Re: Summer Time, state of art
No, stick with normal time! But yes, skip the changes. Nowdays you get home at the hottest part of the day and you use more energy to cool down the house than if you got home later. And last week it was just getting light when I went to work, but now it's back to driving in the dark. I'll probably have to use lights in the morning all year long! This is why Arizona stays on ST year round. I thought they are on normal time all year round! I know I was very confused when in the Glen Canyon Dam Visitor Center that showed times in Utah and Arizona as one hour apart. Utah did have DST, Arizona did not, except in the (Arizona) places belonging to the Navajo Reservation, which is mostly in Utah, on DST. In any case, the one (IBM) application that could not handle the fallback was OPC (now Tivoli something) up to the point where OPC got terminated in this installation a while back.

Re: zIIPs and zAAPs
The biggest obstacle for privileged programs is that SRB mode is more restrictive than task mode. Not all services are allowed in SRB mode; many functions require a TCB. Error recovery for an SRB is nowhere near as flexible as for TCB. Also, debugging is not as easy for SRB as for TCB. I can't really count the times when I had to explain srb-to-task-percolation to some vendor scheduling srbs and not being able to debug, much less fix their 0C4s! There is not even a control block equivalent of the TCB where the operating system keeps information about an SRB while it's running! I don't understand. Suspended SRBs all have their SSRB, and there's the IHSA. The state of the SRB while it is actually dispatched can be seen in the cpu status and PSA, reliable with regards to storage only in an sadump. Or has that substantially changed while I wasn't looking? In light of these restrictions, I suppose one could argue that more difficult programming means less stable programs. Exactly. And less people knowing how to figure out what went wrong or even to imagine what might go wrong! Just look at all the discussions here on ibmmain about this exact topic.

Re: How to find out DFHSM intentions ?
Hi,
I don't think there is an out dataset option for QUERY. In
SYS1.SAMPLIB(ARCTOOLS) there is a queryset REXX which returns the output
to TSO via extended console processing.
We basically use a version of QUERYSET to get HSM output back to TSO,
and then we have other routines that issue any TSO command to trap the
output back to a browse or edit window (from where we can create a
dataset of course). But you could also just update QUERYSET to write to
a dataset.

Re: Status Difference Between JES2 and SDSF
It can be what you saying and I see some improvement is happening with z/OS 1.12.. share remarks (boston) --- z/OS 1.12 JES2 added support to place the SPOOL and Checkpoint data sets in EAS storage (above the 64K cylinder line). It also added a new SSI to retrieve printer status information. There were also a number of serviceability(RAS) changes that will be discussed. New in this release is an SSI (83 with SSOB extension IAZSSJD) to obtain information on local and remote printers. This information is available on z/OS 1.12 from any z/OS 1.11 MAS member and later. Only local and remote printer are currently supported via the SSI (though the IAZSSJVD data area does define additional devices). The information is provided via a data gather code that was shipped in z/OS 1.11. To fully support requests from z/OS 1.12, you must apply the data gatherer APARs OA31703 and OA32712 on your z/OS 1.11 system. These APARs are a pre-req for the JES2 toleration APAR OA28532. The initiator subfunction of the JES property SSI was enhanced to support requesting information from other members. This requires the target member to be running z/OS 1.12. SYSOUT ENF processing was enhanced to support requesting ENFs for data sets select by SAPI. This is useful if a SAPI application is requesting SYSOUT information and returning it for later processing but still wants to track the status of the data set. -- 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: zHPF and mixed channels
John, Thank you for the explanation. In fact my both questions can be rephrased to the following: Is given chpid or CU port able to work in HPF and non-HPF mode simultaneously? Your expectations (and mine too) are that yes. Regards -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland W dniu 2011-03-30 06:36, John Ticic pisze: Radoslaw, my understanding is that zHPF is negotiated between z/OS and the DSS CU if all the channels in the path group are FEx2 or FEx4. So, if this is the case, then I/O between that z/OS LPAR and that CU can use zHPF. So, my take on Q1 is that the host that has FEx2/FEx4 will be able to use zHPF and the other host will not be able to. In Q2, the Host can negotiate a zHPF connection to one DASD and not to the other. These are only my expectations and I would be interested in your findings - especially if they are different. SMF 73 (RMF Channel stats) will give you some nice information on how many I/Os are using transport mode. SMF 74.5 (Rank statistics) will give you detailed zHPF information per device (starting with z/OS 1.12) (probably Vendor DSS specific). John Quotation from some IBM TechDoc: zHPF is supported on FICON Express2 (FEx2) and FICON Express4 (FEx4) channels. It is not supported on FICON Express channels. I/Os executed on path groups with a mix of FICON Express and FICON Express2 or FICON Express4 channels in the same path group will not be eligible to convert to zHPF. For zHPF, all the channels in the same channel path group have to be FEx2 or FEx4. The above is clear in scenario with one host and one CU. What about many-to-many scenarios? Q1: The following scenario: two host connected to single CU, via switch. Same channel adapter in CU. One host is zHPF capable, the other is not (FICON Express 1). Will zHPF work between CU and first host? Q2: Another scenario: zHPF-capable host connected via switch to two different DASD boxes. First DASD is zHPF-capable, the second is not. Both DASDs are connected to the same CHPIDs. Will zHPF be used for communication between host and first CU? Any clue?

