Antwort: Re: WLM and TCPIP
Dave, I had a similar problem with appl environments which were not defined in WLM. Since then I'm sensitive to this set of problems. No, I'm not sure it's TCPIP alone. What I see is that PING times go up when capping starts and RMF3 shows big (processor)delays for TCPIP. Werner Are you positive it's not a spawned task that's causing the slowness ??? Something that's being assigned service lower than SYSSTC ??? This sounds a lot like the FTP slowness we were experiencing. That turned out to be a stupid oversight of not having a workload type for OMVS. TCP/IP and the FTP daemon were running in SYSSTC, but none of the spawned tasks were. Everything that should have been assigned a service class based on the OMVS type ended up being assigned the default service class for the interactive workload. Unless it runs very fast, it drops into secondand third period service fairly quickly. I would expect a ping to reply very quickly, but if your WLM defaults are very low service, it may not have a chance. -- 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

IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu schrieb am 02.02.2010 05:34:46: 30% of what? What is 100%? Velocity for an exvel goal. And I even found the rule in the Planning WLM book: Certain types of work, when overachieving their goals, potentially will have their resources capped in order to give discretionary work a better chance to run. Specifically, work that is not part of a resource group and has one of the following two types of goals will be eligible for this resource donation: -A velocity goal of 30 or less -A response time goal of over one minute Which does not apply to sysstc needing cpu. But it might explain why something of higher priority can run slower than discretionary. The highest exvel I've used so far is 30 for the online workload (IMS, DB2). If I want limit donations from that online workload so I should define a higher exvel than 30? Do you run subsys=IMS? (Idle curiosity on my part, since we can't.) Yes, we run subsys=ims with response time goals. Your CPU capping hits when? During the day, I presume, when there isn't too much batch running? Which would mean that your discretionary pool to 'donate' isn't all that big, so higher priority work gets starved. Capping starts usually at late morning (11:00), we come out of the night with a low 4h-avg and batch pushes it up. It's not a question of how many jobs are running. Even one or two can use lots of CPU. I don't mind if higher prio work is assigned less resources under capping, but not SYSSTC and SYSTEM. A delay of 75 for TCPIP is not acceptable. We did pings and tracerte from our PC to the mainframe (including a WAN of 1000km) and found out that only the segment from Mainframe to the first router has bad response times. Does that include the time it resided *in* the mainframe? Or just when it left the mainframe? I think when a PING is a response from TCPIP then it includes the time in mainframe. Additionally we saw those dramatic increases of resp time always when capping was turned on. And RMF3 shows delays up to 70% for TCPIP for processor even under SYSSTC. Who is using the processor when TCPIP has delays? Mainly the batch jobs (DISCRETIONARY).

That's how my odd exvel31 came about. I don't mind if higher prio work is assigned less resources under capping, but not SYSSTC and SYSTEM. A delay of 75 for TCPIP is not acceptable. well, it might help if you bump up the exvel30 to exvel31. That *should* prevent discretionary from running. I think when a PING is a response from TCPIP then it includes the time in mainframe. I'll take your word for that. Who is using the processor when TCPIP has delays? Mainly the batch jobs (DISCRETIONARY). I think the 'function' I meant is blocked workload support (oa17735, oa22443 to change the default). For 1.9 and up it is enabled by default, which would also explain a lower priority address space running when sysstc is not. That might run counter to an exvel goal of 31. Actually, at the time of capping (and tcpip NOT running), do you have service classes with a PI of less than 3? Less than 1? Did this come up because of complaints of slow tcpip response?

In some cases yes we need to do some help, but again try to do the less possible. In my understand normally VTAM and TCPIP need to have high priority like JES2, on the system that normally I can work I always use this tasks SYSSTC. IBM has some free tools that help with WLM and others parms, didn't forget that IEAOPT it is important in current days and help WLM. Wrong parms in IEAOPT you can have bad performance.

Not yet. Do you see any advantage defining them? I have been using them since we migrated to WLM Goal mode. And yes, I find it really interesting what ends up in SYSSTC (and SYSTEM). The SYSTEM rule is my second in subsys STC, and I might need to change that now that we don't have report classes anymore (and make it first), and SYSSTC is my last rule in subsys STC. Just about anyone who makes itself PRIV or SYST in SCHEDxx ends up there (the monitors of any ilk at the forefront). And given that it is considered more important to get the work done than to (cpu intensively) monitor why it doesn't get done when there is not enough cpu to go around, this really helped me to reclassify STCs lower than they would like to be (take them out of sysstc). I run the monitors at the priority of the adress space they're supposed to monitor (*if* I was told to classify at all.

