Re: Moving tape GDG to new volume
Jon Brock [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... We have some tapes written into the wrong range of volume serial numbers. (They are taking up some of our business recovery volumes). The data sets in question are GDG generations. We would like to move these files off of their current volumes into the correct pool while maintaining their generation number. Can we simply uncatalog the old files and copy them to new files with the same generation number? I seem to remember that there is some other catalog work that would have to be done, but I'm not sure. The target volumes are the same device type as the current volumes, so the DEVTYPE should not need to change. Example: Data set DDD.T.DD.G0011V00 needs to move from volume 015000 to volume 00. Would I just uncatalog the file and copy it to 00999 with DISP=(NEW,CATLG,CATLG)? Thanks, Jon If you have CA-1, you can use COPYCAT. This copies the data to the new volume, recatalogs it and it also copies the TMC entry, so your dataset on the new tape will have the same attributes, such as creation date, creating job, expiration date etc., as the original dataset.

another command

The problem was that I forgot/didn't notice the wrong one was cataloged prior to the upgrade. So the two different UADS were out of synch.

Re: Performance tools and JAVA

Only the first; he kept the second L ;-) It's silly to argue over the actual anglicized spelling of Hebrew words. Every winter I see Chanukah, Hannukah, Hanukah, Hanukkah, and maybe others -- all considered acceptable. I've seen schlemeel, schliemiel, schlemiel, schliemazel, schliemozzle, schlemazal, schlemazel, etc. As you point out, the preferred spelling should probably end with MAZAL. Well, since Yiddish doesn't retain the Hebrew pronunciation[1], I'm not sure that I would label mazal as a preferred transliteration from the Yiddish. But dropping the first L is a bit more clear cut ;-) OTOH, once a language has integrated a loan word into itself, the word takes on a life of its own. So I'm not prepared to say how Australian slang borrowed from Yiddish should be pronounced or written in Oz. [1] For that matter, there is no canonical Yiddish pronunciation. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Re: IEFSSNXX
If the subsystem(s) aren't running, about the only overhead would be for the space for the SSCT entries (around 20 bytes, plus a slight amount of CPU time to execute any INIT routines defined for the subsystems, but when weighing this against the management/change control issue, make it, in my opinion, a no-brainer to share one IEFSSNxx across the plex.

SORT FIELDS=COPY,STOPAFT=1 OUTREC FIELDS=(1,4,67,1,5,20,45,22,25,20,68) RECORD TYPE=V,LENGTH=(4096205) For variable-length records, a position without a length can be specified to indicate to the end of the record. For the statement above, the bytes in the input record from position 68 to the end of the record will be included in the output record. So the fixed part of the output record will be 67 bytes and the variable part will be the number of bytes from 68 to the end of the record. Since the variable bytes start at 68, the output record will have the same number of bytes as the input record in this case. p without m is documented in z/OS DFSORT Application Programming Guide under the INREC, OUTREC and OUTFIL statements.

If you want to include the bytes from a specific position to the end of each input record at the end of each reformatted output record, you can specify that starting position (p) as the last item in the BUILD or OUTREC parameter.

Re: SYS1.UADS - when is it read?
And as easy as Dave says (and I can vouch for having done so for several companies) it can be done gradually. I once did a UADS phaseout one department at a time, without the users being inconvenienced or even realizing it was happening. I've also never, repeat never, kept any emergency IDs in the old UADS. tb -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Butts Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2005 8:33 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: SYS1.UADS - when is it read?

Re: SYS1.UADS - when is it read?
All you really need do is to write the UADS dataset to a file, parse the output and create the appropriate RACF commands. Once you visualize the UADS content, reverse engineering them into RACF commands is easy. I've used DF/SORT for this sort of thing, regardless of the ESM present. tb -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick Lyon Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2005 9:38 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: SYS1.UADS - when is it read?

What were RACF profile classes $INT
We were doing some cleanup and ran across some RACF classes, $INT, $INTAPPL, $INTPROJ and $INTTBL. The only comment is something about INFOSESSION. The $INT class has some profiles that look like: PTI.INTEGRATOR.CONFIGURE PTI.INTEGRATOR.HELPDESK PTI.INTEGRATOR.RUNTIME PTI.INTEGRATOR.SYSOPER PTI.INTEGRATOR.WORKBENCH The bad part is that the update has one of my old userid's and says it was done in the late 90's, and I don't remember it yet anyway. I suspect it was something for a trail or a project that was killed off, this is about the time it was decided to convert everything to PeopleSoft on non-mainframe equipment. I think I can delete it, but I'm just a little courious.

Wondering if a utility exists that will take a restored to point of backup TMC, then roll it forward using SMF records that CA1 or MVS recorded. Thanks. IIRC, if you lose the TMC the recovery procedure is to do a RESTORE which will use the Audit file to recreate up to the current level. If the Audit file is lost, then you should backup the TMC at that point and do a restore to rebuild the Audit file. If you lose both, you'll simply have to restore from your last TMC backup and manually recover whatever tape activity occurred since that point.

Re: dynamic LPA
SETPROG EXIT DELETE EXITNAME(IEFACTRT) MODULE(modname) Then add the exit back, which will pick up the new one you put in LPA: SETPROG EXIT ADD EXITNAME(IEFACTRT) MODULE(modname) DSNAME (dataset-where-it-now-lives) I don't think that this will work. The exit name is normally not iefactrt, it is SYS.IEFACTRT and/or SYSSTC.IEFACTRT and/or SYSTSO.IEFACTRT (depending on the definitions in SMFPRMxx) and displayable via D PROG,EXIT. So in order to activate a new module for an exit, you will have to use the correct exit name as defined by SMF. Otherwise the system will tell you for the delete that the exit wasn't found and for the add that it happily defined an exit (that no one uses). If you use the dsname on the setprog exit,add command then you don't need to first get it into LPA, as that LPA module will not be used but instead the one from DSNAME. That works, but for debugging purposes you cannot use the lmod parm on a slip trap (as CSV knows nothing about the module loaded from a dsname).
