Re: performance of db2 7 on mainframe
The functions mentioned (SQLTables SQLColumns) can be VERY expensive as they each can return millions of rows. In addition, as Mr Giltner suggested, the Mainframe is a shared resource supporting many users and many applications. A common mistake made by users of poor Linux machines is they use issolation level RR (Repeatable Read). Most of the time issolation level CS (Cursor Stability) or UR is the prefered choice. Your application may not only be causing delays for your self but for 1000's of other users as well. As you are reading through the catalog you areobtaining and holding locks (due to RR) There may be a delay in obtaining the lock and other people may be delayed to you holding it. Five important coding tips 1) Avoid RR 2) Always commit or terminate at the end of each UOW even if you know you are inquiry only. 3) Check SQL return codes, consider any negative value is a problem even if you don't know what it means. 4) Reduce traffic across the communications link by using stored procedures. 5) Existance checks are expensive if not found is unexpected deal with it from the return code rather than via an extra request. DB2 z/OS V7.1 goes out of service the end of June 2008. Tell your mainframe people they need to upgrade. Try the DB2-L listserv for more DB2 / SQL support. In the mean time put in an order for an extra hard drive for your poor Linux machine so, if needed, you can run the bank on it. Best Wishes Avram Friedman -Original Message- From: John S.

The application is working, but it is much slower than when I run against a DB2 7.1 on a poor Linux machine(using the same amount of data in the tables used by the application). I made some trace and I found the most noticeable difference is in the time of the SQLExecute.

This mainframe also has a long time in execution of SQLTables and SQLColumns (almost 15 sec both), so that I've already fixed my application to check for table existency and for information on the columns, using a dummy select and SQLDescribeCol.

