Re: symbolic date parameter (EZACFSM1)
Have you considered the system symbol interpreter called EZACFSM1? I checked to make sure it was available in Comm Server 1.7. This is what your sample job will turn into: I've followed the old, frequent thread about variables in JCL for ages, and it never occurred to me that this program was able to did the trick. For trivial things like create a SYSIN-type dataset for FTP or IDCAMS, where date and time within a dataset name is required, EZACFSM1is perfect, instead of creating, say, an ad-hoc REXX which does the same. However, it doesn't look to me as the solution IBM recommends to solve the 'system variable in jcl' issue, otherwise the use and scope of this pgm would have been more widely published, and not only on a single, spare page in the z/OS x.yy IP Configuration Guide. So my question(s) to this forum are what other mates sysprog do with this program. Do you use it ? Did you widespread the use to programmers or other staff who use jcl ? Do you see any remarkable drawbacks which I don't see ? Are there any statements of direction from IBM ? TIA.

We replaced AbendAID and Xpediter by DumpMaster and TraceMaster (Macro4) and had very little issues. The main reason was cost and Compuwares unwillingness to do anything about the astronomical licensing fees. As a result all Compuware products were replaced by products from other vendors like Macro4, IBM et al.

Re: Replace Compuware products with CA
OIC after the major outage and high cost associated with the new system, management is trying to save a few dollars on the old system that has been rock solid for many years. I would gamble that just the cost of keeping DMV offices open on a legal holiday wold pay what ever savings there might be in license fees for about forever. Given that the maintance cost for many products is 1/10 of the then current license fee the expected break even for product replacement vendor fees alone is estimated at 10 years.

If you look at an image profile on the HMC there is a security tab. Under that tab there is an option called Global performance data control. By default it is checked (on).

Some other fun ones: 7170 (basically a parallel channel interface to a DEC Unibus card cage, with a DEC DELNI network card in it, controlled by an original IBM PC with (wait for it!) 64K of RAM!), Genned as a CTC. Very temperamental, but it got bits on the wire. 8232 (a channel attached PC/AT that came with a Ungermann/Bass 10mbit Ethernet card that jammed easily on networks with lots of collisions) also genned as a CTC 3172 (aka LAN Channel Station, or LCS) genned as 3088, could support up to 3 network adapters (TR, Ethernet, ATM), although you were sad if you had the ATM adapter and tried to add anything else to it). This is the most common emulated adapter, and was available internally on the MP3K, FlexES and now zPDT. Came in parallel and ESCON versions, I think. BusTech BTI 1, 2 and 3: very popular with universities, as they were about a quarter to half the price of a 8232 or 3172 and took up a LOT less space (4 RU vs a half-height cabinet for a 3172). V1 required a special driver, but later models emulated a 3088. Supported Ethernet, TR, and ATM in various forms, and you could get one unit to support up to 4 adapters (the vendor sold only 3, but there was plenty horsepower for 10 Mbit Ethernet. ATI Hyperchannel -- did 10 and 100mbit Ethernet direct from the channel interface. Expensive, usually used when you had a Cray to do computing and the Z system was just playing smart I/O device to the Cray. X25IPI -- IP over X.25. You needed a FEP for this thing, or the internal X.25 interface in a 4361. Evil. Pure Evil. SNA LU - IP over SNA. VTAM set up a LU-LU session, and the IP stack used it like a serial line. Weird, but it worked. Cisco CIP - channel attached 75xx Cisco router. Parallel and ESCON versions, genned as a 3088. Fast (for the day) and very flexible. Could drive dozens of interfaces, offload 3270 traffic, deal with up to SONET speeds, bridge Ethernet and TR and ATM networks. The channel interface was the real bottleneck. Too bad there never was a FICON version. Cisco CPA - channel attached 72xx Cisco router. Similar to a CIP, but designed for the smaller 7200 series routers. Also had a parallel and ESCON version. Real CTC/CNCs -- if you had a 3088, you could use it to connect to other Z hosts and do IP over the channel. Fast, for the day, but not very useful unless you were VERY visionary and fought the SNA Wars well. The lockstep nature of the channel protocol was the big bottleneck. About that point was where the OSAs appeared. The stack still has the code to support most of these devices, but IBM (and the other vendors) probably don't support them officially any more. -- 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 -- 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: SMS failure with dynamic allocation in FTP
I can't be sure. The book says:
quote
SMS Reason Code (S99ERSN): A fullword field that contains the SMS reason
code explaining the failure. The system returns a reason code in this
field only when an error code beginning with X'97xx' is returned in the
S99ERROR field of the request block.
IGD messages accompany the SMS reason code depending on the allocation
message processing options in the S99EOPTS field of the request block.
(See Processing Options (S99EOPTS).) The SMS reason code also
corresponds to an IGD system message that further describes the error. For
example, if the reason code is X'4379' (decimal 17273), the IGD message
that contains the decimal equivalent, IGD17273I, describes the error.
/quote
0x03F6 is 1014 decimal. There is a message IGD01014I which says:
IGD01014I DATA SET ALLOCATION REQUEST FAILED - SPECIFIED {DATACLAS

