Open Sourcing ASM, PL/I and C Code
Greetings. I want to share some PL/I and Assembler code through Open Source, and wonder where the best place might be to do this. And, of course, any changes to the code need to be made available for all. I have the following: 1. An entire interpretive language that can be used as a shell on MVS, Z/OS, Dos, Windows and OS/2 machines (Linux to come). There are 4 main versions: a) PL/I using DR/PLI. b) 370 ASM code using the MVS Assembler c) C, using Borland C, but also GCC can be used. d) Pascal, using Borland Pascal. It can also generate MVS JCL, and be used as an entire JCL replacement, using a scripting language. It was used by AMOCO, Shell Corporation and other similar sized companies for decades to run their mainframes. You can write COPY data.set1 to data.set2. To copy an entire PDS, you simply add the word PDS to the above statement. Thus COPY pds1 to pds2 PDS; will invoke IEBCOPY to do the copy. It has a data base containing information about data sets, and so you need never code SPACE or RECFM details again. And to print a file, simply code PRINT data.set.tobe.printed. There is also a Job Scheduling package with it and so you can write statements like: SUBMIT JOB1; SUBMIT JOB2; If Day='MONDAY' then do; display 'Running Monday Update'; SUBMIT MonUPDT AFTER JOB1 JOB2 ENDED; end; There is a lot more, including an easy way to write Panels with Menu Bars and Popups on 3270's and Windows machines. You can find information at http://www.ozemail.com.au/~oscarptyltd 2. An entire Indexing Package for indexing manuals. It is slightly different from most indexing packages. 3. Screen handling code that is useful for data input. Various version exist, and the C version can be used on 3270's or on Windows using the same code. 4. A 370 Asm to Intel Pentium converter and debugger. 5. Other pieces of software that can be found at: http://www.ozemail.com.au/~oscarptyltd My preference would be for IBM to maintain the JCL replacement language so that companies would have a secure feeling, but this seems impossible to do until Share or some similar size company can convince IBM that it is a good idea. In the meantime, I hope that people will be able to make good use of it, or even some of the code within. I would imagine that the Assembler code would be placed in the CBT tapes, and the C, Pascal and PL/I in Source Forge. And I also imagine that the IBM Open Source contract or the Apache contract could be used. Does anyone have thoughts on this? Many thanks, Clem Clarke ─ ,-._|\ Clement V.

Re: PDSEs in LNKLST at IPL can't be deleted
Isn't there still some code in the system that uses the original DEB? No No (IBM-owned) system code uses CVTLINK or its DCB/DEB directly. When the system sees CVTLINK it translates CVTLINK into ASSBDLCB - DLCBDCB@ . Code stll running with the IPL-time LNKLST will of course access the original DEB when using the DLCBDCB@ path. . After a LNKLST UPDATE JOB(*) to a new LNKLST there won't be any such code (aside from the unpredictably dangerous window conditions). There could still be vendor or customer code that traverses the DCB/DEB path from CVTLINK. It is for this reason that we commit never to free the DCB/DEB of the IPL-time LNKLST.

Re: Overhead of SMF Records
In a message dated 4/25/2006 8:02:22 A.M. Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Who knows how much collection costs? There are three components of collection that cause overhead directly attributable to SMF, but most of which is not measurable: (1) creation of data elements that are not functionally required for the proper functioning of the software component involved and are maintained only to be dumped into the SMF record; (2) gathering of all the data elements and building the record; (3) requesting the SMF writing service (used to be only via an SVC, now there is also branch entry or maybe PC). Once you are inside the writing service, the test is made as to whether or not that particular record type is to be written (true originally for all record types; now I am not sure if some can be turned off earlier in the process). IBM has some undocumented monitor call instructions inside the I/O first level interrupt handler for instrumentation purposes. Maybe they also have some way to measure the overhead of building an SMF record. And maybe they can report on it some day if they do. There is no way we can find out. The only part of the overhead we can measure is that belonging to the SMF writing service in the SMF address space, and that's a small part of the total.

