Re: Archiving open systems data on WORM via MF
Natasa, If I understand correctly, you have data -- let's call them files -- residing on distributed Windows, UNIX, and/or Linux servers. You also have mainframe-attached tape drives with WORM tape cartridges available, for example IBM TS1120 tape drives with 3592 WORM cartridges. It's likely your mainframe operations staff do a great job cost-effectively managing tapes and protecting your company's most precious asset, its data. They may also have implemented encryption and good key management, so that the data are well protected. And they have prepared for disasters, so that your company can stay in business if there's an emergency. These are all important capabilities that require initial investments -- they are not free -- and it's not surprising that you'd want to take advantage of them for more of your company's data, to share the costs and benefits. And you are presently using a major tape management product for z/OS, for example IBM DFSMSrmm. You do not want to buy IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) software for some reason -- I guess on why below. Lastly, you want to keep the solution as simple as possible. Presumably you need this WORM capability because Croatian government banking regulators require that your company retain certain records for a period of time on media that cannot be modified. Perhaps a government inspector or auditor told you you need to do this as soon as possible if you don't want to go to jail. :-) This is a common requirement in many countries, to prove to the regulators that you did not change certain records past a certain date. Did I get all that information correct? If so, here are some ideas: 1(a). As a general architectural pattern, if you can relocate those files -- databases, for example -- directly onto your mainframe they will then come into your mainframe's tape management domain. For example, if the distributed data are currently located in Oracle, DB2, or another relational database, you could move those database tables to DB2 for z/OS. Your applications, whether they remain on distributed servers or also move to the mainframe, can then access DB2 for z/OS using standard protocols such as JDBC or ODBC over TCP/IP, the same as they do today. (zIIPs can be quite helpful for this.) According to a Gartner Group study from a couple years ago this data recentralization activity, moving enterprise data back into z/OS (and to centralized Linux databases), is a common trend for the business reasons you have and many other reasons. There are occasional application-related issues to switching databases, but these issues are becoming less and less significant with each new DB2 for z/OS release. It is a lot easier to move to DB2 9 for z/OS than to DB2 V6, for example. 1(b). If these are files rather than databases -- Microsoft Office documents, for example -- then you can configure z/OS to act as a file server using either NFS or CIFS/SMB file sharing protocols. These file sharing capabilities are part of z/OS itself, so if you have z/OS you already have these capabilities. A designated part of your z/OS file storage (on one or more designed volumes) then appears to your Windows or UNIX servers and clients as another file server, much like a Windows file server (Drive Z!) or a UNIX NFS file server. You can configure authentication via the z/OS Security Server (RACF) or another SAF-enabled security system on your mainframe, as you do for securing other services, so you can bring file sharing access into your same mainframe security domain quickly and easily. And then, since the files always reside on your mainframe, they are now part of your standard tape management domain, too. This approach would work well for situations where your clients and servers have good network access (bandwidth) to your mainframe and for medium-intensity or low-intensity file access. Office suite documents would be a good example. It works best when the distributed server or client records a point-in-time consistent copy to the network drive as standard practice with every save. (The typical office suite is again a good example.) A few applications and middleware products don't behave this way -- most database servers, for example -- so you may need to quiesce the applications just before you copy their files to WORM tapes. 2(a). If the above methods don't work, you might be able to use the file sharing technique in 1(b) and have your distributed server (or client) perform periodic (scheduled) copies of files or databases to the file sharing area on the mainframe, quiescing applications if necessary. However, there are some drawbacks with this approach. The first major drawback is that it is less simple: your distributed servers and clients will have to copy files reliably, on schedule, to your mainframe. That can become an administrative challenge and require you to buy and implement enterprise scheduling software. (At that point, why not just buy TSM?) Also, you are more

But if you have a lot of data which require a lot of 3390 disks and the other options are TMM, regulars tapes, other virtual tapes, you can consider to put the data in a very cheap storage which emulate 3390 disk (e.g. MFNetDisk, the data can be accessed all the time from MF) in PC storage.

