Re: Archiving open systems data on WORM via MF
WORM TAPES MFNetDisk emulates 3390 disk with data in disk storage connected to PC (example: hard disk). MFNetDisk emulated disks are good candidate to replace tapes as a cheaper and unlimited size and reliable storage media. Any 3390 disk (mirror) can be changed to READONLY and by that to be protected from any write operation. The data can be accessed any time from MF without the need to run application to restore the disk/file. I hope this feature can help you.

Re: SYSLOG problem
The problem was caused by an operator forgetting to do a W CLOSE before running our process that copies the syslog to a data set. This caused the creation of the data set in an uncataloged state. The next time the process was started, (24 hours later), the uncataloged data set killed the process that normally automatically starts a new syslog.

Re: Another one bites the dust.
As others have said, the Customer Anchor Table has fullword slots assigned to individual customers or ISV's on a one-per-company basis. Quoting Peter Relson's 1996 email Once assigned, that slot is yours 'forever' and will never be reassigned to someone else. You can do with it as you want.. It would be interesting to know how many are actually assigned. As it is in 31bit common storage anchored by ECVTCTBL its easy to get to (six instructions or less) and saves having to use system level name/token services.

Ed, Thanks for sending that link. That article raises a number of questions. If you're the head of an agency and your z machine is swamped, can you upgrade? I'm sure the process takes at least a year to upgrade, but if you can't get a replacement machine, what do you do? Conversions off the mainframe take years.

With the new z10 instruction ADD LOGICAL WITH SIGNED IMMEDIATE, the entire 6 instruction sequence could be reduced to a single instruction: ALSI R-CNTR,1 Of course this would require that the COBOL compile have such a z10 optimization option. For compute intensive applications, such optimizations along with the new z10 compare and branch instructions could be significant. To aid in analyzing mainframe COBOL programs a new z390 COBOL Portable Assembler option has been added in z390 PTF v1.4.01b. With this option installed, you can convert Enterprise COBOL or COBOL for OS/390 generated assembler listings into z390 assembler source programs which can be assembled, linked, and executed specifying starting and ending line numbers in order to unit test or benchmark specific generated code or supported COBOL statments with called functions. In this initial release only DISPLAY and STOP RUN function calls are supported, but requests for additional functions are welcome. Support for COBOL/370, COBOL for MVS, and VS COBOL II are also in development. For example generation and execution of DISPLAY and STOP RUN demo, install z390 v1.4.01, v1.4.01b PTF, and then enter the command cobol\paos\OSDEMO1.

Re: CA VTAPE
We converted to CA VTAPE in October 2005 on a z800-0C1 (143 MIPS?). We have been very impressed with it but it does eat some CPU. It did wonders for our batch schedule at night. We were very busy during the day but had cycles to spare at night. From 10/03-9/05 00:00-08:00 we averaged 34.5% busy (before) From 10/05-1/08 00:00-08:00 we averaged 53.2% busy (after) And the schedule finished hours earlier than it did before. And the Operators were assigned additional duties :). It occasionally spikes during the day when someone is banging away at virtual tapes but doesn't hurt the onlines thanks to WLM...

I did some archive searches and got some hits from 2005. I was wondering if there are any more recent experiences. I am probably most curious about CPU consumption. One of the 2005 post talked about a 15% hit on a Z890. There was a response to turn off compression for the DASD Cache. The original poster thought that they already had done so, but I did not see a follow-up post that said whether that was true or not.

Re: WLM and TSO
Aimee, We watched the SCPER report from RMF and tweaked TSO periods and goals until our TSONORM was performing well for all periods across all systems during all types of workloads short of system overload. # Duration Imp Goal description - - - 1 15000 290% complete within 00:00:01.000 2 12 350% complete within 00:00:08.000 3 450% complete within 00:02:00.000 Additionally, these production TSO periods are _ALL_ percentile time goals, so that the RMF SCPER report gives a true accounting (in the 14-bucket breakout) of actual performance of these service class periods. This makes them a lot easier to tweak as needed until they are just right. Our system programmers all have their main IDs in another one called TSOHIGH which is a low-velocity, high-importance service class with only one period (importance 1, velocity 5). If the system is suffering SO bad that nobody in TSONORM can get in, then those in TSOHIGH can still do work and diagnose the system, but if someone tries to run batch like work in TSOHIGH they're not going to get WLM helping them very much at all because the goal is set so low, and they'll end up wishing they'd put it in a real batch service class. It's far from perfect, but closer to a best of both worlds concept. As always, there are great inputs from other posters on this subject as well, and your mileage may vary. Good luck, hope this helps!

