FW: Virtual tape limits (Was: OEM software electronic download report card)
Radoslaw, You do not have to buy a USP or a USP-V. The NSC55 can do this just fine, and you can buy it without any disk drives. This is an enterprise class rack-mount controller that can run with external storage only. I'm not aware of anyone else providing virtualization for Mainframe, so yes your options are limited to these three virtualization boxes. From what I know of your shop, the NSC55 would probably be a better-size for you. Then again, there are probably other options that are right for you, including staying with tape. I guess there is some choice of vendor - you can get these boxes from HDS, SUN, or HP. (GDR). Note that the USP is now n-1 as of yesterday. The midrange controllers can come from EMC, IBM, SUN, HP, and a few others. You can also use old enterprise boxes as long as they can be fitted with FCP connections. I have a customer in Asia with IBM ESS E20 and F20 virtualised - they use them for development LPARs after migrating production off them into a USP. Yes you have to pay for the virtualisation and VTFM software, just like any other software. You pay for DFSORT so you can sort don't you? You pay for DB2 so you can have a RDBMS don't you? So what is different? (you wouldn't pay for VTFM to replace ML1 or ML2 though). Replacing ML1 with SATA disk would allow you to have more aggressive migration policies, and less aggressive ML2 policies (keep it on ML2 longer) - and I believe you already have some experience with ML2 disk as a further option. I don't agree that virtualised storage doesn't scale. I don't think that virtualization, VTFM and SATA are the answer to everything - I've stated many times in the past that I'm a TMM bigot, and that has not changed. I do like the idea of combining TMM and External storage. I do agree that cost justifying this may be hard in your shop. I recall from previous posts that you manage a lot of storage (disk based ML2 I think) by using n-3 storage with no maintenance or support. These costs are often the drivers to move to new storage - but if you aren't paying maintenance how can there be a saving.

Duplicate CTC addresses
Hi to all. Does anybody know if it is possible to define duplicate ctc addresses to a DR LPAR? I have two processors and can define duplicate LPARs to each of them, so that each CPC has LPARS A to E defined to it. CPC 1 has LPARS A and B running normally on it and CPC 2 has LPARs C D and E. IF I have a problem with CPC 1, I would like to IPL LPARs A and B on CPC2, but without having to change my VTAM definitions to match the new range of CTC addresses. Could I generate the same CTC addresses from C,D,E to A nd B regardless of which CPC the LPAR is running on? Maybe the LPARS A and B could be detached from CPC 2 in the normal gen, but in the event of a problem, would I be able to dynamically detach LPARs A and B from CPC 1 and attach them to CPC2 so that the same CTC addresses would be valid? Assume there is enough memory and processing power to handle all LPARs on any CPC. Otherwise is there any other method of handling this problem? -- 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: DB2 version 8 SPUFI and ISPF
Jim, Spufi will use CCSID 37. If you restore the PTF you are not really gaining anything since the conflict will still exist, with the PTF DB2 is just telling you about it. There is another thing I tried was to put my terminal emulator to a 1140 CCSID (which on our system translated to a blank CCSID) and told spufi to ignore blank CCSID warning (this is CURRENT SPUFI DEFAULTS - PANEL 2).

If you cruise IBM link or DB2-L looking for DSNE345I you will find a different solution, rebind the SPUFI plans using CCSID 37.

Re: Duplicate CTC addresses
-snip-- Hi to all. Does anybody know if it is possible to define duplicate ctc addresses to a DR LPAR? I have two processors and can define duplicate LPARs to each of them, so that each CPC has LPARS A to E defined to it. CPC 1 has LPARS A and B running normally on it and CPC 2 has LPARs C D and E. IF I have a problem with CPC 1, I would like to IPL LPARs A and B on CPC2, but without having to change my VTAM definitions to match the new range of CTC addresses. Could I generate the same CTC addresses from C,D,E to A nd B regardless of which CPC the LPAR is running on? Maybe the LPARS A and B could be detached from CPC 2 in the normal gen, but in the event of a problem, would I be able to dynamically detach LPARs A and B from CPC 1 and attach them to CPC2 so that the same CTC addresses would be valid? Assume there is enough memory and processing power to handle all LPARs on any CPC. Otherwise is there any other method of handling this problem? unsnip- If you'll contact me offlist, I'll try and help you untangle this issue. Dealing with CTC's can be a PITA or it can be fairly easy, depending on needs, equipment and software requirements. I would probably define the complete range of CTC addresses on both CPC's, varying them offline or online as needed when each image is IPL'd. I like to define CTC devices in full strings of 32 devices for each image, then dedicate a string to each image. So Image A would be contected via 1CAx and 1CBx, Image B would be contacted via 1CCx and 1CDx, etc. or you might use only 16 devices, so that Image A would be contacted via 1CAx, Image B would be contacted via 1CBx, etc., using the third character of the address as a image identifier.

Its running RAID 5 or 6. Its got hot spares and does auto rebuilds - some will even do predictive failures. Sounds pretty robust to me. Is it just because the drives -might- fail more often and have to be replaced more often?

