Re: MVS Command Authorization
You see me confused. Either I'm missing some recent change or, I have never understood how comand processing really works and am just about to discover this... This is my understanding (leaving out sysplex routing to drop that level of complexity): - SVC 34 (MGCR, MGCRE) is the programming interface to issue commands. It verifies the arguments and sends the command onto its journey through the system. No command authorization processing done yet. - The commands are presented to the SSI command listener routines (SSI function 10) in subsystem sequence, on after the other. - Finally the command is queued to the MVS command handler. SSI processing: - Each subsytem interested in commands sees each and every command (unless MGCEFAST has been set). - When a subsystem detects on if its commands, it marks it as processed (and of course, does whatever needs to be done to process the command). - When a subsystem sees a command marked processed it ignores the command. MVS command handler: - When the MVS command handler sees a command marked processed it ignores it. Otherwise it tries to interpret it as an MVS command (one of those commands described in the MVS System Commands manual). If this is correct, then neither SVC34 nor the MVS command handler can do authorization checking for subsystem commands. Each subsystem is responsible to do its own authorization checking (if at all). Again if this is correct, MGCEFAST can never be set for a non-MVS command, i.e. a command recognized by a SSI command listener, since it is suppressing SSI (BTW, I haven't found where MGCEFAST is documented.) Happy to learn where I'm wrong and how it really works. -- Peter Hunkeler CREDIT SUISSE -- 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: how much difference is between deploying a j2ee application in Z/Os and in windows?
Rob Wunderlich writes: z/OS DB2 tends to lag behind Windows in function. Check which version you are running on z/OS compared to the Windows version. Just to expand on what Rob is saying, if you're running an older version of DB2 for z/OS, then Rob's concerns likely apply. However, a lot has changed concerning DB2 for z/OS in the past couple versions. If you draw a Venn diagram, there's mostly overlap, but the area outside DB2 z/OS (and inside DB2 Linux/UNIX/Windows) has gotten smaller (and continues in that direction), and the area outside DB2 LUW (and inside DB2 z/OS) has been getting a bit bigger lately. There are a lot of reasons for these trends, but that's a topic for another thread. There's a great bit of documentation, SQL Reference for Cross-Platform Development, which I would recommend for developer audiences. You can find it here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/db2/library/techarticle/0206sqlref/0206sqlref.html Hopefully this book will get updated for DB2 Version 9 very soon, but the DB2 V8 guide is quite valuable. I think every developer who writes code that accesses databases should have a copy of this book close by. As a general rule with WebSphere applications, it's not too hard to redirect them from using DB2 V8 LUW (or earlier) to using DB2 V8 for z/OS. Or V9 to V9 (and often even V9 to V8). Yes, it's something you want to think about and plan, but, in general, it's not a particular challenge. Actually, I think in an earlier thread I alluded to the fact that mainframes measure and monitor, and that alone can be a shock for developers with code that hasn't been previously measured and monitored. If the code and/or database-related logic is inefficient, you can still run it, but the mainframe will tell you exactly where it is inefficient. And that alone can be a blow to many developer egos. :-) Just make sure you understand and prepare for the psychology involved there. :-) - - - - - 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: HFS storage efficiency query

A little late, but: back when we had Lotus Domino running on z/OS, at one point we converted to ZFS and then converted back to HFS. A newly re-organized HFS isn't bad, and they said performance was better than via ZFS. This is stressing the 're-organized' part. An HFS with lots 'traffic' (delete and allocate of small data sets) over time not only gets bad space utilization, it also gets slower. I cannopt answer you actual space question.

Re: REGION=0M and LSQA
Now, if you are APF authorized and you can get to KEY0, what you can do is calculate how much below the line storage you need, and then you can modify the LDA to LIMIT your below the line storage so that you have reserved LSQA space. In this way, you can use the 0M limit to give you all the space (above and below) that is available to the catagory of address space you are running in (your upper limit in above storage may be set differently depending on what kind of access you have). grr You risk lots of trouble with me if a product that does it runs in our shop! I absolutely hate applications that bypass the installation's control and do what they want 'just because they can'. It is bad enough that IBM goes and overwrites MEMLIMIT with ridiculously high values, but at least IBM did not bypass the IEFUSI controls this way. If you need a certain amount of storage, document it clearly, but do NOT misuse APF authorization to store values that the installation doesn't know anything about! Regards, Barbara Nitz -- Pt!

