Re: Calculating the pipe size for DASD mirroring
If you want a complete independent source with top notch tools and expertise go to the one many of the storage companies do Intellimagic. http://www.intellimagic.net/en/product.phtml?p=Copy%20Services We license some of their tooling directly now and have had good experience with the tools and the available expertise. Getting this wrong is can be very painful and upset your cost model for a proposal so IMHO it is worthwhile to engage with en expert either allied with your storage vendor of choice or independent. Out of curiosity, how do they stack up against Dr H Pat and his pals over at _www.perfassoc.com_ (http://www.perfassoc.com) ? Dr. Pat Artis (www.perfassoc.com) and Dr. Gilbert Houtekamer (www.intellimagic.net) wrote the book titled 'MVS I/O Subsystems: Configuration Management and Performance Analysis' together. Alan, you've already had some good answers and there is a wealth of information available in RMF that can help you calculate throughput. Two of the easiest ways (if you have the right hardware) is to look at the LINK statistics (SMF 74.8) or the FICON switch port values (74.7). Both of these records will give you the write MB/s per link or port. If you intend mirroring all write activity, you now simply have to find the largest interval (peak) and add a safety margin. There are still various link replication details (compression, etc.) but you already have a good starting point. Note: The highest I/O rate typically does not correspond to the interval with the highest throughput. For some technical reading, look at our whitepapers (http://www.intellimagic.net/en/doc.phtml?p=Whitepapers) where we go into detail on obtaining information for sizing synchronous and asynchronous replication.

Re: Allocate a dataset in an specific track into the DASD (z/OS)
Enrique And it works - or, at least it did in May 1974! I was setting up a demonstration of some product on VS1 for an exhibition in the USSR. I had a tape copy of the DASD containing the data sets involved. Unfortunately, the VTOC did not restore for some reason - and maybe some data sets but it turned out whatever data sets may have been missing didn't matter. Fortunately, there was a VTOC listing of the contents of the DASD together with the tape. I well remember an hour or so of hard pounding on an 029 making up DD-statements each with an ABSTR primary suboperand of the SPACE operand in order to populate the VTOC. How I knew I could recover from this disaster from which the ABSTR operand rescued the project I cannot now recall. It was the only time I ever had to use it - for which I can be grateful! Thanks are also due to Kees for jumping in with the ABSTR reference or I might have had to go looking for it.

Re: Allocate a dataset in an specific track into the DASD (z/OS)
MONTERO ROMERO, ENRIQUE ELOI pisze: Well, Why i need this?. Just to extend the VVDS of a volume. 1. Why not allocate larger VVDS ? It's a matter of few tracks. 2. What about secondary extents? Do they have to be adjacent? 3. It's enough to allocate PS dataset just after VVDS allocation (assumed VVDS is at the begining of volume) - it will be implicitly allocated just after last used track. But, I repeat: it is NOT NECESSARY. Our procedure to increase the VVDS size, is to allocate a dataset just after the current VVDS to avoid allocations from other people jobs. and used to extend the VVDS in other steps. IMHO you should have procedure to AVOID it. The problem is that, we have to create an specific ACS routine to allow allocation the file in the specific volume, Indeed. That´s the way we use to. So if there is a better way to perform this VVDS size increase, please send it. :-) See above. Tested - no need to change VVDS for years.

Re: zOS1.11 Allocation error
Do you have SYSTEM IEFBR14_DELMIGDS(NORECALL) set on your z/OS 1.11 system? My point with mentioning OA31970 was a more general observation that there are problably some number of problems with IEFBR14_DELMIGDS(NORECALL). It is also possible that the brand new fix (May 2010) for OA31970 will fix your problem in addition to the problem described in the APAR. On the other hand, if you have SYSTEM IEFBR14_DELMIGDS(LEGACY) set, then I would agree that OA31970 does not apply.

Re: Allocate a dataset in an specific track into the DASD (z/OS)
A few (okay plus a few more) years ago, one of our applications programmers would run a special run of a process that would take 12 to 14 hours to produce a large dataset that, only on the special runs, would be taken into a follow-on process. Usually, the programmer would forget to update the special run JCL to keep the dataset. So, I would get the frantic phone call. I would mount the work pack private and map the volume. I would then move whatever I could off the volume to keep future extents on the same pack. Each time an extent was taken, I would map the volume again. When the job finished and deleted the dataset, I would run an IEFBR14 with ABSTR to allocate each extent as a separate dataset, then run a job to concatenate the extents back into one dataset.

