Re: JES 40 and 52 exits
Thanks for steering me in the right direction. :-) -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Brian Westerman Sent: Saturday, October 01, 2011 1:46 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: JES 40 and 52 exits Hi Mike, Exit 52 (and the corresponding exit 2) are for modifications to the JOB statement, not the JCL, so that's not the place to add your two cards (unless they are to be added to the JOB card). The proper place to change JCL and add cards within the JCL stream itself (under JES) is in exits 4 and 54 (the exits can be combined to one set of code for both exits, but that wasn't your question, and it's not a requirement, just a nice thing to do. Exit 4 is for scanning JCL and JES2 control statements for jobs submitted through card readers, RJE, SNA and BSC NJE, and SPOOL reload. For jobs submitted through internal readers or TCP/IP NJE, exit 54 is called to process JCL and JES2 control statements (JECL). Each time the exit (4 or 54) is called, it's for a complete card of the JCL (or JECL). The thing to keep in mind is that if you have (for example) a DD card that is two lines long: //OUTPUT DD DSN=MIKES.DAT.SET,UNIT=SYSDA, // VOL=SER=12345,SPACE=(CYL,(1,1)),DISP=(NEW,CATLG) the exit will be called twice to process that DD (because it's two lines long) ,but the buffer will be the same on both calls, luckily you are told that you are doing that and which one you're on at the time, so it makes it simple to add your data, jsut make sure you remember the hint. The JES2 INIT exits manual is really complete on how to add cards in Exit 4 and 54, you will want to use the RJCB (RGETRJCB service, although you can also use the XPL instead, it's up to you) to add the cards. It's VERY clear on how to do it Module HASX04A in SYS1.SHASSAMP contains a sample of Exit 4. Modules HASX54A, HASX54B, and HASX54C in SYS1.SHASSAMP contains a samples of Exit 54. The exit 4 code above is pretty scarce, but the exit 54 samples are a lot more detailed. I have an exit 4/54 sample that changes job priority, and adds a continuation and EXPDT=99000 card to tape jobs that forget to specify it, but you can probably get much better samples from the JES2-L group. Exit40 is the proper place to change SYSOUT, but if it's part of the JCL itself, then you can also put the change into exit 4/54. I believe you can also get samples for these exits at the SHARE site.

JES2 IP printers Multiple destinations
Hello all, I was asked a question and I couldn't find the answer to it in the PSF/JES2 manuals. We are a z/OS V1.11 shop. We have several IP printers that Jes2 prints to. Someone here wants the Jes2 output sent to two separate printers at the same time. In other words 1 jobs output sent to 2 different printers. I don't think it's possible, but what do I know. Has anyone ever done anything like this?

He seems to have forgotten that is what he said he would do. Please note none of the other vendors seem to do the same thing he has done. They announce their product and usually there is little or no announcements. The new features that he added which may/may not make his product better, I don't know and do not care. I don't know why he added STARTIO support and to advertise it seems to me a who cares. Only a systems person would care frankly. Yes this list is inhabited by systems people but trying to sell (or give away or whatever) to systems people is probably ill advised (IMO). While it *might* be nice that the product be known to systems people the people who make the final decision tend not to be our types. We may influence them but sign a contract usually not (I have a story about that but will do it offline if desired). Ed ps: I am *NOT* refering to any IBM product here. All the product people who give their time to the list are greatly appreciated. They support their products very well. DFSORT (Frank) might say this feature will be available in release xx (this is an example) and he does it well. The person in question seems to raise his voice until you have no other choice than to listen. Frank Yeager (sp?) does his job (IMO) superbly. Frankly (no pun intended) he does it the best. Other IBMers talk about their product in a non agressive mode which is perfect for the list. Its informative without being intrusive. We learn from it and that is what the list is for (IMO) to learn not to be yelled at about some new feature. COMPUWARE doesn't do it CA doesn't do it, CBTTAPE you hear small one or two line announcements. Likewise other vendors (except for one).

