Export catalog by FTP
Hello everybody: We want to export a test catalog to our disaster site and we want use the FTP because we don't share unit tapes between us. We've tried to use the export function and then send by ftp (in binary) to the same dataset in the disaster site (with the same DCB), but the import cancels with code 12. Another way with a dump dfdss (IBM-MAIN post), but also the restore cancels with cod.08 because the dataset hasn't been created with dfdss.

Can I intercept Cancel event in LE-based application?
I have an LE-compliant program that consists of a mixture of Assembler and C routines. I have said goodbye to ESTAE embraced the LE equivalents CEEHDLR, CEE3SRP and the like. My abend-handling routines work OK, but I cannot seem to get control after an Operator cancel. This is a standard recovery situation - I can't recover from a Cancel, but I do need to clean up to avoid collateral damage. I have trawled through the LE manuals but cannot find a way of persuading it to hand me control. It's acting as if it's own ESTAE does not get control in these non-recoverable situations (ESTAE TERM=NO). Does anybody know if this can be done, if there's an LE override button to press? Is it a hard limitation of the LE environment? Or should I persist and find a stable way of using native ESTAE? Apologies if this has been discussed before, but my visit to the archives did not produce any useful nuggets.

Re: VATLST00
That VATLST00 you listed looks suspiciously like the one you get from IBM with a driver system when you first installed MVS/OS/390/z/OS. I am willing to bet that it was never customized after that initial install. Jeff 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.

Re: Digital Certificate Implementation TN3270
I think the OP is saying that self signed certificates have been generated. Each workstation should need the Certificate Authority (CA) cert chain of the Tn3270 cert. The way to avoid this is to use a cert that is signed by a common authority. Some TN3270 clients and some windows applications let you click around certificate problems, which I don't think is secure. I doubt IBM's PCOMM for example, would let you do that. If your systems are in a domain, a CA certificate can be handled in a group policy or somehow, we have our own enterprise CA chains that are essentially self-signed but get installed on each workstation that joins the domain.

Re: Linkage editor different ways to bind
First, you should be using the supported runtimes for COBOL2, and they are in LE. Otherwise, results can be unpredictable. I believe the name is hlq.SCEELKED. Second, compiler options for the older compliers can influence the binder behavior. I believe the ROT is RES DYNAM. Third, what do you mean 'couldn't be found?' AFAIK, a properly linked COBOL2 program will have only a few 'stub' CSECTS in the final program. Fourth, when an INCLUDED module contains other CSECTs, the Binder will not replace them unless explicitly directed to do so. Old COBOL runtimes as well as out of date subroutines can sneak into production via this vector and cause some real headscratcher problems.

Though an SRB cannot issue a WAIT macro, it can go into a wait. In particular, the manual states that the SRB can use SUSPEND to stop itself. Some other process would then need to do a RESUME to restart it. So your question is still relevant. If an SRB is dispatched in an address space and does a SUSPEND, will the address space still get an S522 abend due to a JWT time out?

Hello Hal, First, this is not my system. We just do some near-system development. I do not have anyway to influence the way my customer work.On systems I managed, I climbed before y(K2) ... Second, nop. Third, the Cobol2 stub modules was 'not resolved' Although the Cob2lib was in the syslib concatenation. From other hand, the second library in the syslib concatenation was searched to resolve csects. Those csects was not required when the SYSLIN pointed directly to the object code and not indirectly via INCLUDE xx(myprog). This is realy strange situation I can't explain.

Assuming you really need the system and the system need in MSU is really small you can do the following: 1. Assign small percentage (I've seen even sub-percent weights) despite it is counterproductive 2. Assign more power than it needs. Of course unused cycles will still be used by other LPARs if needed. 3. Look for another (smaller) CPC. Did I miss something? Perhaps, because your suggestions are not really keeping the utilization of these under - say 3%, per the OP, which I take to mean cap. 1. Unless you refrain from capping, this has been very counter-productive at our shop. WLM barely has time to figure out who to dispatch, and the LPAR is pre-empted. If you do not cap, you're really not keeping the utilization below 3% if there are cycles to spare. 2. I agree this is a valid alterntive to the what the OP is considering, but then you're not keeping the utilization under 3%. 3. Mark also suggested the penalty box alternative - fine, if you can afford it, but then you don't necessarily have to keep utilization below 3%.

