Re: Web access to mainframe datasets
Hi Brian Have you considered J2EE ? I admit I am not too good on the security part. But, here goes. You can install Tomcat on USS and deploy an application that shows a list of files hyperlinked to a file in the deployment folder in Tomcat. This file would be the HTML version and ASCII encoded. For added effect, code a link to stylesheet in the HTML so that data appears in non-proportional font. This is a very simple way of doing what you need. I had a similar requirement and I did it just this way. If you want a more comprehensive solution, then perhaps, you should consider a servlet that uses JZOS jar files to read any mainframe dataset and writes to browser. Regards, Nags.

Re: web IBMLINK down again - so what ?
Hello Radoslaw, And if IBM actually released the full IBM-LINK service to the rest of the world you also would become addicted to it. Although I work in Singapore, through a set of circumstances, I have access to IBMLINK and it does enhance my ability to support the systems I am responsible for. Mostly I use it primarily to validate APARs/PTFs. Usually I access IBMLINK 3-5 times a week. So, for the rest of you, take these comments as saying we (i.e. non-USA sysprogs) would appreciate IBM treating all of us equally. If you give us access to IBMLINK it should be the same IBMLINK as our US-based compatriots use. IBMLINK for all - or NO IBMLINK at all !

Re: PCI Compliance - Encryption of all non-console administrative access.
Tim Wrote: I worked with a credit card processor that was told by its PCI auditors that it must encrypt any sensitive information on disk, including credit card numbers, expiration dates, etc. This is typical and reality. Maybe your country's situation is different, although that might not persist. That is exactly the industry I am currently in, that is until USBANK takes our mainframe away and do the processing in the US. But as I understand it, PCI compliance can be negotiated with the Auditors who then need to build a good case for the company with Master Card / VISA / AMEX. We were able to complete most of the requirements over a 3 year period, but I am convinced that if we stayed online beyond our current end date, we might have been forced to buy some EMC disks and move our customer data behind the middleware.

Hi Brian, There is a GWAPI DLL module called MVSDS that is a part of the HTTP server that may fit your needs. For example, if I point my browser to: http://mainframe/MVSDS/'MY.JCLLIB' It authenticates me and then if I have access shows me a member list where I can click on a member and it shows the contents.

Re: Is there any way that i can practice mainframe related subject without having access to one?
Mohammad 1) EXEC CICS support? The z390 macro processor has built in parser to convert EXEC CICS space delimited commands into standard macro comma delimited calls to EXEC macro which in turn routes macro call to macro for each supported EXEC CICS command such as SEND, RECEIVE, LOAD, LINK, XCTL, GETMAIN, FREEMAIN, PUSH, POP, RETURN. All the EXEC CICS support macros are in z390\cics directory. For more doc info link visit: http://www.automatedsoftwaretools.com/z390/z390_EXEC_CICS_Compatible_A ssembler_Support.htm 2) COBOL compiler support? There is no COBOL support as a part of z390. However the z390 SOA TCP/IP sockets messaging could be used to connect z390 client programs with server programs supporting mainframe COBOL and other languages on the same or different processors on TCP/IP network. 3) VSAM LDS support? I will add LDS option as it is really one of the easier options since all the J2SE NIO file support is linear based to start with. I'm interested in your DB2 comment as the next project after z390 VSAM is to add SQL support for new JDB built into J2SE 6.0 plus other SQL data bases such as DB2, MS-SQL, Oracle, etc. Don Higgins mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://don.higgins.net -- 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

Upgrading the Processor - Keep in Mind
Just a few comments about some ideas I used to move from the z900s to z9BC. I too face a decision to outsource some work and was asked why I wanted to invest in newer technology when one machine potentially was going away in a year or two. There were many reasons except for how does one respond to accumulating excess capacity as things go away. The response was as the workload moves away, then I can dynamically downgrade the machine to less power; ipso-facto reducing software costs. In fact, I proposed to submit the request a year in advance of the move off date for a big workload; thus I could start downgrading ISV software, give procurement a chance to do their thing and when the workload moved off on schedule, then the savings would be immediate. Besides others could already start spending that savings and earmark the money for other efforts. Needless to say, I got the z9BC's, was told to hold off on placing the order for downgrades until it is closer to the time for rehosting, and we will see what happens over the coming months. In the end, reality will always prevail. As I said, I hyped to the financial folks the downgrade capability of the z9BC and all the money it can save. They love it.

