Re: What to use to find tape utilization?
Actually, that will depend on the TAPEMAP utility. Some (the one included with the CA-1/Copycat and CA TLMS/Copycat utitilies for example) will actually get the physical tape position from the device at the end of each file to give an accurate position map of all files on the tape. But you are correct, based strictly on the amount of data written does nothing to determine how much of the tape has been used; not since IDRC was introduced.

You do realize, though, that while TAPEMAP can tell you how much data is on a tape, but it won't (AFAIK) be able to tell you how much of the tape is utilized, right? The only way to tell how much space is left on the tape, is to ask the tape drive, and I believe (though I could be wrong) that can only be done when the tape is positioned at end-of-data.

TCP Settings for KeepAlive
I've run into a problem where I have TN3270 sessions attached to a VTAM session manager. The problem is this: When the system, where the VTAM session manager is running, is at 100% for extended periods (5 minutes or more), AND, you have a TSO session on the system where the session manager is, AND that TSO session attempts to run a long running task (Endevor update to promote source is an example), the TSO session will continue to run, BUT the TN3270 session will be timed-out and dropped. In this case the TN3270 is QWS3270 Plus. In tracing this, we see that QWS is posted with a lost connection. However, QWS is running the TCP keep alive at about a 5 minute interval. And the last thing that QWS shows is it sent a buffer to the host and is now waiting for a response when it gets this lost connection posting. I have been looking at the z/OS Comm Server manuals (even searching them) and I don't see anything that needs to be changed in the configuration. I have looked at various APARs (particularly the ones about IMS and additional keepalive support from 1.7 and later). But I don't see anything that seems to apply. The other thing about this that is interesting, those running Hummingbird don't seem to have this drop problem. And this is something that I can recreate at will. Note: TSO is not timing out. This is specifically a TCP connection termination issue that is timing related. It takes the z/OS system (1.8) going to 100% busy for 5 minutes or longer. And, while this is happening, I can be directly connected to other MVS or VM systems and they are not affected. So anyone have any idea where I need to look in the config parms for TCP (or VTAM?).

ObAnecdote: In 1992 or so, we got our first Internet connection (9600BPS dialup, despite VP of Engineering asking, Who would we talk to?). I got to set up DNS on VM. We had no DNS on our LAN, so I wanted to make VM the primary.

Re: DFRMM - CATSYNCH
Bob, No it cannot. Whether you run with or without VERIFY it uses the live CDS and live catalogs. When using VERIFY - nothing is changed, so there is no need to run on a copy. Review the messages issued and through those determine whether its your catalogs that are wrong or rmm. If it is rmm - run CATSYNCH, else use the messages to determined which catalog entries need added. rmm will never touch the catalogs during this. If you dont like the results of CATSYNCH and are using OPTION CATSYSID(*), you can run EDGUTIL UPDATE with SYSIN statement ' CONTROL CATSYNCH(NO)' and rmm continues using catalog locates.

Re: TCP Settings for KeepAlive
True: we are searching for what drive the lost session disconnect. But I would not limit my search to the host. Network appliances/firewalls can be configured to do things like this. What does not fit in this scenario is that other TN3270 clients are not having the problem. That would point back to QWS as being the unique factor in the equation. That said, we cannot assume that all are following the same network path (and thus chain of network appliances/firewalls).

Re: TCP Settings for KeepAlive
Steve, The first thing I'd do is to check system performance group settings. Is your session manager task running in a performance group at least as high as VTAM and TCPIP? If the system is 100% CPU busy and either one or all three tasks (VTAM, TCPIP, SessMgr) get starved for CPU cycles and cannot respond to each other in a timely fashion, I'd say, all bets are off and you'll begin to see strange things happen.

If you are going to use IPMAILERNAME you must specify RESOLVERUSAGE YES. Otherwise the SNMP daemon will not try to resolve the name. But you may not want to do this. In my previous shop (as set up by me) and my current shop (as set up by others) we used IPMAILERADDRESS and (once the parm became available) RESOLVERUSAGE NO because of problems introduced by RESOLVERUSAGE YES. We are reeducating ourselves on the topic because we could not remember what those problems were. As I read it you may have trouble even if the name is resolved. If you enable the SMTP daemon's name resolution it will not only resolve names, it will also attempt to get mail exchange (MX) records from the name server and try to send emails to mail transfer agent (MTA) closest to the recipient rather than sending the emails to the mailer you defined. If either end has firewalls or access lists in place they very likely will prevent your use of those remote MTAs. There does not seem to be any way to tell the z/OS SMTP daemon to resolve the mail of your defined mailer and use it for all outbound mail. IBM is providing a new SMTP daemon (with z/OS 1.11?). Hopefully they will have addressed this problem by then.

Memory allocation
Hello all, I have written an mq security exit for z/os in assembler that works pretty well. What I would like to add is the capability to use persistent memory. I tried to allocate memory from SUBPool 131 and 132. I received a not authorized error. I have my module in an authorized loadlib and linked with AC=1. I looked at CPool, and Hyperstorage as an option but found them very confusing. Not for the light of heart anyway. I like using the obtain because it seems simple enough. Can anyone help me figure out how to allocate persistent memory?

Re: IBM Software Secure Support via USA Citizens
now I have a story I can tell about the er... um... *thoroughness* of the
Canadian border authorities ...
Unfortunately, even before the heightened awareness (post-9/11), Canadian
Customs Agents had the reputation of being the rudest in the world.
Odd, considering that, in general, Canadians are considered some of the
politest people in the world (with some exceptions -- (8-{]}).

Re: Tape management system discussion

Re: TCP Settings for KeepAlive
Yes, the common item to this problem is the Session manager. We were just discussing this among ourselves just a few minutes ago. If QWS is connected directly to the TSO APPLIDs (as opposed to going through the session manager first), then these timeouts do not happen. However, because of a few other things that were discussed, I am starting to think there is a problem with QWS. The problem is, proving what is the problem and how to solve it.

But I would not limit my search to the host. Network appliances/firewalls can be configured to do things like this. What does not fit in this scenario is that other TN3270 clients are not having the problem. That would point back to QWS as being the unique factor in the equation. That said, we cannot assume that all are following the same network path (and thus chain of network appliances/firewalls). Another thought: Have you tried connecting directly to the host and bypassing the session manager?

PKA functions only deal with small data chunks?
Hello folks, I am posting this one from office. I am doing some ICSF programming reasearch and figured out that the subset of PKA functions that allow me to cipher or decipher using assimetric keys are quite limited due the data length that can be supplied. By example, the CSNDPKE function encrypts the supplied parameter 'keyvalue' which size is given with the variable 'keyvalue_length'. This variable has a maximum field size of 256 bytes. So I assume that I may only do assimetric encription with small data chunks. Is that right? There is no other possibility? -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: Tape management system discussion
Hmm. If that's true, wouldn't you also say that you REALLY need to know EARL to use CA1? We use RMM here and our operations people interface through the panels and do everything they need to do. Perhaps we don't utilize enough of the available functions in RMM for me to appreciate how much REXX knowledge might be required. Just my $0.02.. Greg Shirey Ben E.
