Re: *IEA061E REPLACEMENT ASID SHORTAGE HAS BEEN DETECTED
The most common reason for DB2 address spaces to be marked non-reusable these days is that they have a cross-memory bind to the RRS address space. You *could* probably relieve the shortage by stopping and re-starting the RRS address space - however there are implications to doing this while you have active workload that could be using RRS services. Do you shutdown your DB2 subsystems on a regular basis? If so - maybe you need to consider if you still need to do this. The more often you shutdown DB2, the more chance you have of chewing up the ASVT slots.

DB2 Restart Frequency - was Re: *IEA061E REPLACEMENT ASID SHORTAGE HAS BEEN DETECTED

Re: fopen and CICS
Very true about the automatic switch to the QR TCB for a non-threadsafe CICS function. I guess I should have said that doing that switch is relatively expensive and so really needs to be avoided as much as possible. And I cannot remember exactly when the code switches back to the L8/L9 TCB from the QR TCB. You really don't want to do any nasty UNIX code on the QR TCB as it can greatly impact CICS responsiveness. I think the QR and L8/9 switching logic varies depending on the CICS release level and maybe even maintenance. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.

Re: EMC/RSA SecurID products hacked
There is only one way to compromise the OTP tokens and that is to get the seed used to generate the OTP codes. The compromise is permanent, for the entire lifetime of the token, as one can generate any OTP code. First of all, RSA should not have kept the seeds after the delivery of the tokens to the clients - there is no need to do so. Why did they store the seeds? Claiming to do so for helping client who misplace the seeds would be hilarious. That RSA probably does not have such a great network and system security would not be such a surprise, we have seen this before with Cisco, Microsoft and other players. One wouldn't dare to have a look at IBM, of course. We had clients looking into multiple factor authentication and we have always recommended staying away from tokens that come pre-programmed, with the secret seed burned in the factory (regardless if they come from USA or Guangdong). Pre-programmed tokens are as safe as their production facility and this could potentially be safe, but not verifiable, which in security means clearly unsafe. OTP tokens can be made secure and this can be easily achieved by programming the client's own seeds - it is however amazing how hard is to actually get such tokens, most of the known producers do not offer them. We have finally found one manufacturer that offers (not only on the web page and product catalog, but also has the product) customer programmable OTP tokens - it took us 4 months to get there.

Re: FUZZY ABOUT SPILL VOLUMES
IMO, dfHSM pooling of tapes is a *BAD* idea(ADDVOL) . If you really need to segregate dfHSM tapes from the other tapes, use your tape management system to provide the appropriate scratch pool support. Check the values for SETSYS TAPEDELETION and SETSYS SELECTVOLUME. There will be several other SETSYS commands needed to complete the migration to tape manager scratch pooling. I don't know if you can get the recycle report to show only backup volumes, however, spill volume can also be recycled, so I would not exclude them. HTH, snip I am fuzzy about SPILL volumes. I checked the PRIMER doc and it is very not clear about what SPILL actually does, it says something to the effect that HSM moves older backup versions to other volumes or SPILL volumes. If I understand it correctly, HSM moves the DAY backup to SPILL and this is done via RECYCLE. My question is 2 fold. If I am running low on SPILL tapes should I need to add tapes to the SPILL Backup or to DAILY BACKUP i.e ADDVOL BKP002 UNIT(3590-1) BACKUP(SPILL) THRESHOLD(85) or ADDVOL BKP006 UNIT(3590-1) BACKUP(DAILY(1)) Also, I ran a report to check what BACKUP tapes are eligible for recycle - HSENDCMD RECYCLE DISPLAY BACKUP I noticed in the report it has both the BACKUP and SPILL VOLS. Is there a way of just getting the BACKUP volsers? I executed the report again for SPILL - HSENDCMD RECYCLE DISPLAY SPILL and the report only listed the SPIL vols. /snip -- 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: MEMDSENQMGMT / S99DASUP
MEMDSENQMGMT and S99DASUP are independent, as you say. S99DASUP allows an authorized caller to suppress some of the accounting overhead associated with Allocation. It is intended for use with VSAM data sets, since VSAM records more information in its SMF records than Allocation and SMF, which makes the overhead of us maintaining the information pointless. MEMDSENQMGMT is associated with another feature in Allocation processing. The ALLOCxx parmlib member contains MEMDSENQMGMT keyword to allow an installation the ability to disable the feature, in case of odd interactions with ancient programs. Once enabled, though, a program must use the IEFDDSRV MODIFY FEATURE service to enable the feature for job step/ address space. Two levels of enablement may seem excessive, but with Allocation, we're learning that we can never know what programs have done to and with our data areas and allowing a programmer to choose to enable a feature may have effects that the installation needs to control.