There are many posts here that have the usual 'how to' questions. From what I've known of Shai, he is extremely intelligent, very jovial and IMO, is merely trying to let others know of his updates (fixes) and asking for feedback. I doubt that (though he might hope for) he's actually trying to persuade and or force anyone into trying his product. He's merely excited about his accomplishment. In a manner of speaking, almost like somebody saying .. heyy .. I wrote this program to do a, b and c but it's only doing a and b. My resources and abilities to further test (and or rectify) this issue are limited so, could someone please have a go at it. We have a set number of groups that fall under an umbrella, e.g. MVS (or z/OS or whatever), VM, VSE, Linux .. but everything else (e.g. products and or sub systems) that run under a given OS falls into the group that is owned by the OS. Besides, how many posts (especially in the recent years) have we run across that merely state ... I did this and got an 0C4 .. help. or, I have been asked to do this or that but I don't have a clue ... help. In all honesty, from some of the ones that I've seen, it was very evident that the poster had not bothered to do any diagnosis or research into the problem before asking for help from our group. Perhaps Shai should have his own group but I'd think that would be for a later point in time. Of course, I do fully concur that this has to be a group decision. To me, this group is about support, advice, direction and even, assistance. In all fairness, I'd say, give the bloke some support. Lastly, it's very easy to misunderstand and or, take offence with email communiqué. It's just the nature of the vehicle.

Since we don't mirror our page and spool we do a cold start on JES and we don't have a copy of syslog. We are a z/os V1.11 shop. Has anyone done this type of DR before? If yes what are doing about the syslog? We stand to lose a days worth of syslog information. Any comments, etc... welcome.

Re: Enclave help
Sometimes these enclaves get hung up doing a process that takes a long time. They seem to hold resources that start affecting the other users to the point that they can no longer work.

You cannot buy 5% CPU more, or 35%, or 41%. You can buy CP, not half of it. Situation is much better for smaller machines - mix of n-WAY + subcapacity levels gives you really good granularity. However neither MSU, nor MIPS should be used for capacity planning beacuse YMMV (IBM words). So, rough estimations are quite OK here, especially that your business growth estimates are also rough and are not proportional to CPU consumtion. Not to mention unplanned, small enhancements... A very good point. I would restate in terms of MSUs since that's what we are billed on. We currently run a z9BC Q02. Which is rated at 46 MSUs. So that's generally 23MSUs per CP. So if we need only 10 more MSUs, we must go to a Q03 (assuming it were possible). But that would result in a machine with 69 MSUs whereas we only want 56 MSUs. Luckily, we can get the 56 MSUs billing we want by using Group Capacity. I would say that if it were not for MSU based billing, everybody would be happy with just getting a new CP and having the excess just sitting around. In this case, the upgrade cost would only be the cost of a CP. But with tiered software costs, adding a new CP has financial considerations beyond the cost to acquire and maintain the CP. Especially if you have software which does not support sub-capacity billing. I hate tiered pricing. It is the main ammunition being used to eliminate the z. Not the reason, the reason is the the PHBs just don't want to be bothered with a multiplatform environment. It is more difficult for them to manage and they must learn how to manage something other than Windows. God forbid they should need to learn something new. Or do something other than what the Microsoft rep tells them to do. Hum, reminds me of the glory days of the past when IBM ruled and management obeyed. The more things change.

When I allocate a fresh PKDS, CSF on LparA comes up just fine. However, CSF on LparB sometimes fails with the above message. The FM seems to say that the PKDS is not completely initialized until the first key is stowed. Not sure how to do that. I'm thinking a PMR. But a user error is usually more likely. Right now my workaround is to point each LPAR to its own PKDS. Of course, I'm a bit nervous as I don't want to accidently break CSF. That would be equivalent to a full outage.

(I used to complain endlessly about it when I was working on AIX and grew to more of a grudging acceptance because it was one of the few things I could count on when moving in between the various UNIX flavors) but it is nice to know the basics. I am encouraged that even vi made the list for 1.13. I have to agree that additional movement in Unix System Services shell would be a good thing. Although, I think I see the writing clearly when it comes to zOSMF. I think that zOSMF will become the defacto delivery for all new interactions with z/OS. It is just way too much of a no-brainer. Not that I see them dropping TSO/ISPF because having a fairly simple way to interact with z/OS is always going to be a requirement. Rob I'd prefer that they replace their vi clone with the FOSS vim.

