Re: API or visibility into PR/SM for Vendor-written programs?

[Meral Temel (Garanti Teknoloji)]

For security ,you need to enable these functions.LPARs can read other LPARs 
configuration or do changes...It is needed for HD or to reset one LPAR from 
another LPARs SA code as an example

-Taken from pr/sm planning  guide...SB10-7153-00

Global performance data control authority 

This control limits the ability of a LP to view CP activity data for other LPs. 
LPs with control authority for global performance data can view CP utilization 
data and Input/Output Processor (IOP) busy data for all of the LPs in the 
configuration. Additionally, gathering of FICON channel measurements requires 
selection of this parameter. Note: Logical partitions that use HiperDispatch 
require global performance data authorization in order to properly utilize 
excess CPU resources in the configuration. With the exception of an LP that is 
a member of a WLM Cluster, an LP without control authority for the performance 
data can view only the CP utilization data for that LP. Use the 
Customize/Delete Activation Profiles task available from the CPC Operational 
Customization tasks list to open a reset or image profile to enable global 
performance data control for an LP. The Global performance data control 
selection is located on the Security page for the LP. Note: An LP running a 
leve!
 l of RMF that supports FICON requires control authority even if no FICON is 
installed. 

Cross-partition authority 
This control can limit the capability of the LP to issue certain control 
program instructions that affect other LPs. LPs with cross-partition authority 
can issue instructions to perform a system reset of another LP, deactivate any 
other LP, and provide support for the automatic reconfiguration facility.The 
automatic reconfiguration facility permits a backup LP to deactivate a primary 
LP if a problem is detected in the primary LP. The backup LP can then configure 
online, storage resources that become available when the primary LP is 
deactivated. See "CPCs with the Sysplex Failure Manager (SFM)" on page 3-20. 
Use the Customize/Delete Activation Profiles task available from the CPC 
Operational Customization tasks list to open a reset or image profile to enable 
cross-partition authority for an LP. The Cross partition authority selection is 
located on the Security page for the LP

Yes, the minor CDE is there because that was the name (maybe entry

You break the analogy when you compare two different end-products, which

dollars to run IEFBR14 on a small machine; five thousand dollars to run
IEFBR14 on a mid-size machine and five million dollars to run IEFBR14 on
the largest machine.


However, the main reason there are 2 different products is to segemnt 
the market by how much they are prepared to pay.


For a software example, look at SQL Server. There are 7 different end 
products all with different capabilities and prices.

http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/editions.aspx

The only reason they don't just sell the one version that does 
everything is pricing. Every different version they sell adds 
development and support costs. However, it does satisfy the idea that 
you need different products to have different prices.


The question then becomes: Do you really want capabilities stripped out 
of z/OS (or ACF2 or whatever) so that smaller sites can pay for a 
different, cheaper version? That seems to be the alternative to pricing 
based on capacity.

Re: Anybody used SDSF / REXX in HTTPD CGI pgm?

[Grinsell, Don]

John,

I was intrigued by the possibilities so worked up a quick little example.  
There may be better ways of getting this done, but this seemed to work.  This 
simply obtains a list of the any jobs active in classes u & j and displays them 
one per line on a web page:

/* REXX */  
Say "Content-Type: text/x-ssi-html"
Say ""  
rc=isfcalls("ON")   
isfprefix="**"  
isfowner="*"
address SDSF "isfexec stuj" 
if rc<>0 then exit 20   
fixedfield=word(isfcols,1)  
say "Number of rows returned" isfrows   
do ix=1 to isfrows  
  say "Job" jname.ix jtype.ix||jnum.ix queue.ix actsys.ix ""
end 
rc=isfcalls("OFF")  

I haven't upgraded to the "new" apache server, but on my trusty old z/OS HTTP 
Server, inserting the following in a piece of HTML gets the job done:

CPU Utilization after upgrade z800 to z10

[Donnelly, John P]

We upgraded from an IBM z800 Processor 2066-002 to an IBM z10 Processor 
2098-O02 this past weekend.
Our CPU utilization dropped by about 10 points on a 24 hour window as did our

We were and are z/OS V1R9 plus toleration maintenance for a z10.
We changed nothing in all of our function, WLM, IEAOPT, or reporting processes,

not stand scrutiny.

Is there a place in any of this where we might specify a 'normalization' to a

Re: RMF and disk activity questions

[Pommier, Rex R.]

