Re: z890 model upgrade
Jim Marshall writes: Bad news is you would have to buy Parallel Services to have ADABAS running on multiple engines. But the original poster is nowhere near hitting a uniprocessor capacity limit yet. For example, a System z9 BC with one processor active would offer up to a little over 4 times the capacity as his current dual processor z890 configuration. (That's a z9 BC Model Z01 compared to a z890 Model 230.) Moreover, a z9 BC would have 18 intermediate steps from H01 through Y01 (inclusive) just in the uniprocessor capacity configurations. So this potential processor affinity issue may not be a problem, at least not in the short term. Similar logic applies for the (x)02 (dual processor) range of models, except that the capacity multiple would be about 8 times what he has today (z9 BC Z02 compared to z890 Model 230). All of which means it would be a very, very good idea to have a thorough discussion of all reasonable options with a smart person or two. Although, as a rule of thumb, it's not a good idea to embark on large capacity upgrades of older models. (Large gets smaller as the model gets older.) It almost always makes much more sense to order the capacity upgrade in the form of a model (technology level) upgrade. IBM at least is going to respect MSUs, and the original poster has got at least z/OS in the equation. As a powerful clue concerning this rule of thumb, IBM is withdrawing z890 capacity upgrades from marketing effective September 30, 2008. (Originally the date was June 30, 2008. That original date was announced in June, 2007. In May of this year, IBM announced a 3 month extension.) Starting next month, increasing capacity on a z890 can still be done but requires moving up in hardware technology. Or swapping whole physical machines via the secondary market I suppose. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan / 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: Senior project title about MF
Sounds really interesting! I'm sure this community will have some good ideas for you. Are you expected to write code (to program), or can you use, say, open source code already written by others? (Is there a minimum amount of code you're expected to write?) Also, what software environment do you have available on your university mainframe? By software environment I mean (for example) z/OS (version and release), z/OS components (for example, do you have the C/C++ compiler?), DB2 version, IMS TM, IMS DB, MQ, CICS Transaction Server, etc. I can think of a lot of ideas already, but it's most important to choose something that you'd enjoy. Here are some random ideas (with no particular attempt to assess feasibility): - Porting the Linux Standard Base (LSB) to z/OS (UNIX System Services), including one or two sample applications. - A (secure) instant messaging and/or Voice over IP server for z/OS that complies with particular protocol standards, to support a wide variety of clients. Could include a Web-delivered Java applet that clients could optionally use. The Jabber/XMPP protocol is one example. - Social networking for z/OS, such as Wiki software and/or blogging software (Drupal, Scoop, etc.) - Bring another programming language to z/OS. Most are already available, though. Possible examples include Tcl and Gambas. - Bring another relational database to z/OS, such as PostgreSQL or MySQL. - A secure peer-to-peer file sharing client, server, and catalog system for z/OS (based on the Bittorrent protocol, for example). - [EMAIL PROTECTED] (BOINC) client for z/OS. - Adding explicit z/OS support to the Eclipse workbench (for Java and for the CDT), so developers can perform basic compile/run tasks. - Bring GNU Dap (statistical analysis package) to z/OS, particularly if it can support SMF. - A TeX system for z/OS (such as the XeTex system), an advanced typesetting and markup language package particularly for scientific and academic document generation. - One of the open source Microsoft Exchange replacement servers for z/OS (such as Zimbra, Scalix, Zarafa, etc.) - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan / 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

You almost certainly don't want to convert to ASCII, but rather to some code page that matches ASCII for code points 40-FE.

It would be the you-know-what out of what IBM supplies with z/OS. However, porting GCC would likely never be done because that would compete with IBM's own C compiler. Also, I get the definite impression that, at least for the z/OS system, IBM does not really like the GPL. I think this because everything that I've seen ported by them is BSD licensed, or some other license which allows them to keep their modifications proprietary (closed source). Just say NO! to OCO!

Re: Mark HSM migrat2 tape as full
Delvol Markfull will only mark the tape full so that HSM stops appending to it.
(I know this has already been answered. I include only for completeness.)
Now to the rest of your problem - Are your tapes duplexed? If yes, you issue a
Taperepl command against the missing tape. Now all pointers the the missing
tape will be directed to the duplexed tape and you may resume recalling data as
necessary.
If the tape is not duplexed, you need to do the following (unless you're sure
you will never need this data)
List the contents of the tape using the following:
HSEND LIST DSN MCDS SELECT(VOLUME(nn)) ODS('tsouid.nn')
Edit the ODS Hdelete all data sets on the tape and execute
Then edit the ODS again to Hrecover all of the datasets and execute.
Then either edit the ODS again to Migrate what was just recovered or let nature
take its course.