Re: ACS routines and OMVS
I translated and ACTIVATE'd twice. Once to add OMVSGRP snd then to
change the exit value. I'll check with a D SMS command when I get back
in a bit later today. I'm pretty sure that's the only place in the
routine I issue that exact error message, ut I'll check that also.
It's a sandbox, so I can see if IPL makes a difference. Since I've

Subject: ACS routines and OMVS
I'm working on setting up automount for ordinary users under
/u
My ACS routines was coded to not allow the storage class
specified under
the OMVSGRP. I changed and activated the ACS routine (and
changed
the
value of the exit code).
It appears that the new ACS routines are not taking
effect in the
OMVS world. I get the same error message with the same exit
code.
Is there something I missed? It shouldn't take an IPL to
change
ACS
routines mop matter what the environment.
Dave Gibney
What do you mean by the OMVS world? My automount for users
(/etc/home.map) looks like:
name *
type ZFS
Filesystem TSSPV.HOME.SYSNAME..uc_name.ZFS
mode rdwr
allocuser space(20,10) cyl

Word documents) were prime paths for viruses to attack your system. I seem to be getting a lot more HTML emails these days and I got to wondering if technology has changed enough that the probability of this kind of email being malicious has dropped to extremely small.

They must use Thunderbird, or some other NON M/S email client. IE is uninstalled or disabled. They must use Firefox, Netscape (back when it was a viable system), Opera, etc. And I suggested Coyote Linux for a firewall. The clients that followed those rules seemed to not have malicious code problems. And now that Linux is at the level of W/2K and W/XP (for the GUI and most user applications), I've been migrating desktops to OPENSuSE 10.3 (was when I started this) up through 11.2. And I practice what I preach. I have migrated everything that I can to Linux and only run Wine for a few things that I can't find a Linux equivalent for. So I can now accept HTML email and not worry a lot about ActiveX having problems, or some .DOC file being infected, etc. I have yet to see an attack vector through Open Office's spreadsheet as I see with XL under Windows. It doesn't mean that there isn't one, just that I know of no such. Here in our offices we have been loaded to the gills with antivirus code, Exchange set with filters to prevent this or that being attached to emails, etc. And we still see a laptop with an infection from time to time.

Re: WLM
When setting up CICS you would normally place the CICS regions into a velocity service class as you have done. In determining the velocity of a service class, WLM samples the service class periodically and evaluates the velocity as (no. of using samples)/(no. of using samples + no. of waiting samples). This means using CPU or I/O. So the execution velocity can be thought of as a type of throughput measurement. Now you have to decide whether you're going to control your CICS processing via the execution velocity goal or via a response time goal. Many shops control their production CICS via a response time goal and their test CICS via the velocity goal. To control via a response time goal you need to set up another service class with either an average response time goal (not recommended) or a percentage response time goal. The percentage response time goal says you want xx% of the transactions to finish within a certain time peroid. Then you define your CICS transactions to this class. That can be done using one of several different methods such as the tran ID, APPLID, etc. (see the MVS Planning Workload Management, SA22-7602-15). Once you do that the velocity goal for the regions is only used when there are no transactions going through them. Once there are transactions then the response time goals kick in. If you want to control completely by the velocity goal then don't set up the response time service class. If you have just 1 or 2 regions that you want to control via the velocity goal only then when defining them to the STC subsystem enter the region name. Then scroll 2 screens to the left. There you'll see a column for controlling by transaction response or region. Just enter REGION into this field. You really should not have other started tasks in the same service class as your CICS regions, especially if your using response time goals. That's because WLM will treat the CICS regions with response time goals differently than the other STCs. WLM actually ignore the velocity goal for those regions when transactions are processing through them. At the very least this will mess up your reporting values.

Re: ACS routines and OMVS
This must be a user error of some kind, although I don't know where since we can't see everything you are doing and your entire ACS routine. But I tried several tests (using zFS) - changing my auto.map and also SMS routines in my sandbox. Everything worked as expected. So my guess is that an IPL won't fix this, but we'll see. BTW, in my test I didn't assign anything but a name (which I changed) in my auto.map. I let the ACS routine control the STORCLAS based on the name.

Re: OT (?): Are HTML emails unsafe
Steve, I've been thinking about this, and I also saw Steve Thompson's post about it. I've been using Windows for years. I'm currently on Windows/XP thinking about going to version 7. I've also thought about getting a MAC because I do a lot of Photoshop editting and I've been told the MAC is great for that, but I'm an old dog and don't want to try and learn something new. Anyway, I've been getting HTML emails for several years now with no problems. I do run the lastest version of Norton and have the auto-update feature of it turned on. So I'm updated with the latest anti-virus protecting and other anti-malware stuff. I do think that the decision is a personal thing and has to do with how well your systems are protected.