Re: Require Syslog data for previous period with specific time range
We unload our SYSLOG every day at 5 p.m. . We do an operator command: W L. We then run an external writer which picks up sysout class L and places it in a dataset. This dataset is then added to the end of another dataset (DISP=MOD) which is a week-to-date type of dataset. On Sunday, we take this week-to-date and put it on tape as a GDG, then clear the week-to-date dataset. You need to know what your shop does. I don't know how to tell you how to find that out. I'd look at the top of the current SYSLOG to see what caused it to be cut and whether something sucked it up somehow. I have a program which I call LOGSORT. It sorts the SYSLOG output above in date/time order. So, when I need this sort of thing, I run this LOGSORT program and put the output into a disk dataset. I then edit that disk dataset and delete out what is not required. As you can see, this is very labour intensive. But for us, this is OK, because we just don't use SYSLOG much. There are products on the market designed to make this easier. We don't use any of them. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.

AnyNet, dead or alive? (Was: Re: IBM-MAIN Digest - 19 Sep 2010 to 20 Sep 2010 (#2010-263) - Was: z/OS, TCP/IP, and OSA)
Allan AFAIK ANYNET is no longer supported. This is one of those points that is very easy to discover from the on-line manuals - just as the original question was, come to think of it - and, more recently a probably for which the exact opposite is a certainty. I may find sufficient energy to expand on the latter later. On the following bookshelf for z/OS V1R7, we still find the AnyNet feature manuals: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves/F1A1BK61 On the following bookshelf for z/OS V1R8, we find they have mysteriously disappeared: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves/F1A1BK81 Well, it's not *so* mysterious when we take the trouble to dip into the so- called z/OS Communications Server New Function Summary, Version 1 Release 8, GC31-8771-02, manual, we find the following (new function indeed!): quote | 2.2.2.1 Current support considerations ... | z/OS V1R8 Communications Server discontinues support of AnyNet®. | AnyNet consists of two functions: SNA over IP, and Sockets over SNA. | You can implement Enterprise Extender (EE) as the replacement for the | SNA over IP function. There is no replacement for Sockets over SNA. /quote Replaced w/Enterprise Extender Yes and no as you can see above if you read it all. Of course, if you rely on the following piece of mendacity, you will fall into the trap of imagining that AnyNet has been replaced in full: quote 2.3.1.2 Future support considerations Be aware of the following future support considerations and refer to z/OS Migration for information about migration. z/OS V1R7 Communications Server is planned to be the last release to support AnyNet. After z/OS V1R7, the function will be removed from the product. You can implement Enterprise Extender (EE) as the replacement for AnyNet. /quote The manual authors do not seem to be able to read what they themselves have written within the scope of one manual here. Definitely a double-bogey! There is another one, i an ware of Anynetwhether it is used any more, I dont know. Which, being translated, is probably intended to say the following: There is another one (means of supplying an IP interface to z/OS Communications Server) of which I am aware: AnyNet. Whether or not it is used any more, I don't know. Actually, what may have been in mind is that flavour of subset of AnyNet products - which extend(ed) to many platforms, not just MVS - which everyone - except the person exercising his fingertips at the moment! - tends to overlook, namely the brilliant AnyNet Sockets over SNA which allows a superb IP application - not actually the IP kernel - to use the superb SNA network for transport rather than the ramshackle IP network. This is the inherent characteristic of the Multiprotocol *Transport* Networking (MPTN) architecture of which the AnyNet products, not limited to the z/OS platform, are implementations. So, in the last analysis, it's interesting to mention AnyNet and, by implication, MPTN, but no flavour of AnyNet is actually an implementation of an IP interface.

not wise, but how to reduce CPU to receive SMP/E PTFs.
I'm just goofing around. I put in a PTF order on ShopzSeries. The downloaded file structure contains two files of interest.