Same ASID in Space-Switching PC Routine
So I finally have a need to write a PC routine. I've been wanting to do this for a while. However, I'm seeing something that's not behaving like I expect it to. My server address space creates the PC routine (among other things) and then just sits there. For testing, I'm calling the PC routine via a plain old batch job. In the small program run by the batch job, I WTO'd out the TCB address and ASID before invoking the PC routine, and put the same WTOs in the PC routine itself. Since it's a space-switching PC routine, I expected the ASID from the WTO in the PC routine to match the server address space, but it doesn't; it's the same ASID for the batch job.

The new report I just generated does not. has nothing so report will not print correctly unless I manually go in an alter it. is there a replacement for PRINT (giving me option capture or include those fields) or a means to carry over the CHARS/FORM-PAGEDEF's on the report I just generated... or maybe someone has already wrote something (rexx-clist) to do this and willing to share... thanks -- Email Disclaimer This E-mail contains confidential information belonging to the sender, which may be legally privileged information.

Re: Allocate a dataset in an specific track into the DASD (z/OS)
That´s the way we use to. So if there is a better way to perform this VVDS size increase, please send it. :-) In a prior life, as a Space Cadet (over 20 years ago), when 3380 architecture was king, and 3390's hadn't even been announced, we/i handled that by allocating 'large VVDS datasets. There were guidelines in the DFP manuals at the time. We used them and added 50%, then rounded up to the nearest cylinder. We never had to increase. Also, VVDS datasets are allowed extents. And, extents have not been performance issues for a VERY long time. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! -- 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: ftping a gdg from the z box
Mace, Two things occur to me immediately: 1) Are you sure that you have defined the GDG in the catalog? FTP can create a new GDS but not the GDG. 2) If the GDS is non-SMS, have you defined the Model-DSCB in the FTP Data that is being used? Here is a snippet (rather long) from the 1.9 manual: Generation data group support Generation data groups (GDGs) enable you to store multiple data sets, called generation data sets (GDSs), as versions of the GDG. You cannot use FTP to create a new GDG, but you can use it to create a new version (that is, a new GDS) or to transfer an existing version of an existing GDG. The relationship between DCBDSN and GDGs is governed by MVS allocation rules rather than FTP usage rules. Therefore, when creating a new GDG [put 'sys1.proclib(jes2)' user77.mygdg(+1)], at least one of the following must be true: v A valid MODEL or PATTERN DSCB (for FTP, DCBDSN) specification must be coded in the FTP.DATA file when the z/OS FTP server is started. v A valid SITE DCbdsn=dataset_name must be issued before a PUT command is issued. v A data set having the same name as the GDG base must reside on the volume as the user catalog that contains the GDG definition. In this case, neither a SITE DCbdsn or a DCBDSN argument in the FTP.DATA data file is required. 94 z/OS V1R9.0 Comm Svr: IP User's Guide and Commands Allocation detects that a GDG is being created and looks in the VTOC of the volume containing the USERCATALOG for a data set (uncataloged) that has the same name as the GDG BASE (see the sample GDG JCL that follows) .Notes: 1. A model or pattern DSCB that is the same name as the GDG BASE cannot exist on an SMS managed volume. This is an SMS restriction and is documented in the DFP manuals pertaining to using data sets (generation data sets or generation data groups). 2. Allocation does not generally have any requirements about the characteristics of a MODEL DSCB (cannot be VSAM, must be on DASD). Most facilities create one model DSCB for the entire system and everyone uses that model. The system-wide model usually has no logical record length (LRecl), block size (BLKsize), record format (RECfm), data set organization (DSORG) or retention period (RETpd) associated with it. 3. The z/OS FTP server requires the MODEL DSCB to have a valid DSORG of physical sequential organization (PS). Otherwise the SITE command for the DCBDSN is ignored, and a message is issued indicating the DCBDSN was ignored. 4. GDGs are MVS-specific structures. Other operating systems might not support this structure. Using FTP to send GDG members to other operating systems is not guaranteed to yield the same results as an MVS-to-MVS transfer. 5. The REName subcommand does not guarantee serialization of the GDG data set. Use the PUt subcommand instead. See Informational APAR II08285 for more information. The following restrictions apply: v DCBDSN=USER.MYGDG(0)/ USER.MYGDG(-n), not supported v DCBDSN=SYS1.PROCLIB(JES2), specifying a member of a PDS is not valid v DCBDSN=SYS1.PROCLIB, valid v The data set referenced on the DCBDSN, a DSORG of PS needed (FTP requirement) Note: If there are explicit values associated with LRecl, BLKsize, RECfm, or the SMS management equivalent parameters, these explicit parameters override the values associated with the model DSCB specified on the DCBDSN. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of larry macioce Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2010 14:54 To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: ftping a gdg from the z box we are trying to ftp(put) a gdg using the (+1) notation.
