Re: Version control for PDS(E) members

2010-06-10 Thread Robert Birdsall

This may not fit your needs, but if you're just looking to keep multiple 
versions 
of a text PDS member in an easily accessible format (and you use ISPF edit 
exclusively to change the members), check out file742 on the CBT.

It's not completely bug-free :) but if you run into problems I might be able to 
help.  I may even have a slightly newer version laying around.

I use this for my own PDS/PDSE's and our shop uses it for certain system 
datasets (SYS1.IPLPARM, SYS1.PARMLIB, SYS1.TCPPARMS...).

Re: IF/ELSE/ENDIF strange behavior

2010-06-10 Thread Robert Birdsall

I understand why it would be necessary to have an effective COND=EVEN on 
each step in an IF ABEND controlled sequence, but why on IF NOT ABEND?
In your IF ABEND...ELSE...ENDIF construct, the ELSE if treated as IF NOT 
ABEND, forcing the COND=EVEN behaviour.

Just for fun (and contrary to a previously posted doc excerpt), note that the 
following 'works' under z/OS 1.10 (I don't have 1.11 installed, yet).

//TESTJOB JOB (0200),'BSquare',CLASS=X,MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=SYSUID
//*
// IF FALSE THEN
//EXEC PGM=KLUGE,COND=ONLY
// ENDIF
//*
// IF (U0100 = U0140) THEN
//YES1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//NO1  EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
// ELSE
//YES2 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
// ENDIF

By works, I mean:
The unnamed step is _not_ executed (COND=ONLY on 1st step, no ABEND)
YES1 and NO1 are _not_ executed (U0100  U0140)
YES2 _is_ executed (U0100  U0140)

If you comment out the IF FALSE...ENDIF lines:
YES1 _is_ executed (1st step, 'IF (U0100 = U0140)' not evaluated yet)
NO1 is _not_ executed (_now_ 'IF (U0100 = U0140)' has been evaluated)
YES2 _is_ executed (U0100  U0140)

create a z/OS sequential file containing the UNIX subdirectories needed. And 
you can then XMIT the sequential file. But I wonder if changing from XMIT to

Re: Question on EPILOG for OmegaMon

2010-06-10 Thread Kelman, Tom

I don't know why it wouldn't be getting the 21st, 22nd, etc. extent, but
why not allocate several EPILOG Datastores with no secondary extents.
We don't use EPILOG in my current job, but when I was using the EDS in a
previous job I had it set up that way.  I had allocated 7 Epilog
Datastores with each one large enough to hold about one days worth of
data in a single extent (no secondary extents).  Then when one would
fill up EPILOG would switch to the next EDS and kick off a job that
would backup the one that had just filled.  That way I had about a
week's worth of data online.  The backup dataset was a gdg with 185
generations to hold about 6 months of data.

Hi,

Recently our system's EPLIOG datastore (EDS) is getting full faster than

We configured that EDS switches trigger as either in Monday or EDS FULL.
My question is how EPILOGC ( the collector) determine the active EDS is
FULL?
AFAIK, EDS is KSDS, and we create it with space (PRI 300 cyls, SEC 50
cyls).
When I check the full EDS from 3.4, I saw it allocates 8250 trks, with
20
EXTs.
Since it can has 20 EXTs, why not 21st,22nd , and so on..? Is there any
limit elsewhere I should be aware?

Thanks!

this would limit of use of the facility to users who ... should be
as trusted, for example, as users who have authority to update APF
authorized libraries.

It's pretty roundabout.  UNIX files for SMP/E FROMNTS are:

o Copied to members of a classic PDS[E].

o Transformed with GIMDTS to FB 80.

o Strung together in SMPPTFIN delimited by ++HFS control lines.

o Unloaded to a .pax.Z archive

o Put in a directory with an EBCDIC GIMPAF.XML file.

The first 3 steps must be done by the programmer; GIMZIP does
only the last two, AFAIK.  The SMPPTFIN must be catalogued;
GIMZIP has no support for uncatalogued data sets.

You now have an SMPNTS directory containing a GIMPAF.XML file and
a SMPPTFIN subdirectory containing a whatever.F1.pax.Z file.  For
modular transmission this must be further archived into a flat file.

The recipient must submit a request to get RACF permission; create
a CSI with UCLIN and create SMPWKDIR and SMPNTS UNIX directories;
unpack the transmittal package, and run SMP/E RECEIVE FROMNTS.

Ugh!  It ain't like installing from an RPM.  Or did I overlook

Subject: Multiprise 3000 - fatal SE problems - help please!