Ron,

I need a vacation!  It is with much embarrassment that I report back to you 
that RMF and Omegamon are in fact on the same page.  They are both reporting 
horrendous response times on my disk during replication processing (200-250 
millisecond response times).  I was on the wrong page.  The backup report that 
I was looking at was showing backups running of my production volumes.  What I 
neglected to take into account was the fact that my backups don't backup the 
production volumes, but flashcopy targets.  These targets are on a separate 
range of channel addresses which I eliminated from the RMFPP report in order to 
not have to wade through so much data.  Lo and behold, once I included the 
correct range, the bad response times showed up just like I thought they should.

So I apologize for the mistake.  Now back to figuring out how to correct the 
problem.

Rex

Rex,

Perhaps an oversimplification, but if you had an IO rate of 5/sec at 200ms
response time for 20 minutes, and then 500/sec and 2ms response time for 10
minutes the average response time for the whole 30 minutes would be just shy
of 6ms.

Avgrspms=((5*200*1200)+(500*2*600))/((5*1200)+(500*600))
=5.88ms

I'd suggest starting an RMF II Background session to monitor these volumes
at intervals of one minute or less, using the delta option.

If the vendor needs to see RMF data as hard fact then this is just as good
as a monitor 1 report from RMFPP. A 5 second interval would give you a lot
granularity as to the behavior from when the clone process starts and ends,
and you can fold the five second data into larger intervals if required.

the product. It wasn't that we were anti DB2 (and no one was DB2 trained) it 
was strictly a resource issue and we just could not afford (nor was there 
available at the time) a faster system than we had. We were also very storage 
constrained as well and could not increase the memory (we were at max).

Re: I am trying to copy the contents of a usercatalog and am running into trouble

[Scott Rowe]

No, it can't be done, at least not like that.
 
A catalog import must be to the same name, and I don't think there can be any 
data in it before you import.
 
If you are trying to merge the contents of two catalogs, you need to use REPRO 
MERGECAT.

Re: TWS security question - CP protection

[Hal Merritt]

That's not really a RACF 'failure'. RACF is not providing any security here, 
only repository services.   

-Original Message-

Subject: TWS security question - CP protection

Hi:

We have TWS 8.2 (rather old, i know…) and z/OS 1.9.

We have TWS protected using RACF IBMOPC class. Our protection is basically 
implemented using “Fixed Resources”, but for some TWS sensible data we have 
also implemented protection at the “subresource level”. So, subresources 
“AD.OWNER” and “CP.OWNER” are specified in the Controller Parm.

However, protection for the Current Plan (CP) is not working exactly as 
expected.

Example:
User A has UPDATE access to “fixed resource” CP (protected by a discrete 
profile)
User A has NONE access to subresource CPO.JUAN (protected by a discrete profile)

Then, if A goes to Option 5 (Modify the Current Plan) and then selects 2 (List 
existing occurrences for further processing), he can indeed list all 
occurrences in the current plan for applications with JUAN as “OWNER ID”. And 
he can even browse them. I was expecting this to fail because of A lacking READ 
authority over ADO.JUAN.

What is more confusing is that a RACF failure is indeed logged:

ICH408I USER(A   ) GROUP(GROUPA ) NAME(MAUTALEN JUAN GUILLE)
  CPO.JUAN CL(IBMOPC  )
  INSUFFICIENT ACCESS AUTHORITY  
  ACCESS INTENT(READ   )  ACCESS ALLOWED(NONE   )

So, TWS asks RACF, RACF answers NO (RC=08), but TWS shows the listing anyway.

On the other hand, If A tries to Modify some occurrence field, then the attempt 
is rejected and this time the ICH408I message shows an “access intent” of 
UPDATE.

To sum it up, it looks as if TWS is not honoring RACF “READ protection” for 
subresources owned by CP (but is honoring UPDATE protection).

The internal RACF refresh needed by TWS was allways done after modifying 
protecting subresources profiles (Option 9.6 from the Main menu).

Any idea why this is not working as expected?



Thanks in advance for your help,

Re: API or visibility into PR/SM for Vendor-written programs?

[Rick Fochtman]

---
Is there an API or anything similar whereby a vendor-written program 
could have visibility into a z box at the PR/SM level (other than 
CSRSI)? Could "see" and potentially make configuration changes to "the 
whole box" as opposed to a single LPAR? Can one write code that runs at 
the "box" level, below the LPARs?


I'm sure that it's possible, but the interfaces are quite likely to be 
proprietary and non-published.


Certainly not a good idea, since the whole shop could be very adversely 
affected in the event of a user specification or programming error.


That's one of those areas where you should "Look but never touch."