DFHSM QUESTION : ORIGINIAL VOLUME VOLSER PRIOR TO ML2 MIGRATION
I am trying to find the name of original volume (volser of the disk) where a
dataset was housed. I did a :
HSEND LIST DSN('PROM.LIB.SRC') both ods('ZWA6WG.ODS.OUTPUT')
Under the FROM VOLUME column it has the volser. However, I have been told by

Re: SOC4 in DFSORT with DB2
Hi George, You might want to check APAR II14047 USE OF DFSORT BY DB2 UTILITIES and make sure you didn't miss anything. We had to add the following libraries to the linklist ( APF auth) SYS1.SICELINK SYS1.SORTLPA (the link list order for sort libraries should be as follows) SYSx.SYNCSORT SYS1.SICELINK SYS1.SORTLPA Make sure you don't have more than one SORT in LPA. The DFSORT LPA library you probably want in link list not LPA if SYNCSORT is your primary sort. Check to make sure the DFSORT SVC you are pointing at is the right one and correctly defined and loaded on these LPARs. If you are a SYNCSORT shop like us and you omit the APF or the DFSORT data sets you might get odd errors. We got DSNU095I DSNUGUTC - UTILITY 'LOAD' INCONSISTENT WITH LAST INVOCATION DSNU016I DSNUGBAC - UTILITY BATCH MEMORY EXECUTION ABENDED, REASON=X'00E40018' Finally once we were running in production I had to do a USERMOD to limit the use of system resources memory above the bar by DFSORT which was only supporting a small part of the sort workload. //SMPPTFIN DD * ++ USERMOD(MSMOPT1) REWORK(2006080) . ++ VER (Z038) FMID (HSM1G00) . ++ SRCUPD (ICEAM1) DISTMOD (AICELIB) DISTLIB (AICESRCE) /* The ICEAM1 member in the AICESRCE library contains the default lines for creating the ICEAM1 module.

Re: some basic questions about Z system, Zlinux....
Hi every one. I am back with another question I studied one flash based tutorial and some other web pages/pdf presentations. I should say that Flash based learning materials are far better place for new learners to start from. As There are several OSs that run on System Z, Which one is the Default OS on IBM mainframe? I mean, Does IBM sell all of them to a customer when it buys a mainframe or customer has the option to select the OS ? Another question is, Z/VM allows us to install several Linux for System Z on it and for example cluster the application server which is installed on it. so we can achieve high availability and handle heavy work load, what about Z/OS ? It has not a virtual machine, so it can run one OS at the same time. My question is, When we have websphere and DB2 as main components of a big system, which OS can be selected for them? I thought that Z/VM could be the choice as it simulate the way that we already deploy application server instances and database, but If Z/VM is correct choice, what is use of Z/OS?

Re: SOC4 in DFSORT with DB2
George, We got an 0C4, and also a U0083 symptom using DFSORT to do reorgs on a tablespace with a lot of indexes. The DBA had set up sortnum to 160 so they would never have to compute sort work space. When they reduced it to 80, things worked fine. The tablespace with the problem was small, but has lots of indexes. Large tablespaces with fewer indexes could be reorged with larger sortnum. There are two new APARs we caused. Look at OA21854 and darn, I can't get to IBMLink to find the other, if it was even assigned yet. In our case, the large number of sortnum caused a condition that exceeded the allowable size of the TIOT. The allocation APAR is to give the user a better symptom than abend0C4 to tell the user what is wrong. The 0C4 is because the slot allocation was trying to free up was for VIO, which does not have a control block they were looking for. The DB2 APAR is to address an issue of why they were asking for an enormous number of sortwork datasets. I'll post that whenever I can find it.