..snip

Questions:

1. Does anyone recognise these symptoms and can say 'ahhh yes, that is
due to...'?

 sort of :-)


2. I'm aware of activation profiles - reset profiles, load profiles
etc. What exactly IS 'activation' with respect to the MP3000 CPC? Is
it correct and normal for the SE to act as if the CPC is powered-off
until a reset profile has been run successfully?

 Yes. The CPC is actually sort of a daughter board on the Intel board. The 
 SE needs the profile to understand how to set up the CPC just like other 
 CPU's. Memory allocation, LPARs, I/O subsystem, etc. I seem to remember 
 loading the IOCDS as source via the floppy and running an assembler to 
 create the initial IOCDS. That defined the LPARs, channels, etc. 

3. Restoring from two different tapes 2 years different in age
produces identical results - no trace of the default activation
profiles, and errors which make it impossible to edit activation
profiles. This can't be coincidence, there has to be a massive clue
there?

 I agree. You seem to be missing a IOCDS as well as activation profiles. 

4. Could it be somehow connected to the LIC changes for the 'Linux
upgrade' mentioned? i.e. the standard factory SE restore CD is
restoring the standard P30 LIC, which the customer vital data on the
backup tapes chokes on because it (and the activation profiles on it)
expects a 'custom' LIC with the Linux upgrade stuff, and this LIC
isn't saved on the backup tapes? Maybe I need to 'perform model
conversion' so everything matches up?

 you got me there. 


5. Could this possibly be a hardware problem with the CPC or STI stuff?

 Always possible. There are little backup batteries with short life spans on 
 some of the cards. If one or more is out of spec, then it would be 
 reasonable for the SE to refuse to activate the MVS daughter board. 

6. I can't find it documented anywhere, but is there a procedure to
restore the system to a blank default as-shipped factory configuration
*without* any customer data? Just the default IBM profiles etc.? There
must be such a procedure, but maybe it was only used internally within
IBM?

 IIRC, the customer had to supply things like an IOCDS, activation profiles, 
 configure the DASD, and somehow supply an operating system. I was not

z/OS R11 Migration Webcast

2010-06-10 Thread John Eells

Gita Berg and Marna Walle will speak at this webcast (free, but 
registration required) next week, providing a release content overview 
and migration information for z/OS R11:




Accelerate your migration to z/OS Version 1 Release 11!

Date: June 17, 2010, 11:00 am Eastern  (4pm BST, 8 am PDT)
Duration: 60 minutes

z/OS V1.11 provides many advances for the z/OS environment. This release 
is focused on new function for enhanced efficiencies, scalability, and 
robust security and qualities of service. This one hour webcast will 
cover technical installation requirements which can help jump start your 
customer's migration to V1.11.


By attending, your customers will learn:

* An overview of the new features and capabilities available with 
z/OS V1.11 and z/OS Management Facility V1.11
* Highlights of what functions have been removed since z/OS V1.9, 
and some important removals in the future to prepare for now

Re: Setting up timezone in Unix on Mainframe

2010-06-10 Thread Hunkeler Peter (KIUP 4)

I will continue to pursue documentation to see what might be 
incorrect or missing.

The setting from /etc/init.options (not init.profile) is only
used at IPL time when BPXOINIT initializes. Part of that 
initialization is to read /etc/init.options, and run the script
specified via -sc (usually this is /etc/rc), or if /etc/inittab
is there, this will be run instead of the -sc script.

The enviroment variable set with -e in /etc/init.options 
are set when the -sc script runs. The doc doesn't tell about
/etc/inittab but I guess they apply to this case as well (Don't
have a system to play with; maybe someone else can confirm?)

When /etc/rc or /etc/inittab ends, the environment variables
will vanish. The are, however, still present in the processes
that have been started, like syslogd, inetd, etc.

The /etc/profile and $HOME/.profile are specific for the
/bin/sh shell and are run at login time, only. So, for 
interactive shell users, you want to set TZ in either
of these scripts.

On the other hand, these scripts are of no use to any process
started by other means that being started from a login shell.
This includes programs started via EXEC PGM=. Those can get
TZ set via ENVAR LE Runtime oOption (if it is an LE program).
You can also set TZ in the LE runtime defaults module
(CEEXUOPT or something the like). 


and my $ date function looks

What is the $ date function? Isn't the $ simply you
shell prompt ($ being the default for non-uid=0 users).