IBM PR: Enterprise Modernization Sandbox Now Available
For those of you who would like to take a test drive of IBM's enterprise modernization tools including Rational Developer for System z (RDz), Rational Transformation Workbench (RTW), and Rational Business Developer (RBD), please point your Web browser here to get more information: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/emsandbox/systemz.html There's a lot of good information here which I also recommend exploring, but please click on the Skills link (third bullet) for access to the RDz/RTW/RBD test drive. This test drive provides remote access to a live z/OS system and a pre-configured desktop environment for writing, compiling, and debugging code using the modern RDz graphical workbench. You can try C, C++, Assembler, COBOL, PL/I, Java, REXX, JCL, etc. You can use RTW to gain insight into code and subsystems in order to locate service entry points and modernize the code in various ways, such as changing data elements to Unicode, pruning redundant code, etc. RBD lets you write, compile, and debug Rational Enterprise Generation Language (EGL) and deploy EGL to the mainframe. This 4th generation programming language is easy to learn and highly productive. It's also a great target language for migration from older 4GLs, such as IBM's CSP and VisualAge Generator, and from non-IBM 4GLs. There's a 3 (or maybe 4) hour time limit, but you can take the test drive as often as you want (within reason). Please save your work if you'd like to pick up where you left off as you start a second test drive, per the instructions. There is no formal support for this test drive, and it is subject to change at any time.

One reason could be that a extent has to be allocated (for one of your output datasets) when running the job is running (and another time this is not neccessary).

Re: CPU-Time in z/Os-System. Is The Cpu Time In z/Os-systems A Meaningful Indication?
Differences in runtime can be a variety of reasons. Do you have any performance reporting tools like STROBE or do you know how to use RMF or SMF reporting functions? Do you have MICS or MXG? More or less, it could be due to any of the following 1) Changes in file size 2) Changes in workload during this run 3) Changes in DB2 workload 4) Other performance issues in the system at the time. Tape or DASD used by this job can impact run time. 5) How busy was your system this time compared to last time it ran? The numbers 11.25 means 11 mins and 25 seconds. That in itself is not always an issue. Did you meet your SLAs for this job? Jobs can vary in runtime. You need to have a baseline that says this job will usually run in 10 mins. If it runs over 20 mins it is a problem.

Re: Ca Faver for Z/os
Hi Carl, The quick answer is...YES. I was a beta tester for the product and I can tell you a few things about it. If you have CA's compression program for VSAM files, it supports the conversion to Faver for z/OS. One of the main reasons that I use Faver was for my history files. One of the nice things about VSE was that I could backup sequential files using Faver2...No problem with Faver for z/OS. It can restore them. The last time I spoke to the development team from CA, I was trying to get them to back up sequential (flat) files in z/OS. They were thinking about it...I have not pursued that any further.

Re: DFHSM QUESTION - REFRESH STC
SETMIG DSN() MIGRATION should take care of it.. 35.3.1 COMMANDMIGRATION | MIGRATION | NOMIGRATION: Specifying the Way Space Management Is Controlled Explanation: COMMANDMIGRATION | MIGRATION | NOMIGRATION are mutually exclusive, optional parameters specifying how space management is controlled for a data set, a group of data sets, or all data sets on a volume. COMMANDMIGRATION, valid only with the LEVEL parameter, specifies that DFSMShsm allows space management by data set command for any of a group of data sets you identified with the LEVEL parameter. DFSMShsm does not manage these data sets when it processes a volume. MIGRATION specifies that DFSMShsm will do space management automatically or by command for a data set, a group of data sets, or all data sets on a volume. You specify the MIGRATION parameter only if you previously specified the COMMANDMIGRATION or NOMIGRATION parameter with the SETMIG command. NOMIGRATION specifies that DFSMShsm will not do space management for the data set, group of data sets, or the volume; however, DFSMShsm will do space management by data set command for data sets when this parameter is specified with the VOLUME parameter. If NOMIGRATION is specified with the data set name or LEVEL parameter, DFSMShsm will not do space management by data set command. Defaults: None. Notes: 1. The COMMANDMIGRATION parameter applies only when you specify the LEVEL parameter. If you specify COMMANDMIGRATION when it does not apply, DFSMShsm ignores it. 2.

