Re: zFS files at disaster recovery site
Crabtree, Anne D pisze: So, would a logical thing to do (no pun intended) be to create a daily or weekly logical backup of all zfs aggregates? Then, if at dr, there are problems with the aggregates being restored from a physical backup, I would have the logical backup as plan B? IMHO it's good idea to clearly distinguish ReadOnly filesystems and ReadWrite ones. The first category should not be changed except applying service - that simplifies DR backup procedures. For the second category (RDWR) you can make further distinction: those necessary for system start up (i.e. /tmp, /var) and the rest, which can be mounted later. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland -- BRE Bank SA ul.

Re: performance data for networkusage(TCP/IP, ethernet-adapter... on zOS)
Leo But my company's product runs on many zOS-systems, ... I'm not at all sure I understand what you are saying here. I assumed you wanted performance information for the system or systems which you ran. What has my company's product got to do with it? Just assuming for the moment that you really do want advice on how to manage multiple systems, without having examined the Ernie's presentation in detail but having read a bit about OSA management in the past, you would be operating a type of client-server called actually manager-agent where you work with one client/manager and can access/manage many servers/agents. The agent is an SNMP agent and that comes with z/OS Communications Server at no extra cost, I believe. The agent is actually a subagent of the SNMP agent, it is called The OSA-Express direct SNMP subagent and is documented in the Open Systems Adapter-Express Customer's Guide and Reference manual: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss? uid=isg2bc4ae2e43bfcf12c85256cee000d1130 Since the agent support is at no extra cost as I believe, the number of systems is irrelevant since each system will necessarily be running z/OS Communications Server. SNMP being a very open management technique, you can implement the manager any way you like. You can use a product which costs money such as NetView or you can use a product which you yourself create which costs your time and effort. I've done some of the latter sort of SNMP work - although I was using a NetView base - and it was fun! And therefore I am investigating to get out some data without additional software, only with using existing APIs or callable services and so on. What I have just described is exactly that - using SNMP and sockets programming.

Re: Someone has training manuals or notes that can help me
Hilario, Despite the off-topic comments, you have a legitimate request. And I suspect that over the next couple of years, there will be similar requests on this forum from other new sysprogs. Before you can function as a system programmer, you will need to become familiar with the mainframe. I have a link on my website for a couple of z/OS 101 Primers - http://www.watsonwalker.com/articles.html, which is one place you can start. For you, one of the best will be the Redbook called the P/390: OS/390 New User's Cookbook - SG24-4757 - http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg244757.html?Open. This was developed for a developer's machine in 1999, but it is quite handy for a new sysprog. By using the links provided in responses to your question and the links in my primer, you should have a good start on learning the mainframe. With that in hand, however, the task of migrating from z/OS 1.7 to z/OS 1.11 is almost an impossible task without some experienced help. No matter what country you're in, you can probably locate someone who can help you remotely, and I think you'll need that. Depending on the size of your current installation, you might well have a better chance of success with installing z/OS 1.11 in a separate LPAR and slowly move the libraries and user to the new machine. If you go this route, try to use IBM's defaults whenever possible, rather than create new and difficult to manage naming standards. My best advice is to get your vendor, IBM or 3rd party, to get you started.

I don't think you disagreed on anything, just clarified things a bit :-) (I was too much in a hurry yesterday.) A Brave man !! ... :-) ... uh oh. Seems I need to stop saying anything :-) Not that that is going to stop me :-(. That is not correct. CANCEL does a POST of the CANCEL ECB, on which the initiator task is WAITing. The initiator task then does a CALLRTM TYPE=ABTERM of the jobstep task. Which in turn tries to get its daughter tasks to terminate by issuing the appropriate detach abends to them. At least that's what I remember they should do. And the hang occurs when one of them daughters gets control in their recovery routine and does something stupid like rely on something that just isn't there (anymore - like an ECB that will never be posted anymore because the application supposed to post it has forgotten to do it when *it* terminated) causing our address space to hang indefinitely. In some cases a second cancel helps, but for the past years I haven't seen that to work anymore. And in the case of an IMS MPR/BMP, this point usually means restart of all of IMS (I get involved when IMS doesn't know about the MPR/BMP anymore, but the address space is caught in the cancel/force arm/force loop. At that point I get to try the callrtm program. And the culprit in thise cases has always been Xpediter, and they have been unable to determine what they do wrong to cause an IMS restart at the best online time - every time.) If that situation occured, automation setup and operational procedure were both correct. In fact, we don't want our operators to use cancel unless we tell them to, either. Much less force.