VDR will make copies of tape files (in our case, in our VTS) and stack intelligently on 3592 carts up to the % used that you want. DBS creates DFDSS or FDR jobs which also try to stack disk volume backups onto 3592 carts (up to the percent used that you specify). At disaster, you recover from the DFDSS/FDR backup tapes, created by the jobs created by DBS. DBS has a post-dump process whereby it creates the restore JCL for you as well. The restore JCL has the GV00 of the tape as well as the volser and file sequence number. So you're not dependant on your z/OS catalog for restoration. But you do need to dump the volume upon which the JCL resides after the post-process is done. We do this by making sure that the volume upon which the JCL resides is always the last file on the last tape in the DBS dump process. We then redump the volume using a zero-gen and overwriting the previous contents. This works so long as the dump file remains the last file on the tape. VDR can be used by keeping its tapes (remember they are just copies, not originals) off-site. At D.R., VDR can recatalog the copy of the datasets to be on its volumes (while updating CA-1 and/or RMM's tape catalog). It can also be used to load the tape data into a VTS at D.R. (we do this), and recataloguing the datasets onto the new VTS volumes (again updating the CA-1 or RMM tape catalog). Another possibility is DFHSM and the TMM (Tape Mount Management) philosophy wherein you redirect tape datasets onto a select storage group, then aggressively manage the volumes in that storage group (via the management class on the TMM datasets). DFHSM will also intelligently use the 3592 cart (although it isn't really stacking as I think of it). You will need to use DFHSM duplexing for an off-site copy. A third possibility is to use CA-VTAPE. This product implements a virtual tape system where the data is kept on z/OS dasd (as opposed to non z/OS DASD with a normal VTS type system). This product will use 3590 and 3592 devices for backstore. It can also duplex its backstore tapes so that one set is kept off-site. When you go to a disaster test (or real disaster), the duplex backstore tapes are used to retrieve the virtual tape volumes. In my opinion, this solution has two drawbacks: (1) it uses z/OS DASD, which is generally more expensive that Open System DASD on a per megabyte and (2) it uses z/OS CPU cycles. However, the duplexed backstore is a nice plus. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.

Re: Adding LPARs without POR
I agree with Mark, but I think you are referring to reserved lpars - I thing you have to do a POR at least once to define them. I tried to make a couple of ours that we no longer used reserved but it meant taking all the channel definitions away which seemed like a lot of work only to have to put them back later so I didn't. Left the old definitions with minimal memory and don't activate them. Did I read somewhere that z/os 1.7 or perhaps one of the new boxes support adding LPAR's without a POR?

Re: SMPE Apply Question.
Howard, OK, so you have all your maintenance. Good, make sure it is all received. Now, go to IBMLINK, and pull the PSP bucket( term for a document that lists required maintenance) for that device type. In it, it will have a list of all the required PTF's for that hardware. Take that list, and build your SMPE apply(check) with that list. Set it for GROUPEXTEND(YES), this should pick up the missing sysmods(assuming they were ordered) and see what happens. The PSP bucket is the 'bible' so to speak for anything related to that device. Regarding service for all your software, you can run a SMPE maintenance utility that will create a binary file of all your products/maintenance, and upload that to the ShopZseries site. Once done, then you can order all maintenance for all products based on your current environment. -or- Take the scatter gun effect, and apply all the maintenance you received and hope that you have ordered everything you needed.

Re: WebSphere Developer vs. ISPF
McKown, John wrote: Is there some document which does a compare and contrast between WebSphere Developer and ISPF? Is is possible to totally replace ISPF with WebSphere Developer? I mean for programmers. I realize that there are ISPF applications which are not accessable via WebSphere Developer at this time (such as a CA-1 interface, CA-7 interface, perhaps others). Can WebSphere Developer, or an add-on or ??, be positioned as an eventual replacement for ISPF entirely? Just curious. John, Well, I don't know of such a document, but having completed an introductory course in the product (at the request of IBM) I'm reasonably aware of how the product shapes up against ISPF. First, it is not a total replacement - in a sense. That is, there are things you cannot do using the WD/z main interface, such as run ISPF dialogs. That being said, the product does include a TN3270 emulator, so you can connect to ISPF in one pane of all the windows available under the WD/z image. You can actually be logged on to two sessions then (one is a true TSO/ISPF session, the other is an APPC session). Second, you can do many things you do under ISPF under WD/z and some things you can actually do better (I like having multiple windows open on a single file, for example). Although you can get compilers for COBOL and PL/I for the workstation (re-vamps of the Visual Age products, I'm sure), the WD/z people don't promote using the product just for that purpose. In fact, all my early work was focused on using the product to do the standard ISPF type work I normally do: so I would edit on the workstation but compile and test on the mainframe. Third, it is a great tool for developing applications looking to the newer directions, since it is built on Eclipse and RAD, you can do UML, Java, EJB, Web Services, and so on, all from this single interface. So I think of it as a tool to complement and ultimately replace ISPF and as one that provides a single platform for classic development and Web / Internet development.