Re: JBoss for z/OS

Jim,

There's more information on the JBoss/Tomcat relationship here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JBoss_application_server

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JBoss_application_serverI'm not aware of
instructions for running later releases of JBoss on z/OS.

Here's a search of the JBoss.org Wiki, which doesn't reveal much to me:

http://community.jboss.org/search.jspa?peopleEnabled=trueuserID=containerType=container=q=z/os

http://community.jboss.org/search.jspa?peopleEnabled=trueuserID=containerType=container=q=z/osFWIW,
there are two kinds of z/OS Java porting problems:

1) getting the code layed down properly, and converting the right ASCII
files to EBCDIC.
If running under the JZOS batch launcher, you have to setup an environment
shell script to match whatever script that JBoss normally uses.
Otherwise, you have to modify JBoss shell script to set the right
z/OS-specific JVM settings to handle EBCDIC output correctly, while still
running the JVM with -Dfile.encoding=ISO8859-1.

2) problems with running under the IBM Java SDK (versus Sun).  Some java
programs depend on Sun-specific, non-public api programs in the SUN JRE.

Problems under (1) are easier to fix than (2).

Subject: Multiprise 3000 - fatal SE problems - help please!

2. I'm aware of activation profiles - reset profiles, load profiles
etc. What exactly IS 'activation' with respect to the MP3000 CPC? Is
it correct and normal for the SE to act as if the CPC is powered-off
until a reset profile has been run successfully?

 Yes. The CPC is actually sort of a daughter board on the Intel board. The 
 SE needs 
the profile to understand how to set up the CPC just like other CPU's. Memory 
allocation, 
LPARs, I/O subsystem, etc. I seem to remember loading the IOCDS as source via 
the 
floppy and running an assembler to create the initial IOCDS. That defined the 
LPARs, 
channels, etc.

3. Restoring from two different tapes 2 years different in age
produces identical results - no trace of the default activation
profiles, and errors which make it impossible to edit activation
profiles. This can't be coincidence, there has to be a massive clue
there?

 I agree. You seem to be missing a IOCDS as well as activation profiles.

That turns out not to be the case; the IOCDS stuff is in a different part of 
the SE, and that 
is all present and correct. There are the usual IOCDS present... single image, 
multiple 
LPARs, DIAGNOSE etc.  The problem is *activation profiles*, specifically reset 
profiles, 
not IOCDS; if I understand correctly the load profile invokes the IOCDS.

6. I can't find it documented anywhere, but is there a procedure to
restore the system to a blank default as-shipped factory configuration
*without* any customer data? Just the default IBM profiles etc.? There
must be such a procedure, but maybe it was only used internally within
IBM?

 IIRC, the customer had to supply things like an IOCDS, activation 
 profiles, 
configure the DASD, and somehow supply an operating system. I was not involved 
in that 
initial op sys step.

Sure - but it absolutely should have the default IBM-supplied activation 
profiles, and/or 
several customer-defined activation profiles, and it doesn't - or they're 
'hidden' somehow. 
I can't supply an activation profile as I get a LIC exception when I try to use 
the activation 
profile editor!

Re: SCRT Copy List

2010-06-10 Thread Greg Shirey

I think you're right about IBM not wanting customers to *completely*
automate the submission process, but Dave did not suggest that - he said
he runs the SCRT program and emails the result to himself so he can
check it.  We do that here as well, but where our process differs from
Dave's is that we simply forward the CSV file on to IBM if it is
correct, rather than rerun the job with a different email ID.  (But
since he's CC'ing others, I understand why he does it..) 

I'm curious about your statement that IBM would not authorize your shop
to email your SCRT output.  Their website seems to indicate that it is
up to the customer. 

From
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/resources/swprice/subcap/scrt/submit.htm
l

Unless you have been informed otherwise, all Sub-Capacity customers in
countries where the License Management Support (LMS) application has
been implemented must use LMS to submit your subcapacity reports to IBM.
You may choose either of the following methods to send your subcapacity
report to LMS:

* LMS Web to upload and submit your subcapacity report using the LMS Web
interface. 
* LMS eMail to send your subcapacity report to LMS as an e-mail

Re: TCPIP Routes

2010-06-10 Thread Chris Mason

To all following this thread

I sent the following in response to a private note from Matthew Stitt.

quote

Note that the INTERFACE statement for IPv4 applies *only* to an OSA QDIO 
interface. It combines the DEVICE and LINK statements and the HOME and 
BSDROUTINGPARMS (if you happen to use that statement) entries.