Put a copy of REVPROF in any of the data sets attached to ISPTLIB. When a new user goes into REVIEW for the first time, ISPF sees they don't have a member called REVPROF in their ISPPROF data set, and so it searches for REVPROF in the ISPTLIB data sets.

COBOL calling C functions, run program under ispf and z/OS UNIX
Over on the mvs-oe list there was a thread about how to run a program under the z/OS UNIX shell. I was never quite clear what the OP was trying to accomplish so I finally just posted a COBOL program and how to run it. I was kinda' proud of the code because I think you'll find most COBOL programmers today pretty unfamiliar with a lot of points, so I wanted to post the code here in the hopes you will pass this on to your COBOL programmers - if you know any in your shop, just to show what's possible. Here's the post: Stephen, Well, I'm still not clear what you are after, but I thought it might be helpful in general to post a sample of running a program under the z/OS UNIX shell. First, I wrote a basic COBOL program, simply under ISPF 3.4, as a member in a PDS, then compiled and bound it into a load module library PDSE). The source code, member name APP2CO3, prompts the user for a file name (MVS file or HFS/zFS file), opens the file and reads and displays the first two lines from the file; not trivial but not earth shaking. Here's the code: process dynam xref(short) Identification division. Program-id. app2co3. * Copyright (c) 2004 by Steven H.

Just put the largest percentage to your production system and let it go from there. Then both will get as much as they can when the box is not 100% and when 100%, your production will be protected. The initially capping is a hardcap as you stated which means that it will NOT go above the 80% (based on these being the only two LPARs) but also have a defined capacity of 10.

The reason I'd like to uncheck 'Initial Capping' is to allow the LPARs to go beyond their 'Initial Weight' if the other LPARs are not busy. We got the impression from SHARE that 'Initial Capping' had to be checked to allow the LPAR to use the 'free' MSUs beyond the Defined Capacity.

thanks Rob, I familiar with stoping the RRS . we have a weekly process which shutdown the DB2 subsystem for the DFDSS DASD backup. there is no work done on the DB2 so it's not consider as a down time for us. beside this weekly backup we are also face (from time to time) reasons which force us to start the DB2 . there are more then 3 DB2 subsystem - and this the reason the ASVT are running out.

Re: Initial Capping
The initial capping is what sets a hardcap which will prevent the LPAR from going beyound that weight. The weight is calculated based on your active LPARs settings...not always 100% For example, if you have one LPAR weighted at 10 and the other at 1, then for the LPAR with 10 it would be 90.9% (10 / 11). If you have 90 and 10 then it would be 90% and so on. The Defined Capacity (softcap)is what WLM uses to enforce the 4 hour rolling average. This will allow the LPAR to go beyound its defined capacity, but only when the 4 hour average will still balance to what you have defined. For example, if you have a machine with 20 MSUs and you give the LPAR a defined capacity of 10, then it will only be able to use 50% of the box on the 4 hour average. If you are doing this just for software cost, the 4 hour average (softcap) is better than a hardcap. Just from your information below, I would set your production LPAR at a MSU rating that is 80% of your box and not do the hardcap unless 80% is really all you want. If you want it to be able to use more than that at a continued rate, you will need to increase that value, which can be done dynamically.

Just put the largest percentage to your production system and let it go from there. Then both will get as much as they can when the box is not 100% and when 100%, your production will be protected.

