Your suggestion about making sure to show the target of a task on each panel for the task is very timely.

Re: About dispatching process
Dave, I also noticed that my previous understanding about 'preemptibility' was not correct. Maybe the first question should be: Will every interrupt handler finally invoke dispatcher? Enlighten by your input, my current understanding for preemptibility is as follows: After an interrupt, it's possible that the interrupted dispatch unit will not be immediately redispatched. And if its time slice has not expired, we call this 'pre-empt'. On 10/29/07, Dave Barry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: However, if my program is also running disabled for external interrupts and it uses CPU cycles heavily , how will the system 'pre-empt' my TCB? Or it cannot and just let my TCB starve other users? I cannot figure out. Correct me if I'm wrong, but selective disablement is different than preemptibility. An interrupt handler will normally return control to the dispatcher, which may reorder its queue and dispatch a task other than the one which was interrupted. However, that is not true if the task is non-preemptible. I.e., it will be immediately redispatched -- Best Regards, Johnny Luo -- 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: Healthcheck (IBMCSV,CSV_APF_EXISTS)
Something that no one has even mentioned is why a migrated APF-list data set is considered an exception. It is for possible function-loss and system security/integrity reasons. The problem case is when the system recalls a migrated data set. The questions to be concerned with are: If the data set was APF-authorized, will it still be? If the data set was not APF-authorized, will it still be? I believe that there are scenarios where the answer to both of the questions are no. The first would likely result in a loss of functionality, the second is a security problem. Both are things that should concern customers. These cases are why HSM chooses in general not to allow you to migrate APF authorized data sets. And that is why having a migrated APF authorized data set is an exposure. And that is why the Healthcheck flags them. Could HSM allow you to migrate an SMS-managed data set with an APF entry that indicates SMS without security concerns? HSM doesn't, but could, because whichever volume gets used for the HRECALL would still result in the data set being APF-authorized. Unless there is a requirement to allow this migration, I don't see this changing. It has not appeared to be a problem for the many years that this functionality has been in place. Should HSM allow you to migrate an SMS-managed data set with an APF entry that indicates the specific volume where the data set currently lives? HSM does (when you have a dynamic APF list). It probably should not. I am checking to see if HSM will consider changing that behavior. Should HSM allow you to migrate a non-SMS-managed data set with an APF entry for the specific volume? HSM does not. And that is correct. Should HSM allow you to migrate a non-SMS managed data set with an APF entry for SMS? HSM does not (at least that's what a test shows). This makes some sense, We know that, in a multi-system environment with shared data sets, mismatched APF lists can let the data set be migrated from one system where it is not APF authorized. Given the problem cases, the simple fact of mismatched APF lists is quite possibly a customer environmental problem. But I do not see the system attempting to solve that problem for you (as it is only a problem for data sets that are shared between the mismatched systems and that could be cumbersome to detect). Seeing a migrated APF-authorized data set can be a clue that you have such a situation, and can be a clue that you might have a problem. One thing to add: When a data set is migrated, you cannot readily (if at all) determine if it is SMS-managed or not. Thus, any behavioral differences that you might want a check to have between SMS-managed and not-SMS-managed are not feasible. They would require the data set to be recalled just to tell what needs to be done, and we would not want the check to recall your data sets (even if it could be done quickly, which it probably cannot be). So given this, do you still want an option that says do not flag this as an exception? If that is what customers want, then I don't mind, but it should be based on sound, complete reasoning.

Root cause identified and solved. I had in fact assembled and linked the exit correctly into user.lpalib. USER.LPALIB is #1 in the LPALSTXX concatenation. LPALSTXX (actually LPALSTDB) is being selected at IPL time. SYS1.LPALIB is in fact referenced about 2/3's of the way down in the LPALSTXX member. BUT, at least on z/OS 1.5, a copy of SYS1.LPALIB is always, and under the covers, prepended to the LPALST so that it gets selected first even if its included in the list. Been that way forever (since LPALSTxx existed). As a result, the dummy IEEU29 was being used. It, of course, does nothing, and does it quietly. The way you get USER.LPALIB first is to specify it in SYSLIB LPALIB in your PROGxx member. Then you must explicitly include SYS1.LPALIB in your LPALSTxx member (I always put it first there). So, I renamed the bogus IEEU29 to IEEU29BG (for bogus), reipled and away go my SMF datasets.

