Re: IBM countersues Neon over zPrime accelerator
I believe I've got that from IBM, over a REGION= in a PROC in SAMPLIB. And don't many contain disclaimers that they're not supported? Well. It's enough to get almost any CBPDO installtion from IBM. Program Directory (supported one) says clearly: Use the following jobs ... form ABC.XYZ.F1. The jobs contain: REGION=4M for IEFBR14 - could the default be to small? REGION=4M for GIMSMP - it doesn't work! why? ;-) etc. etc. Last, but not least: different products have different approach for job customization. This is probably to keep our job more interesting, eve surprising. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland -- BRE Bank SA ul. Senatorska 18 00-950 Warszawa www.brebank.pl Sd Rejonowy dla m. st.

Well, ... ... it starts with BPX, which denotes it as belonging to the z/OS UNIX component. ... it is described in the z/OS UNIX Assembler Services Ref. ... it's description talks about process, process image, uid, gid, set-uid, etc. ... all this is related to UNIX. I have read that these services are part of the OS, and always available, whether or not the user has access to OMVS / HFS or not. All that may be required is that there is a 'default OMVS profile' for users that don't have their own OMVS user profile. I might be wrong here, but then I am in more trouble, because I have not found any alternative to BPX1EXM yet, that doesn't start with BPX. I wouldn't want the program to need write authority to the file system solely to create the external link. If I understood correctly, you're planning to deliver said program as part of your product. So, you'd need the customer to install it into the file system anyway, If what you said above is true then you are right, but, as I said, I am not conviced this is true. We want our customers to have a choice where to install the product, either in MVS datasets, or in the HFS. Apart form all that, I consider your idea of having different functions in separate load modules all having the identical load module name and only distinguish by library name a bit error prone. I as a customer would defninitely not like it. Here you have misunderstood my intentions: the load modules having the same name don't contain different functions; they are the same, apart from maybe their version. My program is to manage multiple installations of the same product, possibly different versions of them. This is why the load modules have the same name. ...why not just create the external link as part of the installation process; it needs to be done only once, doesn't it? We don't know at install-time how many existing installations there are, or where they are located, so creating these links would be something the user has to do himself manually, or that must be done by the program dynamically. So the external link option is interesting, and I will see how far I can get with that idea, but I don't think it is enough. But I would be very happy, if someone could explain why BPX1EXM doesn't pick up the STEPLIB environment variable when set with putenv(), setenv() or CEEENV(), because I still don't understand this Thanks, Etienne -- 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: BPX1EXM (execmvs) and STEPLIB
I have read that these services are part of the OS, and always available, whether or not the user has access to OMVS / HFS or not. Where did you read that? Sure, all BPX services are part of the OS, as are all the other services z/OS offers. Some, however, have some prerequisites in order to use them. All that may be required is that there is a 'default OMVS profile' for users that don't have their own OMVS user profile. If an installation has defined the BPX.DEFAULT.USER, which is what you need to do to define the OMVS default profile, then in fact there is no non-UNIX user anymore. All userids will be able to use z/OS UNIX services, either running with the default user's uid/gid or with their own. Here you have misunderstood my intentions: ... Ok, sorry about that. We don't know at install-time how many existing installations there are, or where they are located, so creating these links would be something the user has to do himself manually, or that must be done by the program dynamically. I'm afraid I don't understand the problem, yet. Assuming that you need to install this program somewhere in the filesystem, you would need only one copy, no matter how many existing installations there are. If this correct, you'll only need one single external link and it will be sitting just next to your program in the file system. There is no MVS load library name coded into the external link. This will have MVS search for your load module starting with your STEPLIB. As for the MVS loadlib version, you might need to code an assembler routine that a) dynamically allocates the load library you need and then b) use LINK wit the DCB= parameter. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse -- 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

All userids will be able to use z/OS UNIX services, either running with the default user's uid/gid or with their own. Great, exactly what I need: I can use the BPX services provided BPX.DEFAULT.USER is defined, or the users have their own Unix profile.

This will have MVS search for your load module starting with your STEPLIB. Ok, I thought the loadlib name had to be in the external link. If that is not the case, then you are right :-).

As for the MVS loadlib version, you might need to code an assembler routine that a) dynamically allocates the load library you need and then b) use LINK wit the DCB= parameter. If at all possible I want to stay away from assembler, because other people besides myself work on the same product for other platforms; they all know C but no-one knows MVS assembler.

Jack, I thought that SMS combined the primary and all of the secondaries to make the total allocation, not just the primary, Does it fail is you just give it a primary allocation? The primary plus all of the secondaries would equal the MAXSIZE value passed into the ACS routines. The primary allocation amount is always used for the first allocation. The problem was the small blocksize of 182 bytes was so inefficient that SMS needed to allocate more than 64K tracks to hold 1GB of data requested for primary amount. (69 * 182 = 12,558 bytes per track).

