Re: zAAP for zip ?
Miklos, You can call Java methods from a C++ program on z/OS. The way you would go about doing that is to use JNI (Java Native Interface). JNI allows Java programs to call native code (e.g. C++ methods), and vice versa. It looks like you'll want the C++ program invoking a Java method (the vice versa). IBM has a redbook (http://www.redbooks.ibm.com) which delves into this topic at least a bit. Here's the direct link: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247291.html One of the examples provided is Enterprise (OO) COBOL invoking Java, and that should give you enough information to get going since it's quite similar. (I did a little searching but didn't find a good C++ invoking Java example.) I think we'd all be interested to learn your results, by the way.

Re: Virtual tape limits (Was: OEM software electronic download report card)
Radoslaw, That's true enough, and the MIPS would have to be factored in to the equation. But I would have to ask how much tape activity is happening during the MIPS peak that currently drives your CPU capacity? Is there enough tape activity for the compression MIPS to bring your next upgrade forward? The majority of tape activity is usually backup and archive. It is not my experience to see a large number of tape backups running during the batch or online peak, and DFHSM archive activity is almost always scheduled during the CPU valleys. I rarely find tape jobs in the batch critical path, which makes them a workload that can run in service classes with relatively low importance. I implemented DFSMS compression for DASD in the past, and it did not have a huge impact on MIPS. I hear this is also the case for many IAM users, as well as some of the ISV compression products. I expect VTFM would be similar to these products. Yes, compression will use some extra CPU time, but the cost is measured in how it affects your upgrades.

Re: DB2 version 8 SPUFI and ISPF
There is no ccsid specified in DSNZPARM, and in our case the ccsid is correctly set to 1146 in DSNHDECP. The DSNE345I message is specifically warning about the discrepancy in the ccsid of the terminal versus the ccsid of SPUFI. The hold data of the ptf say Ensure that the user's TSO terminal configuration is updated to use a CCSID of spufi-ccsid. and in our case our terminal emulator is also using ccsid 1146.

Re: syhchronize tape gdgS
This (full volume backup/restore) certainly works for tape GDGs. The issue you are left with, if you do not move all your volumes, are the orphaned entries in the catalog for your other datasets. Generating DELETE NOSCRATCH cards and submitting them to IDCAMS can be a very painfully slow process. Several products on the market, of which T-REX is one, can SCRUB the catalogs and synchronize them with the DASD farm quickly. Another option would be to backup your catalog and 'scrub' the entries as they are loaded back into the catalog. By never restoring the entries on the reload, you never have to scrub them.

Re: Virtual Tape Stacking Software
Lizette, VDR (Virtual Data Recovery) is much more then a just a tape stacker. Automating the stacking of VTL data to hi-density tape using a different dataset name prevents any impact on production tape processes. The recovery side of VDR allows you to recover/unstack the stacked datasets to another VTL, native tapes or disk. You can also have VDR do an INPlace recovery, which renames the VDR datasets to the original dataset name, no data movement, and allows applications to access the data directly from the stacked tape. Of course, the ICF and Tape management catalogs are updated. By the way, if you are writing HSM ML2 to Virtual VDR can also copy those and recover them at the DR site and automatically update HSM about the new tape VOLSER.

Re: Another migration from the mainframe
Chris, I agree with your observations. However, my comments were directed specifically at the NYSE/SIAC situation. Did 9/11 not teach them anything? One would hope that the SEC, OCC, etc. have imposed upon them some form of regulatory guidance as it relates to HA and business continuity. If that is a valid assumption, then it can't be as valid a business case as they are presenting. Bob Richards -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Craddock, Chris Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2007 12:05 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Another migration from the mainframe And Bob Richards asked I wonder if they will reveal the costs of extra hw/sw for high- availability and business continuance associated with this migration. Probably not. Well that's a fine question. Here's what I think, based on just a little bit of experience :0) with z customers... There are a small number of customers at the high end for whom the System z and parallel sysplex is the only alternative. Those are the customers who spend the time and effort to configure coupling facilities, data sharing and all of the other dozens of failure avoidance/failure mitigation features of the platform. Those (high-end) customers are NOT migrating away from the platform, but even they are being very judicious about new work that goes on the box(es). It has become a pure cost containment exercise for most - see my last paragraph below. The rest of the customers, by-and-large, have not bought into the parallel sysplex story and they still run their systems like its 1985. The only reasonable conclusion you can draw is that their availability requirements really aren't all that demanding. In effect, they don't think its worth spending the extra money and resources to get true high availability and disaster survivability. Now we could all argue over whether that's really wise, but the fact remains that those customers have made a business judgement. And those are the same customers who are, little by little, deserting the platform. For customers with less demanding requirements, there are plenty of alternatives and the fact that so many have switched and NOT gone back ought to be sobering to this community. On a slightly off-topic note, there is a large body of evidence that MOST of the IT budget (75-85%!!) is consumed in just keeping the lights on. There is almost nothing left over for either new development, or for exploitation of feature function, even if that would ultimately save money. That has become the dominant issue for most customers and probably drives the behaviors we are all seeing.

