is disabled, the method determines whether one or more buffers are available at the target. If at least one buffer is available, the method processes the write command by writing data associated with the write command to the one or more buffers. The method then returns information indicating the number of buffers that are still available at the target after completing the write command. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed and claimed herein.

    Abstract: A data management system has at least one class distinction cue associated with a class of data entities. The class distinction cue comprises data management guidance information and priority information related to the associated class of data entities. For a data entity, at run-time, a data management allocation run-time system references the class distinction cue o r cues prior to conducting data management allocation or access, and, based on the priority information as compared to other priority information related t o the data storage resources, selectively allocates the data storage resources and provides the operations of the storage system in the data management allocation system for the data entity.