I think IBM was vague about qualifying workloads when they introduced them, but they have since clarified much. I believe the IBM agreements everyone is bound by states if you run an unqualified workload on those engines, they can charge you for the entire engine at GP prices. That's a pretty pricey gamble. The courts may change that or maybe IBM will buy them out and share some of their capabilities with us.

Re: OT (?): Are HTML emails unsafe
Steve Comstock wrote: For years now I've configured my mail client to not accept HTML emails. The common wisdom, as I percieved it anyway, has been that HTML emails and various kinds of attachements (esp. Word documents) were prime paths for viruses to attack your system. I seem to be getting a lot more HTML emails these days and I got to wondering if technology has changed enough that the probability of this kind of email being malicious has dropped to extremely small. There's nothing inherent about HTML that makes it dangerous. The risks, such as they are: 1) About a decade ago, Outlook 97 would let HTML run scripted things that were theoretically unsafe. My IT manager sent me a note which, when opened, played a WAV file which said VERY LOUDLY, Hey everybody! I'm looking at pr0n over here! Funny, but of course in certain circumstances, very not. This was fixed LONG ago, quite possibly even as a patch to Outlook 97 (I saved that old note, and it no longer does any such thing). It's worth noting that many folks decided that Outlook was dangerous based on this ancient version; using that logic, Firefox is probably worse than IE, since early Netscape wasn't exactly the most secure browser ever. 2) HTML can embed graphics, which can be not-work-safe. Graphics can also be web bugs, which can tell the server from which the graphic is fetched the identify of the note that fetched it, using a customized URL such as: http://graphics.server.com/webbug.gif?userid=...@yourdomain.com The webserver is then configured to serve the graphic (or even not, actually) and it knows -- since it sent only ONE note with that precise query string -- who read the note (well, it thinks it does, anyway; obviously it could be postmas...@yourdomain.com or equivalent, or various 'bots, but). This is semi-evil with spam, as it can telegraph Hey, we got a live one! when email is sent using a dictionary attack. Solution: don't open spam, and don't load graphics by default (any modern email client makes loading graphics optional for senders who have not been marked as safe). 3) Links in HTML could be bogus -- it's easy to say Click on this URL: www.yourbank.com and have the visible link not match the actual URL. Again, modern mail clients deal with this by marking such links as invalid, or warning in some other way. 4) Finally, I suppose comments in HTML could contain unsafe words that will get you in trouble if you have net-nanny software. But it's incoming mail, not your fault; no company can reasonably penalize you on that basis! The bottom line is that HTML email is here to stay. Folks whine about it, but the scales tipped a while ago, and too many senders use it for it to be reasonable to NOT read it. Yes, there are folks who do; they're missing out on some things, alas. I get some lists as Digests, and the HTML parts aren't usable due to the Digest format -- and outnumber the plaintext parts. My $0.02: Using good antivirus protection, practicing smart email hygiene, and having one (or several) layers of good spam filtering will keep you out of trouble, and you can enjoy the benefits of HTML email with the rest of the world. Oh, and if you use Outlook, try Autopreview (NOT the preview pane, the thing that shows you the first couple of lines of unread/all email even before you open it), which is not only nice but can also help you detect spam. Autopreview only looks at the non-HTML MIME-part, so (a) it avoids even the remaining, minor risks and (b) when you *don't* see an Autopreview on a note, you know that there is only an HTML MIME-part (or the body is empty). This provides yet another layer of early warning that this might be a dangerous message, either because what the Autopreview shows you tells you the note isn't interesting, or because there IS no Autopreview when you suspect there should be. I've built these opinions over the last 30 years of email (not that I had to worry about spam for the first 15 or so!). I currently receive 200-300 notes a day. I have three layers of spam filtering: - my ISP marks things THEY think are SPAM with a keyword in the Subject: - Outlook does its silly (and almost useless) filtering - I have a Bayesian filter that I've trained (K9, www.keir.net, runs as a POP proxy), which adds a header that I can filter on Rules tag any incoming notes that have been marked as spam either by my ISP or my Bayesian filter with specific categories, and then move them to a spam folder for later analysis. One of the nice things about the Bayesian filter is that it lets me look at the raw note, so if I'm really suspicious of one, I can check it out safely. This might sound cumbersome -- but it really isn't. I glance a the spam folder a couple of times a day; with a customized view that includes who the note was sent *TO*, I can easily eliminate obvious spam. The one or two notes left are then equally easy to handle.
Re: REXX to delete all members of a PDS... serverpac CPPEDELM
I tried this REXX and found that it returns RC=8 for a LMMDEL for (*) as a member. The original author specified a member for each LMMDEL. Does this only work for later versions of z/OS? Curious. I already have some REXX to build the member list, so I can still use the technique. Anyone try this on z/OS 1.8?