We had a similar problem using CCSID 1140 (US plus euro). If you cruise IBM link or DB2-L looking for DSNE345I you will find a different solution, rebind the SPUFI plans using CCSID 37.

If you do not wish to do that solution, I believe there is a VTAM option of the VBUILD macro that will let you set the code page for your 1146 CCSID. The exact parm escapes me at this time.

In 10 days (two weeks) we would teach this sequence of courses: * Introduction to z/OS UNIX * You and z/OS and The World Wide Web * Introduction to CGIs on z/OS * one of our language-specific CGI writing courses (COBOL, PL/I, Assembler, or REXX) What the students will learn: + How to run under the z/OS UNIX shell (omvs) + The UNIX HFS file system + Environment variables: what they are, how to use + 50+ UNIX commands + Copying files between HFS and classic MVS formats + oedit, obrowse, and ishell + How to access HFS files from non-UNIX apps + ISPF 3.17, the UNIX Directory List utitlity (z/OS 1.8+) + Basic flow of data on the Web + Building a web site on z/OS UNIX + HTML and XHTML - extensive, standards based + X/HTML style: attributes, elements, style sheets + CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) + Client side maps + Embedding multimedia + JavaScript - solid, practical introduction + DOM - the Document Object Model - solid, practical intro. + Forms and controls + Frames and Framesets + Creating and using cookies + Writing and using CGI programs (COBOL, PL/I, Assembler, or REXX) which is enough to create an interesting web site, running under z/OS, which can serve static pages as well as dynamically build and serve web pages using CGI technology. Note also that many of these skills are transferable to other UNIX and Web-related environments. One time price: * In the continental US: $22,000 * Outside the US:$25,000 Price is _all inclusive_: * Tuitions for up to 16 students * Instructor travel and living Student materials: * We ship you pdf files, you do the printing * AND you get to keep the pdf files for the print masters! (over 1200 pages of content) (but no instructor notes nor lecture versions) Option: two sets of sessions (total four weeks) * Two offerings run in parallel (morning afternoon) * Train twice as many people for less than twice the price * All students can work half days and be in class half days * Price: $40,000 anywhere in the world Here's a chance to give the technology a trial run at a very reasonable price and low investment of time. z/OS: not just for batch, CICS, and IMS any more. What's missing? Well, to get all the details, bells, and whistles, students would normally take a much fuller curriculum; for the FastPath we have chosen the central courses that students can use to build on, copying and modifying code to meet their needs. The fuller curriculum provides deeper and wider coverage of the underlying skills. Any FastPath student who feels they need more in-depth information can always go back to specific courses in the full curriculum as needed. The standard, full curriculum would be something like this: * Using LE Services in z/OS - 3 days * Language specific updates (Enterprise COBOL, HLASM 1.5, etc.) (2-4 days, depending on language) * Secrets of Inter-Language Communication in z/OS (w/ DLLs) - 3.5 days * Introduction to z/OS UNIX - 3 days * Shell script programming in z/OS UNIX - 3 days * You and z/OS and the World Wide Web - 5 days * Developing Applications for z/O UNIX - 3 days * Introduction to CGIs in z/OS - 1 day * Language-specific CGI courses - 1 day each Kind regards, -Steve Comstock The Trainer's Friend, Inc. 303-393-8716 http://www.trainersfriend.com z/OS Application development made easier * Our classes include + How things work + Programming examples with realistic applications + Starter / skeleton code + Complete working programs + Useful utilities and subroutines + Tips and techniques -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET

Re: VTOC FULL
Bob, I think your answer is to offload all datasets to tape, clip/init the pack with a bigger VTOC and then reload everything back down. If it is SMS managed, then you would QUINEW the pack, allow it to drain and then do the clip/init and put it back in the storage group. Or make a new volumes with the size you need and use DFDSS to migrate the data set (including recataloging the data sets) to the new volumes. Then clip/init with a bigger VTOC. I am not aware of a vendor product that could do that on the fly. However, if they could it would rely on the tracks next to the vtoc being empty (ie. no data sets on them.) Lizette Hi All.

Re: Another migration from the mainframe
I was ajust about to say, I had seen the computer room heat used to heat the building, but I couldn't remember the site. Thanks Bill From: Bob Shannon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Another migration from the mainframe Date: Tue, 15 May 2007 13:12:44 -0400 The idea of exchanging server heat for building heat is interesting though. We did this at Aetna twenty five years ago. The heating system didn't come on until the outside temperature reached 32 F. Until then all the heat for the data center came from the processors.
