Re: Defining Page Datasets on RESCUE Pack
Define catalog with recatalog may work, depending on your release. Personally, I'm still not comfortable with any VSAM, regardless of the application, being cataloged in multiple catalogs. SSA (system-specific alias) works, but I never liked SSA - too much clutter in the catalogs. As Tom Marchant pointed out - conventional alias works, too. Standard catalog search order prevails, and the pagespace will be defined in the appropriate catalog. What I've also seen done is MLA (multi-level alias). This works well in our sysplex environments to be able to define system-specific datasets for a system that might be down and unIPLable. That is: DEFINE ALIAS(SYS1.SY1) RELATE(MCAT.SY1) CATALOG(MCAT.SY2) DEFINE ALIAS(SYS1.SY2) RELATE(MCAT.SY2) CATALOG(MCAT.SY1) Then: DEFINE PAGESPACE(SYS1.SY1.PLPA) CYL(1) or DEFINE PAGESPACE(SYS1.SY2.PLPA) CYL(1) Will work regardless of which system you're on. Can also be used for SMF (for which the CATALOG/RECATALOG trick won't work, if there is indeed special code for PAGESPACE), LOGREC (even though it's non-VSAM), HFS, zFS, etc. FWIW, Art Gutowski Ford Motor Company ITI -- 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

Size Of SQA At Next IPL
Hello Listers We only perform scheduled IPLs of our systems twice a year. During these 6 month periods, there is a large amount of IODF change implemented by dynamic Activate (by another team). We have had a number of occasions when IPLing our systems where the Private area (below) has increased (not so much of a problem till folks start using it and I take it away again) or decreased (big problem as some applications won’t start) as a result of the change in SQA size without a compensating change in the CSA= parameter in IEASYSxx to maintain the top boundary of Private. The problem is caused by SQA size being “determined” rather than “specified” at IPL time. Then CSA, which is specified, is bolted on the bottom and rounded to the next Mb boundary. Does anyone know of a programmatic way to determine the approximate size that SQA would be at the next IPL assuming no more Activates are performed? Is it simply a matter of counting the UCBs below 16Mb (via UCBSCAN?) and multiplying by x’112’ as per HCD Planning manual? Any pointers gratefully received.

Re: How to enter Trademark TM symbol in hostexplorer emulator
2008/09/17 P.Sabarish Kannan [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I wanted to know how do we enter Trademark TM symbol in hostexplorer .Basically my requirement is to insert this character in Db2 v8 tables for both ascii and ebcdic table. I tried selecting different codepages from host explorer i)French ECECP 1147 ii)English UK ECECP 1146 iii)English-US C370 CECP V2(1047) iv)English-US CECP(037) But for all this i am not able to enter the TM symbol.I found the hex value is x'AF' . Perhaps you are confusing the Trademark symbol (Unicode U+2122) with the Registered Trademark symbol (Unicode U+00AE). None of the codepages you list above contain the Trademark symbol (a stylized TM), but they all contain the Registered Trademark symbol, which looks like a capital R in a circle. All the ASCII-based codepages have U+00AE at X'AE', and all the EBCDIC CPs have it at X'AF'. As far as entering a character in a particular terminal emulator program, while I don't know Hostexplorer, generally these programs have a keyboard mapping function that will allow you to map some otherwise unused key sequence (perhaps ALT-T) to the character you want. If you really want U+2122, then you have to either use a codepage that has it (and maybe there just isn't one), or arbitrarily use some other byte value to represent TM in your applications. Or just change everything to use Unicode...

Re: HYPERPAV
You have to activate HyperPAV usage via the IECIOSxx Parmlib member (HyperPAV=Yes). The LSSes used by this LPAR will be converted to HyperPAV LSS. Sysplex 1 will have HyperPAV=No, and will continue to operate as before. Any LSS that has been converted to HyperPAV usage (by Sysplex 2) will be no longer have Alias addresses bound to Base addresses. With your current setup : Sysplex 1 - Dynamic Alias management and Sysplex 2 - Static management, Sysplex 1 is always dictating what the Alias/Base relationship for Sysplex 2 will be. Most likely this is not what you originally wanted. Much worse would be if Sysplex 2 also managed the Aliases dynamically! Sysplex 2 will move de aliasses in the Hyperpav way and sysplex 1 will move the aliasses the WLM way HyperPAV aliases don't have a long term base assignment, so it is wrong to think of them as being moved around since they are only assigned for the duration of an I/O. Once the LSS is converted, WLM can't manage the Alias/Base assignement since there is now an unbound pool of HyperPAV Aliases. Sharing LCUs like this is not a good idea.

IBM PR: IMS Version 11 Announced
IBM announced IMS Version 11 this week. Details here: http://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_ca/8/897/ENUS208-258/ENUS208-258.PDF The Quality Partnership Program (QPP) for IMS V11 will begin on January 16, 2009. The general availability date will be announced later. IMS V11 will run on z/OS 1.9 or above. Some of the notable enhancements planned for Version 11 include: * Universal JDBC access to IMS DB from any standard JEE (Java Enterprise Edition) environment and even from several non-JEE environments. (Presently you are obliged to use WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, at least in a JDBC gateway role. There are still significant advantages to that, but this enhancement means WAS z/OS is not a requirement for such access. If you wish to federate data access across IMS DB and other databases, then InfoSphere Classic Federation Server for z/OS is a good choice.) * Numerous IMS Connect enhancements, particularly in network functionality and robustness. * New tooling and runtime support for creating industry standard Web services quickly and efficiently out of existing MFS-based IMS TM applications. This functionality supports Service Component Architecture (SCA), Enterprise Metadata Discovery (EMD) 1.1, and BPEL, and you can orchestrate these IMS Web services in long running business processes using WebSphere Process Server, for example.