Re: performance of db2 7 on mainframe
Luca, In addition to John's excellent questions, another question to ask is what WLM (Workload Manager) goal you've got set. If you tell z/OS Workload Manager that the DB2 user (you) should get a response within X.XXX seconds if possible, then WLM is going to try to meet or beat that goal consistently. That is not the same thing as servicing your request first with nothing else running on the system. If you tell WLM that 2 seconds is good enough, when you get 1.98 seconds you're getting what you told the system. The ability to do this, to instruct a server to deliver predictable performance across subsystems according to a service level agreement (SLA) goal, is probably unique to z/OS. It's a very useful business-oriented feature. And now you know what to ask. :-) Note that, if your application were also running on z/OS, it too would be embraced by WLM and managed according to the goal(s) you set. So, for example, if the application is at risk of taking too long to respond to a user, z/OS Workload Manager will try to allocate more system resources (such as CPU) to get that application to finish within the goal, if possible. That includes everything involved in fulfilling the request: z/OS TCP/IP, z/OS disk I/O, z/OS DB2 activity, and so on. Pretty cool, isn't it? I should also advise you that ODBC is the type of processing that can benefit from the zIIP (a specialty mainframe processor). I would recommend that the people you work with seriously investigate upgrading to DB2 8 (or better yet 9) and adding a zIIP, especially if there is current or planned non-trivial ODBC use. You are accessing DB2 via DRDA when you use ODBC, and much of the DRDA work can run on the zIIP instead of on the main processors. The zIIP could speed up your ODBC/JDBC access, or lower your DB2 CPU needs, or both. - - - - - 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: Data Center Theft
I am in complete agreement with the last couple paragraphs of this article. If you get hit, you get hit. You take your lumps, evaluate what went wrong, change security and procedures. You communicate this to your clients, and maybe you lose some, maybe you don't. You _absolutely_ do NOT lie to your customers, and put them in the positions that CI Host placed theirs in for days. That is inexcusable, and anyone that would continue to do business with the company after behavior like that needs their head examined! Original Message Subject: Data Center Theft From: Ed Gould [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, November 20, 2007 1:09 am To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Colocation providers reflect on robbery at CI Host By Bridget Botelho, News Writer 08 Nov 2007 | SearchDataCenter.com Chicago-based CI Host is a legitimate company, providing more than 250,000 consumers and small and medium-sized business in 190 countries with managed Web hosting, dedicated server and colocation services. So how is it possible that the facility has been robbed four times in the past two years? According to reports, CI Host's night manager was attacked last week by intruders and assaulted with a Taser and blunt object. The perpetrators then stole at least 20 servers belonging to CI Host and its customers. This event took place despite the company's Web site pledge to customers of its Family Colocation service: Your machine will be housed inside a secured shared colocation area. I told CI Host I was coming to pick up my servers. That's when I found out my servers were stolen. Nick Krapf, president, BloodServers.com According to a published report, CI Host chief corporate counsel James Eckels hinted that the robbery might have been an inside job, saying, The thieves were likely familiar with the building layout, the company's operations and the technology involved. Statistics from Migration Solutions, a data center consultancy, suggest that the possibility is quite likely. Migration Solutions estimates that acts of theft, fraud and vandalism in the data center are three times more likely to be the result of an inside job than to be the work of an outsider. And about 65% of data center security breaches and other incidents are driven by malicious intent rather than economic gain, executed by disgruntled current or ex-employees, according to Migration Solutions. Several angry CI Host customers have discussed the possibility of filing a lawsuit against the colocation provider for its negligence and failure to communicate the theft until days after it happened. Nick Krapf, president of the gaming network site BloodServers.com, said the incident in Chicago cost him $15,000 in servers and a damaging hit to his customer base, which didn't have service for at least three days. But the worst part was the company's failure to communicate, he said. At first, we were told the servers went down due to a power issue. ... I told CI Host I was coming to pick up my servers. That's when I found out my servers were stolen. Security lessons for users and providers At press time, CI Host had not responded to questions about how the security breach occurred and how it would compensate customers, but other colocation providers had plenty to say. According to Chris Crosby, senior vice president at Digital Realty Trust, Security is a paramount issue for customers with installations in colocation facilities. It is overwhelmingly the most important thing they are seeking in a facility with 80% of customers ranking it No. 1. Knowing this, Digital Realty uses a multilayer security protocol to protect all its facilities. A four-level access control system is the foundation of the system, limiting access to the facility to authorized people. The facilities also have a check-in system that tracks everyone who is in the facility and limits the areas that they are approved to be in. There are also biometric access points to equipment areas where customer installations and other critical systems are housed, he said. Similarly, the Planet, a Houston-based company that owns and operates six data centers containing more than 40,000 servers, said it that has instituted strict security procedures. Any time people come in and out of our facility -- bringing equipment in or out -- they have to go through the multiple points of security every time, said Yvonne Donaldson director, public relations at the Planet. Customers should expect this kind of access control system in any facility they are affiliated with, Crosby said. Unfortunately, many data center facilities make a show of security but don't really stand up to serious scrutiny, said Chuck Goolsbee, blogger and vice president of Tech Ops at Seattle-based colocation facility digital.forest.

I work not horribly far (maybe 12-13 miles) from there and can say that there are plenty of affordable places within twenty minutes though. Meaning that I think that $41k is far from a starvation wage. In fact, while I earn more than that, I currently live on considerably less.

Re: Question regarding RACF migration.
Even if you are not on a supported migration path, you can always try to copy the database over and apply the new templates. The worst that will happen is it doesn't work. In that case, you can use the brute force method. Run the RACF DBSYNC freebie comparing your current database to an empty file. It will produce a reasonably complete set of RACF commands to make your new database look like the old one.

Re: Hipersocket speed?
Interesting question. My understanding is that this a feature of the adapters. Therefore I ass-u-me that the data actually flows from the host to the adapter back to the host. If that is true, then one could SWAG the speed as something close to theoretical gigabit. However, you would still be constrained by IP and Ethernet protocols, where a large percentage of the data flowing is going to be TCP/IP headers and trailers along with gigabit (fast Ethernet) headers and trailers.

Re: Are any of us this desperate?
That's a good point. I've had several good leads from people on IBM-Main. A couple of good interviews resulted from those leads. Unfortunately, I still don't have a job. I've even started applying for computer operator jobs, which I assume would pay maybe half of what I made as a sysprog. Any good leads out there? Eric Bielefeld Sr. z/OS Systems Programmer Milwaukee, Wisconsin 414-475-7434 - Original Message - From: Anthony Saul Babonas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Complaining on IBM-MAIN is better strategy than complaining to your congressman. One of us might come up with some lead on a new job. What's the congressman going to do for you? Find you a job? Convince your next employer to pay you what you used to get paid? Look how well they've dealt with the price of gasoline. We go over there, take over a couple of countries, control the flow of crude, and it's still $3.00 a gallon. -- 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: Hipersocket speed?