Different processor architectures support a variety of pages sizes. For example,
Itanium or whatever it is called today has architected page sizes of 4K, 8K, 
16K,
64K, 256K, 1M, 4M, 16M, 64M, 256M, and 4G. Power supports 4K, 64K, and larger
implementation defined sizes such as 16M and 16G. I can

Although Linux supports multiple sizes of larger pages, as a practical matter 
using
more than one is cumbersome, and I not sure what, if any, application does. 
Pools of
each size have to be preallocated.

In Linux page tables are not sharable, so applications with large shared memory
segments with a lot of processes attached to them, such as some relational data
bases, can chew up a lot of real memory with page tables to map the shared 
segments.

Yes it is possible to convert from static sql to dynamic sql. 

Refer to the DB2 product programming references for examples on how to do it. 

Talk to your DBA about possible security adjustments and other issues dynamic

Re: DFHSM QUESTION - FINDING LIST OF DSNS

[Gibney, Dave]

You can only set it for future logging. There may well be info in DFHSM's log 
datasets:
DFHSM.HSMLOGX1
DFHSM.HSMLOGY1
DFHSM.HSMPDOX 
DFHSM.HSMPDOY

But, I'd need some real RTFM time to know if you can answer your question 
there. If your DFHSM STC has MSGLEVEL=(1,1), you might be able to get info from 
the allocation msgs in JESYSMSG. For that matter, your SMF records for the time 
frame should also have a record. Maybe the DAF freeware could help you.

I'm pretty sure I'm not following your plan...

If you copy via HCD to your DR disk, you still won't have your IODF/IOCDS 
aligned unless you never refresh that disk.

We replicate our disk to a warm site. When we first built our DR environment 
(local z9 -> remote z10), we performed part of the migration actions to get an 
IOCDS to POR and an IODF that matched the hardware. Once we IPL'd the 
z10 for the first time, I went in an cleaned up all the garbage from the 
migration and created a new IODF/IOCDS set. Then I copied the IODF, tersed 
it, and FTP'd it to my PC and back to my local z9. That way I have a DR IODF 
on my local disk that matches my remote definitions and it replicates with 
everything else.

Are you not refreshing your D9esy1 volume ??? That seems like a lot of 
complexity and wasted space to preserve an IODF.

What's your SETSYS ACTLOGMSGLVL(FULL | EXCEPTIONONLY | REDUCED) set at? If not 
FULL, then no messages for successful migrations.

A dismaying discovery in an early attempt to code a CGI-program in Rexx
for Apache: If I code:

execv( "/fully/qualified/pathname", argv );

o execv() first examines the magic number in "/fully/qualified/pathname"
  and determines that it is a Rexx EXEC.

o Then it searches directories in $PATH for argv[ 0 ], possibly
  finding someting completely different, perhaps not even an EXEC,
  with astonishing results.

Has this been fixed?

DFHSM QUESTION - FINDING LIST OF DSNS

Good Day All Readers,
 
I migrated (SMS) managed volume because there was ZERO DSCBS available for a 
ML0 volume -  HSEND MIGRATE VOLUME SMC001 DAYS(0).  I did this as a quick fix.  
I plan to expand the VTOC of the volume on the weekend.  My question is after 
the volume was migrated : 
ARC0523I SPACE MANAGEMENT ENDED ON VOLUME SBP203, 0635 DATA SET(S) 
MIGRATED/DELETED, 007694 TRACK(S) FREED,MIGRATED
I was trying to find the dsns that were either migrated or deleted.  I checked 
the MIGRATION LOG but I was unsuccessful.  Is there some place else where I can 
find them?
 
Thanks.

PFA Messages on z1.11

[Dazzo, Matt]

When starting task PFA I got msg AIR022I as discussed in the Problem Management 
Guide pg-41. Indicates path to the JVM is not correct.

In our /SYSTEM/etc/profile we have,

 PATH=/bin:/usr/lpp/java/J6.0_64/bin/
export PATH




In file   /u/pfauser/PFA_MESSAGE_ARRIVAL_RATE/inicontains the below. 
Which I thought directed PFA to use java 5.0?

PATH= /JavaPath/bin/classic:/JavaPath/bin
/* PATH= /usr/lpp/java/J5.0/bin/classic:/usr/lpp/java/J5.0/bin */
NLSPATH=  /usr/lpp/nls/msg/%L/%n:/usr/lib/msg/%L/%n.catxlc/bin
LIBPATH=  /JavaPath/bin:/JavaPath/bin/classic:/lib:/usr/lib:
/* LIBPATH=  /usr/lpp/java/J5.0/bin:/usr/lpp/java/J5.0/bin/classic:/lib:/usr/lib
LANG= C
JAVAPATH= /usr/lpp/bcp

I read the that PFA does not support 64 bit SDK, but shouldn't the values in  
u/pfauser/PFA_MESSAGE_ARRIVAL_RATE/ini  be the ones used?