Re: PL/1 Storage Control Issue
Just to add my bit in case it helps: 1. LE run-time options such as HEAP can force memory to be allocated below the line, LE run-time option RPTOPTS(ON) will confirm the settings. 2. If it is a memory leak, the LE HEAPCHK run-time option will show you the memory leak e.g. HEAPCHK(ON,0,0,15,0) This will trace every allocation without a matching free, and show up to 15 levels of traceback for each of these so you know where it came from (at least that is how it works with C). The results will be a in CEEDUMP produced during termination. You will need HEAPP(OFF) for the CEEDUMP to be useable though or you will get every allocation and free. If the problem is outside LE, there is a Getmain Freemain Storage Trace (GFS Trace) in GTF that is very good. -- Mike Poil Java z/OS Level 3 Service IBM United Kingdom Limited, Hursley Park, Winchester SO21 2JN Internal: 246824 External: +44 (0)1962 816824 Java debugging: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/diagnosis/ -- Zahir Hemini [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU 11/12/2007 14:12 Please respond to IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU To IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU cc Subject Re: PL/1 Storage Control Issue Hi Rick, I cant point you at a reference, but I can tell you how we looked at a problem like that some years ago.

Re: Any way to create a PDS using FTP?
It seems that a PDS is recognized as a directory, but there doesn't seem to be a way to create one. How about a PDSE? Is that possible?

Re: db2 lock structures duplexing
NO! You don't want to duplex the LOCK and SCA structures. We don't do it. IBM explicitly recommends not to do it under Planning for availability. Configure a simplexed SCA and lock structure in failure-isolated coupling facilities. (When duplexed, the SCA and lock structure do not need to be in failure-isolated coupling facilities.) Duplexing the SCA and lock structure offers marginally faster recovery times compared to dynamically rebuilding a simplexed SCA and lock structure. Duplexing also enables you to use internal coupling facilities (ICFs), which provide cost savings over stand-alone coupling facilities without compromising availability. However, before you decide to duplex the SCA and lock structure, you should consider that: Duplexing the SCA and lock structure does not add significant availability, because the structures can be rebuilt very quickly from in-memory data. Duplexing the SCA and lock structure can cause a significant impact on performance. In most cases, the overhead that is incurred by duplexing these structures outweighs the availability benefits of duplexing. The IGS Performance team related that they have found other customers doing this and the overhead was very high.

Re: db2 lock structures duplexing
Sam When I read the original poster's question, I thought he was discribing his environment like this: CPU1: ICF1, DB2A \__ DB2A and DB2B in the same Data Sharing Group CPU2: ICF2, DB2B / If my simple diagram is correct, then given this configuration, the only way to failure-isolate SCA and LOCK is to system-manage duplex them. I think their options might be described as follows: 1) Accept the cost of system-managed duplexing for his DB2 environment, or 2) If the overhead of system-managed duplexing for SCA and LOCK is too high, accept the outage potential because the structures are not failure-isolated, or 3) Purchase some (cheap? used?) hardware to run SCA and LOCK outside of the hardware footprints where his ICFs and DB2s are running today.

Re: ABEND S530 / Wait State 040 - IEAVNPDC
The first thing I looked at was to see what we had in GRS. The only member we have is the GRSCNF00 member and it has one statement in it (GRSDEF SYNCHRES(YES). I also thought it might be an issue with both being up so I brought the test system down and tried to bring up just the production system but the results were the same. They both coexist now at the same time using the same parmlib members (albeit one has more maintenance on it). The parmlib members aren't changing at all. If the sysres ipls in one LPAR it should in another if I'm using system variables and indirect referencing to distinguish between images. And as I mentioned, there are no image specific datasets on the sysres itself. It's not making sense as to why I'm seeing a difference between LPARs.