Therefore I ass-u-me that the data actually flows from the host to the adapter back to the host. ... I don't think that is the case. The Miilicode/microcode is the same code that moves data to/from GBe OSAs but the adapters aren't involved. I seem to recall that sholder-tapping code had to be added for Hipersockets because there were no interrupts involved, but the actual transfer just involves buffer shuffling. Actually, buffer pointer shuffling. If that is true, then one could SWAG the speed as something close to theoretical gigabit. ... I'm guessing it probably faster unless that pseudo-interrupt slows things down a lot. . .. However, you would still be constrained by IP and Ethernet protocols, where a large percentage of the data flowing is going to be TCP/IP headers and trailers along with gigabit (fast Ethernet) headers and trailers. I think there are no GBe headers involved. Large percentage obviously depends on the data being sent. You get 40-50 bytes of TCP/IP headers A small MTU would set an upper limit on throughput the same way small block sizes constrain other data paths. ... If you use MTU discovery thetre is no reason not to put a very large MTU size on Hipersockets. Ours (according to a NETSTAT DEV) is MTU Size: 65535.

Re: Question regarding RACF migration.
I dimly recall (hey, it's all pretty dim these days) a long ago chasm crossing where we had to 'reformat' the RACF data base. I can't imagine anyone still running such an ancient release. Unless you're resurrecting a copy of a decades old data base, a 'template refresh' should be sufficient to get the old coot running. That process used require a utility run before IPLing a new level. For several OS releases now an in-storage update is done dynamically, and the utility--if you bother to run it at all--is done after IPLing a new level. Just remember that a RACF data base is quintessentially a bunch of ones and zeroes until it becomes the 'primary' data base in a running system. At that point, what you got is what you have. An old data base that may be 'usable' with updated templates may lack so many profiles and modern options that it's useless for your normal operation. In other words, you can try this at home, but don't try it at work in a production environment. . .

The worst that will happen is it doesn't work. In that case, you can use the brute force method. Run the RACF DBSYNC freebie comparing your current database to an empty file. It will produce a reasonably complete set of RACF commands to make your new database look like the old one. (Users created in the new database will have default passwords which they must change at first logon.) In any case, the effort should be measured in days, definitely not months. I want to know from a technical perspective if some one needs to migrate an existing system from an older version of OS (say MVS/ESA, OS/390 etc to Z/Os) what is the impact on RACF?. Would migrating the RACF to a newer version be a big enough Project(like a 6 months to 1 year kind of project)?. Or as in any migration from one version to another, RACF is also automatically handled?.

Retrieving current HSM AutoDump processing stats
Got a question for the HSM guru's on this list I need to retrieve the current AutoDump processing information from within a REXX exec. The HSM QUERY AUTOPROGRESS cmd returns the info I need. For example : AUTO DUMP IS CURRENTLY PROCESSING DFSMSHSM MANAGED VOLUMES SMS VOLUMES RESTRICTED TO PROCESSING BY THIS PROCESSING UNIT: NOT (CONT.) PROCESSED=847, TOTAL=1617, SMS VOLUMES NOT RESTRICTED TO (CONT.) PROCESSING BY ANY PROCESSING UNIT: NOT PROCESSED=0, TOTAL=0, (CONT.) NON-SMS VOLUMES: NOT PROCESSED=60, TOTAL=60 However, you can't write the output from a DFHSM QUERY cmd to a dataset. You can only use the REXX CONSOLE cmd to trap the output. Unfortunately, we a few clients who don't allow the use of the REXX CONSOLE cmd, so I'm looking at using the HSM DISPLAY cmd to dump HSM storage or the REXX STORAGE cmd to traverse the HSM control blocks. So far I haven't found anything in the HSM licensed manuals, so I was wondering if someone knows how to retrieve this info?

Re: Retrieving current HSM AutoDump processing stats
I'll ask our HSM guru folks tomorrow for some control boocks that contain the info you want and I hope they (the clients) haven't disabeled the Rexx STORAGE function by setting the STORFG bit to one in a IRXINITX exit. They could give you TSO CONSOLE authority to create an EMCS CONSOLE TSO session and at least give you the authority to issue the HSM QUERY command.