Re: DFHSM QUESTION - REFRESH STC
Thanks Allan for your help also, thanks for the link. I will check it out. Staller, Allan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: SETMIG DSN() MIGRATION should take care of it.. 35.3.1 COMMANDMIGRATION | MIGRATION | NOMIGRATION: Specifying the Way Space Management Is Controlled Explanation: COMMANDMIGRATION | MIGRATION | NOMIGRATION are mutually exclusive, optional parameters specifying how space management is controlled for a data set, a group of data sets, or all data sets on a volume. COMMANDMIGRATION, valid only with the LEVEL parameter, specifies that DFSMShsm allows space management by data set command for any of a group of data sets you identified with the LEVEL parameter. DFSMShsm does not manage these data sets when it processes a volume. MIGRATION specifies that DFSMShsm will do space management automatically or by command for a data set, a group of data sets, or all data sets on a volume. You specify the MIGRATION parameter only if you previously specified the COMMANDMIGRATION or NOMIGRATION parameter with the SETMIG command. NOMIGRATION specifies that DFSMShsm will not do space management for the data set, group of data sets, or the volume; however, DFSMShsm will do space management by data set command for data sets when this parameter is specified with the VOLUME parameter. If NOMIGRATION is specified with the data set name or LEVEL parameter, DFSMShsm will not do space management by data set command. Defaults: None. Notes: 1. The COMMANDMIGRATION parameter applies only when you specify the LEVEL parameter. If you specify COMMANDMIGRATION when it does not apply, DFSMShsm ignores it. 2. If a data set is specified in more than one LEVEL parameter, that data set is given the space management status that is specified in the first issued command.

Re: CA ESD files Options
Shai, And performance. Virtualisation over a network may be a fairly large step down from native FICON speed, and the server supporting those targets would have to support some fairly high IO rates. For some very small amount of data some PC based storage with software RAID may suffice, but as throughput and capacity grow the cost of the server to support this would impact the ability to scale this as a cost effective solution. On a small scale, and with JCL changes, we could be doing this with NFS already. There are virtualisation solutions that emulate 3390 disk that are not PC storage where the data can be accessed all the time from the MF. The PC itself would represents a fairly low level of availability if you are talking VISTA and XP on a PC you bought from Fry's.

recover files deleted from 3390 devices on a Shark?

Re: CPU-Time in z/Os-System. Is The Cpu Time In z/Os-systems A Meaningful Indication?
I have a programm written in Cobol which runs monthly on a z/Os-System. The programm reads inputrecords and writes them in a database (DB2) and in different outputfiles. It consumes nearly the same numbers of input records every month. I wonder now, why there are so great differences in the consumed cpu-time. For example: Last month the programm consumed due to the job protocol 11.25 (what ever that means) and this month it consumed 16.33 If the COBOL program simply looped it would use a certain amount of CPU time and that amount of time would be more or less the same every time you ran it on a given machine. However your COBOL program does useful work, reading and writing data. It consumes system services while doing that and those system services are related to the amount of data being processed. So if the amount of data being processed is about the same then you would expect the amount of system resources (including CPU) to be about the same. You are seeing roughly a 5 second (45%) increase in CPU consumption, so that is far outside of what you might expect from random variations. Are you sure your program is processing the same amount of data? If the amount of data really is about the same then you have to look to the organization of the data. For your input files; the block size may have changed which could lead to an increase in CPU time, but it is unlikely that you would see such a big change. For your output; there are lots of minor changes that can have major impacts on performance in DB2. That pretty much leaves DB2 as the potential culprit. I would look there first.

Re: Differences between Share/dedicate CPU
Not clear what you want to do. Assuming each LPAR can use all of the CPU's, then each LPAR can use 479 MSU's, (just not all at once). You can influence how WLM prioritizes each LPAR with the weights (on HMC) and with importance settings (within WLM policies). You can constrain a given LPAR by using with the 'soft cap' (based on a rolling four hour average), 'hard cap' on the HMC, or reducing the allocated CPU's on the HMC.