Re: Digital Certificate Implementation TN3270
As far as I can tell, there are no industry standards. It will take time for the process to shake out and for good tools to appear on the shelves. Indeed, we crafted a solution we thought satisfied all of the requirements only to have the requirements change. From where I sit, it looks like an infrastructure similar to that needed to manage password resets will be needed. That is some number of fulltime employees (perhaps a help desk) would take requests, issue certs and somehow step the user through the import process. Or perhaps a central group could push out certs similar to fixes. These certs have a life span and will expire in a couple of years.

Any help would be greatly appreciated Thank You Bill Carroll You might want to post the actual JES2 entries. In general, full duplex is better. But, then again, only if both sides want to talk at the same time. It's kind of like the difference between a telephone and an old walkie-talkie. With a telephone, both parties can talk and hear at the same time. With a walkie-talkie, if you have pressed the talk button, you can't hear the other person. With half-duplex, one side sends some data, then says ok, you can send now and vice versa. They must take turns on the line. -- Q: What do theoretical physicists drink beer from? A: Ein Stein.

Re: jes2
This is not really a jes2 subject. Rather, one of telecommunications. Half duplex is less expensive and will work ok if the vast majority of your traffic is one way. A printer, for example. A full duplex line may be faster, but perhaps not enough to justify the cost. On the other hand, full duplex lines would work much better in a NJE network.

Segmentation Offload - Need to Disable Again
I just was sent this: === We have had two customers report failures while running Large Send after installing the latest code levels on Driver 67 and 73 OSA Express2 EC streams. Once again this failure causes the OSA to lose communications with the network interface card which results is the same messages as we have become used to seeing with previous Large Send problems. With initial reports of this problem, it is aparent that it is much easier to hit this problem than the previous The new problem is reproducible in our lab, a fix has been created and tested. I do not have a target date for MCL releases to the field at this point. The following is from the TDR: TEXT: OSA Express 2 Segmentation offload problem A new microcode bug was found on Segmentation off-load feature, using OSA Express 2 1 gigabit card. This problem is found at our current latest microcode level in driver 55, 67 and 73. This TDR overrides TDR H186550. The problem surfaces as an OSPF Adjacency error after an EZZ4310I ERROR: CODE=80100040 REPORTED ON DEVICE . DIAGNOSTIC CODE: 03 We have determined that the cause of this error.

Re: jes2
Bill, I called up the online library, http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/zshelves10.html#zbop and entered half-duplex into the search text box for JES2. From thus I discovered that full and half duplex apply - as I rather suspected - only to Binary synchronous (BSC) lines. Thus I suspect the DUPLEX= parameter is from aeons ago when you really did have BSC lines. It would appear that, if there are any messages saying that this parameter is ignored with the SNA lines you have today, you, and what I also suspect are your let- go predecessors, have managed in turn to ignore them. Since you are using Enterprise Extender (EE), you are using your IP facilities as an SNA logical line. IP is necessarily full-duplex. UDP which EE uses doesn't change that. I happen to know that JES2 imposes a particular SNA BIND image. That BIND image specifies X'4020' for the FM UsageCommon LU Protocols which means that JES2 expects to operate the session as a full-duplex session whatever the underlying transport. This is a consequence of B'00' in bits 0 and 1 of the second byte of the FM UsageCommon LU Protocols field. I hope this answers your question. Incidentally, you will find everything you need to know about JES2 in the JES2 books which you can access from the URL above. Alternatively you may care to look into the books listed by this URL http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/cgi-bin/searchsite.cgi?query=JES2 in order to find one which suits your level of knowledge. If you look into the JES2 books, especially Network Job Entry Formats and Protocols, SA22-7539-02, you will notice that you can run JES2 NJE natively over IP these days which would remove a lot of the protocol overhead of running Enterprise Extender. If it's efficiency you are after, this is surely the way to go! Chris Mason On Thu, 25 Sep 2008 15:04:19 -0400, Carroll, William [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am not very versed in jes2.

I would believe them. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! -- 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

This is why you need your own directory.