So I use Download Director to get them in a subdirectory on my Linux machine. I found, in this particular case, the first SMPHOLD.pax.Z file contained a file called SMPHOLD. It turns out that this is an EBCDIC encoded file with 80 characters records with no record boundries. the SMPMCS.pax.Z file contains a file called SMPPTFIN. If you don't want to use all the CPU that a RECEIVE FROMNTS uses, it appears that you can ftp these files to sequential files like: bin quote site wrap lrecl=80 recfm=fb pri=1000 sec=100 cylinders put SMPPTFIN put SMPHOLD And the resulting file on z/OS will actually be usable for a standard RECEIVE. Of course, this does not work with anything which has relfiles. Again, I would never do this myself. But I found it interesting for this one, single, application.

Re: Triple DES encryption
The instructions are enabled by installing the no-charge feature code #3863. Once that is installed, there are several crypto instructions available that you can implement via assembler routines. See the POPS manual for your particular machine. As Phil points out in a later append, depending on which machine you have, AES may be available as well. Another option, once feature code #3863 is installed, is to use ICSF to invoke those instructions. Since ICSF is a no-charge component of z/OS, you have it available, it's simply a matter of setting it up (define the keystores and create the options data set that defines the crypto environment). While using the assembler routines will provide better performance, using the ICSF APIs to invoke the crypto operations will provide portability. If you migrate to another machine (for example, for a DR test), when you use the APIs, ICSF can make some decisions on your behalf on where to route the work (using hardware or possibly software if hardware support isn't available). In addition to the sample callable routines on the IBM TechDoc website, there are a number of other white papers and technical notes available. Go to www.ibm.com/support/techdocs and search on 'Crypto'. Hope that helps.

I've tried the CSNBENC routine of ICSF, however, it returns with RC=12 indicating that it doesn't have the necessary hardware. Thanks from the bottom side of the planet, Tom, TDES is, I believe, available with the CPACF hardware instructions enabled on your z990/z9/z10 processor. These are a no-charge activation of hardware instructions, no software involved. ICSF doesn't enter the picture at all, you have to write your own assembler function to use them. Look in the z/Architecture Principles of Operation, Chapter 7, instruction Cipher Message. TDEA-192 encryption is supported, using IBM's terminology (3 cryptographic keys, 8 bytes each, 192 bits of encryption).

Re: SQA/ESQA HAS EXPANDED INTO CSA/ECSA
Matan, The display you gave is for real storage use. You need the virtual storage view for the common areas. RMF monitor III has this display. By itself an overflow from SQA/ESQA to CSA/ECSA is not a problem. That is so long as you have ample room in CSA/ECSA to accommodate it. If the overflow is for SQA to CSA you are talking about areas with limited size below the line. Just increases the size of either may reduce your private area below the line by 1 megabyte. So in this case I would do serious investigation of why the increase. Most use of common has been move above the line. If the overflow is from ESQA to ECSA then your ECSA is probably big enough to handle it. If you do not have a lot of free space in ECSA already then increase at the next IPL. If you have an address space that requires a large extended private (such as DB2 with SAP) then be careful not to reduce extended private too much. If you continue to have an overflow then you may want to also increase ESQA (although this is not essential). Note that some overflow pages may hang around until the next IPL even though the total ESQA requirement has gone down. This is because the requester of the overflow pages is still using them. So the message in itself is not a problem. It should trigger you to investigate more as detailed above.

Re: Identify all MVS images in a CEC
Hi Mark, If you look at an image profile on the HMC there is a security tab. Under that tab there is an option called Global performance data control. By default it is checked (on). you're right. It is turned on. I would never have connected this to the Type70 records, and I don't think anyone here is aware of that! Based on our discussion, I would have thought 'cross partition control' would need to get turned on :-) Guess I need to read the book. I remember learning about the option on the first box I used LPARs with (3090J I think), so it has been there as long as PR/SM has been around. That was between my time. :-) Best regards, Barbara -- 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

Thanks to this, this installation has finally gotten rid of their practise of always running with an ESQA overflow into ECSA. That had caused a number of problems (before my time - but I was told that I had debugged one of those problems back when I did IBM software support and in no uncertain terms refused to find out what the 1% more usage was that brought the system to a slow and agonizing death. My colleague took great pleasure telling me this when I started here and the same thing happened and I again refused to analyze the 1%. Instead I insisted that the extended areas needed to get increased - which they finally did.)

Re: New fixes and message for MFNetDisk's users
There are public and private discussions, the latter being frank, open, and honest. You right. You can say what you want, what you feel, what your intuition say to you and the most important, you can say true you can say false and everything will be OK. In public if you say false you will be criticize. That happen to me a lot because I am human.