Re: Overhead of SMF Records
IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU wrote on 04/25/2006 09:24:37 AM: IBM has some undocumented monitor call instructions inside the I/O first level interrupt handler for instrumentation purposes. Maybe they also have some way to measure the overhead of building an SMF record. And maybe they can report on it some day if they do. There is no way we can find out. The only part of the overhead we can measure is that belonging to the SMF writing service in the SMF address space, and that's a small part of the total. The undocumented montitor call instructions (generated by the COUNT macro, and in many places besides the I/O FLIH) are for the purpose of determining the frequency of some events. They do not assist in determining duration or CPU consumption. IBM does not, to my knowledge, have any way to measure the cost of building SMF records. Some components/products may check to see whether a particular record type is being recorded before incurring the cost to build it.

I would assign all the IFLs to a single LPAR running z/VM. Again, most cases I envision would likely have a fair number of Linux images running due to the one function, one image that seems to be in vogue with even Linux people.

Let's assume the VB input records look like this: RDW|Data 29 |Frank; Yaeger; abc; 2006. 37 |Radoslaw; Skorupka; cdefgh; 2006. 32 |Martin; Packer; ijklm; 2005. We can use the following DFSORT job to extract the delimited fields into fixed parsed fields, sort on them in the correct order, and remove them. //S1EXEC PGM=ICEMAN //SYSOUTDD SYSOUT=* //SORTIN DD DSN=... input file (VB) //SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file (VB) //SYSINDD* * Extract first from position 5 to before ; into %00 (16 bytes). * Extract last from after ; to before next ; into %01 (16 bytes). INREC PARSE=(%00=(ENDBEFR=C';',FIXLEN=16), %01=(ENDBEFR=C';',FIXLEN=16)), * Build temp. record as: * |RDW|%01|%00|data| BUILD=(1,4,5:%01,21:%00,37:5) * Sort on %01 and %00. SORT FIELDS=(5,32,CH,A) * Remove %01 and %00. OUTREC BUILD=(1,4,37) /* SORTOUT will have the following VB records: RDW|Data 32 |Martin; Packer; ijklm; 2005. 37 |Radoslaw; Skorupka; cdefgh; 2006. 29 |Frank; Yaeger; abc; 2006. Note that you can also use Symbols for %00 and %01 to show what they represent. For example: //S2EXEC PGM=ICEMAN //SYSOUTDD SYSOUT=* //SYMNAMES DD * * Parsed fields First,%00 Last,%01 * Original record RDW,1,4 Data,* * Temp record Tmp_RDW,1,4 Tmp_Last,*,16,CH Tmp_First,*,16,CH Tmp_Data,* /* //SORTIN DD DSN=... input file (VB) //SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file (VB) //SYSINDD* * Extract first from position 5 to before ; into First (16 bytes). * Extract last from after ; to before next ; into Last (16 bytes).