z/OS 1.7 with toleration PTFs for 1.9
Hello everyone, I'm looking for some feedback for some problems were having with the operating system either locking up (ipl locked up) or slowing down to a crawl for a period of around 30 minutes. There are always changes going in but the most recent and suspect is that 1.9 tolerations ptfs were applied recently to the o/s. The only symptom that something is happening is that any TSO users logged on get disconnected and an error message is issued: IKT116I USERID RECEIVE ERROR,RPLRTNCD=14 RPLFDB2=13 SENSE= WAITING FOR RECONNECTION IKT122I IPADDR..PORT ... I could'nt find the RTNCD=14 with FDB2=13 in z/OS V1R7.0 Comm Svr: SNA Messages or the z/OS Communications Server: IP and SNA Codes and SNA Programming Guide I've googled trying several variations but so far all I could come up with is that there is possibly some problems with auxillary storage or getmain/freemain virtual storage. If anyone has run across these codes I would appreciate any information you could share with me. This is only happening once a week at the same general time so I have scheduled several display commands such as D ASM,ALL and $DA to display what is going on at the time. There are several jobs that are processing across 3 lpars (not sysplexed) and it's hard to isolate it to one job (it this is really the culprit.) Are there any other commands I can issue to detect what might be going on with the system at intervals leading up to the slowdown as we have very little information to act upon except for the TSO users being forced off.

Re: CPU-Time in z/Os-System. Is The Cpu Time In z/Os-systems A Meaningful Indication?
I'd suggest that you look into DB2 detailed accounting report which gives a very good account of where the CPU was spent while doing DB2 work. Compare the two reports if your site keeps this historical data otherwise make do with new report and see what can be improved. There are so many factors affecting DB2 CPU usage that a guess is more worthless than you would think.

I wonder now, why there are so great differences in the consumed cpu-time.

Re: CPU-Time in z/Os-System. Is The Cpu Time In z/Os-systems A Meaningful Indication?
Chris has said (better than I could) what I was thinking. First stop should be DB2. Jon snip If the amount of data really is about the same then you have to look to the organization of the data. For your input files; the block size may have changed which could lead to an increase in CPU time, but it is unlikely that you would see such a big change. For your output; there are lots of minor changes that can have major impacts on performance in DB2. That pretty much leaves DB2 as the potential culprit. I would look there first. /snip -- 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

When you compare the value in the dataset name, the program branches on anything lower than the letter 'A.' The special characters in the dataset name like # is dropped from the index.

Re: Fw: AS400
As Mark mentioned, apparently RACF already has profiles in OPERCMDS to limit the command. However, you are not seeing the ICH408I messages because of the options JES2 uses on the RACROUTE REQUEST=AUTH request. I believe that you can get the ICH408I (if you need them) temporarily by using a JES2 $TDEBUG command. Also, I believe that even if the messages are suppressed, there will still be violation records written to SMF, so you run the RACF SMF extract jobs and see the violations there.

DFSMSrmm basic question
This is probably a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway, and ask pre-forgiveness. :-) We are running 3 LPARs on a small z9-BC (production, development/test, and a sandbox). Each of the LPARs is stand-alone, with no SYSPLEX sharing of anything, nor do I have anything like GRS implemented. When the system was set up years ago, there was no need for any tape on the test LPARs. Now, the developers are clamoring for the ability to run extended batch on the test LPARs and so they want access to tape. My question is, what is required (or is it even possible) to use a single DFSMSrmm tape pool across multiple LPARs? What I would like would be for the tape catalog to remain on the production LPAR, and have DFSMSrmm on the test LPAR make a call across to the production LPAR for verification of scratch status, and updating of tape information into the production LPAR RMM catalog. The implementation guide indicates that I should be able to do this, but I didn't have much luck finding specifics. Right now I'm just looking for a general can it be done, and what kind of effort would be required to 'make it happen'. TIA.