Re: fopen and CICS
Hi John, Any Program in CICS defined as Threadsafe will run on the OPEN TCBs (L8/L9 TCB). If the program makes a DB2 Call then it will run on the L8 TCB as the CICS/DB2 Exit is defined as CICSKey. If the Program makes a File Control call then it will run on the L9 TCB. The switching of TCBs L8/L9 to QR is as you say dependent on the program issuing a Non-Threadsafe call such as a Transient Data WriteQ command. Be careful as a DISPLAY statement issued out of COBOL will cause a switch from the Open TCB to the QR TCB, as this has a EXEC CICS WRITEQ TD command inside it, writing the message to CEEMSG. How it gets back to the Open TCB (L8/L9) from the QR, is dependent on how the program is defined. If it is defined as OPENAPI = YES, then CICS will switch back to the L9 TCB before resuming execution of the program. If the Program has OPENAPI = NO, then CICS will keep the Program on the QR TCB until a command is issued that forces it to the OPENAPI. OPENAPI = YES has another significant thing, in that any Program defined this way will begin on the L9 TCB. The problem arises in that if the program issues an EXEC CICS RECEIVE it will switch to the QR TCB to execute this. If the first command encountered is a DB2 Call, then CICS will switch this program to the L8 TCB. So unnecessary switching will take place. It is also worth recognizing that some LE functions cause a switch from the Open TCB to the QR TCB Colin Pearce -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of McKown, John Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 8:20 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: fopen and CICS Very true about the automatic switch to the QR TCB for a non-threadsafe CICS function. I guess I should have said that doing that switch is relatively expensive and so really needs to be avoided as much as possible. And I cannot remember exactly when the code switches back to the L8/L9 TCB from the QR TCB. You really don't want to do any nasty UNIX code on the QR TCB as it can greatly impact CICS responsiveness.

Neither am I, but I did a few experiments a couple of years ago. Another possibility, but more difficult to implement, is to continue to use your UNIX code. This can be done in CICS, but only in what is called an Open Transaction Environment (OTE) or OPENAPI. This environment runs the code on a separate TCB from the normal quasi-reentrant TCB (QR) that most CICS programmers are used to. This requires the program to be written to be threadsafe, which restricts which EXEC CICS functions can be used. I do believe this is not true. One can use any EXEC CICS command, threadsafe or not, in a threadsafe program. CICS will switch back to the QR TCB when it needs to execute a non-threadsafe command. And requires more careful coding of the program. Now, this is true. One has indeed to write threadsafe code. Just declaring a module threadsafe in the PCT will definitely not make it so... This being said, one can use the fopen, fread and fwrite functions in a CICS program. And one can do so on regular MVS datasets as well as on files in the hierarchical file system. There is however an issue when it comes to serialization... Indeed, any access to a given file by any given task may and will interfere with any access from any other task that wants to access the same file. And it is up to the developer to include the proper serialization within the application program. Now, if today you are using this technique in an MPP, then the serialization issue may already (partly) have been solved. Indeed, an MPP will also serve multiple transaction for different users, although, if my memory serves me right, it does this in a different way

Re: COBOL calling C functions, run program under ispf and z/OS UNIX
Interesting code. I don't know that I like using C functions to OPEN and READ the file in COBOL. It seems to bypass some of the normal COBOL functionality that COBOL programmers would want. I'd likely use environment variable facility in the ASSIGN clause as documented: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IGY3LR50/4.2.3.1 You could prompt the programmer for the dataset/file name the same way. I don't know if that is easier than just doing a CALL of BPX1RED. Use LE's CEEENV routine to set the environment variable (which is equivalent to what we think of as the DD name): http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/CEEA31B0/2.2.5.34 == I don't know exactly what the OP wanted either. But the question did raise one in my mind. Suppose that I have a batch program. In TSO, I can run the program by doing some ALLOCATE commands to allocate my files and then invoke my program using the CALL command. Without changing the program in any way (do to dynamic allocation or anything else), how can I run this same program from a UNIX shell prompt? For a pure COBOL program, I think the above can be done by replacing the ALLOCATE commands with export commands to define the environment variables (DD names) with the proper dataset names. If you need something like SYSIN or SYSPRINT to point to the UNIX shell input / output, I think you could do: export SYSIN='/dev/fd/0' export SYSPRINT='/dev/fd/1' The do your method with the chmod 1755 to a filename in the current directory which is the same as the program name in the PDS and export the name of the PDS in STEPLIB.

IBM (Canada) used to promise that CPU usage would not go up (and, maybe would go down) if you did not exploit any new function when you upgraded products. But, lately, I've found no such promise and no figures from IBM on anything to do with resource consumption for z/OS upgrades.

DD DUMMY allocate any BUFFERS?
Hi I cannot find this information on IBM Does DD DUMMY cause any QSAM BUFFERS to be allocated for QSAM files? ie. The default value of 5? I'm trying to find out why we getting a S878 on a job with REGION=0M on the jobcard. There is several other possible reasons but I want to eliminate or include this one also.