I like to generate the UID based on the user's main RACF group. The default connect group has a GID (which for us is a multiple of 1000). The UID for a user is the default group's GID + a number from 1..999. That way, I know from the UID which group the original owner was in, should the RACF id be deleted. What I need is a way to either delete UNIX files for a given user, or reassign the UID on them to something else, or pax them up into an archive. I know that the find command can do this, but scanning the entire filesystem, starting at root, is very time and I/O intensive. I guess that I really need is to only allow a person to create files in their home directory and have that be controlled by automount so that it is in its own zFS filesystem. But we're not at that point yet. And likely never will be, given what is going on with the company. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.

About ENQ - some basic questions
Hi, As I'm playing a bit with an ENQ-function, I wonder how ENQ's work when doing dynamic allocation. Normally - as I understand - an ENQ is always released when the (sub)task terminates (or doing DEQ). E g when doing an ENQ in a rexx it's released at exit. But if You e g do an allocation in the same rexx its ENQ is kept thru the entire TSO session or until You free the dataset. Does this mean that the ENQ in this case is assigned to the main task (TSO) or is there another mechanism in work ?

This is designed to allow the zFS file systems used for z/OS system software files (called version root file systems) to be cataloged using an indirect volume serial or a system symbol the same way as non-VSAM data sets to make cloning and migration easier. I hope the MOUNT command was also enhanced to include a VOLUME (VOLSER) keyword. That might imply support for uncatalogged zFS (or HFS) files, which I doubt there is since it would be uncatalogged VSAM in the case of zFS (which is not accessible). Since it will be cataloged, there should be no need to use VOLUME(volser). Without support for VOLSER on the MOUNT command, I expect that indirectly cataloging zFS files will be of little use. We'll still have to use the VOLSER in the zFS cluster name in order to be able to MOUNT it. Good point, but if they are all named uniquely, why would you need indirect cataloging at all? (isn't that how everyone does it today)? How would the new support enhance what you have today? I wonder if they will give more details at SHARE.

Re: Comparing - ISPF (3.12 and 3.13) with Comparex
SUPERC/E does not show you text differences beyond about byte 176. It cannot compare PDSE members. It can give you false positives when comparing load modules (binary compares). There is no equivalent of the Comparex IDentity capability to handle multiple record types in one file. SUPERC/E is reasonably good at text differences for reports and unstructured text like programming source, as long as the lines are not longer than 176 bytes. For a real data file compare substitute, consider InSync from Macro4 instead. They are nearly a complete Comparex substitute, IMHO lacking only the random key order comparison capability that Comparex provides, which you can avoid by pre-sorting the records to be compared. Highly recommended. And I can testify from personal experience that the Macro4 InSync development team does respond to enhancement requests. They actually listen to their customers.

Re: Hipersocket automated failover

There is also the matter that, given that HiperSockets operate purely as a function of the microcode within a particular Central Electronic Complex (CEC) or Central Processing Complex (CPC) and it is likely that your two HiperSocket LANs are driven by the same code using two different *data* areas to represent your two LANs, it will only be an unrecoverable hit to one of those *data* areas that could cause your LAN to fail.

From: howard.bra...@cusys.edu I was thinking, I don't know the difference between ISPF SPF anymore. Nor PDF. SPF is the old (original) name for ISPF, unless you're thinking of SPF/PC (which of course is an ISPF look-alike that runs on the PC). PDF is the 'Program Development Facility', which is basically an application that runs under ISPF. It has a menu where 1=View, 2=Edit, 3=Utilities (etc). Many people confuse PDF with ISPF, and don't realize PDF is simply an ISPF application. Other examples of ISPF applications include SDSF, SimpList, FileAid, home-grown ISPF dialogs, and so on. Adding to this confusion is the fact the 'ISPF main menu' is called the 'ISPF main menu', when really it should have been called the 'PDF main menu'. But then again, many shops customize the menu and add other applications to it (such as those I just mentioned), so I guess in a way it really is the 'ISPF main menu'.

Many people confuse PDF with ISPF, and don't realize PDF is simply an ISPF application. Other examples of ISPF applications include SDSF, SimpList, FileAid, home-grown ISPF dialogs, and so on. Adding to this confusion is the fact the 'ISPF main menu' is called the 'ISPF main menu', when really it should have been called the 'PDF main menu'. But then again, many shops customize the menu and add other applications to it (such as those I just mentioned), so I guess in a way it really is the 'ISPF main menu'. And pretty much, in most shops I've been in, I could enter any of the above and get the same result. -- 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

LE abend U4082-002
I think this abend is due to an abend during abend recovery. We had a very weird problem last night which resulted in this happening multiple times. The programmer got the job running by restoring a VSAM KSDS to a test dataset name (the data was from the actual production file) and pointing the step at that DSN. I have absolutely no idea why the program would abend with this code and then run successfully with what should have been identical data in a test DSN. Yes, the job did have access to the production DSN. The job had run OK on Saturday, but abended this morning. I got no dumps or anything to determine what went on. The programmer is convinced that the problem is not the program or the data, but with the DASD subsystem or OS software, somehow. I don't see that as likely, but cannot explain the abend.