Re: VOLCAT and DR
Are you using an IBM VTS or a VTL. We are using a VTL and with this it is setup as a manual tape library and you don't need the VOLCAT when restoring from the starter system. You just use your tape name and the volume and it will find it like a real tape. The VTS is more complicated and when we had that we used real tape to recover and then setup the VTS with our own blank tapes put into it for new write only. We never brought the real tapes from the VTS and set it up.

Re: zHPF and mixed channels
In order for zHPF to work, there are a series of conditions that must ALL be true. The conditions include support on the host side (channel support as well as z/OS) and support on the CU (at the Extended Link Services level as well as the device [Read Features Code] level). If *any* one of these conditions is not true, zHPF will not be used. These conditions have to be true for ALL paths in the path group to a given device. Thus: Q1: The following scenario: two host connected to single CU, via switch. Same channel adapter in CU. One host is zHPF capable, the other is not (FICON Express 1). Will zHPF work between CU and first host? Yes. The switch doesn't play into the equation. If the first host (channel and z/OS) and the CU both support zHPF, the device is enabled for zHPF. Q2: Another scenario: zHPF-capable host connected via switch to two different DASD boxes. First DASD is zHPF-capable, the second is not. Both DASDs are connected to the same CHPIDs. Will zHPF be used for communication between host and first CU? Yes. Again because the host and CU are both zHPF capable, zHPF can be used. The two boxes are viewed independently or zHPF purposes. Note: There only certain types of I/O operations are zHPF capable. The feature will only be used if a zHPF capable driver (e.g. Media Manager) is being used. Thus, even with zHPF enabled, you may not see a lot of zHPF I/O. Hope this helps. -Original Message- From: R.S.

Re: Why does SORT forbid E15+E35 in COBOL for OPTION COPY?
SORT provides a rich control card language for record selection and rejection and other data processing operations that I don't have to program. Having the capabilities of that language between the E15 and E35 exits allows me to take advantage of those rich capabilities without having to program them myself. As it stands, I have to perform a useless SORT operation in order to use both exits, and be careful in specifying the SORT key that I don't disturb the original order of the records in so doing. BTW, MODS-type E15 and E35 exits for a JCL-invoked SORT do NOT need to do their own I/O. SORT passes the records it reads from SORTIN to the E15 exit to manipulate and the sorted or merged records to the E35 exit to manipulate. This lets me take advantage of SORT's superior (i.e., faster) I/O facilities. Both exits use the REPLACE record function to return the manipulated records to SORT. In my particular case the exits allow me to decode RECFM=VB records stored on disk in an application-specific scheme on the way in through the E15 exit, yielding a fixed-length record easily processed with SORT capabilities, and to re-code processed records using that application-specific scheme on the way out in the E35 exit. No COBOL I/O involved.

