Re: rexx to get storgrp
Greetings,
In REXX with the correct security in place, the following can be used to issue
MVS commands and access the results of the command:
"CONSPROF SOLDISPLAY(NO) SOLNUM(999) UNSOLDISPLAY(NO) UNSOLNUM
(999)"
"CONSOLE ACTIVATE CART(CARTID)"
"CONSOLE SYSCMD("mvscmd" ) CART(CARTID)"
x = GETMSG('msg.','SOL','CARTID',,60)
"CONSOLE DEACTIVATE"
The results of the MVS command are now in the msg. stem
variable.
To get the storage group of a specific volume:
D SMS,VOL(xx)
To get all of the volumes in a specific storage group:
D SMS,SG(),LISTVOL
I hope that this helps.
Cheers...
Michael

Re: SMS Tape volumes
Mike, As Lizette indicated, you can use CTSSYNC. Normally, it would be used with a parm of SYNC (to sync CA-1 and the robot), but that will not work well in this situation. Here, I would suggest you use CTSSYNC with a parm of SCRATCH to set the status to SCRATCH even if the tape is already in scratch status. This should reset the "REJ BY TAPE MGT SYS" flag as well. Of course, the question of WHY was it rejected by CA-1 in the first place still needs to be addressed. If it was because the volumes had been defined to a subpool; no problem. If the problem was the DSN17 didn't match the HDR1 DSN field; then as Lizette indicated the DSN17 field in the TMC should be reset to hexzeros as well (to prevent any further NOT-SCRATCH-28 rejects). Of course, it might also be a good idea to find out WHY the tape had been used for output processing without CA-1 knowing about it to begin with (if a NOT-SCRATCH-28 condition was the problem to start with). Reseting back to scratch if CA-1 says it is scratch is fine. However, I would also want to find out why CA-1 rejected it in the first place.

Re: SMS Tape volumes
I run into this occasionally. You actually have to do two steps. In ISMF 2.3 pull up the tapes ond change to SCRATCH to SCRATCH. In CA1 for the VOLSERs in error - run a TMSAUDIT, then run a TMSUPDTE and change the DSN, DSN17, NEXTVOL, to HEXZEROS If you do not do both, then they still have the error. I am not sure if NAVIQUEST will do the scratch status in batch. But that is what you would run for ISMF in batch. If you are not on CA1 V11.5 SP3 or higher - you might want to get there. CA has pointed me to a PTF at that level that helps with this issue. Lizette > > Hello all, I have a question.

Question on SDSF/JES2
I have run into a situation. I think I know what caused it, but I'm just not using the right keyword to find it (in my SDSF manual). I have a JOB that is running, and in the STatus display (or DA), the STATUS field has PROT for this JOB. This means that I can't issue a Cancel (SDSF) for it. AND on the DA panel, it won't let me use "Y" (which generates an MVS STOP command). How do I remove "PROT" from its status? OR, where is this documented?

Re: rexx to get storgrp
You need to add SMSINFO to get the SMS information returned (X =
"LISTDSI(DSN) SMSINFO"). But this doesn't give you the Storgrp.
Operator command D SMS,VOLUME(volser) will return the Storgrp name for
"volser", but I couldn't tell you how to get the response into a REXX.

Re: zPCR and z/OS 1.7
I believe if you check with IBM that the z/10 will only support z/OS 1.7 under an extended service agreement. z/OS 1.7 should've been EOL back in September.

We want to do a study on upgrading to a z10BC still with z/OS 1.7 initially. We were in the process of installing z/OS 1.9 last year and ran into a problem with a down level VTS we had. We've now upgraded the VTS and are in the process of converting all the tapes from the old to the new system. Once that gets completed we'll be install z/OS 1.9. However, the upgrade to the z10BC might take place before then. I have a couple of questions the esteemed experts on this board can probably answer. 1. I just downloaded version C5.2b of zPCR so I can get the tables for the z10 processors. However, it doesn't look like there is anyway to analyze a system that is running z/OS 1.7. Under the "Single-Image Capacity" tab there is z/OS 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, and 1.9, but it skips z/OS 1.7. What's with that? 2. Will z/OS 1.7 run on the z10BC processor? I don't feel that we've received a good answer concerning that from our IBM (actually Sirius) rep. The answer is "sort of".

Re: z10 toleration maintenance
Subject: Re: z10 toleration maintenance We have six zos 1.7 systems three on a z890 and three on a z9 we have applied the toleration for the z10 on the z890 systens since we will be replacing the z890 with the z10 all six Systems are in a sysplex do we have to apply the z10 maintenance onto the z9 zos 1.7 systems It is unlikely to be *NECESSARY* to apply the z10 maint to the z/OS 1.7 systems. IMO, it is highly desirable to do so! One of the design points for a parallel sysplex was to allow for just that situation, but what if some PHB decides to move the LPARs around? One of the rules I have always followed in my multi-system career, is that everything should be the same, except where required to be different. Another rule I have followed is to routinely apply device support and toleration/fallback maintenance as it becomes available (even if I don't plan to go to that release). When the new box (or OS) rolls in, there is nothing to do except load and go!
