T-Rex replacement
Hi, We are planning two replace two z890 with one z10BC with a capacity equivalent to the two z890’s. T-Rex is currently licensed on only one z890, and Dino software want a hefty upgrade fee. Can anyone recommend a replacement for T-Rex. We use it for catalog backups and for getting rid of various orphaned files.

If you have Mark Zelden's REXX IPLINFO you can look at the system after the IPL and see whether or not MLPA was used, what SVCs are there, and so on to ensure the parts are correct at IPL.

Re: ABEND=SFCA during IMS10 installation (

Re: ABEND=SFCA during IMS10 installation (
And one last thought. Why did you code the SVC statement in 2 lines. I was not aware you could do that, I did not see any information on continuation lines for SVCxx. In the MVS Init and Tuning it states If you use multiple SVCPARM statements for the same SVC number, the first valid statement is processed. The rest are ignored. Which could mean that you are not truly getting a TYPE2 SVC but a maybe something else. Try putting SVC00 to use one line for your svcs and reipl. See if that makes a difference. Lizette Just a simple question. In SVC00 I am not sure, but should the SVC numbers be in order? I always have mine from 200 to 255 in sequence.

Re: Library Lookaside
For those who have played with directory caching of non-load libraries, you must not be using PDSEs. It would not work. I can't speak for what someone who does not own this component stated about its behavior in the past, I can only speak towards what its (unchanged) implementation is. Non-load-library PDSEs have never been accepted. Since the creation of PDSEs, LLA has had code that determines if a PDSE is a load library according to whatever criteria DFSMS uses to classify it as such. If a PDSE is not marked as a load library, LLA will reject it. Consider a PDSE that is something like VB 255 and contains CLISTs. LLA will reject this PDSE with a message such as SY1 CSV242I INVALID DATA SET ORGANIZATION FOR LLA DSN: RELSON.CLIST.PDSE From the book: Explanation: Library lookaside (LLA) received a request to manage sequential data set dsname or partitioned data set extended (PDSE) data-only library dsname. LLA manages only partitioned data sets (PDSs), or partitioned data sets extended (PDSEs) that contain program objects Could that restriction be lifted? Maybe. But doing so would likely require at least a user-group-submitted requirement.

Re: Are compression services (CMPSERVS) eligible for zIIP/zAAP execution?
-Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Russell Witt Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2009 11:32 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Are compression services (CMPSERVS) eligible for zIIP/zAAP execution? Peter, Just because a service can be eligible for a zIIP does not mean it will be offloaded to one if you obtain a zIIP processor. There are the environmental restrictions. The eligible workload must be run in an SRB enclave that is identified as being zIIP eligible. If the batch job that is doing a lot compression is a home-grown utility, you may have a hard time getting it zIIP eligible. If the batch job is executing a Strobe utility, then you will need to check with the Strobe people to find out if they have made it zIIP eligible or not. I guess I did not make the situation clear enough. This application does not directly use compression calls, but the sequential and VSAM files that it reads and writes have an assigned DATACLAS that puts them in Extended, Compressed SMS pools. So the compression and decompression are being done by the operating system, not by the application. CMPSERVS is the portion of the operating system that is performing these functions on behalf of the application. I see these routines named in the Strobe performance report. They are not part of Strobe, they are part of the operating system. For this application, as measured by Strobe, they are consuming 52% of the used CPU time. So, my question is, are the operating system compression/decompression routines eligible for zIIP/zAAP execution, if such engines are available?

Re: Seperate LPARs for Prod and Test or a single LPAR for both
Hi team, There are more PROs when having separated LPARs for Test and Prod, the most important is that you can test products, configurations, home made applications and more in the TEST Lpar without disturbing the customer service in the PROD Lpar, also you can migrate/upgrade the OS without shutting down the production lpar. Most companies have this minimal configuration with separated LPARs, also, if you have enough memory and processor, should be better to have 3 LPARs, (TEST,CERT,PROD), the CERT LPAR is for certification purposes.

Sub Capacity Reporting for non IBM Vendors
For a non-IBM vendor that does sub-capacity licensing how do you get the data to them? Send them the SCRT .csv file? Send them a number and hope they trust you? Do they actually alter the charges on a monthly basis? If using SCRT data is it product specific (e.g. for a DB2 tool you use SCRT data for DB2) or just based on overall (e.g. z/OS) usage? Or is it some other method altogether? I have a new vendor that I asked the question of sub-capacity licensing and they want me to provide more details on the model. They are unfamiliar with SCRT and sub-capacity/workload licensing but are willing to listen. I have to admit that I currently do not have sub-capacity/workload pricing on any non-IBM products so I just want to get a feel for how it normally works.

