Hi david thanks for response ... do u mean RESTORE DB2 database data Volumes (which were backed up previous end of day) and then logapply and these logs are nothing but archive logs generated after previous end of day.(and not all archive logs generated after last imagecopy ??)

SV: gains with compiled REXX
If most of the runtime of a rexx is executing host commands (TSO commands etc.) then a compilation will benefit only a little. But if the time spending at executing only rexxcode is significant You will gain significant performance gains. For intensive use of rexxcode You can often run the same code 5 times faster compiled. Note that if You is calling an external subroutine from a compiled rexx You better INCLUDE that subroutine in the main loadmodule. Otherwise will the subroutine be loaded from STEPLIB at every call to it.

Re: DB2 Problem Urgent
The parm you want is RECOVER LOGONLY - This is discussed in DB2 administration guide and the utilities manual. The short answer is both DF/DSS, FDR and all the products that do volume backups can easily do volume restores or dataset restores with the one exception of multi-volume datasets - then you need to get the manual out - it is recoverable just not as easy. Next step is DB2 RECOVER tablespace LOGONLY - DB2 keeps track of starting and ending rba's or LRSN's for updates so it will only read the archive logs required. for the recovery. If the archive logs are in HSM or something, it will recall them and apply the log records. If you have a big DB2 subsystem, this can take a long time to read archive logs. Once this completes, you can REBUILD the indexes and use the table. You should take an image copy at this point since you no longer have a normal recovery point.

Re: rexx or other macro processor on z/os?
In a recent note, Shmuel Metz (Seymour J.) said: Date: Wed, 10 May 2006 00:23:16 -0300 JCL tailoring is a nightmare. Only if you didn't create your JCL with File Tailoring in mind. They (not I) didn't. Which is why I regularized it. But my base complaint is with the original and persisting design of JCL, which was created without file tailoring in mind. Yes, file tailoring existed in those days and should have been a consideration, even in the rudimentary form of inserting in or removing from a deck of punched cards one card containing a single option without the need to add or remove a comma from the preceding line. This technique was well enough known to FORTRAN (at least) programmers prior to the invention of JCL: Always put a label on a CONTINUE, not a nontrivial statement, lest you later need to insert another statement before or after that statement. Improvement is still possible: o Provide explicit assertion of default values for all keyword options, such as TYPRUN=NORMAL, or even simply TYPRUN=. o Provide a dummy keyword option (e.g. SKIP=) to use as a placeholder. This would serve the same valuable purpose as FORTRAN's CONTINUE, or a . alone on a line at the end of a list of SMP/E options, or a blank line at the end of a list of IDCAMS options each of which is followed by -. E.g.: //NAME JOB programmer,account, // TYPRUN=HOLD, /* This line may be deleted. */ // SKIP= or, even: //STEP EXEC PGM=IEFBR14, // SKIP= to allow inserting, perhaps, COND=whatever. (But there is an explicit default for COND, viz. COND=(0,GT).) Ideally, such a dummy option should be distinguished by being allowed to appear multiple times on a single statement. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL -- 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: gains with compiled REXX
I wrote an article about this exact subject in the April 2006 edition of Technical Support magazine. Part 2 of the article (appearing in the May 2006 issue) discusses some of the differences between the two main formats of compiled REXX; i.e. CEXEC versus OBJ. The June issue discusses inter-relationships between various compile options. In a nutshell, if REXX is compiled using the IBM REXX/370 compiler, the resulting executable (whether in CEXEC or OBJ format) will run anywhere from 0 to 10 times faster than interpreted REXX. If the REXX is compiled using anything other than the IBM compiler, all bets are off.

Re: DB2 Problem Urgent
Jacky This group is for MVS. I believe there is a DB2 group that would be more helpful. If you want to bring all the databases and DB2 catalog up to the point when it went bad, you do need all the archived logs. The best way to recover DB2 is with image copies and archived logs. Volume copies do not bring DB2 to a consistent point. You may have to do a Conditional Restart. Get your DBAs and DB2 support together. DB2 Administration Guide and DB2 Utility Reference Guide are good references.

Re: Quantifying SME Apply Check Hold Reasons.
Howard, I could imagine some expensive management consultant has suggested getting a tighter hold on the activity of the system administrators. Or he's been reading a book. Either way it cost money so it must be right. Thus everything has to be done by numbers. I'll be interested to read the proper responses you get. From what little I know of the sorts of reasons that a HOLD appears, it could be for quite a variety of reasons. Thus I imagine the honest answer is to pose a question in reverse How long is a piece of string?

Re: Quantifying SME Apply Check Hold Reasons.
Howard, I just received RSU0603 fir z/OS 1.6 into my Global Zone and got the +/- following: No HOLD(ERROR) Loads of HOLD(DOC) these I normally ignore, I just download the latest manuals(PDF) from the IBM site. About 15 HOLD(ACTION) there is no other way than to read thru these and esitmate the time it wil take to action them all. I found that I had to action only about 50% of them because most of the others were applicable only if you move certain modules out of their original positions into more tuned libraries designed to save LPA space... etc. and I am not there yet... So the reading depends on the number of chars / second and the rest of the estimation... on how much customization you have done in the system...