Re: Mark HSM migrat2 tape as full
DELVOL ... MARKFULL is safe to execute and the only way out of this misery. ML2 tapes are a precious commodity, because they contain the only copy of a migrated dataset (unless a backup copy also exists). Therefore you should have duplicates (or should I say: you _better_ have duplicates). So, if you have an alternate / duplicate ML2 tape ... In addition to the DELVOL MIG003 MIGRATION(MARKFULL) command you also want to do these commands to press the duplicate volume into service and to recover from this lost tape situation without data loss: - TAPEREPL ORIGINALVOLUMES(MIG003) From now on, dataset recalls from ML2 written to MIG003 will request the alternate tape to be mounted. - RECYCLE EXECUTE VOLUME(MIG003) This will mount the alternate volume, copy contents to a new ML2 tape and create a new alternate volume, too. The MCDS is updated and all datasets pointing to tape MIG003 will now point to the new ML2-tape volume. Tapes MIG003 and its alternate volume will be returned to scratch status. If tape MIG003 is ever found again (or if you decide to label a new tape MIG003), it can be used in response to a scratch - mount request for a ML2 tape HTH Regards, Ulrich Krueger -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gilbert Cardenas Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2008 08:44 To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Mark HSM migrat2 tape as full The operators have an HSM tape that has gone missing.

Res: REXX EXEC
You can use DATE() to do that.
Ex.:
xmdate = x
Hi Claudio.
You can use DATE() to do that.
Ex.:
xmdate = xmyear'1225' /*where xmyear is year in four digit format*/
xmwday = DATE('W', xmdate, 'S')

On Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:38:38 -0500, Dave Day wrote:
Suggestions:
1)make the assembler routine re-entrant. Successive LOADS will up the use
count, but not actually bring in a new module.
2)pass the called routine a parm that says this is a successive call, not
the 1st.
3)if you can't do #2 above, take a look at NAME/TOKEN services.
4)if you can't do #3 above, create another load module that is not
re-entrant. Just a csect that is all 0's. Have the 1st routine search
the
CDE chain for the non re-entrant one. Set indicators in the non
re-entrant
dummy 0's load module that tells the other one what the status of things
are.
All good ideas. For a variant of #2 with some influence from #4,
let the Rexx routine supply the working storage for the called
routine, initialized before the first call. See the use of
ChainingVector in SYS1.SAMPLIB(CSFTEST) for an example of the
Rexx side of this technique.
But none of these deal with the deficiency that Rexx LINKPGM/ATTCHPGM
will LOAD and DELETE even a REFReshable load module for each
invocation. This causes unwelcome overhead for large numbers
of invocations. So, perhaps:
5) Put the routine in LPA if permitted.
Would there perhaps be Rexx interfaces to LOAD and DELETE
on CBTTAPE (or similar) so the routine could be LOADed and
DELETed only once?
Would TSO-REXX supply better advice?

Re: Mark HSM migrat2 tape as full

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Delvol Markfull will only mark the tape full so that HSM stops appending to

(I know this has already been answered. I include only for completeness.)
Now to the rest of your problem - Are your tapes duplexed? If yes, you issue
a Taperepl command against the missing tape. Now all pointers the the missing
tape will be directed to the duplexed tape and you may resume recalling data
as necessary.
If the tape is not duplexed, you need to do the following (unless you're sure
you will never need this data)
List the contents of the tape using the following:
HSEND LIST DSN MCDS SELECT(VOLUME(nn)) ODS('tsouid.nn')
Edit the ODS Hdelete all data sets on the tape and execute
Then edit the ODS again to Hrecover all of the datasets and execute.
Then either edit the ODS again to Migrate what was just recovered or let
nature take its course.
The datasets on this tape are just TMM point-in-time backups so we don't
back them up or duplex them since they are really expendable. I don't
believe HSM was trying to recall any dataset but simply appending to the tape
which is why I wanted to mark it full to avoid any more problems trying to
locate it.
I appreciate the thoroughness of your answer though.

