Enclave SRB CPU time

Re: Manual formats
IBM, please keep the .boo files Not only are pdfs larger than necessary, they are a pain for reading stuff, especially as everyone and his brother hardcodes some defaults like 'single page viewing' so that the readers preference for continuous viewing is generally ignored and has to be set anew in each book (several unnecessary mouseclicks). In addition, having just been forced through the SAS pdfs to find out specific information, pdfs are abysmal for searching and jumping around (even the page number is not the page number to go to). I go through the trouble of downloading the necessary (to me) boo files for each new release (and I even give them understandable names). But then I am using the 1994 bookmanager library reader for windows. And I am hoping to the powers that be that this will still run when my company forces Vista on me. Relying on an internet connection at oh:dark:30 to get at some vital information is NOT the way to go, despite IBMs efforts to force the users to do just that!

Re: z/OS 1.10 and Data Areas
Thank you for your thoughts and comments. Just to clarify: This discussion began with respect to the data areas books, and was intended to be limited to those books. There is no thought that I am aware of to change from having the z/OS manuals other than data areas in both book and PDF format. So that should allay some of the fear. The only issue currently on the table is whether the data areas books themselves should be -- gotten rid of entirely (that will *not* happen) -- made available only in PDF -- made available in both PDF and book. -- made available in some other format entirely (this seems unlikely to me, but I wanted to mention it for completeness) I do not have any idea if only book format on the WEB' vs book format on TSO as well as on the WEB is a consideration. I did note the several comments from folks who use the book format on TSO.

Re: z/OS 1.10 and Data Areas
There is no thought that I am aware of to change from having the z/OS manuals other than data areas in both book and PDF format. There are other IBM products besides z/OS that are already dropping the .boo format for some of their books. I recently had the need to get current books for DB2 V9.1 for z/OS. I've found many of them in both .pdf and .boo format while some were available only as .pdf. So that should allay some of the fear. Not really, see my comment above. I do not have any idea if only book format on the WEB' vs book format on TSO as well as on the WEB is a consideration. I did note the several comments from folks who use the book format on TSO. Is the .boo format found in the CDs any different from either the WEB or the TSO format? If so, then there need to be 3 formats. I'm really having a hard time to understand why providing manuals in .boo format or not is an issue at all. IBM manuals, at least in the z-area, have a common look which seem to indicate they are all written with similar tools and strong sytle rules. Isn't there an automated process of producing .boo, .html, .pdf and what else from the same source? What a shame. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse -- 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: Activation of IOCDS fails
The problem has nothing to do with the IODF itself or the job that created it. The problem is environmental: at the last IPL--for whatever reason--the system did not use an IODF file that matched the one that was *at that time* the active one in the hardware. If you examine syslog from the last IPL, you will probably see messages that indicate the problem. If you do D IOS,CONFIG now, you will see that your system is not dynamic. The 'simplest' way to fix this is to IPL again with a matching IODF available and usable. Worst case is that you may have to do a POR with a newly updated IOCDS. I say 'usable' because one reason for failure to use your intended IODF at IPL is that it has taken more than one extent. A multi-extent IODF can look perfectly good until you try to IPL; IOS will not use it. . .

Re: Activation of IOCDS fails
Jerry, You need to ACTIVATE both your IOCDS and IODF using the same ACTIVATE command. Use: ACTIVATE ACTIOCDS=A2,IODF=XX,FORCE=(DEVICE,CANDIDATE) -or whatever suits your needs. You must have the IOCDS and IODF with the same token value. Use: D IOS,CONFIG - to display the currently active IOCDS and IODF. Before you can change the IOCDS, both the IOCDS and IODF must have the same token value. If the IOCDS and IODF token values not equal, you can only do software configuration ACTIVATEs.

Changing JCL works but is labor intensive, and you have to scan every job just to find out what jobs are currently assigned /*PRIORITY so let's skip that as a solution. IFF I had an Automated ops type system I could use that to change the input priority, But I do not have one, and am unlikely to get one. Skip that too.

In other words IPL will be succesful, but the RACF db will be under high risk. True, the IPL will technically work. Of course, you may end up with the wrong RACF DB (if you say sysplex communication in ICHRDSNT when you shouldn't have), and so none of the applications may work. Some might consider that a failed IPL since you'd end up with an unusable system at the conclusion of it. Or with the wrong dsnames in ICHRDSNT, or the wrong sysplex communication flag, you can also end up with an unusable system (wrong DB) or an unusable system because you broke the DB. Or even an unusable sysplex because you broke the DB. But yes, the IPL would have been successful. And by the way, we've made that processing more robust in z/OS R10 to try to avoid some of the problems we've seen from such incorrect parameters.

Re: SMPE question
Mark, do you have PTFon your SMPE 3.4 system? FIXCAT HOLDDATA is incompatible with prior releases of SMP/E. It can only be processed by SMP/E 3.5. Coexistence APAR IO07480 is provided for SMP/E 3.3 and SMP/E 3.4 to enable those releases to silently ignore the FIXCAT HOLDs when they are present in the SMPHOLD file. The PTF for APAR IO07480 (PTFs UO00700 or UO00701) must be installed on SMP/E 3.3 or SMP/E 3.4. Failure to install these PTFs will cause the RECEIVE command to fail with message GIM20311E and GIM56701E when processing SMP/E HOLDDATA, after the availability of z/OS 1.10. When installed, this fix will ignore FIXCAT ++HOLD statements during RECEIVE processing of HOLDDATA when using SMP/E 3.3 or SMP/E 3.4. The PTFs for APAR IO07480 (UO00700 and UO00701) are available in RSU0803.

Re: SDSF Held queue
As of a few minutes ago: OA25382: AFTER OA23460, USE OF THE SDSF JDS PANEL TO MODIFY A SINGLE DATASET ATTRIBUTE CAN RESULT IN CHANGING ALL D 08/06/04 PTF PECHANGE APAR status OPEN Error description When the SDSF JDS panel is used to change attributes such as CLASS or to purge the data set, SAPI is changing or purging all data sets in the JOE. This has occurred when the last data set in the JOE, or the last system data set (JESYSMSG) is selected. Selection of other data sets (such as JESMSGLG or JESJCL) resulted in changes to that data set only. This has been reported after HIPER APAR OA24360 is applied. Verification steps: - After OA23460 applied to 1.9 (R740) - Changing CLASS or Purging a data set results in changing or purging all data sets in the JOE - Specifically occurs when JESYSMSG or last data set in the JOE (DSID 102, 104, etc ) ADDITIONAL SYMPTOM: When making an initial SAPI request via CTOKEN, and subsequent requests without the CTOKEN, in a read next fashion, SAPI fails to return any datasets in the output group after the call that returns JESYSMSG. Verification Steps: - Initiate a SAPI request via CTOKEN for a JOE that contains JESMSGLG, JESJCL, JESYSMSG and other sysout datasets in the output group. - Remove all selection criteria for the next request except SSS2SWTR on all subsequent requests. - Note that SSS2EODS is returned after JESYSMSG and non-JES2 system datasets for the job are not returned as expected.
