Tivoli Output Manager - SAF Security Activation Options
Greeting all, I'm studying the Tivoli Output Manager User's Guide to determine how to implement RACF security using the SAF interface and have the following questions. 1) The guide only shows setting the SAF ID via what appear to be console commands to be entered after product initialization. Is it possible to set the SAF ID in configuration options, such as the BJT#IN03 parameter library member? Can it be changed via the ADMIN menus, and if yes, via which menu resource? 2) How do you set the SAF CLASS parameter? Based on the descriptions found in the messages section of the guide, it appears this is done via console commands like SET ID. Is it possible to set SAF CLASS in configuration options? Can it be changed via the ADMIN menus? 3) Is the FACILITY class the default value for the SAF CLASS parameter? Regards, Bob Robert S.

Re: SV: Rexx bug?
From REXX/VM Reference - Quote Certain character strings are numbers even though they do not appear to be numeric to the user. Specifically, because of the format of numbers in exponential notation, strings, such as 0E123 (0 raised to the 123 power) and 1E342 (1 raised to the 342 power), are numeric. In addition, a comparison such as 0E123=0E567 gives a true result of 1 (0 is equal to 0). To prevent problems when comparing nonnumeric strings, use the strict comparison operators. /Quote Thomas Berg wrote: -Ursprungligt meddelande- Från: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Patrick O'Keefe Skickat: den 10 mars 2008 20:50 Till: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Ämne: Re: Rexx bug?

Re: Tape switching: Autoswitch vs MIM/Allocation
snip We only have a single monoplex today. We are splitting it in twain for political reasons. I.e. the current image will run only production work, the new image will run all development/test/qa (nonproduction) work. It will be a basic sysplex because nobody would pony up the $173,000 USD to get a CFL for our z9BC. If interested, the reasoning goes that since we cannot get all of our work done during month-end because production soaks the CPU totally, the non-production work is be unjustly penalized. This will be fixed by putting the non-production work in its only LPAR on the same CEC and weighting the LPARs appropriately. Nobody would believe me when I said that I could do this using WLM on a single image. They wouldn't even allow a proof of concept to see how a WLM solution might work. Yes, I'm disgusted. ---unsnip The whole situation sounds very much like Management by Airline Magazine.

Re: Tape switching: Autoswitch vs MIM/Allocation
I can relate and sympathize with John on this. A while back I was asked to work with the installation team to *shoehorn* WAS V5 onto a G5 in 31 with 2 LPAR's, 1 sandbox/1 production/dev. The prod/dev. LPAR had 2.4 GB w/1.7 cs and .7 es. The machine was already running at 100% with latent demand. While my pre analysis stated that it would not work I was *asked* to make it happen. Of course being the good soldier I am I proceeded. I wish I could have seen the faces when we started the WAS cell groups up during prime time as I was working remote of the corporate site where the prod users were. I sure saw the faces of the support staff at our site when we cranked WAS up. The freakin' lights dimmed in Trevose at times. After about 6 weeks of causing my own performance problems it was decided it would not work. That and the fact that we did not really have the storage to support prod., acceptance, dev. and test WAS cell groups. It was an experience though and I did seem some performance numbers I have never saw before.

On Mon, 10 Mar 2008 19:38:59 -0500, William H. Blair wrote: If by the phrase correct result you mean actual LOCAL TIME then it can't and won't. That is not what I was trying to show you. I was demonstrating and illustrating the fact that that, for input to STCKCONV, you HAVE TO ALREADY HAVE a corrected local time stamp value (in STCK or STCKE format) in order to get the correct LOCAL TIME out of the STCKCONV service. The purpose of the program was to demonstrate that you can't get what you call the correct result out of STCKCONV with JUST a TOD clock value. The arguments for storing time stamps in a universal convention, such as UTC are well known; I hope you're aware of them. One of the strong ones is the ambiguity in local time during the autumn Daylight Saving adjustment. If you have TOD clock values recorded in a data set (such as a log file of some sort) then you will simply have to know (if you did not also record the contemporaneous values of the LSO and LDTO fields) and be able to reproduce them. In some cases, of course, this information is known. For example, the value of CVTLSO is pretty constant, and can actually be looked up in a table whose argument is GMT, because when LSO changes and, in the past, has changed, is set by international agreement and is published. So that does not need to be recorded with the STCK[E] values, if you are willing to go to the trouble of looking it up in a table. The value of LDTO is simply time zone-dependent, and if you know the time zone of the machine that produced the data then that can be looked up in another table. There are two boundary conditions that are difficult to deal with, but for the most part, unless you are writing an operating system or a product, you don't really need this data recorded. It's easier of course if you do have it, but it costs you an extra 16 or 32 bytes in your log records or whatever. Wouldn't this complexity, and the associated tables, better be incorporated in a system facility, such as an enhanced STCKCONV, eliminating the need for each application's developer to repeat the coding effort, and reducing the hazard of coding errors? One might invoke Unix System Services to perform much of the computation. Unfortunately, UNIX is ignorant of leap seconds, as required by POSIX specification of the standard functions (but this doesn't preclude extensions as an alternative). -- gil -- 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