I mean, Does IBM sell all of them to a customer when it buys a mainframe or customer has the option to select the OS ? It's entirely the mainframe owner's choice.

It has not a virtual machine, so it can run one OS at the same time. First of all, just as with Linux, z/OS can also run within z/VM virtual machines. Actually, all 5 operating systems can, including z/VM itself. But bear in mind that each mainframe has first level virtualization called LPARs (logical partitions), managed by something called PR/SM. This is all part of the hardware itself and comes with every system. You can define up to 30 (System z9 BC) or up to 60 (System z9 EC) LPARs without z/VM, and PR/SM can dynamically allocate resources to each LPAR. This is how most mainframe owners run z/OS, in LPARs. So why is it more common to run z/OS in LPARs and Linux in z/VM (with z/VM in the LPAR)? Because z/OS itself has considerable virtualization capabilities. I would recommend studying the z/OS references mentioned earlier to start to get an idea about the many characteristics that make z/OS unique, including z/OS address spaces, WLM, RRS, ARM, UNIX System Services, DVIPA, Parallel Sysplex, GDPS, and much more. My question is, When we have websphere and DB2 as main components of a big system, which OS can be selected for them? WebSphere Application Server is available on the mainframe twice: both for z/OS and for Linux on z. There are versions of DB2 available for z/OS, Linux on z, z/VSE, and z/VM (4 out of the 5 supported operating systems). I thought that Z/VM could be the choice as it simulate the way that we already deploy application server instances and database, but If Z/VM is correct choice, what is use of Z/OS? There is a long list of capabilities z/OS has that Linux does not. For example, z/OS runs CICS and IMS, the world's two most popular transaction processing systems. (The other half of IMS is a very popular and important information management system.) But, in simple terms, here's the comparison: while Linux on System z offers the highest qualities of service of any Linux implementation, z/OS offers the highest qualities of service of any operating system. Qualities of service include characteristics like reliability, availability, security, disaster recovery, performance and scalability, manageability, etc. You can run both of course, and they complement each other very well. - - - - - 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

Re: COBOL Group moves
Rashmi, As the other person said, GRP2 of five bytes would overlay the first five byte of GRP1, the rest of GRP1 is filled with spaces. Unless you are using some unsafe compiler options, then the statement MOVE N2 TO N4 should abend with an S0C7 (Data Decimal Exception) as N2 is not a valid number. However you could do the move using reference modification like this MOVE GRP2 TO GRP1(1:LENGTH OF GRP2). In which case N2 would remain a 0 when the display statement is reached.

Re: SOC4 in DFSORT with DB2
I don't want to circumvent the PMR process but thought I'd offer some a thought based on this information. Double check the storage class that the sortwork datasets are being assigned to and make sure the default unit count is 1. Sortwork datasets cannot be multi-volume so there's no point in having a default greater than one. If the default volume count is something high, like 59, then you're probably going to exceed the TIOT threshold.

The DBA had set up sortnum to 160 so they would never have to compute sort work space. When they reduced it to 80, things worked fine. The tablespace with the problem was small, but has lots of indexes. Large tablespaces with fewer indexes could be reorged with larger sortnum. There are two new APARs we caused. Look at OA21854 and darn, I can't get to IBMLink to find the other, if it was even assigned yet. In our case, the large number of sortnum caused a condition that exceeded the allowable size of the TIOT. The allocation APAR is to give the user a better symptom than abend0C4 to tell the user what is wrong. The 0C4 is because the slot allocation was trying to free up was for VIO, which does not have a control block they were looking for. The DB2 APAR is to address an issue of why they were asking for an enormous number of sortwork datasets. I'll post that whenever I can find it. Asking for sortnum of 80 for most reorgs, though, gave us a welcome bypass. Hope that helps.