TEST geographically separate from PROD
The whole combined versus separate TEST and PROD LPARs was interesting. I can't imagine not having them separate (with shared DASD for at least the load libraries), but then it's just what I'm used to. So here's a question... Anyone out there have DEV/TEST not only in a separate LPAR, or even a separate machine, but in a separate data center? We have our primary data center in Lakewood, CO (near Denver) and our alternate data center (DR site) in Scottsdale, AZ. So about 1000 miles apart. Management has the idea that we should move the applications development LPAR to the ADC. As an applications developer this makes me more than a bit nervous. Does anyone do this? Is a GDPS essentially required to make this workable? We currently do DASD replication to our ADC using DS8100s. One other thing I'm concerned about is TN3270 response time. I feel that logging on to work from home is too slow, and I only live 8 miles away.

Also there is or was Softworks Catalog Solutions (formerly VSAM Mechanic). I haven't heard much about that one in a while and not sure if it is still around or was sold / renamed. We sure CR+, but I think T-REXX has a good product also. Perhaps you can negotiate a LPAR pricing deal with then. In other words, only pay for the LPAR(s) you run it on based on their size and not the entire box. If they know you are going to replace them, they may be more open to doing so.

Re: TEST geographically separate from PROD
So here's a question... Anyone out there have DEV/TEST not only in a separate LPAR, or even a separate machine, but in a separate data center? We have our primary data center in Lakewood, CO (near Denver) and our alternate data center (DR site) in Scottsdale, AZ. So about 1000 miles apart. Management has the idea that we should move the applications development LPAR to the ADC. As an applications developer this makes me more than a bit nervous. Does anyone do this? Is a GDPS essentially required to make this workable? We currently do DASD replication to our ADC using DS8100s. I have seen this done. The actual decision to support a remote development site is more of a financial one than anything else. A GDPS is a consideration only if the application availability demands it. Separate sites can work fine in this situation. IMO, one of the *BIG* requirements to a successful implementation of this type is communications band width. Not only for the teleprocessing traffic, but also for file transfers and (in the case of GDPS) DASD replication. WARNING Will Robinson WARNING High bandwidth communication can get *VERY* expensive. One other thing I'm concerned about is TN3270 response time. I feel that logging on to work from home is too slow, and I only live 8 miles away. This is probably a function of your ISP and/or dial-up connection. Remote access in these days and times is nearly as good as local access. -- 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: Sub Capacity Reporting for non IBM Vendors
It would depend on the vendor. I assume that you are currently on VWLC (i.e. sub-capacity) pricing with your IBM software, so you're alreay sending the SCRT reports to IBM. We also have a sub-capacity pricing license with one of our vendors and we just copy them on the SCRT reports. Since the product is an always running, system level product they base their charges on the z/OS MSUs reported, not any of the sub-system MSUs. We don't have one with SAS, but I know their model is that you'd run SAS on a smaller LPAR and they charge you for the size of the LPAR. So, as I said, it depends on the vendor. It the vendor that you're discussing this with hasn't done it before, you're breaking new ground with them. Good luck.