A backup copy is a pre-requisite if and ONLY IF a data set belongs to a MGMTCLAS that requires auto backup. If the MGMTCLAS does not require auto-backup, it will happily migrate to ML2 with no backup in existence. If you are in an environment with many, independent, potentially naive users who never think of backing up anything, it might make sense to have most datasets with a MGMTCLAS that requires HSM auto-backup. If you are in a complex business environment with many interrelated application areas and complicated relationships among many datasets, and applications that run throughout the 24-hour day, an HSM asynchronous auto-backup at an unpredicable point in the application cycles is almost worthless. We have always fit more into the latter, and only have HSM autobackup on a small percentage of datasets, mostly application development libraries and some TSO user data sets, which generally would not be in-flight during the several night hours HSM might be doing auto-backup. -- Joel C.

TSOLIB, BLDL RDJFCB
Hi, I need my C program to start another program that is in the same load library. To discover the name of this load library, I use BLDL to get a concatenation number in STEPLIB or JOBLIB, and RDJFCB with DDname STEPLIB or JOBLIB to get the name from these lists. This works fine in batch. Now I would like to do the same under TSO. I thought I could use the TSO command TSOLIB to set STEPLIB, but no, BLDL returns error 4, so apparently STEPLIB was not set correctly. LISTALC shows a new DDname called SYS00070, though... I also tried the STEPLIB command under TSO. This time BLDL does succeed, returning '2' as the source, which means STEPLIB or JOBLIB. But now RDJFCB fails... it looks like a DDname other than STEPLIB is being used as STEPLIB: the LISTALC command shows a new DDname $TEP0001. Does anyone know if the DCB and/or the DDname of this SYS00070 (in the case of TSOLIB) or $TEP0001 (in the case of the STEPLIB command) is available in some control block somewhere, and if so, in which one?

Re: EZBTIINI dynamically loaded ?
Walter The real question is which fine manual did you read? There are very many fine manuals you could have read where you would find nothing about EZBTIINI. You were clever enough to appreciate that an EZB prefix related to the IP component of Communications Server (CS). What did your local CS IP specialist have to say about EZBTIINI?[1] Anyhow, with the understanding that z/OS CS was involved - I used the following approach: In the Search Text box for the Communications Server bookshelf on the following page: z/OS V1R11.0 elements and features bookshelves http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/zshelves11.html to which I assume you know how to navigate, I entered EZBTIINI and got all of 5 fine manual hits! Thus I found out that EZBTIINI is a module related to the initialisation of the IP component of CS as indicated by the following messages: quote EZB6473I TCP/IP STACK FUNCTIONS INITIALIZATION COMPLETE. Explanation: TCP/IP has been successfully initialized. System Action: TCP/IP continues. Operator Response: None. System Programmer Response: None.

Hello Mr. Mark Zelden,
First thanks very much from your help, and i must say, that We have some of
their programs, that is very good for us, like LPROG, IPLINFO and others.
Learned a lot with this programs, very good.
Now about this question, We try do what you said, then , our job is this :

If just want labels, I usually use IEBPTPCH. TAPEMAP and other
similar utilities read the entire tape.
This JCL will also print the EOF1 / EOF2 easily.

NPIV question
I would like to configure NPIV on our z10 BC server. In reading various books, I see a requirement for enabling NPIV on the switch before enabling it on the z10. Right now, I have one chpid configured as a FCP type accessible to our IFL hosting Linux under z/vm. We have not plugged cables into the chpid port yet. My question is: Should the cable be connected to the z10 and the switch prior to either the switch and z10 being configured for NPIV? ? and if not, why does it matter if I enable it first? Asked question on IBMLINK and they re-queued back to me with no response suggesting a hardware call... Anne D.

Having the cable there first isn't necessary. The reason you want to do it on the switch first is that if the HBA (your FICON card) tries to talk NPIV to the switch and the switch says I don't think so, it won't work until after the switch is reconfigured and your FICON card varied completely offline and back on.