I would encourage you to specify the VMAC parameter even if you don't share 
the OSA feature port between a number of IP node instances. It causes the 
OSA logic to behave as it should have from the very beginning. It may well be 
the basis for future enhancements.

Note also that the PRIMARYINTERFACE statement - which I suspect is what 
you had in mind when you said primary connection - has a rather limited 
significance. The IP address corresponding to the PRIMARYINTERFACE 
statement - the first in the home list by default - even a rather dynamically 
determined home list if you find you don't need an actual HOME statement 
any more - is the value returned by a sockets API gethostid() call. So the 
PRIMARYINTERFACE value matters only if you have an application which uses 
the gethostid() call. I happen to know - because I got caught trying 
incorrectly to rationalise an installation's definitions - that DB2 *does* rely 
on 
the gethostid() call so that it can verify or obtain - using the name server 
converting the IP address to a name - the identity of the system in which the 
DB2 instance is executing - or something like that.

/quote

I forgot to add in the private note that the PRIMARYINTERFACE parameter 
also has a role in the interaction between the SNMP agent and any SNMP 
subagents. I hope Matthew will excuse this oversight!

I have had discussions over the PRIMARYINTERFACE parameter before. What 
the discussions were had something to do with what can be deduced from this 
paragraph from the introductory text for the PRIMARYINTERFACE parameter 
description in the Communications Server IP Configuration Guide as first 
appeared in V1R6 which implied that the PRIMARYINTERFACE parameter had an 
additional role as a default source IP address previously:

quote

| The primary interface statement's IP address is not used as the source IP 
| address for any out-going datagrams, unless that same address is 
| configured as the SOURCEVIPA address.

This has become rather confused.

You appear to have the simplest of IP route definition cases, in other words, 
a
single interface attached to a LAN with a single address for an adjacent
router - what your network folk call a gateway - which gives you access to
the rest of the intranet other than this adjacent LAN.

The principles behind this configuration are to set two ROUTE statements
wedged between a BEGINROUTES statement and an ENDROUTES statement.
The first ROUTE statement describes how you can send packets out onto the
adjacent LAN. You may actually have partner nodes with interfaces attached
to this LAN and so you already have the means to send packets to such
partner nodes.

This first ROUTE statement defines how to send packets to the adjacent
router as the first hop on paths to nodes with interfaces *not* attached to
the adjacent LAN and so it allows the specification of the second ROUTE
statement for all other destination IP addresses, DEFAULT, where the
adjacent router is the first hop on the path.

Other than defining the address of the interface in the local node in a HOME
statement, that's all there is to it.

Now, in the light of your ability to PING the adjacent router[a] with the old
definitions and your inability to get anything working with your new
definitions - and I'm sorry if these seem repeated requests but in the 
interests
of clarity without confusion distractions - please post the following:

What was the old set of parameters?:

your interface IP address, subnetwork IP address, subnetwork
mask, gateway interface IP address, gateway's version of the subnetwork
IP address, gateway's version of the subnetwork mask

Confirm that the new set of parameters is

   your interface IP address: 10.10.231.99
   subnetwork IP address: 10.10.230.0
 subnetwork mask: 255.255.254.0 or /23
  gateway interface IP address: 10.10.230.2
gateway's version of the subnetwork IP address: ???
  gateway's version of the subnetwork mask: ???

What was your old set of ROUTE statements between the BEGINROUTES 
and
ENDROUTES statement?

What is your new set of ROUTE statements between the BEGINROUTES and
ENDROUTES statement?

Perhaps you can add the routing statements in the gateway that relate to
your IP node for both the old scheme and the new scheme.

In the course of doing all of that you will probably spot where your problem is
without any further help!

If one really wants to save those few bucks for labels or just wants to 
label few tapes in emergency mode - then it is possible to create such 
label using MS Word or other editor. All you need is barcode font.

IMHO it is unreasonable to do it for regular labeling.

Re: SCRT Copy List

IIRC, we were using email but were told he had to convert to the interactive 
web submission. We did. Later, we applied to use the email again to have a way 
to submit when the web process failed. That was long ago, but we have heard 
nothing to date. 

OBTW, we also email the CSV to ourselves for vetting and approval. We used to 
simply forward the email, but now someone has to intervene. Not a big deal, 
just annoying and an opportunity for error.

I think you're right about IBM not wanting customers to *completely*
automate the submission process, but Dave did not suggest that - he said
he runs the SCRT program and emails the result to himself so he can
check it.  We do that here as well, but where our process differs from
Dave's is that we simply forward the CSV file on to IBM if it is
correct, rather than rerun the job with a different email ID.  (But
since he's CC'ing others, I understand why he does it..) 