VATLST00
Hello, I would like to pass a situation by everyone to get their opinon of an issue I am having. I have opened an issue with IBM but many heads are better than 1. We are getting some new dasd and after the dasd is installed I am to run an ICKDSF REFORMAT with the REFVTOC parm against all the dasd, per the dasd manufacturer. I tested this on a test machine against a few volumes and found that my MVSCAT volume is mounted as STORAGE and the ICKDSF does not like this, it wants it mounted PRIVATE. This is the only volume mounted as STORAGE. My VATLST00 is as follows: VATDEF IPLUSE(PRIVATE),SYSUSE(PRIVATE) MVSCAT,1,0,3390 ,Y DLIB02,1,2,3390 ,Y DLIB03,1,2,3390 ,Y MVSDLB,1,2,3390 ,Y MVSRES,1,2,3390 ,Y TARG02,1,2,3390 ,Y TARG03,1,2,3390 ,Y I took over this system from someone else and do not know why this was set up to be mounted STORAGE. It looks like I could shut down the system, ipl a stand alone ICKDSF and run the REFORMAT but that seems like a last resort to me. The system master catalog does reside on MVSCAT as do other data sets. Is there a reason to have this mounted as STORAGE? Are there system datasets that are required to be on a volume mounted STORAGE? Can I change this MVSCAT to be mounted as PRIVATE and re-ipl without causing issues since it has been this way for a while? Is there a requirement to have at least one volume mounted as STORAGE in VATLST00? Thanks to everyone in advance for your help.

Some help with SMS
I need some SMS help. I've never had to mess with it before, and don't have a clue. If there is a quick and dirty way to get what I need done, I'd appreciate someone givimg me some help. I've just migrated from a 1.6 Flex-es system to IBM's RDP system. Running 1.9. SMS is active. I've got 8, 3390 volumes defined that I want to use. Questions. How do I tell SMS to use those volumes for non-specific dasd allocations? And, how do I tell SMS to leave some other volumes alone? Give me the steps I have to go through. I tried hitting the manuals, but really don't know where to start.

It does make most things nicer, but it is not required. You could just use the volumes as is by allocating your datasets using UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=volser or via ISPF 3.2. If you need to allocate without specifying a specific volser, you can use the MOUNT command to mount one or more volumes as STORAGE. (M /dev,VOL=(SL,volser),USE=STORAGE). There is not any quick and dirty way that I am aware of. First, you must define some ACS routines (DATACLAS, MGMTCLAS, STORCLAS, and STORGRP). These are kept in a standard FB/80 type PDS as source. You must then use the ISMF dialog to create one or more DATACLAS definitions, one or more MGMTCLAS definitions, or or more STORCLAS definations, and one or more STORGRP definations. The DATACLAS ACS routine should assign a DATACLAS to every dataset. The MGMTCLAS ACS routine must assign a MGMTCLAS to every SMS managed dataset. The STORCLAS ACS routine must assign a STORCLAS to every SMS managed dataset. The STORGRP ACS routine must assign a STORGRP for every STORCLAS. Once that is done, then you define each volser that you want to be SMS managed to a single STORGRP. This, again, is done via the ISMF application. Once you have entered all of that, and translated your ACS routines (ISMF application again). You must ACTIVATE your new SMS configuration. There is not really a quick and dirty way to do this. Again, do you really want SMS for some reason? -- John -- 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: Some help with SMS
There is not really a quick and dirty way to do this. As I read the original post, the OP already has SMS implemented. It should be relatively simple to add the new DASD to the config, but I haven't done it in years, so I don't recall the steps. Again, do you really want SMS for some reason? I firmly believe the answer is yes, for most shops.

SRB Wait JWT
While I don't believe that this is true can someone confirm. If a task goes into some sort of SRB wait, no time is also accrued to the JWT timer making these wait types mutually exclusive. Do I have this right or am I all wet? I would think that if you did hit the JWT limit, set at several minutes, that you have other more serious problems at hand.

Re: Some help with SMS
Dave, SMS is necessary if you don't want to use anything that is new in allocation in the last 15 years (G, D, R). Mounting all or some of your volumes as STORAGE and specifying UNIT=3390 or UNIT=SYSALLDA for non-specific allocation will get you up and running. If you want to use SMS then you only need to define STORCLAS and STORGRUP and allocate them with the appropriate ACS routines. DATACLAS is optional, and MGMTCLAS can be allocated to a default that does nothing. A dataset must be assigned a STORCLAS to be SMS managed. Everything else comes after that. In most cases A STORCLAS called DEFAULT with everything defaulted will suffice. The STORGRUP contains the list of volumes that will be used for your non-specific allocation. Don't forget to INIT the volumes as SMS managed! Changes are done by editing an SCDS, and then promoting this to the ACDS. The red book tells all Coding the ACS routines to assign STORCLAS and STORGRUP is covered in the Redbook someone mentioned earlier. If you can write PL1, REXX, CLIST or SAS you will have no problem with ACS code. More detailed information is in the DFP of the DFSMSeverythingelse reference guide.