CICS Wiki news.
Hello everybody,
On the CICS Wiki this past week:
- The news feed is finally working - try it at
http://cicswiki.org/cicswiki1/index.php?title=NewsFeedfeed=rss .
You need a news reader to take full advantage of the feature. (I am trying
to tune down the verbosity of the news feed)
- A few history related pages have been added. On the Category tree -
select History, expand it and check them out.
- Online training is now available on CICS Wiki. Check out
http://cicswiki.org/cicswiki1/index.php?title=Boot_Camp. I will add more
advanced training tracks this week. Members - you too can have a home page
on the Wiki - just follow the instructions in the Boot camp section.
- I have simplified the ribbon of approval award token. If you want to
award somebody's work - include this template in the article:
{{CICS_Wiki:Award}}.
- Earl Haigh gets this week's award for a great home page and for creating
the Vendor Category. Earl also added a good example of how a vendor page
could look. Check it out at
http://cicswiki.org/cicswiki1/index.php?title=BatchCICS-Connect_-_24x7_Integration.
Vendors - don't lose out on this opportunity to get free publication of
your products.
- I added a few more extensions - the News feed being one and
IncludeArticle is another. For information on IncludeArticle go to
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:IncludeArticle .
- This week there was a very good thread on the CICS list about the setup
of Consoles terminal definitions in CICS. Can I get a volunteer (not
Roland or Earl) that is willing to create an article for us?
- I am very encouraged by the number of members on the Wiki but not so
much on the number of articles that I see the members create. Remember a
Wiki is almost fool proof (hey - it tolerates me :-) ). If you mess up -
we can restore from previous versions or delete a page and try again. If
you are stuck and wonder how you would do something specific - read the
help section or contact me.
- I am very encouraged by the number of IBMers (is that a word?) that have
joined the list. Please feel free to contribute in anyway you can.
Have a great week everybody!
Regards.
Corneel.

Peter, SMS is not a prereq for HSM migration. At PH Mining, I had all of our HSM managed data set up non SMS. The DFHSM Guide and Reference manuals have all the information you need in the DFSMS bookshelf. There is a command to put in the ARCCMDxx member that creates pools of volumes. I believe you put that pool into each volume definition, and then there is a command later that lists all of the volumes in that pool.

Boxed Devices
Hello All... I am new to the group.

They were removed many months ago. How can I correct these devices to allow activation of the new IODF? I have configured the 2 CHPs for these devices offline from a console as well as the HMC.

z/OS 1.9 Features summary
This past month and a half, I've been updating all the courses I'm responsible for to reflect changes brought about by z/OS 1.9 in each course's subject area. Since most folks don't get a chance to explore the new features, thought I'd list the features introduced in 1.9 that I think might be of interest to applications programmers. If you are not an application programmer, you might pass this on: some of these are very nice to know about. On the other hand, even if you are not an application programmer, some of these might be nice to know about. The usefulness of any particular feature will vary from person to person, of course; I figure if you see something that looks helpful to you that you can check the docs (or, of course, schedule a class!)

Run MFNetDisk MVS utility which will copy directly the mirror from PC to standard 3390 (IBM, EMC) disk and you have the recoverable 3390 in standard 3390. ...and really you have more options but I mention only two..

Complete article available via http://www-306.ibm.com/software/htp/cics/enews/ Our sincere apologies to all users who experienced problems with IBMLINK/ServiceLink Web tool recently. A number of planned actions will deliver improved availability of the IBM Web tools you use. The ServiceLink VM systems in the US will remain available pending stability of the IBMLINK/ServiceLink web platform. We believe that restoring access to the VM IBMLINK/ServiceLink platform was the best way of providing a stable alternative and we thank those of you who took that step. The disruption on 30 and 31 July for around 3 hours on both days was due to an information technology infrastructure problem with the IBM Web Authentication system. This is used by over 150 web applications and currently houses over 5 million registered users worldwide. The problem was rectified at the end of the day on 31 July. The ServiceLink outage on 1 August lasted around 5 hours and was due to two unique problems: The first was due to an incorrect IBM Web Authentication system setting. The second was due to an error in the Domain Name Server which caused IBM Web Authentication and other applications such as IBMLINK/ServiceLink Web platform requests to fail in the IBM Network. IBM has an architectural enhancement planned for IBM Web Authentication service redundancy. A major deliverable related to this should be completed by 4Q 2007. Prior to then, all system changes related to IBM Web Authentication are being suspended to maximize stability. Many thanks for you patience as IBM stabilizes IBMLINK/ServiceLink and we look forward to continuing to provide the quality of service you have come to expect.

Re: Healthcheck (IBMCSV,CSV_APF_EXISTS)
I made a mistake in my previous append.