I have to admit that I currently do not have sub-capacity/workload pricing on any non-IBM products so I just want to get a feel for how it normally works. IBM SCRT does not support ISV products. Period. Some ISVs have been able to get customers to agree to tie certain ISV products to SCRT-supported IBM products. For example, they could agree to tie some IMS tool from the ISV to IMS from IBM. With this agreement in place, the same SCRT report sent to IBM can also be sent to the ISV. This works because IMS is supported by SCRT. Some customers will not agree to this marriage. Suppose a customer wants to run the ISV IMS tool in only a subset of LPARs running IMS. Now, the SCRT reports become worthless unless the customer is willing to perform a second SCRT run that includes SMF records from only the subset of LPARs on which the ISV IMS tool is licensed. Multiply this extra work by potentially dozens of ISV products and this can become a considerable burden on the customer. There are people within IBM that would like to enhance SCRT to be able to handle non-IBM products. With just a little bit of work, SCRT's hard-coded product tables could be externalized and generalized and SCRT could be made to produce different sub-reports for different vendors--IBM being just one. But, this work needs justification like all development projects. If customers thought this was an important, and submitted a requirement, this might happen. Otherwise, it's unlikely... -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 5200 W Century Blvd, Suite 800 Los Angeles, CA 90045 310-338-0400 x318 edja...@phoenixsoftware.com http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ -- 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: TSSO use of NETVIEW
First of all I should say thank you to Gerhard Postpischil for providing some helpful background as to what TSSO is all about. Gerhard has sent me a private message expressing umbrage over my post and accusing me of not reading his post - the usual symptom of someone who has actually failed to read the post about which he/she is commenting! In case there are others who haven't understood, I'd better spell it out. The relative cost of NetView/NCCF and TSSO are not relevant. What is relevant is function. I did *not* - repeat ***not*** - intend to imply that NCCF - and early NetView - had automation capabilities comparable to those TSSO appears to have had. That is what that cost comparison comment implies - but Gerhard has not to be able to see. In the days of NCCF - and I think NOSP before it - and the first release of NetView, a semi-automation capability existed after the clist language was introduced. I describe it as semi-automation in that the operator had to keep an eye out for unsolicited messages betokening a problem. He/she then had to enter the name of the clist and commands could be issued - with name substitution from clist operands. If any delay was necessary, the operator could be instructed for which solicited messages to look out and what new clist commands to enter. Crude or what? It would appear that during these dark days, TSSO offered a cleverer way which included actually trapping messages and entering commands fashioned by the information trapped - if I have understood the TSSO of the early '80s correctly. Turning to my post - *in full* - I used the crucial word insist, the significance of which escaped Gerhard. Clearly TSSO could be used independently of this NCCF product with its hobbled automation capabilities [1]. TSSO is described as allowing itself to be invoked from NCCF/NetView as a command processor, that is, TSSO has been extended to use one of the APIs which characterised NCCF - and the command facility component of NetView - as an enabling environment. Thus TSSO could be used even where the installation's style was to insist or require that *all* automation be performed from within NCCF or NetView. The short period referred to the time from TSSO being available as an NCCF command processor to the time when everything that TSSO could do could also be done using NetView's native functions which - if my presentation notes are to be believed - happened with NetView V1R2. Actually, it's possible that period was not so short. It could be something like 1980 to 1987, my guessed dates for NCCF (V1R2?) offering command processors to NetView V1R2. I hope that clears up any confusion - or maybe just adds to it! Chris Mason [1] Fortunately I retain my presentations on the topic of NetView clists and I see that a level of automation which I believe can be compared to that possible with TSSO appears in NetView V1R2 with the introduction of the message automation table. Since this is not NetView V1R1, I have to copy the hobbled adjective to NetView from NCCF.

In other words there may have been a short period in the history of NCCF/NetView when TSSO offered the cleverest way - maybe the only way - decently to automate MVS, that is, better than using the internal reader for commands and a wait program. The first version of TSSO appeared not too long after TSO. I am not certain who the original author was, but recall seeing Bill Godfrey's name in the documentation. That version allowed the operators to issue (some) TSO commands from a console. In the mid or late seventies, Marc Share at Bell Labs presented an updated version that provided the capability to intercept console messages, and take some action (message, OS command, etc.); the nice part was the extraction by position or word count from the message, and insertion into an MVS or TSO command. When I was at AMS, and several later centers, I used this to automate just about everything possible (e.g., VTAM line and terminal error recovery, deletion of unwanted messages, etc.). IIRC, the early versions of NETVIEW/NCCF were a chargeable item, so TSSO was it. And it certainly was more flexible than (the early) linked exits, because it was table driven and the tables could be reloaded on the fly. Gerhard Postpischil Bradford, VT

Re: TEST geographically separate from PROD
Hi Frank, Usually and is the way i've used, in the same location, separated machines for prod and test. But, having them in separated location, maybe due to costs or DR, i mean, DR locations are normaly used only when the main location is being affected due to a disaster, so the DR machine is not being used when normal operations. Due to the costs related to having a DR machine, i think is correct to use it for development or testing purposes when is not being used for real DR or DR tests. 7 years ago, i worked for an American company with 5 mainframes, 2 for development and DR purposes and the other 3 for production, all of them in separated locations, this is normal in several big companies, specially in application development companies. Related to the TN3270, no matter how far or near you are from your work, the response time depends on the connection speed, as an example, if you are connected at 1 mile from your work using an old dialup modem, then the response time will be slow, but if you are connected at the other side of the world using a 1Gb or T1 connection, then the response time will be fast. So i suggest you to check your connection speed, also check how much people is being connected using the same connection. Luck.