We compared the private under both z/os versions and, if anything, the 1.11 seems a little larger. The application folks are working the issue, so I'm just looking for any differences in z/os that may help the application folks better craft their solutions. The nature of the application makes it very difficult to reproduce the problem in a test mode. Thanks!!

Re: z/os 1.11 and low private
Hal, Are there any differences in IEFUSI memory limits between systems? Are Language Environment runtime options the same? Final question: Is the application written in COBOL or PL/I and/or Language Environment - compliant? In that case, you might be able to force/move COBOL WORKING STORAGE (or equivalent memory allocations) above the 16M - line by means of an L/E runtime parm, /HEAP(x,y), thus freeing up storage below the line. Here's an old JCL sample I have lying around from the early 90's and some comments I wrote at that time. The problem program I was dealing with tended to run for several hours, required varying amounts of storage and then abended at end of execution when attempting to close files (CLOSE needed some storage below the line and couldn't get it anymore). //STEP1 EXEC PGM=JX100, // PARM='/RPTSTG(ON),RPTOPTS(ON),HEAP(16M,1M)' //* HEAP(16M,1M) MOVES COBOL WORKING STORAGE ABOVE THE LINE INTO //* 31BIT TERRITORY BECAUSE THE INITAL SIZE REQUEST IS 16M, THAT //* IS MORE THAN IS AVAILABLE BELOW THE 16M LINE. SECONDARY AMOUNTS //* ARE ADDED ON ABOVE THE LINE, TOO. //* THIS OPTION IS USEFUL FOR PROGRAMS THAT NEED LOTS OF MEMORY //* AND TEND TO ABEND S878 DUE TO RUNNING OUT OF STORAGE BELOW 16M //* BECAUSE L.E. REPEATEDLY GETMAINED SMALL AMOUNTS OF STORAGE //* UNTIL EVERY LAST BIT WAS GONE. //* REMEMBER: IN BATCH, THE DEFAULT FOR HEAP IS (32K,32K) BELOW //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* RPTSTG AND RPTOPTS REPORTS GO HERE Those comments were based on early L.E. behavior and may be outdated, so please look up the L.E. runtime options in effect in your system. Perhaps that will help solve your problem. Try the RPTSTG and RPTOPTS options to see the actual memory needs and options in effect.

And I suspect that over the next couple of years, there will be similar requests on this forum from other new sysprogs. Before you can function as a system programmer, you will need to become familiar with the mainframe. I have a link on my website for a couple of z/OS 101 Primers - http://www.watsonwalker.com/articles.html, which is one place you can start. For you, one of the best will be the Redbook called the P/390: OS/390 New User's Cookbook - SG24-4757 - http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg244757.html?Open. This was developed for a developer's machine in 1999, but it is quite handy for a new sysprog. By using the links provided in responses to your question and the links in my primer, you should have a good start on learning the mainframe. With that in hand, however, the task of migrating from z/OS 1.7 to z/OS 1.11 is almost an impossible task without some experienced help. No matter what country you're in, you can probably locate someone who can help you remotely, and I think you'll need that. Depending on the size of your current installation, you might well have a better chance of success with installing z/OS 1.11 in a separate LPAR and slowly move the libraries and user to the new machine. If you go this route, try to use IBM's defaults whenever possible, rather than create new and difficult to manage naming standards. My best advice is to get your vendor, IBM or 3rd party, to get you started.

abend percolation
Hi. Brief summary: how to get a main task to abend with the same code as an abending sub-task. I noticed a problem a couple of days ago with a process we have had in place for a long time. We have a main program whose sole function is to set an address space non-swappable and bump the dispatching priority, before attaching a TCB to run the real target program. The problem is that when the TCB running the target program abends (in this case, it was an S806 because the steplib was faulty), the main task returns an RC0 back to the operating system. Here is the current ATTACH ATTACH EPLOC=PGMNAME,ECB=ECB, * SM=PROB,* KEY=PROP, * RSAPF=YES I'm trying to get the abend to percolate back to the main task and back to the operating system. I've tried specifying an ESTAI on the ATTACH, and the ESTAI routine gets control for abends, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to tell GCS to percolate. Any hints? I just need the job to abend instead of returning RC0 (or a default RC that I set in the ESTAI routine). New attach: LAR1,PARMPTR ATTACH EPLOC=PGMNAME,ECB=ECB, * SM=PROB,* KEY=PROP, * RSAPF=YES, * ESTAI=TERMEXIT I'm trying to make this as simple as possible, but I've tried different variations of SETRP as well.