It was a great surprise to me, and a disappointment, when I first learned about STCKCONV. .. such corrections would more usefully be performed by STCKCONV, so archival timestamps could uniformly be uncorrected TOD clock values. STCKCONV could, of course, be enhanced to do this, but it could just as well be a new service (or a new macro). But which macro or which service offered it is not important. But there is no reason why the TIME macro/service should not also be enhanced to return a LDTO- and LSO-corrected STCK[E] GMT/UTC TOD clock value. TIME already returns the local time, just not in an STCK[E] format. So I don't think it would be more useful to have this _just_ in STCKCONV. It would be most useful to have it in both, but if IBM were going to deliver it in just one, I would choose TIME, since I can handle the double or quadruple arithmetic myself just as easily as I can code new parameters on an (enhanced) STCKCONV macro invocation. In other words, most folks would benefit from it being added to the TIME macro and service. Nonetheless, your goal that archival timestamps could uniformly be uncorrected TOD clock values is both noble and desirable, but they could be that way now (and are in many products I know of). All one has to do is a little bit of extra work, or simply store the LDTO and LSO values ALSO. There's nothing that prevents this from being done now. If STCKCONV were enhanced, you'd have to write some new code anyway. If you're willing to write some new code when that day comes, just go ahead and write it now to handle the actual or implied LDTO and LSO values. Then when the new STCKCONV features you want become available, you can just remove some of that new code and let STCKCONV do it for you. -- WB -- 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

Paul Gilmartin wrote: Yes, but the important distinction is that, in contrast to the CVT fields, neither TZ nor any other environmental setting needs to be changed semiannualy. True. But I bet most z/OS mainframe folks are happy it still works the way it does now. Why? Not everybody wants to or can afford to change their time zone offset at the same time that the civil clocks are changed. And, not every system is in a location that observes Daylight Saving Time. Of course, there could be yet another parameter that indicates whether or not THIS system observes DST, and another parameter that indicates the magnitude of the DST change (not all locations around the world adjust the clock by exactly one hour for Summer Time or whatever they call it). But, even if z/OS had all of this additional automatically-effective parameterization available, I bet that a significant plurality would not take advantage of it, and instead elect to handle it manually, across an IPL, just like they do now. If OS/360 had done it right to begin with, and had the DST parameters, calculations and corrections built in from the very beginning, we would not have the problems we now have because all subsystems and applications would have been able to handle DST-instigated local clock discontinuities from the very beginning; every programmer would have known that time-sensitive programs had to be coded to do so. But, that was not to be the history we now regret. UNIX, coming along later, did it just a little bit better. -- WB -- 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

XML Questions
I have some statistical data residing on z/OS that I would like to be able to load to a relational database. The relational database engine depends upon the user's environment/choice. DB2, SQL Server, MS ACCESS, to name three. From the research I am doing, it looks like all three understand XML data. I believe it is possible to define the tables using XML schema definitions, and load the data into the tables using XML data definitions that match the schema. What I'd like to know is 1) is the above true? I can use XML and accomplish both table definitions and table loading. And 2) what kind of gotcha's are there in accomplishing this? Any recommendations for resources for XML 'stuff' would be appreciated.

The user can then decide if on-line viewing on the PC is sufficient and/or print all or selected pages to a network / PC - printer.