Re: TEST geographically separate from PROD
I think we did that at one place I worked in the ME. There were TEST and PROD LPARs in the main centre, but there were other TEST and DR LPARs located a few hundred kliks at our secondary data centre. Generally, I don't think you have to have that much separation for pure TEST/PROD, but I think it's vital to have DR several hundred miles apart (I like the 1000 mile sep) and then using the DR site for TEST LPAR processing that supports the main site (leaving more room for PROD processing on the main iron). If you're logon is too slow, is it your system or is it your home service? I've got a cable modem with 30 meg/sec and logons to remote sites on either coast is pretty darn good! I use GoToMyPC for some sites, but even on the regular ones I've never had a problem. If you've got DSL, that might be the problem. Either that, or your front-end at the office is configured in such a manner that you have to go through a zillion hoops to authenticate. Hope this helps. Many thanks.

Re: CLIST/REXX Library Formats
The rational choices are (IMHO) FB/80 or VB/255. 1. FB/255 makes no sense. 2. I tend to stick with FB/80 due to the use of ISPF edit -and- Mod 2/3/4 3270 emulation.

Re: Use of RETAIN
The originally specified JCL isn't exactly correct. If you were to call for a 2nd tape sometime before reaching file 10, the system would try to place that file on the 1st (full) tape, due to the way this refer-back is coded. Also, if allowed, there would be gaps in the file numbers (such as file 10 following file 8 with no file 9 present). The correct specification would be to refer back to the DD for the previous file on the tape.

Re: CLIST/REXX Library Formats
I think the Lrecl80 came from the punch card days. The people I worked with back in 1980 preferred the 80 byte record because they came from punch cards. That plus the ease of seeing everything on one screen without having to scroll back and forth was great. But those days were more due to the limits of the terminals. I do not recall when we were able to go from the 24x80 screen to mod3/mod4/mod5. But that would be one reason many prefer the Lrecl80. With the advances of screen szie (162x??) you could see more at one time than before. I really do not think it was ever a standard, just a preference. IBM would ship some products clists (like DB2's) in both formats and you could choose which one you liked to use. My preference is still 80 byte, but I can always adapt to 255.

Re: CLIST/REXX Library Formats
Clists use to parse to the end of the record. One could enter a command on a line followed by comments, and clist would still parse to the end of record. Back in the day, VB performed better. With VLF, it pretty much doesn't matter. You indicated VLF is not a consideration so it really comes down to personal preference. I think VB is a PITA, so I never use it. IBM, and most vendors, ship FB format for Rexx and clists. If you like VB, and don't need to concatenate with FB, there is no compelling reason to change.

Re: CLIST/REXX Library Formats
VB 255 gives you more flexibility, I just find that long character strings are easier to code if you can use the whole 255 bytes. So many times have novices asked me why their REXX was failing and it was sequence numbers in 73-80. Can still happen for VB 255 but always seems to be that folks don't look in 73-80 because they can't see it without scrolling right on a standard terminal display. But having said that, my REXX lib is FB 80, for no good reason :) I also use some R4 REXX and Notepad doesn't care about FB 80.

Re: Use of RETAIN
I agree with John, make the referback always to the previous step. When I was doing a lot of tape stacking, I also had a placeholder dataset for the first one on the initial tape. I would generate the JCL using a REXX to build the STEPNAME referback name and build a new job at step 255. Use of an instream PROC also makes the JCL more streamlined, make the referback a PROC JCL PARM. I have a feeling that if you only refer back to label 1, when a new volume is mounted, the job fails... On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 7:08 AM, John Laubenheimer jlaubenhei...@doitt.nyc.gov wrote: The originally specified JCL isn't exactly correct. If you were to call for a 2nd tape sometime before reaching file 10, the system would try to place that file on the 1st (full) tape, due to the way this refer-back is coded. Also, if allowed, there would be gaps in the file numbers (such as file 10 following file 8 with no file 9 present). The correct specification would be to refer back to the DD for the previous file on the tape.