Re: LISTCAT QUESTION
Willie, Using ExHPDM to backup DASD to tape will cause these catalog entries with this DEVTYP. Your listcat is of a MVS dataset that is one of many backed up to the same ExHPDM tape/stream. Note the volser of **SOV*. You will have to find the mvs dataset name that ExHPDM uses to contain all these backup tapes to get the volser and DEVTYP this actual tape backup dataset is on. It can be found in the ExHPDM sysout or in a SOVLIST. Example: We backup all our DASD to tape with this dataset prefix followed by the volser of the dasd: BACKUP.SYSTEM.volser when I listcat one of these dasd backups I get this. NONVSAM --- BACKUP.SYSTEM.ADM001.G0126V00IN-CAT --- CATALOG.MVSICF1.VADM001 HISTORY DATASET-OWNER-(NULL) CREATION2008.033 RELEASE2 EXPIRATION--.000 VOLUMES VOLSER**SOV* DEVTYPE--X'' FSEQN--1 ASSOCIATIONS GDG--BACKUP.SYSTEM.ADM001 ATTRIBUTES This dataset and hundreds of other are contained in a dataset created by ExHPDM. It uses this dataset prefix followed by the ExHPDM stream name and some random string of numbers/characters. BKPHPDM.streamname.random So when I listcat the ExHPDM datset BKPHPDM.WDRPRD.DJAQ0391, this is what I get. NONVSAM --- BKPHPDM.WDRPRD.DJAQ0391 IN-CAT --- CATALOG.MVSICF1.VADM001 HISTORY DATASET-OWNER-(NULL) CREATION2008.012 RELEASE2 EXPIRATION--.000 VOLUMES VOLSERA00621 DEVTYPE--X'78048083' FSEQN--1 ASSOCIATIONS(NULL) ATTRIBUTES Note that the DEVTYP is valid.

Re: U.S. suspends IBM from seeking new federal contracts
Kirk, I think we can give credit to Hollerith for his tabulating and counting machines, as well as the original punch card being the same size as a dollar bill, but he was not a great success as a businessmen. Tom Watson Senior really takes the credit. Hollerith's company was part of a 3-way merge where the parent companies contributed to the CTR name. Hollerith's company had disappeared at this stage, and he was just collecting royalties. Tom Watson Snr took the helm of CTR after escaping jail time for anti-competetive behaviour at NCR. It was he that introduced THINK, and renamed it IBM, not Hollerith. For a different view of Tom Watson the man, look up the history of DEHOMAG in Germany... No reflection on current day IBM!

Differences between Share/dedicate CPU
hi all, I have a query on CPU msu allocation based on share/dedicate CPU. For z9 2094-707, there are 7 CPUs on board. If we have 6 LPARS and all CPU are share. How to assign the actual MSU for each LPAR. To my understanding, 2094-707 has 479msu, if we just online 5 CPUs (shared mode) and can we have 2094-705 363 msu or (479/7)*2 = 342 msu * assume all CPU are shared instead of dedicate mode any comment will be appreciated Many thanks tommy -- 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
CA ESD files Options
Or maybe one of the virtual tape vendors, or the MFNetDisk guy could make it happen without a real tape. MFNetDisk already have the option to access any file which is allocated in MFNetDisk 3390 immediately. MFNetDisk can replace or can add value to any virtual tape or HSM as a secondary storage media or as a replacement to tapes media. So in general you can have very cheap storage (HARD DISK) which can emulate any 3390 size disk (all models and all size, even 100 cylinders is OK ) which can replace any tapes or virtual tape storage and can be online to the MF anytime amd all the time.