Re: Quantifying SME Apply Check Hold Reasons.
Howard, Not exactly sure how you are selecting which maintenance to apply, but what I would do is take IBM's recommendation of applying maintenance at a level of the current PUT level minus 3 generations, and RSU minus one generation as a good general rule of thumb. You do this by selecting maintenance by SOURCEID, not by function. Then create a list that might include PUT, RSU, HIPER, etc. You get this list by going into option 3.3 in SMPE, and selecting the GLOBAL zone to see what sourceID's are in there. Then do your apply check, bypass ALL hold SYSTEM reasons(for now), and get your list of those PTF's that will not apply due to a hold ERROR. Then do another apply check EXCLUDING all those ptf's. What you get from that is the candidate list of maintenance that will apply to your system. Depending on how far back you are, this could be a few ptf's, or could be hundreds or thousands. Your next step is to go through the remaining HOLD SYSTEM reasons(and it is more than just the hold ACTION's now days), to see what other stuff you might want to choose to exclude due to external requirements(hardware microcode levels, sysplex requirements, etc). If a PTF is in error I generally won't even mess with it on a normal maintenance upgrade. The only time I even look into those is if I'm installing a new FMID, and I need to bypass it just to get the function installed, or at the direction of IBM support to fix another problem. If you are asking about how to quantify research on holds other than ERROR's, well, that just comes with experience. If you get a hold ACTION that says you have to have PTFx installed before this one, go check it out. If it says you need to rebind some DB2 plan afterwards, then do that. Usually hold ACTIONS are pretty straight forward. Then there are other holds like multisys, enh, ipl, etc that depending on your shop's configuration may be applicable or not. For instance, if you only install new maintenance via an IPL to a new cloned sysres, then you can pretty much ignore the HOLD(IPL) items. If you have only a single system, then you can pretty much ignore the multisys hold reason. I hope this helps. I get the feeling like you've been given an assignment that is new to you, and have no one around to be a mentor. That can be frustrating, but over time you will figure it out. Just hang in there.

While a swap was in progress allocation would hang; I presume that this has been fixed sometime in the last quarter century, but I haven't paid much attention. Swap also monopolized the tape controller during repositioning, so if you had other tape drives hung off the same controller they would stop during DDR.

Re: DDR Swap - Yes or No? Unconditional?
This Write - I/O - error most likely resulted from a dirty red/write head on the tape drive. On my system with rather finicky 3590 - drives, usually a SWAP will be successful and that will allow the process to finish. Our operators usually handle the swap correctly. IMHO, you should instruct your operators to reply YES and make a note of the tape VOLSER. If the same VOLSER comes up for another swap on the new drive, reply NO, as this very well might be a physically bad tape cartridge. If you don't have operators, or if they don't respond in a timely fashion, you might want to consider turning off the SWAP function (put a SWAP OFF command into PARMLIB member IEACMDxx or COMMNDxx or enter it as a console command). That'll blow the tape right out of the drive, without operator intervention and without loss of time. Regards, Ulrich Krueger Mainframe Systems Services National Semiconductor Corp.

Re: HMC : Dynamic I/O
Easy enough. Just flip the switch, turn off 'load on activate', and POR. Then activate your LPARS one at a time in priority order. When you run out of main, then that activation will fail. Reduce the allocation for that LPAR to fit. The risk is that you will run out of main before you run out of LPAR's and you will have to deactivate and reduce several LPARs. If you do not 'load on activate', then you can back out before you IPL. Dynamic changes are oh so handy but oh so expensive. Well worth it IMHO but YMMV.

Re: VSAM Extent Consolidation
I think it's actually non-VSAM, and it's because a lot of applications using EXCP or lower would break. Such programs normally issue an EOV to cause allocation of a new extent for an output data set. I suspect most apps would then expect to find a new extent in the extent list (not more space allocated within the last existing extent). I think what IBM could do is to add an option to either OPEN or EOV so the application could say I can handle Extent Consolidation. Then it could be done without the risk of breaking a program that currently works.

Re: SMPLTS
I think you're going the wrong direction here. SMPLTS is a single data set, not a concatenation of data sets like the SYSLIB concatenation used during assembly for macros. If you have a particular error, it cannot be solved by concatenating data sets to SMPLTS. You might want to post what the actual problem is - maybe someone else has seen that problem before.

Well, you're right. It's history and the firm IBM commitment - well, almost firm - never to allow anything that worked in the last release not work in this release. And it's not that long a history either - something a little over 10 years. First there was TCP/IP for VM which did everything by allocating, typically - maybe exclusively - sequential data sets dynamically - because that's the way CMS is. Perhaps I should say before the beginning was an idea that an RFC which suggested that local name files should have the peculiar format you've been using for the source should be used instead of the more simple layout favoured by UNIX systems.Then TCP/IP for VM was ported to TCP/IP for MVS. This sort-of accounts for the 4, 5 and 6 options, one of which - and we've got to work out which one - you've been using . Then the Unix System Services stuff got added to z/OS and its ancestors, the resolver got to become a separate address space and the local host table got to use the UNIX-like format. I expect if I tried really hard I could come up with a justification for all the other options based on all these enhancements. Unfortunately I haven't been following TCP/IP for MVS - morphing into Communications Server IP - closely for most of the last 10 years so I can't say from where the inspiration for all of these accretions arose. Perhaps somebody still reading feel sufficiently inspired so to do. Checking the manual later, I discovered that another complicating influence is whether the IP address is V4 or might also be V6.