Re: Web access to mainframe datasets
John McKown writes: No. IMWEBSRV is not Apache. There is a separate Apache port for z/OS. I don't know if it is distributed with the latest z/OS releases. IMWEBSRV came with z/OS 1.6, but Apache did not. The last that I know of (may be out of date) is that Apache must be downloaded and installed separately from z/OS. What everybody is receiving with z/OS is called the IBM HTTP Server for z/OS, and it is Version 5.3. I think it even shipped with OS/390. So, if you're looking for a lowest common denominator capability, i.e. something everybody should already have, the HTTP Server V5.3 would qualify. This software is not derived from Apache code. There are some (earlier) ports of the Apache HTTP Server, available for download from the Internet as noted previously. IBM doesn't support them, but they're fun. IBM is now shipping the IBM HTTP Server for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, which you will also see referred to as powered by Apache (because it is). The current version is 6.1. This HTTP server is orderable as a PTF for WebSphere Application Server V6.1 for z/OS. Like the rest of WAS, it is fully supported commercial software from IBM. The documentation is available online here (watch the wrap): http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.ihs.doc/info/welcome_ihs.html With all that background out of the way, here's a reply primarily aimed at the original poster. In addition to the suggestions offered previously, there are a couple more ideas to consider. 1. WebSphere Application Server for z/OS is getting increasingly common. CICS Transaction Server runs certain EJBs, just like WebSphere. So one idea you might consider is to ship an EJB package that works under both WAS and CICS TS. 2. Another approach is to write Java and package it to work with both the IBM HTTP Server V5.3 for z/OS (as a CGI program) and WebSphere Application Server for z/OS. The packaging might be a bit different, but the underlying logic should be close to 100% identical. That's another way to offer deployment choices without forking your code. 3. I don't think it's any secret that IBM itself has something called the Integrated Solutions Console (ISC). That's the pretty administrative Web interface you see embedded in products like WebSphere Application Server for z/OS. You might ask through the appropriate IBM developer channels to see if that's a hunk of code you can package with whatever you're shipping and if it would be a good choice in your case. - - - - - 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

Re: IBMLink Using PC/3270
A couple of problems with 3270 IBMLink access. 1 - Most IBMLink users today have IBM ID's with IBMLink access, which as George notes, only uses a userid and a password. Not the account userid password which is required for 3270 IBMLINK. And for many customers with 3270 and WEB access the userid and password are different for 3270 access then web access. 2 - Many companies have a limited number of IBMLink ID's and share the password among the group, as they really don't use it enough to pay for multiple accounts. With WEB access (if/when it works), multiple users can be logged on, with the 3270 access, there is a one user at a time limitation. Ok, I know, from a security perspective, this is a bad idea, but I don't make the decisions (or sign the checks).

Interesting, there is also an article about it in PC World. http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,135331-c,servers/article.html Of course they need to do their research better since it's zIIP and zAAP, not Zip and Zap.

Quebec moves Orcale to z/VM
An article to counterbalance all of those we're moving off of the mainframe stories we see posted here. http://blog.coleo.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/share_session_9230.pdf It's a large working document. For the Business people, go to page 24 and on. z/VM strikes again:-) DJ -- 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: IBMLink Using PC/3270
In a message dated 8/1/2007 12:25:22 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: A couple of problems with 3270 IBMLink access. 1 - Most IBMLink users today have IBM ID's with IBMLink access, which as George notes, only uses a userid and a password. Not the account userid password which is required for 3270 IBMLINK. And for many customers with 3270 and WEB access the userid and password are different for 3270 access then web access. The old legacy way was the userids were based off of the ACCT. So for UOFA we'd have UOFA001 thru UOFA016 or however many the contract stipulated. As the conversion went from IBMLINK(3270) to webbased IBMLINK2000 there was a synch CLIST and to get everything converted over and use same userid and password for either system. I guess if you never had a 3270 ID you'll have to go thru service to get that established. ** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour -- 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