Any help in educating me to what needs to change and what it should be is 
appreciated.

Thanks for letting me know about the list of files option.  That works via
SYSIN in batch.  The next problem I have is that I can't get the zip command
to just treat the file names as names without creating a directory
structure.  For instance, if I have a list of files like so -

H30D.QED.SJE.T47996.SZJRSH.SYSP
H30D.QED.SJE.T47997.SZJRSH.SYSP
The zip command treats the first 4 levels as directories and the zip output
looks like thsi -

Translating to ASCII...
  adding: H30D/QED/SJE/T47996/SZJRSH.SYSP   (in=428)
(out=229) (deflated 46%)
  adding: H30D/QED/SJE/T47997/SZJRSH.SYSP   (in=456)
(out=243) (deflated 47%)
total bytes=884, compressed=472 -> 47% savings
and when I ftp and unzip the archive I get a directory structure created of
the first 4 levels.  I've checked the doc but I can't see any way round
this.  Is there some option I've missed or am I stuck with that behaviour.

1- Sign in if you can  if not your IBM ID may not be authorized to use

2- Choose library from menu options on the left hand side of web page.
3-Then choose z10 EC or whatever your CEC"s model is ...You should see all

The ones that I send as reading recommendation are the following books...I am 
not sure whether Java is available for older models.

Using BCP/II API you can change weigths ,cap values enable disable softcap

Also using SNMP  interfaces you can get high level of some kind of

programs?

I was asked this question by an associate who is extremely knowledgeable
relative to software virtualization but relatively unfamiliar with PR/SM
(and z/VM).

Is there an API or anything similar whereby a vendor-written program could
have visibility into a z box at the PR/SM level (other than CSRSI)? Could
"see" and potentially make configuration changes to "the whole box" as
opposed to a single LPAR? Can one write code that runs at the "box" level,
below the LPARs?

Only rarely will I venture to disagree with Gil, but here goes -
You don't need JCL to build C, C++, Java or even assembler on z/OS.

We do all of our source development on Linux (using an IDE; Eclipse,
but any will do), and then to build we incrementally push changed
source files via Ant with either sftp or ftp and then do a "make" from
a z/OS ssh shell (or ssh Ant task).   The exception is Java, where we
build jars on our Linux workstations and just move them to z/OS via
Ant scripts - IMO it is foolish to compile java on z/OS.

 


And - if you wanted to, you could use the Dignus
tools in IBM compatible mode and get rid of moving
that source around; just move the objects and do the build
directly in your Eclipse environment.

Depending on what you're doing; you can even do the
pre-link + link directly in that Eclipse environment and
just have the one executable to move & execute.

Subject: [IBM-MAIN] API or visibility into PR/SM for Vendor-written
programs?

I was asked this question by an associate who is extremely knowledgeable
relative to software virtualization but relatively unfamiliar with PR/SM
(and z/VM).

Is there an API or anything similar whereby a vendor-written program could
have visibility into a z box at the PR/SM level (other than CSRSI)? Could
"see" and potentially make configuration changes to "the whole box" as
opposed to a single LPAR? Can one write code that runs at the "box" level,
below the LPARs?

Much as I am a long time MVS bigot, it would be remiss not to point out
that Linux supports various sized "large" pages across disparate
architectures - none of them smaller than 1 Meg I would think.
Not to mention multiple (concurrent) sizes within particular
architectures. I considered z/OS "late to the party" when this was
announced. Welcome, but late.
And if you want to utilise this as a z/VM guest ??? - too bad. All the
software and hardware is IBM proprietary - how is that acceptable ?

I have to question this ambivalent attitude. If TLB hit ratio is such a
major consideration, how can the possibility of allocation on a
"foreign" book be even contemplated as acceptable ?.
Even the current processors have shown susceptibility to performance
impacts due to poor CP allocation at LPAR activation - are you prepared
to accept that memory allocation won't be similarly impacted by poor
decisions ?.

Using BCP/II API you can change weigths ,cap values enable disable softcap

Also using SNMP  interfaces you can get high level of some kind of

Depending on experience level (among other things), it's not all that
unusual for the programmer to forget to zero register 15 before
terminating the program.  It's possible that your condition code of 3552
is simply a residual value in register 15 at program termination.