Lizette, TPX can optionally produce SMF records. To see if you currently are, go into TPX administration and enter 1 for System Options Then Select the System Options Table you are using. Enter 8 for Optional Parameters. If you have an SMF Record Number specified, you should be creating SMF records. The records are described in the System Customization Guide. There is a MACRO for them in GENLIB(MONSMF). It is relatively easy to find what applications are being used. The interval record might have the max users in it, if not you may have to keep track of TPX signon/signoff events to calculate it. -- Richard -- 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: abend percolation
,ECB=ecb addr Specifies the address of an event control block for the subtask. The system uses this to indicate the termination of the subtask. This enables the issuer of the attach to wait on it, using the WAIT macro, and enables the system to post it on behalf of the terminating task. The return code, (when the task terminates normally), or the completion code, (when the task terminates abnormally), is placed in the event control block. When this parameter is coded, a DETACH macro must be issued to remove the subtask from virtual storage after the subtask terminates. The system assumes that the ECB is in the home address space.

If it ain't broke (and it isn't!), don't fix it. On Fri, Oct 15, 2010 at 7:53 PM, W. Kevin Kelley wkkel...@optonline.netwrote: MPF has the following behavior: If SUP(YES) or SUP(ALL) is coded on an MPFLSTxx message definition or on a .NO_ENTRY statement, any matching message will always be written to hardcopy (unless overridden by an MPF exit) even if the message -- when issued -- specified no hardcopy (i.e. MPF always forces a matching message that is to be suppressed from display to be hardcopied). MPF was created to reduce console message rates for the 3084 machine (our first 4-way MP -- all of about 27 MIPs). Back then, every message was considered sacrosanct, so a design decision was made to guarantee that a message could always be found in the SYSLOG even if it was suppressed from display. That design decision no longer makes sense. Messages are no longer sacrosanct; we've allowed you to delete them completely for quite awhile (even if we didn't make it easy for you to do so). As part of the Console Restructure, we enhanced the handling of MONITOR messages so that automation programs could receive the messages without the messages having to be written to the SYSLOG or OPERLOG. Unfortunately, it appears that if you create an entry in MPFLSTxx for a MONITOR message (say IEF403I) and MONITOR processing has requested that the message be issued no hardcopy, MPF will override the no hardcopy and force the message to be hardcopied. To make a long story short: we are proposing to change MPF processing so that it no longer forces matching messages to hardcopy. If a message is issued requesting that the message be hardcopied (the default), MPF will honor it; if the message is issued requesting that the message not be hardcopied, MPF will no longer override the request (forcing the message to be hardcopied).

Using the CSNBKPI call in ICSF
Hey all, I am trying to use the CSNBKPI call in ICSF and am creating PINGEN keys but the funny thing is that they don't agree with the same keys created by the KGUP utility so I know I must be doing something wrong when i'm calling CSNBKPI - for instance if I generate PINs using the key created by CSNBKPI i get one set of PIN offsets. If I use what is supposedly the same key value that was created by the KGUP utility, i get entirely different PIN offsets. I am assuming the KEY_PART parameter of CSNBKPI call is supposed to be the clear key value of one part of the key. Is that assumption correct? For instance, let's say that the clear key value of a 2DES PINGEN key is x'0123456789abcdef' for part one and x'fedcba9876543210' for the second part. I assume that I would put just those values into the KEY_PART parameter; That I'd call it twice, once with the first clear key value and then a seoncd time with the second clear key value. Then a third time to complete the key. If this is not correct, can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Re: Using the CSNBKPI call in ICSF
Difficult to know what to suggest as the steps you took appear logical. Just one thing comes to mind, when you generated the key using KGUP did you have special secure mode set to YES?. Is this your normal operating setting or could SSM have been set to NO since that key was generated?. I don't know what would happen to CSNBPGN if SSM is NO. I'm assuming you checked return and reason codes from the call.

