Re: Yet another mixed case question
History: I'm told that the C/C++ behavior was implemented due to the C/C++ standard: If the host environment is not capable of supplying strings with letters in both uppercase and lowercase, the implementation shall ensure that the strings are received in lowercase. It might be the case that the C/C++ implementation preceded (by a whisker) the implementation by TSO/E of ASIS. Both were apparently done in or around 1988. In the absense of ASIS, TSO/E could be considered to be such a not capable host environment. With the existence of ASIS, it probably should not be considered so. But this is no longer open to change for compatibility reasons. The behavior could only be changed by some new user-specifiable option.

Re: floating-point performance
David Craig wrote: | Do you mean 'in C or C++', thus calling attention to the typo in my original post, where I had written 'is C or C ++'. He is in order. His rhetorical question identifies a real typo. My reaction to the rest of his post is more mixed. I am, for example, familiar with boost, and it is certainly useful in a C++ environment. The position that it or something like it is necessary in C++ is even perhaps a defensible one. His assertion that optimized COBOL and C++ code are different is not one that I have examined, but I should be prepared to concede/stipulate it if I judged it relevant. (It is not. I did not mention COBOL in my post, and floating-point performance has never been an urgent issue in COBOL, where it is little used, less used than it should be.) His view that there are packages invocable from C++ that yield better performance than RYO PL/I is also irrelevant. It should again be prepared to concede it too if it were formulated with more precision: RYO PL/I may be good or bad. It depends upon who does the rolling. (My own matrix-inversion routines use, with some few tiny modifications, the methods of J. H. Wilkinson, The Algebraic Eigenvalue Problem, and they include HLASM subroutines that use extended-precision floating-point arithmetic in certain crucial places. They are RYO, but they are not despicable, and even if they were the same algorithms were used for both HFP and BFP.) The results I posted addressed only the comparative performance of IBM HFP and BFP. My aside that neither C nor C++ is well adapted to intensive matrix algebra is probably what set Mr. Craig off. This is a commonplace, and it is well addressed by such packages as boost. His arguments thus resemble those advanced by a mother in defense of a crippled child.

These are not ACF2 error messages. There are no such roles as monitor nobody configurator or administrator in ACF2. ACF2 could still be the root cause.

Be sure you check the correct time period. As a short cut, you should also be able to see any ACF2 errors in the z/OS Console System Log.

Re: WAS V7 and ACF2 9.2 Trouble Accessing Admin. Con. from App. Server
The level of ACF2 you have, while not supported, is not old enough to be an issue. Also consider some workarounds: 1) Make the WAS LID Non-Cancellable, give it the NON-CNCL privlege. It will not prevent access to anything and will log everything so you can see what is preventing your access. Enter: ACF cha whateverid non-cncl (syntax: could also be ncncl or noncncl, not sure) 2) Change the ACF2 prefix, not to be confused with the TSO prefix, to asterisk (*). Enter: ACF cha wateverid prefix(*) When you wildcard the ACF2 prefix, make it *, you effectively noop, turn off all resource security for that id.

Re: DFHSM QUESTION - CLEAN UP OF BACKUP TAPES
Willie, I believe that the DELVOL will delete everything on the tape. I don't think that is what you want to do. I'm kinda confused as to what kind of data is on these tapes. When you said in your original e-mail that they are backups of non-existent DASD, were these full volume DUMPs of the DASD in question or were they dataset-level backups of data that no longer exists? If you're talking about just seeing backup versions of datasets that have been deleted and you want to clean up the backup versions (on HSM backup tapes), you use the BDELETE command. As you just found out, the RECYCLE command doesn't delete anything. It merely takes data that HSM deems is still valid and moves it from the source tape to the destination tape so the source tape can be freed up for reuse. RECYCLE's purpose for existence is simply to free up backup or migrate tapes that you want to clean up - usually because most of the data on the tape has expired.

VSAM APARs involving zFS corruption
I just resolved this with IBM, and thought I'd pass it along to anyone else that might be vunerable. I'm running z/OS 1.10, although APARs apply to 1.9 and up. I attempted to Extend a zFS beyond the available space on the volume. Instead of failing, the extend appeared to work. The total space available in zFS exceeded the VSAM HI-USED-RBA. Files were able to be added to the zFS, although there was in fact no space available. The files merely disappeared. Needless to say, the zFS was trashed, and any subsequent attempt to mount it failed. At IBM's direction, I APPLYed the fixing PTFs for OA29303 and OA30026. These PTFs prevented the problem from reoccuring. OA29303 involves extending VSAM datasets using media manager. This is probably the one that burned me - it is NOT flagged HIPER. OA30026 applies to VSAM datasets greater than 4GB, and is HIPER. -- 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

Just for grins, I also tried checking run as Administrator on setup.exe Properties under Compatibility, but got the same thing. I am running Windows-7 64-bit, but other 32 bit software installs fine into Program Files (x86). Thanks for the suggestion, though. I knew it was there, but hadn't thought of it.

