Re: JCL MISTERY (for me)
Take a look at the file names in your allocation messages for the temporary datasets. They will be SYSxxx and will be different for each file. The actual names assigned to TMPFILE are system generated and are intentionally unique. If you want to access the file created in ST2 in ST3 you must use REFERBACK (look it up in the JCL manual).

Re: SMP/E -- Removing a CSECT from a load module?
Shane's comment was entirely appropriate, although it may be that we need a special font for irony here. That the arcana of SMP/E, indeed some of its basic functions, are little understood both within and without IBM is evident here several times a month. Moreover, the same radical ignorance of the arcana of the Linkage Editor and now the Binder too is demonstrated here even more frequently. This time, however, the subject is a facility---that of deleting a CSECT by replacing it with nothing---that the Linkage Editor supported ab initio and the Binder continues to support. The question whether SMP/E can do it is thus moot or worse. It must of course be done, as porcupines are said to make love, very carefully.

Re: SMP/E -- Removing a CSECT from a load module?
That is because WOMBAT is already included in the real FOO. IMO, the most expedient way to fix this is to 1) relink SYSLMOD FOO w/o WOMBAT (outside of SMP). 2) Perform you JCLIN. You might also try: ++ JCLIN INCLUDE DISTLIB(FRED) REPLACE WOMBAT NAME FOO(R) HTH, snip ++ JCLIN REPLACE WOMBAT INCLUDE DISTLIB(FRED) NAME FOO(R) Simple enough. Alas, SMP/E elaborates this as: REPLACE WOMBAT INCLUDE SMPPTS(FRED) Should get rid of WOMBAT INCLUDE SYSLMOD(FOO) ... but WOMBAT comes right back. NAME FOO(R) All Broken As Documented.

Re: Compuware FileAid to IBM FileManager Conversion
I am told by my sysprogs that Fault Analyzer requires the ADATA output file of the compiler to be allocated in the production JCL in order to analyze production abends the first time they occur. This is a non-starter for us, thousands of JCL's would have to change. YMMV. I recommend you investigate Macro4 products, InSync to replace FileAid and DumpMaster to replace Abend/AID. DumpMaster captures dump info from a production abend without any extra JCL required, and production dump analysis only requires copying the matching compiler listing into their VSAM listing database. No ADATA required. Highly recommended. We use Intertest for interactive debugging instead of Xpediter, but I'm not sure what the differences are in that case. It's been too long since I worked in an Xpediter shop. Cole Software (the z/XDC assembler debugger folk) has a new product z/XPF for performance analysis.

Re: FTP problems
When I owned a mainframe-to-PC file transfer software company we had a customer with whom we went around and around and around on a problem that they could only describe as your product works during the day but not at night. There did not seem to be enough intelligence/ambition at the customer to run traces, collect logs, etc. The answer to all technical questions was it works fine during the day but not at night. We would ask what error messages they were seeing and they would say none -- it just doesn't work at night. In spite of many denials that this could possibly be the problem, the cause turned out to be that at night they were shutting off the circuit breakers that controlled the affected PCs. So you might want to look into that.

Re: SMP/E -- Removing a CSECT from a load module?
I'm thinking that had the packaging been originally designed using the ++MOD entry's CSECT parameter, removing a CSECT from a ++MOD would have been straightforward. Of course, that could be done after the fact by redelivering the MOD. What, then, would be the MCS to remove the superfluous CSECT? Original: ++MOD(FRED) CSECT(FRED, WOMBAT). To remove CSECT named WOMBAT, simply remove that named from the CSECT operand: ++MOD(FRED) CSECT(FRED). SMP/E will see that WOMBAT has been removed and therefore generate the proper REPLACE statement when linking FOO.

Re: FTP problems
This sounds like a firewall problem. Could be that you are exhausting the number of open ports in your firewall. I assume that more concurrent FTP's run at night than during the day. FTP uses three ports: the well known port to negotiate the control port, and then the control port to negotiate the data port. The messages suggest that a control port was opened successfully, but the open of the data port was blocked. Another issue we have seen is that some platforms cannot handle more than one concurrent FTP session. We use the scheduler to serialize FTP transmissions to those boxes. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of ??? ?? ???

Re: Compuware FileAid to IBM FileManager Conversion
Re Fault Analyzer, ADATA output is not required in the production JCL. If you want FA to perform real-time analysis, there is a PARMLIB member that you can use to specify where the ADATA (or other side file output) can be found. We don't bother with real-time analysis. When investigating a dump, we use Fault Analyzer's ISPF interface to perform Interactive Reanalysis. Interactive Reanalysis allows you to manually specify the compile listing or side file DSN that you wish to use. You can easily automate the process so the programmer doesn't even have to know where the side file is coming from.