S66D-40 abend running ISFACR z/OS R7
This was originally posted in the RACF-L list. I'm receiving an S66D-40 abend running Step2 of the ISFACR SDSF conversion utility in batch. The resolution appears to be to direct the variable storage above the line by changing the TSO/E PROFILE setting to PROFILE VARSTORAGE(HIGH). The problem is this profile setting was introduced in z/OS R8 and I'm still at R7. Do I have any options for z/OS R7? Thanks.

Re: Determine owner of a dataspace
I believe only the undocumented DSPLIST service might help. SHOWzOS, MXI and D A, use it Roland LOCASCB will translate an address space STOKEN to an ASCB address. Is there anything that will get the PASN owning a dataspace? I presume that LOCASCB RC=8 indicates that the STOKEN describes a dataspace. -- 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

Moving HSM Migrated Data Sets to New System
I'm in the process of moving a z/OS 1.6 environment to a z/OS 1.8 enviornment. Due to configuration issues (long story, but ie, I don't have tape drives on the source system) I cannot simply dump volumes to tape and move them. In the end, not really a problem- I'm moving datasets by dumping them with DFDSS to a data set, FTPing the data set to the new system, and restoring. Not the fasted way to go, but it's working. But now, my major concern is moving all our HSM migrated data sets- both those on ML1 DASD, and those on ML2 tape. Now the ML2 tapes are going to be physical sent where the new enviornment is so data can be recalled off of them. The issue/question I have is: how can I move the catalog entries for all the migrated data sets? The entries will be scatttered across several user catalogs, which won't actually be moved. (Although I guess I could move/copy them if needed.) Now I did notice in some previous posts (although a few years old) that ABARS could possibly do this for me. The post mentioned that it would backup/restore migrated data sets without actually recalling/remigrating them. Is that true? If so, that would work for me. Thanks in advance for any responses.

Re: About dispatching process
In [EMAIL PROTECTED], on 10/23/2007 at 09:02 PM, Johnny Luo [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: My starting point is when the TCB is selected by dispatcher to execute. The dispatcher might select something other than a TCB. It's obvious that my TCB can hardly have the chance to occupy CPU exclusively until it terminates because there're many other dispatch units who need to be served too. The question is how that happens. As the result of an interrupt. I know execution of my program will usually generate interrupts, for example, I/O interrupt or page-fault. But will the system solely depend on that? No, there might be an I/O interrupt for someone else's I/O, and there might be an external interrupt. In an extreme case, my program will not lead to any interrupt and will it eat all CPU cycles? No. However, if my program is also running disabled for external interrupts It can't unless it's authorized. Before you write an authorized program you need to understand enough about the system to not cause problems. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Re: About dispatching process
In [EMAIL PROTECTED], on 10/25/2007 at 08:19 PM, Johnny Luo [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: This leads me to reconsider my understanding about the process of getting a spin lock. I used to think what SETLOCK does is just keeping on check the lockword and running disabled. Then, what is the difference between a spin loop and a disabled loop? A spin loop is a loop while attempting to acquire a spin lock. A disabled loop is a loop while running disabled. I have another question about RB queue/chain. You have the direction reversed. RCBRBP points to the first (most recent) RB on the chain. Here is a RB chain after a new RB is added: TCB -- RB1 -- RB2 -- RB3 Try (where RB3 is the newest): TCB -- RB3 -- RB2 -- RB1 Then this TCB is dispatched and the RB pointed by TCBRBP will be executed. Which one? The newest. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz, SysProg and JOAT ISO position; see http://patriot.net/~shmuel/resume/brief.html We don't care. We don't have to care, we're Congress.

Re: Moving HSM Migrated Data Sets to New System
Doug, ABARS can help you in this case. You would run the ABACKUP command using the PROCESSONLY(MIGRATIONLEVEL2). You could also process ML1 as well; there is a separate PROCESSONLY(MIGRATIONLEVEL1). If you were to specify the MOVE parm , it would also delete the migrated entries from the source system (use with caution) On the receiving system, run the ARECOVER with the MIGRATEDDATA option. ML1 means recover all migrated data to ML1; the manual says this is the default. Specifying ML2 will recover to ML2 and MIGRATEDDATA (SOURCELEVEL) means to recover back to the original migration level. Your selection dataset would need to look something like INCLUDE(**) and then exclude any datasets if needed. All datasets (sms and non-sms) must be cataloged in order for ABARS to process them, but since these are migrated datasets this is not an issue. Chapter 3.3 of the DFSMShsm Storage Administration Guide discusses ABARS in detail. I do not think there is a compatibilty problem regarding the different z/OS DFSMS levels that you are running, but it might be worth checking into that. Hope this helps. -- 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