I think you need to figure out what the underlying ABEND is. It might be something that is environmental and hence comes and goes. I think I once had one of these and it was due to stack exhaustion. LE didn't have enough stack to report the stack problem. There is an operand that lets you reserve some stack just for error handling.

z/OS 1.12 Preview: VSAM CA Reclaim
Each individual or site who reviews the IBM z/OS 1.12 Preview Announcement Letter will see features described that are of more or less significance to their own sites. It seems to me that one of the more broadly significant features previewed in today's announcement is that of CA Reclaim, which is apparently an enhancement to VSAM KSDS processing to automatically recognize and reclaim formerly used and now unused space within a VSAM KSDS data set. While I am not a VSAM expert, the classic problem I've seen in my career with VSAM as a data set access method is one where the use pattern of the data set is for a key to be ever-increasing, and the oldest records are deleted first. Such an ever-increasing key, as I understand it, causes space at the beginning of the data set to become unusable. VSAM KSDS applications that have this characteristic have the additional requirement of needing scheduled periodic downtime in order to perform housekeeping for the VSAM file. CA Reclaim can apparently eliminate this recurring downtime requirement. If this all works as it sounds, this will be a significant improvement that addresses a classic limitation of VSAM - one of long standing. Kudos to the IBM development team responsible for this enhancement!

Re: How stable is the Name/Token area mappings?
What if What if you created a fail safe routine that would attempt to detect whether your high performance access to your anchor is valid? For example, at product start-up, use standard name token services to save something, and then try to find it using the high performance method you found. If you correctly found what you just saved, seems to me you're safe for at least the life of the IPL and can use the high performance method freely. If you do NOT find what you saved, you could simply have your product shut down with a message z/OS release x.y not supported - contact vendor. Or, you could issue a highlighted message and use the slower documented name token service. I've no idea what sort of product or application your query is related to, so these thoughts may not help. But, your high performance interface does not sound like a documented interface, so a defensive coding technique might be the best way to proceed and still achieve the high performance you want.

IBM Announces DB2 10 for z/OS Beta Program
IBM is announcing availability of a beta version of DB2 10 for z/OS (5605-DB2): http://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_ca/5/897/ENUS210-015/ENUS210-015.PDF Planned availability is March 12, 2010. Ask your IBM representative if you are interested in participating in this beta program, which is available only to select clients. Here are some of the themes for this important new version: * Efficiency gains. For traditional workloads you may see 5 to 10% CPU savings, and up to 20% for non-traditional workloads. That's out-of-the-box. There are numerous functional enhancements which offer opportunities for additional savings as you tweak and tune your applications. You can also support 5 to 10 times the number of concurrent users per member, so you can likely reduce the number of data sharing members in a Sysplex. (Which doesn't mean you should eliminate DB2 data sharing. It's still extremely useful for availability reasons -- more people should be running with data sharing -- but you may be able to reduce to 2 data sharing members in most cases.) * Improvements to resiliency. A number of enhancements let you keep DB2 up-and-running in yet more situations, and there are improved audit and regulatory compliance features. * Ease of deployment improvements for applications and warehouses. For example, there are numerous enhancements to the SQL vocabulary, to simplify moving applications to DB2 for z/OS. pureXML enjoys substantial improvements, as another example. * QMF enhancements. QMF gets a great deal of attention in this version, with a big focus on dashboards, new analytical functions, and new output formats including HTML, PDF, and Flash. Prerequisites: * You will need at least one LPAR running z/OS 1.10 or higher. * You will need a System z10, System z9, z990, or z890 machine. DB2 10 for z/OS will not operate on z900 or z800 machines. (It really does need the additional instructions.) * You will be able to migrate directly from DB2 8 New Function Mode to DB2 10. (Big news, that!) To editorialize, don't expect skip-version migration again in the future, and plan accordingly. But with DB2 10 the engineers are able to do it, so enjoy. The last time skip-version migration was available was DB2 V5 to V7. But let's not forget that you can still migrate to DB2 10 from DB2 V7 and prior, and you should. You can either do that with a quick intermediate step via DB2 8, or you can still do a big bang migration which is pretty common on every other operating system. If you're trailing far behind, a big bang migration could be the best option, although you'll likely need to take some extra care in testing. I'm quite fond of beta programs, and I encourage you to take advantage of them whenever appropriate (and when IBM agrees, of course). IBM's beta programs are quite useful for learning much more about the software and in establishing better relationships with IBM product developers. There's also a practical financial benefit: my understanding is that the beta period does not count as part of the 12 month Single Version Charge period. (Someone can correct me if I'm wrong on that point.) So if you can put a CPU-saving version into production that much sooner, and IBM gives you (in effect) more SVC months, that's a good financial formula. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect E-Mail: timothy.sipp...@us.ibm.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
