Am I the only one who still uses BookManager/Read on VM?
The index file (HCSH2A90 BKINDEX) for the z/VM V5R3.0 Bookshelf has a
broken title.
Today I used the IBM Softcopy Librarian to download the z/VM 5.3.0
BookManager manuals from the Internet. When I run the Bookmanager/Read fo
r
VM command:
BOOKMGR * (SHELF
I see:
"*" Bookshelves
Shelf Name Description
...
HCSH2A90 /u/wooster/data/cmvc.d/CT_dummy.d/shelfinde
when I should see:
HCSH2A90 z/VM V5R3.0 Bookshelf
or soemething similar.
The same problem happened for the OSA/SF, EREP, and ICKDSF bookshelves in
the last BookManager distribution. I reported this on IBMLink, but the ne
w
versions are still broken. All of the following now have gibberish titles
:
HCSH2A90 BKINDEX
IOA2BK72 BKINDEX
IFC5BK05 BKINDEX
ICK41917 BKINDEX
The last time, I rebuilt the three broken BKINDEX files from the BKSHELF
files, using the INDEX EXEC that comes with BookManager/Read. I was able
to rebuild three of them this time, but I cannot rebuild HCSH2A90 BKINDEX
.
I get:
EIJIND920S EIJBOOK error 40 processing Index.
EIJIND920S
EIJBOOK error returncode processing command.
Explanation: A critical error was generated by EIJBOOK when it tried t
o
perform the specified command. For example, if you do not have enough
memory available the Index utility displays a return code of 38. If yo
u
do not have sufficient disk space the Index utility return code of 40 i
s
displayed.
Perhaps I ran out of A-disk space? I created a 3338 cylinder A disk, but
still got the message. I tried 16M, 128M, and 2047M virtaul machine sizes
wiht the same results.
Does anyone have any idea how where I can get or create a correct HCSH2A9
0
BKINDEX? I can opearte with only the BKSHELF file, and no BKINDEX, but
then searching the bookshelf is horribly slow.
I'm not sure what product I should open an incident to on IBMLink. My las
t
attempt cost me a lot of time with no solution provided.