Software cost savings from a zIIP
This has been cross posted to the MXG-Listserv. We will be moving from DB2 v7 to DB2 v8 this weekend and then getting a zIIP engine shortly. We are currently at z/OS v1.7 with plans to get v1.9 installed on all LPARs by the end of the summer. Since the z/OS system programmers are working on the v1.9 installation they don't want to take the time to install the FMID to pick up the zIIP engine information in the SMF records. Also, the plans are to just drop a zIIP loaner in place and try it out instead of sending the data to IBM (Sirius in our case) to do the study. However, I've been asked to estimate the software cost that will be saved by the zIIP engine. I'm thinking this way. Our DB2 DDF workload has grown from nothing to using 10% of the processor during that last year. I know that DB2 DDF will be the major workload eligible for zIIP processing, but I also know that not all of it will end up on the zIIP engine. From what I've heard about 60% of it will end up there. So that means that about 6% of our CPU, or about 8 MSUs, will be moved from the general purpose engines to the zIIP. Am I correct in my thinking or am I way off base? I have Al Sherkow's LCS software with the accompanying costing tables so once I have an estimate as to how many MSUs will move it'll be easy to calculate the cost savings. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Changing the format of the Archives web display?
I access IBM-Mail only through the archives web site. A few minutes ago something was posted to IBM-Main that radically changed the way this month's archives are displayed on my browser. Scott Rowe posted something with a very long subject. The subject is wrapped, but only after taking up about two thirds of the page width. This has shoved the From adn Date fields way off to the right, and has quished the Date field so it wraps - taking 4 lines. I just went back to preior month's archives and the subject on them wraps after only about 1/3 of the page width. Is this format presentation hard coded, or is there a way to limit the width? I can't find any options for setting this.

2105-800 to EMC DMX4 conversion
We are planning to move our zSeries disk from our 2105-800 to an EMC DMX4 disk array later this year. Currently the 2105 is mirrored and that is what we are probably going to do on the DMX. I believe the 2105 also stripes the zSeries logical volumes across multiple little SCSI disks. The 2105 handled all of the logical volume placement within the array that appears to be all user configurable in the DMX so I am curious on the various opinions for the Hiper (sp) size in the DMX. The array will be used for distributed systems and zSeries and the distributed work is already using a DMX1000 that will migrate so I think they have some set Hiper size values in mind for that work (but I think they are using about 5GB which seems way to large for a zSeries, or am I wrong?). Also, does this depend on 3390 emulated volume sizes? We currently are mostly mod -3 and mod -9 due to a DR contract that will eventually go away so we may explore some small volumes for spool, CDS files etc and other reserve sensitive files and some larger volumes for the larger databases and such. Any opinions you might have on this would also be welcome. You can respond on or off list, whichever you would prefer (if responding off list, I am not sure which email address my post will come from so please use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the reply address) I realize I asked for opinions and although my question is regarding Hiper (sp) size I would be interested in any opinions/advice I can get regarding migrating from a 2105-800 to a DMX4.

Re: TCPIP IPDS Printer
There is a default port (5001?) which is used if not otherwise specified. You are seeing message APS933I and not some kind of TCP/IP error which would normally suggest that you have a good port setting. You may wish to check for any operator messages about this printer in the system log. Also, you should check the settings on the job sysout as compared to the printer settings.

Re: TCPIP IPDS Printer
I think that if you had vtamprint or anything else connected to the 6500 you will not get the JES PSF printer to connect. And like Ken has stated m ake sure IPDS is available/started on the printer.

Re: z/OS 1.7 with toleration PTFs for 1.9
I would go looking into the network side of the house. Since it appears to be happening at a certain time, for a certain duration, that points to the network. And the TN3270 server is not required at 1.8. I'll find out soon on 1.9.

Re: z/OS 1.7 with toleration PTFs for 1.9
Mark, But the OP said that he was having the problem on the 1.7 system, which had 1.9 toleration applied, not the 1.9 system. 1.7 still runs fine with TN3270 in the TCPIP address space. It isn't until 1.9 that you must split them out.

Re: DFSMSrmm basic question
Actually according to the guys at my shop that actually configure and maintain it, you can set up NetBackup to work just like this. I should have been more clear in my comments. There is an optional piece to NetBackup that allows the NetBackup server on one box to function as the owner of the library and tapes. I think it's called the shared storage option. Each of the client NetBackup pieces running on the various other boxes has direct access to the tape drives and their own storage. They ask the server for a tape drive and a scratch tape, the server hands out the resources (in our library, it mounts the tape on behalf of the client) and tells the client to proceed. Once the client is done backing up the datasets it relinquishes control of the tape drive and media back to the server. You are right, basic NetBackup pulls all the client data across the network to the server which then writes it all to tape. This is absolutely NOT what I want to do. Yuck. Omniback (now called data protector) from HP works the same way, and it was pretty slick. Rex -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R.S.