I work in a z/OS 1.11 environment using HCR7751. I have created a COBOL batch program that will hopefully be used in the future by our Information Security dept to add 2 key parts to build a PINGEN keytype (2DES). It is control card driven and each Infosec officer will place the key label and their hex key value on the control card. They will indicate if this is the first key part or second key part and run the job. The control card info will be read and the key token will be built (the first time) with the CSNBKTB Call, then the CSNBKPI will import the key part. The key label will be Created or Written depending the circumstances (using CSNBKRC or CSNBKRW whether this is a new key or existing). For the second key part the key label is Read (CSNBKRR) and then the CSNBKPI process is called using the key label name as the key_identifier field to update the key on the CKDS. Lastly when both key parts have been added one of the InfoSec officers will run the job one last time to activate the PINGEN key using another control card parameter. After I had built this program in test and created a test key I was able to run the PIN generation service (CSNBPGN) and successfully generate some test PIN offsets. So far so good – I was ready to pat myself on the back! Now prior to building the key using my new key import program, we already had a PINGEN key out in test that was recently built using the KGUP utility. Its test key value is the exact same value. Using this other PINGEN key I can also Call CSNBPGN to issue PIN offsets. The problem is the PIN offset values produced by the KGUP Key are not the same as the PIN offset values produced by sister key above that was built using CSNBKPI Calls!!! At first I thought it’s got to be a simple logic error. I checked my code, the length of parameters. That looked good. I read each of the labels (the key built using CSNBKPI calls and the key built using KGUP) and dumped their key tokens and looked at the control vectors in their tokens. Both matched. Then I thought that perhaps the Key_Part parameter of the CSNBKPI call might be the 16 byte hex representation rather than the 8 byte binary value of the key part. I looked at the actual part 1 and 2 of the 2DES key in each token – these values aren’t the same between the KGUP key and the CSNBKPI key, but I’m thinking that ICSF is sophisticated enough to disguise those values somehow. Can anyone provide any clues as to how to research this very weird issue? Because the KGUP utility is tried and true, I have to believe it’s got to be the Key Part Import process I just built. But until I can get the two to match, I can’t certify that the key part import code works. Any help or suggestions of next steps would be appreciated!

The report became so well known I was asked by the data center manager to send him a copy as well. There was no doubt about it programmers were lazy people. I forced an issue about not using block contains 1 record and came up with a simple report showing those and simply by reblocking (recompile with one statement chamged) got us back 3.5 percent cpu time (this was 20-25 jobs) .

Re: Potential z/OS MPF behavior change -- comments please
-snip As part of the Console Restructure, we enhanced the handling of MONITOR messages so that automation programs could receive the messages without the messages having to be written to the SYSLOG or OPERLOG. Unfortunately, it appears that if you create an entry in MPFLSTxx for a MONITOR message (say IEF403I) and MONITOR processing has requested that the message be issued no hardcopy, MPF will override the no hardcopy and force the message to be hardcopied. To make a long story short: we are proposing to change MPF processing so that it no longer forces matching messages to hardcopy. If a message is issued requesting that the message be hardcopied (the default), MPF will honor it; if the message is issued requesting that the message not be hardcopied, MPF will no longer override the request (forcing the message to be hardcopied). ---unsnip I would have a problem with this.

To be honest I do not ever recall having duplicate records except when there were tape problems and in an attempt to fix the tape problem one or two duplicates snuck in.

One of the junior sysprogs wrote a fixer program for spanning issues. It was somewhat of a kludge but it did work. When we went dasd for our smf files we stopped having many problems that I guess were endemic to tape. We had put all of out SMF history files on the 3850 MSS and it was fast and reasonably error proof. At another job we did not have the luxury of DASD and put the SMF to tape. I used to use weekly tapes and the operators hated me as they knew they were in for a lot of tape mounts. Although that quickly disappeared when we got a SILO. Operators had it to easy after that.