How do I find the SPANNED indicator in a VB record?
Folks, quick question (since I'm chasing/trying to recover severe production problems in parallel): how do I find the spanned indicator in a VB record? Background: had a program abend which processes IMS log records. CA support very aptly pointed to a statement in the code where there was a check for spanned records. Suggestion was to bypass the check (quote: IMS log records should never be spanned anyway). Suggestion worked - so thanks CA support! Possible suspect now is a customer exit which probably inserts records having the spanned indicator on. I'd like to verify this and as I'm basically assembler illiterate I'd really appreciate it if anybody could give me a clue where to look for this 'spanned indicator'.

Robert - XMITIP by default sends all outgoing mail to the JES2 spool and then the z/OS SMTP server picks it up and sends it out to its destination. z/OS SMTP can be configured to route all outgoing mail to an in house SMTP server running Sendmail or one of the other mail handling programs which will then further process the e-mail and route it to its destination. You should check with your corporate e-mail support team on this as they should be able to give you guideance on where to send the z/OS SMTP e-mail. The z/OS TCPIP SMTP configuration file is where you'd make those changes. You probably already have your z/OS mail going to an in house server as few companies allow their mainframe to connect directly to the public internet. Good luck Lionel B.

Re: How do I find the SPANNED indicator in a VB record?
IIRC it's in the first byte after the 2 byte length field in the RDW. See below - 00 - complete logical record 01 - first segment of multi segment record 10 - last segment of multi segment record 11 - segment other than the first or last.

Re: E-Mail From the Mainframe Question
You need to specify the address of the server you want all of your mail to go to in the SMTP configuration file. The parameters to set are; 1. IPMAILERADDRESS - Set the address of the server to recieve all SMTP mail here. 2. RESOLVERUSAGE - Set this parameter to NO. This prevents the SMTP server on z/OS from resolving the IP address of the recipient thus causing it to be sent to the server specified in the IPMAILERADDRESS parameter. -- 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: How do I find the SPANNED indicator in a VB record?
Thanks guys, appreciate your superfast replies. As such this thread is closed. I just go on mumbling a bit. The whole story has potential to drive me crazy. While a few hours ago I could reliably reproduce a S0C9 having a certain IMS SLDS (secondary log data set) as input dataset, now that you have all answered my question the symptom evaporated wisteriously. Strange. I still do have all the versions of the load library involved. I still have the S0C9ing JCL in the JES spool (so I can recover the exact JCL), yet whatever I try I get a clean execution. I use the same datasets, even the same concatenation of them although the job had always bombed as soon as the very first input tape was mounted. Thought I wait a bit before saying Thank you as you all gave the thread an interesting twist.

Well, I couldn't make it do that. I set up an input data set with RECFM=VBS,LRECL=60,BLKSIZE=40 and gave it 60 byte records so they would be spanned. I used that data set as SORTIN for a step with: INCLUDE COND=(3,1,BI,NE,X'00') None of the records were included which is what I would expect given that DFSORT assembles the spanned records to unspanned records before the INCLUDE is processed. Then I tried specifying RECFM=V on the SORTIN DD as you suggested. DFSORT treated the input data set as RECFM=VS. With RECFM=VB, I got RECFM=VBS. So trying to fool DFSORT that way doesn't work. I really don't think there's any way to get DFSORT's INCLUDE to look at the SDW directly - it sets up an RDW internally.

But once when I was writing a library routine to process variable [spanned] records as a stream, I ignored the DCB spanned flag (DCBRECSB?

Re: RMM web service web server(s)
Radoslaw, Yes, the book is correct; the web service for DFSMSrmm is shipped as a Enterprise ARchive for deployment under WAS. It requires a Java run-time and the WAS environment to get to the web service. We ship a sample client that makes it real easy to demonstrate... But yes, assumption is you already have a WAS environment. That is all we tested. I would not expect anyone to purchase WAS for the sole purpose of hosting our web service. We understand the requirement for something that would work with a non- WAS environment and know that it is quite straightforward (for those with the knowledge and RAD skills) to use the code we ship and adapt it to create a Web ARchive instead that can be deployed for example under Tomcat. An HTTP server is required, but is not enough to handle web services. Just out of interest, do you have ideas about how/where you would use the web service ?

Re: LRECL of Spanned Records
The LRECL is driven by 4 bytes (first two bytes as nulls) inserted in front of each record to hold the record length as a binary integer.

Re: Top 10 software install gripes
I am not hard set on filling the track for filling sake. I do it because it seems orderly. Certainly a vendor should allocate 'stingy' because they are also not providing the disk space but they should be considerate and use reasonable numbers. We should not be guessing how many more directory blocks they need, nor how much larger the secondary should have been. I'll go back on my earlier post and say 'allocate what you need plus 10%. I read someone up that to 20%. The actual % is dependent on the vendor and the product. They need to do analysis and then provide good numbers. If they already fill 43 directory blocks, then using Tom's method they should have upped to 90, not 45. I could live with that. If they fill 2 directory blocks then I do not want to see 90, 45 is still okay by me.

Re: LRECL of Spanned Records
VBS 32767 SMF data has annoyed me since I first started working with it. JCL LRECL is limited to 32760, LRECL=X I never got to work with my COBOL program.

At the cost of today's disk, why are we fighting over one (or two) tracks? For 15 years I have allocated at least one cylinder for directory space. Never had a STOW problem.