Re: db2 lock structures duplexing
(I'm not dismissing other responses, just focusing on the original question.) Pawel, If you have only ICF LPARs contained in the same CECs that run the MVS images in question, you MUST duplex the structures. Overhead may be a pain point but it is not a variable in your decision.. Failure to duplex exposes you to recovery hell if you lose an entire CEC. Having said that, I cannot recall losing an entire CEC in this millennium. Still, it's a situation Dr. Murphy would rub his hands and chortle over. In the case of DB2, he will do his own duplexing because (I believe) the critical need for duplexing was recognized and addressed by them before system managed duplexing went GA. The books will tell you which structures to duplex, which by system and which by 'user', as well as structures like ISGLOCK (GRS) that do not need duplexing.

Re: MVS Command Authorization
Peter, I can only speak for the products I've developed and how we implemented command security. Also, I might add that years ago I found a spreadsheet someone had at SHARE that listed each OPERCMDS entities. That could be used as a foundation to know which commands are verified. If an OEM product uses the SSI (as we do with CA Tape Encryption) our subsystem is responsible for picking off the command and performing what action is required (we don't leave a WTOR for communications). Once the command has been found in the SSI, we perform a RACROUTE to see if the user (using that term in the most general sense) has access to the command. If a customer defined an OPERCMDS entity BES.DISPLAY UACC(NONE) and does not have the supporting code in place (in this case the CA Tape Encryption SAF Interface) then the entity is never verified. Again, I didn't mean to go start such a debate over my response yesterday. I just wanted to make sure the original poster reviewed their product's documentation. Regards, Gary You see me confused. Either I'm missing some recent change or, I have never understood how comand processing really works and am just about to discover this... This is my understanding (leaving out sysplex routing to drop that level of complexity): - SVC 34 (MGCR, MGCRE) is the programming interface to issue commands. It verifies the arguments and sends the command onto its journey through the system. No command authorization processing done yet. - The commands are presented to the SSI command listener routines (SSI function 10) in subsystem sequence, on after the other. - Finally the command is queued to the MVS command handler. SSI processing: - Each subsytem interested in commands sees each and every command (unless MGCEFAST has been set). - When a subsystem detects on if its commands, it marks it as processed (and of course, does whatever needs to be done to process the command). - When a subsystem sees a command marked processed it ignores the command. MVS command handler: - When the MVS command handler sees a command marked processed it ignores it. Otherwise it tries to interpret it as an MVS command (one of those commands described in the MVS System Commands manual). If this is correct, then neither SVC34 nor the MVS command handler can do authorization checking for subsystem commands. Each subsystem is responsible to do its own authorization checking (if at all). Again if this is correct, MGCEFAST can never be set for a non-MVS command, i.e. a command recognized by a SSI command listener, since it is suppressing SSI (BTW, I haven't found where MGCEFAST is documented.)

Re: Possible change to MCSOPER processing
There seems to be some confusion as to what these possible changes are and why IBM is making them. The MCSOPER programming interface currently allows you to make a system console inactive via the REQUEST=DEACTIVATE parameter. Note: By system console, we mean the operating system console function provided by the Hardware Management Console (HMC). When a system console becomes inactive, there is no way for you to make it active again (except by reIPLing that system). The change will prevent the MCSOPER programming interface from inadvertently making a system console inactive. This should not be confused with the VARY CN,ACTIVATE and VARY CN,DEACTIVATE system commands. The VARY CN,ACTIVATE system command allows you to place the system console in problem determination mode. The VARY CN,DEACTIVATE system command allows you to take the system console out of problem determination mode. These system commands are NOT impacted by the change. -- 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: MVS Command Authorization
Scott. I hope you don't lose any sleep over this and I'm somewhat sorry that I stirred up the mud on this out-of_the_closet bit even though it's documented enough to describe what it does. But overall, I'm glad I know about it.

At the time (ca 1988/9), I was still pretty wet behind the ears and was just doing what the team leader asked. In retrospect, the _right_ answer probably should have been a non-externalized service/entry into command processing that the sysplex code just dropped the command into, rather than setting a wacky bit on in the parameter list and re-issuing SVC34. Probably looks weird in system trace, too.

Re: Forcing a userid and password prompt on session connect
Eureka! It's working! Johnny, In addition to your last suggested change, below, I also had to uncomment out the trailing 'ALLOWAPPL *' statement. I had commented it out on my own innitiative, assuming - incorrectly - that it was unnecessary. Happy days are here again! Thanks everyone for your input. And that's a belated thanks to cover previous posts of mine over the last month, where many people similarly offered their expertise to answer questions and resolve problems.