Re: Potential z/OS MPF behavior change -- comments please
Good comments from you all. Thanks! The specific problem we are attempting to solve is interactions between MONITOR message generation and MPF. With the changes we made during the Console Restructure, MONITOR messages can be produced without a console requesting them. You can request that the messages not be queued to a console for display purposes (but will be queued to EMCS consoles for automation purposes) and you can request that the messages not be logged. All of this was done to allow customers whose automation require the messages to receive the messages but not have the messages -- optionally -- go anywhere else. The problem is that if a customer requests that the messages not be logged but puts an entry for the message in MPF, MPF undoes the no logging. The simple solution is to remove the message entry from MPF, but perhaps the customer wanted to drive an MPF exit, and then would be unable to do so. There is a more general question and that is how should we be handling messages that are being generated solely for automation and being solely consumed by automation? The MONITOR messages are but the tip of the iceberg in this regard. We have had requests for ways of specifying on commands that the command response message is to be returned to the console (typically an EMCS automation console) but is not to be logged. From the comments I've seen so far, whatever we do must be optional. W.

Re: How to determine maximun 3720 users (terminals) logged on
Lizette Richard Peurifoy's suggestion may have everything you need. It might have been helpful if you had emphasised *when* you needed the information: 1. After the event - in my experience with SMF from long ago, SMF is best for this option 2. As it's all happening I can imagine your suits actually asked you for 1 and, if so, you might have posed the question as the following: - I have been asked to determine the maximum number of users *there have been* and what *applications*[1] (cics, ims,etc) that they *were* using. If your suits are interested in real-time, what I would do is turn to REXX programming wrapped around VTAM DISPLAY commands, specifically, the DISPLAY APPLS command[2]. I would hope you could rely on a naming convention in order to decide which APPL names were used by your Communications Server (CS) TN3270E server address space - which I assume you are using[also 2] - and another naming convention in order to decide which APPL names were used by your TPX address space. That way you could certainly, at the moment the VTAM command was entered, discover the maximum number of active CS TN3270E sessions/connections, the maximum number of active TPX relayed sessions and the applications to which they are connected, possibly as a total in the case of each application APPL name. Checking how to apply maximum efficiency in limiting the output only to useful cases, I see that SCOPE=ACTSESS would be best. You may need to be sure that any one CS TN3270 session was really using TPX as opposed, say, to a direct logon to another application. In any case you will need to issue the DISPLAY ID commands from the names found in the DISPLAY APPLS command. This would be quite a fascinating problem to solve - in the execution if not in the essential design. If now you wanted to create your own SMF records based on the numbers you discover, you could use the NetView VPDLOG command which, contrary to what is implied by the name, is a perfectly general purpose command for creating SMF records. If this is an useful suggestion, you could use the NetView EVERY command with the clist suggested above so that you can create SMF records at regular intervals, say every 10 minutes. Once you've taken charge of your tools, you can do anything! Chris Mason [1] It's possible that the word sessions you used here refers to the name given to applications which a 3270 user can access in TPX - as nomenclature, potentially confusing! [2] I first keyed DISPLAY TERMS - distracted by the terminals in your Subject line perhaps - and then had a Homer Simpson moment!

Re: Potential z/OS MPF behavior change -- comments please
The SyzMPF/z product we market has those same capabilities and (not just because we market the product) I think it's better to allow individual sites to decide on an individual basis what they want done with messages than to change the entire default behavior. Creating a new function or adding a new type of behavior is a great idea, to change the default is a bad idea. I realize that it is looked at as a default because of some past negligence, but it's a default none-the-less. The whole concept of default behavior changes when you start changing the defaults. I don't think it stagnates a product to establish and adhere to certain default behavior. I think it's a sign of a great product to stick to the rules and not change the rules because it might suit you at that period in time. What would keep IBM from deciding next year that it has another better idea on what the default should be? Personally I have used seemingly trivial Syslog entries to debug and correct issues that would have been difficult or next to impossible to do in a timely manner without them. I don't think making a no-log default is ever a good idea.

This problem just started last week. This URL works on my Windows XP version of Firefox 3.6.10 and my IE 8 browser running in my Parallels Windows session. Does anyone else have a different URL I could try with my Mac browsers? BTW, I tried to give feedback via the Offering Information Feedback but that web page is so broken it won't let me enter 200 characters into the Message box even though the note indicate 500 characters is the limit for the box. This is using IE 8. Thanks -- Craig Dudley Systems Communications Sciences, Inc. 244 Poor Farm Rd.