Re: Compuware FileAid to IBM FileManager Conversion
I stand corrected. Thanks for the info. Does FA require the ADATA info as I was told, or can it operate only off the compiler listing without ADATA? Needing to produce and archive ADATA going forward with FA would be a problem because pre-existing compiles would not have that data captured.

Re: JES2 Rmt and Security Issue
Matan, From the looks of things, as there is no ICH408I message issued - you do not have the RACF OPERCMDS class active. Therefore, the command must be authorized against normal EMCS console authority attributes, and native console security. As a default, EMCS consoles are given INFO authority, which lets them issue display commands (like D A,L or $D A) only. To give your EMCS console more authority, it will need an OPERPARM segment for its RACF UserID. To give your automated task native authority issue the following RACF command: ALTUSER MNTUSER OPERPARM(AUTH(ALL)) What is not clear from the JES2 doc is if AUTH(SYS) or AUTH(IO) or AUTH(CONS) will be sufficient. The above example uses AUTH(ALL) as it encompasses SYS, IO, and CONS.

Re: Compuware FileAid to IBM FileManager Conversion
For Cobol programs, FA requires the use of the XREF option. This created a problem for us when we migrated because most of our programs were compiled without XREF (to save space). We ended up writing a special utility program to extract the Cobol source from the listing and then recompile it with XREF turned on. The new compile listing (which was discarded after the process) was then used to generate a side file using a FA utility program. The side file was stored in a PDS that we maintain in parallel with the compile listings. We knew that this process would not be 100% reliable (because of compiler versions and PTFs, as you pointed out), but it has proved to be good enough for our purposes. Good enough meaning that FA was able to interpret Working Storage correctly, which is really all you need to solve run-of-the-mill application abends.

Therefore, the command must be authorized against normal EMCS console authority attributes, and native console security. As a default, EMCS consoles are given INFO authority, which lets them issue display commands (like D A,L or $D A) only. To give your EMCS console more authority, it will need an OPERPARM segment for its RACF UserID. To give your automated task native authority issue the following RACF command: ALTUSER MNTUSER OPERPARM(AUTH(ALL)) What is not clear from the JES2 doc is if AUTH(SYS) or AUTH(IO) or AUTH(CONS) will be sufficient.

Re: cpu capping question
Again, the weights have nothing to do with capping. But to answer your question: yes. Now, be careful. If LPAR 2 is hard capped at 200 MSU and is using 200 MSU, then SDSF will report 100% CPU utilization. In your scenario, you could hard cap LPAR 2 at 200 MSU and set the weights to 90/10. LPAR 2 could then use up to 200 MSU, but would be given no less than 100 MSU if LPAR 1 is active. LPAR 1 could use all 1000 MSU if LPAR 2 is idle, or no less than 900 MSU if LPAR 2 is active. Perhaps your business may be better served with a 20 MSU cap and weights 0f 95/5. That is, LPAR 2 could never use more than 20 MSU, but LPAR 1 could take 950 MSU if needed. Again, LPAR 1 could take all 1000 MSU if LPAR 2 is idle.

You did not mention the capping value for LPAR2. If, for example, you have hard capped LPAR 2 at, say, 150 mips, then it can never take more than that. So, LPAR 1 could take 85% and LPAR 2 15% if both are competing for the CPU. I assume you really meant to say MSU's instead of MIPS. MIPS is not a valid metric in this context.