Re: XMIT Manager
What I did was install the product on a XP machine, and then I just copied the installation directory to my Windows 7 machine. Works fine. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Scott T.

Re: SMP/E datasets question
Luis, See previous discussion in thread. If you have multiple target zones, it makes no difference whether they are in a single CSI or multiple CSIs, or whether the target zones are related, or share a global zone. If both target zones have elements with the same names or potentially could have elements with the same name, AND you intend to, or might unintentionally, apply maintenance to both of these zones, you *DO NOT* want to share the SCDS, LTS, STS, and MTS datasets that IBM recommends be unique for each target zone, or you run the risk of compromising the integrity of the software in the zones! This is not a matter of what is convenient! Sharing these data sets is only conditionally safe when you KNOW for certain the above conditions cannot occur. Otherwise sharing these datasets across multiple target zones is like taking a loaded gun, pointing it at your foot, and hoping you miss. JC Ewing On 03/16/2010 10:21 AM, Luis Andrade wrote: Although IBM has some recommendations on it, the SMP/E environment is flexible and allows each one to have it defined as you see more convenient. We can have at least three possible scenarios for it: * Single-CSI structure * Multiple-CSI structure * consolidate previous with a Master CSI Anyway, you need to have, at least, these CSI data sets: * SMPCSI (CSI) SMP/E uses CSIs to keep records of the system. * SMPPTS (PTS) The PTS data set is used as temporary storage for SYSMODs. It contains one member for each SYSMOD received. Each member is called a modification control statement (MCS) entry and is an exact copy of the SYSMOD as it was received from the SMPPTFIN data set. The name of an MCS entry matches the ID of the SYSMOD it contains. Generally, the MCS entries are kept on the PTS until the SYSMOD is accepted; then, under normal processing, they are deleted. * SMPSCDS (SCDS) The SCDS data set contains backup copies of target-zone entries that are modified during APPLY processing. These backup copies are made before the entries are (1) changed by inline JCLIN, a ++MOVE MCS, or a ++RENAME MCS or (2) deleted by an element MCS with the DELETE operand. The backup copies are used during RESTORE processing to return the entries to the way they were before APPLY processing. All the others are required under certain circunstances: – The SMPLTS data set is required when processing load modules with CALLLIBS. – An SMPMTS DD statement is required for changes to macros that do not reside in a target library. – An SMPSTS DD statement is required for changes to source code that does not reside in a target library. I see no problem having only one set of these SMP data sets, as long as you know when and where you must use them. Keep in mind that is better to have those defined in DDDEFs for each zone with enough space for all needs, even if they are the same for all zones. In SMP/E Commands you can check for considerations when using Zone or Data sets sharing for each command. If you really want to consolidate your SMP/E enviromnent consider using ZONErelated functions, like ZONEEXPORT, ZONEMERGE and ZONEIMPORT. That way you'll don't need to re-RECEIVE anything. ... -- Joel C.

Re: Any FOCUS performance guru's here?
Hi Dana, Is the batch job running on the same LPAR, as the sink machine? I remember getting the symptom you describe, when our SU batch jobs were started on one LPAR, but the sink machine (FOCUS SU job) was running on another LPAR. In cases like this, we used /* JOBPARM SYSAFF= in the JCL, to make sure the job ran where the SU was.

FICON Tape Replication and Brocade 7500s
We are looking for a method to encrypt the FC-IP tunnels between our B20 Peer to Peer tape libraries which are located about 1000kms apart. At present we use Brocade Edge 3000s - the plan was to swap these for Brocade 7500's as they offer IPsec - we already have done this on the disk replication side as True Copy is simple Fibre Channel. We now think there may be a conflict between IPsec on the FC-IP tunnel and Tape Acceleration - unconfirmed in writing but I have seen/heard some evidence to support that the features are mutually exclusive. We also see potential problems with link outages - the Edge 3000s handle swapping from the primary to alternate IP paths transparently - with the 7500 devices, we are told that the CHPID will go offline and require intervention to re-establish - there are also potential problems with VTC recovery in this scenario. Any other Peer to Peer users care to share their working configs???