I'm curious about your statement that IBM would not authorize your shop
to email your SCRT output.  Their website seems to indicate that it is
up to the customer.

2010-06-10 Thread Dana Mitchell

Late last century when we were installing several STK silos,  our friendly STK 
rep gave me a small DOS program that would produce tape lables.   It may still 
exist somewhere, I think it was cleverly named BARCODE.exe. I used it 
quite a bit when tapes would get damaged etc.  It was also handy when a 
CBPDO would arrive, I could label them all and throw them in a silo.

 SDWABEA is based off of SDWARC4.

  I would recommend specifying SDWALOC31=YES on the
ESTAE macro so that SDWAXEME is not zero.

  To answer your actual question, the BEA is also
in the RTM2 work area.  However, TCBRTWA is not

Re: How to create a new system from a existing system

Some replicate the system volumes proper, and keep the 'personality' stuff 
(parmlibs, tcpparms, mcats, etc) separate. IODF's, for example, can be shared 
(note that they should be cataloged to each system for dynamic changes). 

Some used shared, concatenated parmlibs to keep the image specific stuff in one 
and the common stuff in another.  
 
There's some excellent RedBooks on the subject as well as the ABC's of System 
Programming series.

Subject: How to create a new system from a existing system

Dear all

 As we know,if we want to create a new system from a existing system,we usually 
clone the existing system.

When we clone the existing system,we could use a new name convention for the 
new system.for example :

a new syslex name,a new system,a new MCAT name.  but it take few days to do 
it.


  I wonder whether I could  create a new system by coping all volumes on the 
exsiting system by full volume copy

 command with volid;then could I change the syslex name or system name? I feel 
it faster than clone.

 Of course we need do something as the following examples: 

For example:

Because there are duplex volumes,we need offline some of them from one 
system.because there is a new CF 

for the new system,we need redefine the CFRM.We aslo need modify VTAMTCP/IP 
definition..


Are there any other considerations we should pay attention to when we create 
the system by coping all volumes?


Any Suggestions are highly appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

Best Regards,

Jason Cai

Leap frog from z/OS 1.7 to z/OS 1.11

Has anyone here done the jump from z/OS 1.7 to z/OS 1.11 without going through 
1.9 first?  If so, can you tell me any specific gotchas that you came across?

Thank you,
Greg

Re: How to create a new system from a existing system

I have actually done the creation of a new system using EMC utilities to mirror 
and then split off complete copies of DASD a few times.

There are some significant problems with doing that, most notably dealing with 
duplicate volumes and setting up networking prior to splitting the volumes.  It 
can be pretty hazardous when IPLing and responding with the right unit 
addresses with all of the volumes.  Sometimes the operators have forgotten that 
you answer the one that you want kept OFFLINE, instead of what you want on.  It 
can make for some pretty interesting clean up after a mistake like that is made.

Some replicate the system volumes proper, and keep the 'personality' stuff 
(parmlibs, tcpparms, mcats, etc) separate. IODF's, for example, can be shared 
(note that they should be cataloged to each system for dynamic changes). 

Some used shared, concatenated parmlibs to keep the image specific stuff in one 
and the common stuff in another.  
 
There's some excellent RedBooks on the subject as well as the ABC's of System 
Programming series.

Subject: How to create a new system from a existing system

Dear all

 As we know,if we want to create a new system from a existing system,we usually 
clone the existing system.

When we clone the existing system,we could use a new name convention for the 
new system.for example :

a new syslex name,a new system,a new MCAT name.  but it take few days to do 
it.


  I wonder whether I could  create a new system by coping all volumes on the 
exsiting system by full volume copy

 command with volid;then could I change the syslex name or system name? I feel 
it faster than clone.

 Of course we need do something as the following examples: 

For example:

Because there are duplex volumes,we need offline some of them from one 
system.because there is a new CF 

for the new system,we need redefine the CFRM.We aslo need modify VTAMTCP/IP 
definition..


Are there any other considerations we should pay attention to when we create 
the system by coping all volumes?


Any Suggestions are highly appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

Best Regards,

Jason Cai

Re: Multiprise 3000 - fatal SE problems - help please!

2010-06-10 Thread Harry Wahl

Mike,

 

Here is my opinion in the form of a WAG (Wild Ass Guess):

 

You're barking up the wrong tree. Based on what you describe, your software is 
fine; the SBC that runs OS/2 is running; your CPC is working; so I don't think 
this is an SE issue at all.