I wouldn't say that makes it much better or really any better. What I think makes IEFU29 better is that it is free and doesn't rely on automation software running (even if the automation software was free). For example, some of my sandbox LPARs don't have any automation running. One thing automation can do that IEFU29 can't is dump full MANx data sets at IPL time that may have switched as you were shutting down.In our production LPARs, this is taken care of when the SMFDUMP program runs each night since it does a switch and dumps all MANx data sets that are full. In my sandbox LPARs, I use SMFDUMP at IPL time only, but it shares the same proc as my normal SMFDUMP started via IEFU29.

Norman Hollander writes: Specialty Engines don't exist for performance reasons. They exist to defer General Purpose Engine upgrades which WILL increase software licensing charges. First of all, general purpose engine upgrades don't increase software licensing charges unless you're talking about software licenses tied to machine capacity (i.e. full capacity licensing). You can add as many CPs as you want, but what you pay for sub-capacity licensed software depends on whether you use the CP capacity or not (and on a sustained basis, i.e. peak four hour rolling average). I'm not trying to be pedantic. It's a very important distinction. What about 3rd party software. Every time we increase MSU/MIPS we get nailed from third party vendors. I can't wait to see what IBM is announcing that insinuates that we won't need third part vendors anymore. Moreover, if you're also upgrading models, that could lower your software charges. And software licensing charges better not be the sole criterion for your business's success or failure, otherwise you're really in trouble. (Some businesses are!) Software you license is software you don't have to write yourself (or software that would otherwise be unwritten or un-run). And spending more on such software is often the best idea in the world, because it means (for example) you've eliminated a paper-based process that's costing your business an incredible fortune every month, not to mention lost marketshare. Software is great stuff, and I buy and use a lot of it because it helps me get my job done better. And every computer would be an expensive doorstop without good software. Anyway, with all that out of the way, in the engineering sense I suppose you could argue that specialty engines do not provide performance, as long as you're also willing to argue that additional CPs don't provide performance either. However, in the real world, I think they do: or at least price-performance. That's because you've implicitly assumed equal response time service delivery pre- and post-specialty engine installation. To the end user, at least, the specialty engine provides performance because their response times improve as they get more CPU resource for their particular workloads, post-speciality engine. I've heard people argue that speciality engines are not accelerators, so don't use that word. Well, OK, in the pure engineering sense maybe they have a point. But how about the end user's point of view? She gets better response time because her workload has less contention and more capacity available. Her work is accelerated. So if end users (among others) want to use words like performance and accelerator to describe speciality engines, why not? It works for me, and I'm not going to be so pedantic about that.

Hello all, We have z/os V1.7. I have a question. We have generated a certificate for Exchange 2010 using RACF (a process that we have used in the past and works) when they try to install the certificate they receive: The certificate status could not be determined because the revocation check failed. We believe that this is an exchange 2010 problem because the same process works for exchange 2007. Now the windows admins are asking us where we get our CRL's from. I think that CRL stands for Certificate revocation list. I'm at a loss as to what to tell them. Can someone tell me where I can locate the CRL for the z/os mainframe? == This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which they are addressed.

Enclaves hung up
Hello, all. I have a problem that we are working on and it seems to no avail. We have a distributed application that uses DB/2 on the MF and DB/2 connect to get to the mainframe. We are on z/os V1.7 currently migrating to V1.11 with DB/2 at V7 with no plan to migrate because of the application on the distributed side. (My assumption)There is a situation where a user does some kind query or DB/2 access that causes them to lock a resource on the MF side, this then causes all the other users to halt on the MF. The users then get impatient and close the browser and reopen it again to start another session. The enclave that the user was using when they clicked the browser closed is still running. Eventually there are hundreds of enclaves and the CPU has soared to 100%. Then we get called and now we are trying to handle a snowball that has grown very large. All in all we stabilize the system, but in our comedy caper routine we didn't have the time to figure out what really caused the problem. Have any of you ever had this problem? If so what was done to correct it? Do any of you have any suggestions that we could follow that may help us figure out what the problem really is?