SDSF's heritage was from the software known as 'OPERTOOL' or 'OPER' or 'OPER3270' which was developed at Iowa State University's Computation Center in the early 1970s. (OPERTOOL's own heritage came from a combination of Rochester's MTMT2260 and the beta testing ISU did with TSO under MVT.) The JES2/HASP3/HASP4 queue processing was done by the $Q programs within OPER. Mr. Porter (SDSF's IBM father) was at Iowa State at the time left just around the time they acquired their first 3277-2 terminals. (His last efforts there were to switch OPER from 2260s to 3270s while I was just starting to work there so our paths crossed at that point in 1974-1975.) There might be some ibm-main lurkers from John Deere who could have memories of OPER as well. Any sufficiently old lurkers from American Republic in Des Moines might know more of the OPER to SDSF morph that Mr. Porter accomplished while he was with IBM's branch there. OPER had several facilities that have not been duplicated elsewhere. It had an extremely powerful MAP function (originally TMAP HMAP under MVT but later generalized to MAP) which produced a very efficient visual representation of the real/virtual storage layout of any target address space. It allowed drill down to the byte level. At the byte level, if authorized, you could view or, if authorized, change storage contents as needed. Other later monitors provide a more costly implementation. OPER also had an ENQ monitor, an excellent file editor, a dynamic file creation function, a dynamic file allocation function and even a dynamic steplib function (we're talking 1974 timeframe here), and a completely generalized scripting language for automation or complex work was the first 3270 screen-scraper that I was aware of back in 1977. I have begun to forgot several of OPER's other functions. (We also sometimes used it to play multi-player games very late at night but that's a subject for a different time.) OPER ran under OS/360 MVT, OS/370 OS/VS2 r1+ (SVS), and OS/370 OS/VS2 r3+ (MVS). (I don't know anyone silly enough to have run OS/VS2 r2.) I *suspect* that it ran under MVS/SP1+ as well but that was after my time. Since OPER was developed at a land grant state university with mixed government funding, it could be (and was) acquired by anyone for the one- time fee of its distribution costs (around US$100 back then on 2400/3400 reels). Q IOF, on the other hand, came from different heritage. IOF came from TUCC, which worked with the University of Iowa and Iowa State University on the TUCC/Iowa mods (cue Lynn Wheeler here for yet another discussion on NJE's heritage... which came, partly, from the TUCC/Iowa work done back then). I am fairly certain there was cross-talk with the developers of OPER's $Q and IOF since there was ample opportunity back then.

Re: Does anyone know of a good *batch* FTP client for Windows?
X-posted to IBM-MAIN and IBMTCP. And the answer is ... MOVEit Freely from Ipswitch. It supports SSL. It is fairly compatible with (in the sense of similar to) the z/OS Comm Server client. It does not make a mess of z/OS file names. It has quote so I can send the mainframe a site command. It is 100% command as opposed to GUI driven. It is apparently a superset of the DOS/Windows ftp command. It's free. It's going to do the job for me, which is letting me continue developing a z/OS product that calls FTP from within the user-friendly confines of Visual Studio on Windows. It's from the same folks (Ipswitch) as WS_FTP but it is clearly a totally different product. http://www.ipswitchft.com/Business/Products/MoveitFreely/ Thank you to the two or three folks who suggested MOVEit Freely, and to all of the people who suggested other products, some of which I looked at and found wanting, and several of which I had not yet looked at at the point I figured out that MOVEit Freely would solve my problem.

IPCS - How to find Load Point
I am doing some work with diagnostic tools that run in an IPCS environment. I need to, programmatically, find the load point of a module (NOT the EPA unless that is the Load Point). I have looked up and tried different things, and FINDMOD doesn't find what I'm looking for. I have been doing scans and Google and can't seem to get the answer to what I need. I have written a REXX routine that does the following (within IPCS): PSAAOLD to ASCB. ASCBASXB to ASXB. ASXBLTCB to the LAST TCB in the Address space. That TCB's TCBJSTCB points me to MY Job Step TCB. [Reason for this is, I don't know if I am an STC or a JOB, JES2 or JES3, but my code does have multiple TCBs.] Ok, now the JS TCB's TCBJPQ points to the CDE chain [the JS TCB is where the primary program issues multiple loads]. Now I can run the CDE chain to find module FOO. Once I find it, that CDE's CDENTPT is the EPA of the module (just as published). Here's the problem. Looking at the Data Areas for LLE and for XTLST I don't see where the load point is kept. My problem is, I need to find a particular string inside this load module. And I need to start at the Load Point with a FIND for this string. In the current case I'm looking at the Load point is x'CA' BEFORE the EPA (I know because I have the listing to this particular module). In other cases where I need to do this, the offset will be different. Does anyone know how I can get the Load point address out of one of these control blocks?

Therefore, the command must be authorized against normal EMCS console authority attributes, and native console security. As a default, EMCS consoles are given INFO authority, which lets them issue display commands (like D A,L or $D A) only. To give your EMCS console more authority, it will need an OPERPARM segment for its RACF UserID. To give your automated task native authority issue the following RACF command: ALTUSER MNTUSER OPERPARM(AUTH(ALL)) What is not clear from the JES2 doc is if AUTH(SYS) or AUTH(IO) or AUTH(CONS) will be sufficient.