 

You don't need an activation profile to use the machine, it's more of a 
convenience. You do need to be able to do a POR, however. After that you can 
just IPL manually. If the CPC wasn't working you would be reading about it in 
your hardware log. What you describe is the SE is unable to issue control 
commands to the CPC and receive returned information.

 

What seems to be missing is control signalling between the SE and the CPC. The 
SE and the CPC are working and communicating, but control signalling is DOA.

 

You probably have a missing, loose or removed signal cable. Some cables inside 
IBM mainframes are not what they seem (actually most), IBM sometimes uses 
connectors that are common in PCs for entirely different purposes. Do not 
assume, based on physical form factor, that you know what a cable or connector 
is used for. 

 

I'm a design engineer, not a CE so I don't know what cable it would be, but 
somewhere along the backplane where the OS/2 SBC is seated there should be a 
cable coming from another card on the same backplane that runs to the part of 
the frame where the CPC board is. That cable is probably your problem.

 

If the machine was just moved, the cable may have just come loose.

 

Harry

 ok... so why is the SE complaining of a LIC error? And why can't I even 
*see* the

somewhere 
along the backplane where the OS/2 SBC is seated there should be a cable 
coming from 
another card on the same backplane that runs to the part of the frame where 
the CPC 
board is. That cable is probably your problem.

It's all on the backplane - except for *one* STI cable from the CPC box to the 
BIDI card, 
as you describe above. I've checked and re-checked that damn cable. In any 
case, as I 
understand it, that's a 'secondary' channel; the primary channel for SBC-CPC 
comms is 
direct via the backplane.

If the machine was just moved, the cable may have just come loose.

The machine was moved, and pretty much stripped bare as part of the process. 
It's been 
reassembled, problems found, disassembled, connectors checked and cleaned with 
infinite care, and put back together again. I don't *think* it's a hardware 
problem. This is 
one of the first trees I barked up :-)

I'll give you a call on another matter this PM if I may...

SNIPPAGE

This just came up on CICS-L in a matter of speaking.

CSA KEY8 GETMAIN will probably fail. You will need to make sure that you
either have all software using CSA upgraded, or you will need to set the
system to allow it.

Storage Management Change

Storage may be allocated differently (depending on PARMLIB settings). 

With the new method, Storage now is gotten at the bottom of a page
(rather than top) and moves up (which prevents some fragmentation of
storage). This means that a GETMAIN may have part of the storage in an
existing page with the rest in a subsequent page. So your storage won't
be properly initialized.

There is an option to cause z/OS to use the old storage management
rather than the new storage management. 

Those are just two items to watch for.

Re: FW: Tape Barcode labels

Creating the VOLSER worked out well.  Trying to create the J or K, not so
much.

Re: Leap frog from z/OS 1.7 to z/OS 1.11

Thank you, Steve,

This decision was made prior to my involvement and I am gathering data to make 
shed light and make sure that, if this decision is stuck to, at least everyone 
is going into it with their eyes open.

I am hoping that it will be re-thought, but I will march to whatever drum is 
decided upon.  This information will be very helpful.

Take care,
Greg

Subject: Leap frog from z/OS 1.7 to z/OS 1.11

Has anyone here done the jump from z/OS 1.7 to z/OS 1.11 without going throu= 
gh 1.9 first?  If so, can you tell me any specific gotchas that you came a= 
cross?

SNIPPAGE

This just came up on CICS-L in a matter of speaking.

CSA KEY8 GETMAIN will probably fail. You will need to make sure that you either 
have all software using CSA upgraded, or you will need to set the system to 
allow it.

Storage Management Change

Storage may be allocated differently (depending on PARMLIB settings). 

With the new method, Storage now is gotten at the bottom of a page (rather than 
top) and moves up (which prevents some fragmentation of storage). This means 
that a GETMAIN may have part of the storage in an existing page with the rest 
in a subsequent page. So your storage won't be properly initialized.

There is an option to cause z/OS to use the old storage management rather than 
the new storage management. 

Those are just two items to watch for.

Regards,
Steve Thompson

You might consider mitigating the risk by getting assistance from one of the 
folks who specialize in unsupported upgrades.

We have never needed to do this upgrading every year but Brian Westerman and 
Syzygy are well recognized around here as subject matter experts in this space.

There are other consultants who could help as well.

Truly excellent, and filters the nuggets from the migration guides. Much easier