You break the analogy when you compare two different end-products, which
in and of themselves justify different pricing.  For software, consider
that IEFBR14 does exactly the same thing regardless what size machine
it's run on.  Thus, the "problem" now is to justify charging, say, five
dollars to run IEFBR14 on a small machine; five thousand dollars to run
IEFBR14 on a mid-size machine and five million dollars to run IEFBR14 on
the largest machine.

Re: QUERY IN ASSEMBLER

[Alan NTL POP recent]

Ram,
As others have said before, this indicates that R15 contains some left-over 
contents from earlier usage or calculations. 

Check in your program - somewhere you've loaded 3552 (x'DE0) into R15 shortly 
before exiting. As Terry said, to perform a "normal" 'XR R15,R15' or 'LA R15,0' 
to return with a zero condition code. 
Otherwise load a value of 4 (warning), 8 (error), etc to indicate your level of 
problem found. 

It's always good practice to ensure R15 specifically contains a value to 
indicate how the program finished.

Re: Reamining non-reusable memory after batchjobs

[Rob Scott]

Nothing leaps out at me from the eye-catchers.

"Saveareas in CSA" -- I shudder to think that anyone would do that.

If nothing looks like it comes from installation exits, then I would suggest 
that you list all of the vendors of ISV software that could be in the "job 
submission life cycle" and contact them to see if they know of any orphaned CSA 
issues. 

Show them the output you have and be prepared to take an in-flight dump to 
capture the CSA/ECSA.

The "AREA" chunks look like they might have interesting stuff at :

+x'08'  Next/Prev?
+x'0C'  Length of block (x'590' = 1424)
+x'10'  Next/Prev ?
+x'18'  ASCB ?

Plus after that there is job identity stuff and some date/time stamps as well.

Re: QUERY IN ASSEMBLER

[Terry Sambrooks]

Hi Ram,

You have had two other responses to your query in respect of COND CODE 3552
after running your assembler program. Both allude to Register 15 and both
are correct in that Register 15, or more precisely the low order two bytes
are used to pass the return code for a program, which becomes the COND CODE
in respect of top-level batch programs.

If you are using the RETURN macro, then it has a parameter to set the Return
Code (COND CODE) if you are restoring manually as may be the case if the PR
instruction is being used to exit the program, the register 15 needs to be
set appropriately just prior to the PR. Suitable instructions might be SR or
LA.

In the wider context of is there a list of COND CODES for assembler programs
the answer depends upon the precise meaning of the question. In this
instance I will assume that the question relates to writing ones own
programs and in the regard the choice is the author's. There is only one
basic rule and that relates to the upper limit of a valid return code or
cond code (see JCL Manual for details.) 

Below the upper limit it is generally regarded that COND CODE  means
everything is OK... Beyond that any integer is valid and can mean what the
programmer wants it to mean as far as the system is concerned any non-zero
COND CODE is still normal completion.

IBM Utilities tend to issue COND CODEs in step increments of four, i.e. 0,
4, 8, 12 etc. This is probably done because the Branch on Condition (BC)
instruction is 4 bytes long, and when combined with COND CODE 4, can be used
to construct BRANCH TABLES. These are useful optimization aids which could
be seen as an Assembler equivalent of EVALUATE, SELECT, or SWITCH in other
languages.

Re: utility type program

Hi Richard,

Do you have access to SELCOPY from CBL ? 

SELCOPY is not a no-cost product (double negative.. sorry!) but is designed 
specifically to do the type of low level data manipulation you have described.

Re: utility type program








> What was the design objective of IEBGENER, anyway?

Design objective? In 1965? They didn't have design objectives for utility
programs then -- other than, perhaps, to run in 20KB (on a 32KB 360/30). 
How
can a useless program have design objectives? It's already useless.
 
You do know that utility programs do no useful work, right? When I first
heard that claim, I took the bait. But I didn't like the answer, so I 
asked
for an example of a program that did do something useful. The response was 
a
square root subroutine. SQRT was useful because that was something that 
was
hard to do, one frequently needed to do it, and nobody wanted to write the
code to do it each time it was needed. Mathematical subroutine libraries
were "useful." A utility program, in contrast, was therefore a program 
that
did nothing useful. He did admit that, perhaps, a compiler was a useful
program. Since then, I have mostly, but not exclusively, dedicated my life
to writing what that particular Computer Science professor would have 
termed
useless programs. I would have been bored to death writing useful 
programs.
My career has, therefore, been happily wasted.