Re: Overhead of SMF Records
For what it's worth, and I'm sure this can start a great debate, I allow the SMF processes to take what they need to get in, finish what they need to, and get out. I have seen customer sites move SMF out of SYSTEM, and have MANx Dumps run at lower importance. I generally recommend giving it all the Buffers, Storage, Horsepower needed to get done quickly. You will have a much bigger headache if you are missing any data. That is one path you will want to avoid, if at all possible. Now, if there are records that you don't process or do anything with, I would recommend turning those off. Example, do you do anything with the Temporary Data Set records? On the backend of the process, look at your Record Retention processes. Not all SMF records need to be kept forever (or even more than, say, 90 days). Your mileage will vary. And remember that there are some that need to be kept forever (that is, at least 10 years). Think AUDIT (that feared term). -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: Adding LPARs without POR
Ted, How do you work that out? $125K is what an IFL costs. I wasn't referring to the purchase cost, I meant how do you calulate that 4 images isn't worth $125,000 USD for an IFL. i.e when does it become worth it? Surely the number of Linux images is irrelevant, the only real purpose of an IFL is to reduce SW costs when you have other LPARS with z/OS etc... No. There is more than that. LINUX on any z-box still is 'free'. The IFL just gives a better choice. But not when there's z/OS on the same box- which is what we're talking about. Unless you get an IFL you pay the z/OS software costs, my point being that the only real incentive for an IFL is to save IBM and ISV costs when your running z/OS on the same box. I accept that on a crippled z800 your IFL runs at full speed, but the main driver is still about reducing software costs, especially on the bigger z machines. I still dont understand in what way you mean an IFL is a better choice, apart from cost..its just an engine with a different pricing stucture, both in purchase cost and SW costs (i.e none) I don't think you can drive the IFL very high with just that few. Are you sure? That implies that a singe Linux LPAR cannot max out an IFL. It doesn't max out an RS6000, so why would it max out an IFL. In the *NIX world a machine running at 20% is running hot. So at what level does a single Linux LPAR max out? It's not just the OS that causes the 'low' utilisation, the HW architecture plays a big part. The whole purpose of the zVM/IFL/LINUX configuration is to add these up in one/two CP configs so they MAX them out. I disagree the main purpose of zVM is to provide easier management config - such as disks and netork. Are you saying that using z/VM with say 4 Linux images would perform better than 4 LPARS? Windows/*NIX do not run well at high (15%) usage. z/VM and z/OS do!

Re: ISFPARMS conversion to using SDSF server
By default the server is assumed to be named 'SDSF'. You can use a different name or run multiple SDSF servers--each with its own name, of course--to access different JES2 MASs. From the SDSF manual for 1.7: 3.3 Accessing the server When the user accesses SDSF, the SDSF client attempts to connect to the SDSF server. The server that the client connects to is known as the local server. The following determine which server the client connects to, in this order: The SERVER parameter of the SDSF command used to invoke SDSF (described below) The SERVER keyword on the ISFPMAC macro of ISFPARMS. The default server as defined by the CONNECT statement in ISFPARMS. See CONNECT statement in topic 2.10.3. If none of those names the server to be used, the client attempts to connect to server SDSF. The user can request a specific server by adding a SERVER parameter to the SDSF command that invokes SDSF. The format of the server parameter is SERVER(server-name). For example, you might enter SDSF SERVER(SDSFT) from the TSO READY prompt or S.SERVER(SDSFT) from the ISPF command line. When you use the SERVER parameter with the SDSF command, you cannot add any other SDSF commands. To use the SERVER parameter you must have READ access to the ISFCMD.OPT.SERVER SAF resource in the SDSF class. (The SERVER parameter can be protected only through SAF, not ISFPARMS.)

Re: enterprise tape system 3590
Franco, Sam did a wonderful job giving you the different post-creation stacking options (gotten to be a real crowded field) and also the different virtual-tape solutions (always a very good method to fully utilize the high capacity cartridges). You never mentioned the tape management system you use, and what software you are using to manage your robot. Most IBM ATL's (3494 and 3584) are managed with SMS (OAM) since it is given free to manage, but some sites use BTLS (extra cost option from IBM). If you are using CA-1 or CA-Dynam/TLMS as your tape management system and BTLS to manage your IBM ATL, then there is also an option called real time stacking that allows files to be stacked as they are created (the file-seq is automatically changed). This would prevent you from having to post-copy tape files. However, this option will NOT work with an SMS managed 3494/3584 robot. However, I do know of one client that ran for about 2 years using an IBM 3494/ATL with CA-1/CopyCat and did stacking on a daily basis. He would use about 1/2 the scratch tapes inside the 3494 during the daily processing; and then late at night (after all the backups were finished) they would run a large CA-1/CopyCat operation to stack that days processing onto 1 or 2 fully utilized cartridges. Then, on a weekly basis they would consolidate those cartridges even further. It wasn't a pretty operation, but it allowed them to process for 2 years before upgrading to a 3494/VTS (which by that time was almost thrown in for free as part of the maintenance package for the 3494 itself). If you are interested, I will see if that client would be willing to share his experience.
