Re: Payback on zIIPs
And the question of potential zIIP savings is rapidly getting complicated because of recent announcements from IBM and CA, notably, about additional workload that will run on the zIIP. (And zAAP for that matter.) I think the most realistic way (if you can do it) is to take a look at RMF reports to see what's eligible in your actual environment. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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

Which concatenated DD a member was found in after a FIND macro.
After issuing a FIND macro (svc 18), I'd like to know which is the dsname (concatenated DD) the macro found the member in. Manual states that FIND macro, after a successful completion causes the system to use the address of the first block of a specified partitioned data set member as the starting point for the next READ macro for the same data set. So I think somewhere in the system there's a control block or whatever that make me able to find out which dsname is the member in. Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards.

Convert HFS to ZFS in z/os 1.7
Hi, We are doing the conversion HFS to ZFS with the utility BPXWH2Z in batch. We create ZFS in mode compatibility. The case that we observed is described as follows: HFS files: HFSACB.TEST and HFSACB.TEST.SEQ ZFS file: UFSACB.TEST Migration parameters: BPXWH2Z -VC HFSACB.TEST UFSACB.TEST Process BPXWH2Z first migrates HFSACB.TEST in UFSACB.TEST and then migrates HFSACB.TEST.SEQ in UFSACB.TEST too. Files with same names are REPLACED in the second migration. This is very dangerous because is possible that the process REPLACE importants files for any aplications, systems, etc. This is the process detail: ISPSTART CMD(BPXWH2Z -VC HFSACB.TEST UFSACB.TEST) -getting ds list for HFSACB.TEST -getting ds info for HFSACB.TEST -getting ds info for HFSACB.TEST.SEQ -getting ds info for UFSACB.TEST -getting ds info for UFSACB.TEST Migrating HFSACB.TEST 12:01:23 copying HFSACB.TEST to UFSACB.TEST Blocks to copy: 10 - cd /tmp/bpxwh2z.T751629.12:01:22.hfs; /bin/pax -rw -peW - XCM . /tmp/bpxwh2z.T7 Migration complete for HFSACB.TEST12:01:24 Migrating HFSACB.TEST.SEQ 12:01:24 copying HFSACB.TEST.SEQ to UFSACB.TEST Blocks to copy: 11 - cd /tmp/bpxwh2z.T751629.12:01:22.hfs; /bin/pax -rw -peW - XCM . /tmp/bpxwh2z.T7 Migration complete for HFSACB.TEST.SEQ12:01:24 T751629.T751629A.JOB04839.D103.? was preallocated (no free was done) Is it the normal process?

How do I build a stand alone z/OS
Hi, Here we had activated 2 LPAR's, need to install the z/OS subsystems. As a first step we are planning to install the z/OS, is there any way i could build a systempac kinda use it for future LPAR's. For example there is no need of the samplib other lib's , etc... in the new LPAR. Also there are other datasets under z17 HLQ which is not required for running the z/OS. Is there a approach/process needs to be followed for this, to identify isolate them, so that only z/OS runtime lib's are copied in to the new LPAR to make z/OS run.

Re: Which concatenated DD a member was found in after a FIND macro.
Massimo, I don't believe that this information is returned when using the FIND macro with a member name. If however, you construct a BLDL list for the member, the data returned will include the TTR of the member, along with a field K which is the concatenation number (0 based). You can then issue the FIND macro with the DE operand pointing at the TTR from the BLDL. Hope this helps, Wayne Driscoll Product Developer JME Software LLC NOTE: All opinions are strictly my own. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MASSIMO BIANCUCCI Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2007 2:38 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Which concatenated DD a member was found in after a FIND macro.

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. I have no requirements, just wanted to evaluate new features. 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 ? Mike, I don't know. First I want to see it and learn a little bit, then I could say something about it.

David In other words you flicked the switch on the surge suppressor into which the plugs for the modem, router and PC are plugged. g If you are having the sort of problem you described, you should have a procedure which is more machine-friendly that the universal re-boot procedure habitually described in fora such as this as the general remedy for all ills with the toy boxes. One I have, which - unless someone can produce a better suggestion - ticks all the boxes, is to ping my name server. If this works, it means the boxes in my office are working, the ISP router is working and the ISP's name server - which may or may not be separate from the router - is working. I then round this off for good measure with calling up the web site of the ISP organisation which I assume won't be too far away from the ISP router.

Is there a way to Remove BOOK from PF6 in SDSF?
I am trying to find a way that is simple and will go from one upgrade to another with little effort. As PF6 is defaulted to BOOK in SDSF, we are a shop that does not have Bookmgr. So I will like to globally replace it with having to create a process to be used for each operating system upgrade. Has anyone done this, if so, what did you do? Thanks much.

Lizette: PF6 isn't BOOK on my system e.g.: PF1 . . . HELP PF2 . . . SPLIT PF3 . . . END PF4 . . . RETURN PF5 . . . IFIND PF6 . . . FIND '- COND CODE' PF7 . . . UP PF8 . . . DOWN PF9 . . . SWAP PF10 . . LEFT PF11 . . RIGHT PF12 . . CURSOR But why not create a REXX exec or a little program that just returns if your users hit PF6.

Re: Date Time in JCL
It can be done, at least I'm doing it on my single LPAR machine. HOW!!!?? 1. Create a script to use unix services date command to build set cards for date and time. Put the set cards into a PDS that will be concatenated in a JES2 PROC DD. Contents of /usr/local/bin/datetime - #!/bin/sh # # script to update the current date and time # echo // SET DATE=`date '+%m%d%y'` /tmp/datetime echo // SET TIME=`date '+%H%M'` /tmp/datetime cp /tmp/datetime //'SYS1.SETVAL.PROCLIB(DATETIME)' rm /tmp/datetime 2. Create a file for loading the crontab to run the datetime script once per minute. Contents of /cronfile - 0-59 * * * * /usr/local/bin/datetime 3. Load /cronfile into crontab - crontab /cronfile This tells cron to run the script will run once per minute, at the top of the minute. 4. Concatenate the PDS containing the DATETIME member in the JES2 PROC DD. //JES2 PROC MEMBER=00 //IEFPROC EXEC PGM=HASJES20, //DPRTY=(15,15),TIME=1440,PERFORM=9 //PROC00 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.PROCLIB BATCH PROCS *** // DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.SETVAL.PROCLIB 5. Start the cron daemon (there are different ways to do this, we use JCL to which gives a consistent jobname in the d a,l displays)' Also remember to configure the cron daemon to start at IPL. The userid that is used to run the cron daemon should have a uid=0. //$PDACRON JOB ($PROD),'$PDACRON',MSGCLASS=X,CLASS=I, // MSGLEVEL=(1,1) //* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //IEFPROC EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,DYNAMNBR=50 //SYSEXEC DD DSN=SYS1.SBPXEXEC,DISP=SHR //SYSTSPRT DD TERM=TS,SYSOUT=X //SYSTSIN DD * oshell /usr/sbin/cron 6.

Running jobs that create the same date/time stamp in less than one minute can result in 'not cat 2' files. (or within the same day with a date stamp only.) 2.

If it is hot installable, can I then just start using it, or does the LPAR defination need to be messed with? John, Haven't hot-installed a Crypto card as our boxes already came with them. But at a minimum, you will need to update the LPAR definitions to setup the Crypto Domains which will require a deactivate/activate of the lpar(s). Also, ICSF on z/OS will require configuring.

Go into SDSF. Type the command KEYS. Change them to whatever you want and save. New keys will be stored in the users ISPF Profile dataset.