Re: Why does SORT forbid E15+E35 in COBOL for OPTION COPY?
From: Farley, Peter x23353 peter.far...@broadridge.com To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Sent: Wed, March 30, 2011 8:05:38 AM Subject: Re: Why does SORT forbid E15+E35 in COBOL for OPTION COPY? SORT provides a rich control card language for record selection and rejection and other data processing operations that I don't have to program. Having the capabilities of that language between the E15 and E35 exits allows me to take advantage of those rich capabilities without having to program them myself. As it stands, I have to perform a useless SORT operation in order to use both exits, and be careful in specifying the SORT key that I don't disturb the original order of the records in so doing. BTW, MODS-type E15 and E35 exits for a JCL-invoked SORT do NOT need to do their own I/O. SORT passes the records it reads from SORTIN to the E15 exit to manipulate and the sorted or merged records to the E35 exit to manipulate. This lets me take advantage of SORT's superior (i.e., faster) I/O facilities. Both exits use the REPLACE record function to return the manipulated records to SORT. In my particular case the exits allow me to decode RECFM=VB records stored on disk in an application-specific scheme on the way in through the E15 exit, yielding a fixed-length record easily processed with SORT capabilities, and to re-code processed records using that application-specific scheme on the way out in the E35 exit. No COBOL I/O involved. Peter Peter: Yes I agree sort does provide a rich control card combination. *WAY* back when we had a programmer come up wih an E61 exit. That exit was (IIRC only supported by IBM DFSORT). I sat down with him one afternoon trying to make sense of it and he actually had a valid case. I no longer remember the specifics but when I talked with SYNCSORT they were surprised to see that we actually used it. Syncsort was actually interested in it. They were sort of hinting they wanted to see source but I had no idea where it was. It wasn't about security it was about the hundreds of places it could have been.

VTAM PLU PARSESS=NO PLU, BUT SLU PARSESS=YES
Is it possible to have such a config? I am getting VTAM sense code 0805000B Session Setup Error in an OMEGAMON VTAM Terminal Pool for APPL defined with PARSESS=YES when the PLU has PARSESS=NO. VTAM tries to start a session with a duplicate SLU APPL and gets the 0805000B. I suspect it is because it thinks there can be more than one session for the SLU APPLs when in fact there cannot. If one partner in an LU-LU session is PARSESS=YES, I would think both partners would need to be or if not at least the PLU would need to be.

Re: VTAM PLU PARSESS=NO PLU, BUT SLU PARSESS=YES
George This looks very clear - including the sense code[1] - dare I say, for once! Perhaps you have misunderstood some aspect of the OMEGAMON documentation regarding the PARSESS operand. The PARSESS=YES operand is used by a program using the VTAM API for the purposes of identifying the partner in certain calls/macros. Programs not capable of parallel sessions necessarily use can use the symbolic name field of the NIB control block (NIBSYM) in order to provide the LU name of the partner. Programs capable of parallel sessions necessarily use the communication identifier (CID) field of the NIB control block (NIBCID) in order specifically to identify the session. I believe the CID is used only within a particular VTAM and is not seen in the session itself and so whether a program using the VTAM API uses the NIBSYM field or the NIBCID field is a matter of interest only to that program and that VTAM. However, very clearly, only when the NIBCID field is used, can there be more than one session at a time with a particular partner LU. If one partner in an LU-LU session is PARSESS=YES, I would think both partners would need to be or if not at least the PLU would need to be. Thus, where there are going to be so-called parallel sessions supported by programs both using the VTAM API, the relevant APPL statements must both specify PARSESS=YES - unless the PARSESS operand defaults to PARSESS=YES as when APPC=YES is also specified. Where there are *not* going to be so-called parallel sessions supported by programs both using the VTAM API, the relevant APPL statement of the program which only ever uses a single session with any partner LU must specify PARSESS=NO because those VTAM API calls/macros for which the PARSESS operand is important always use the NIBSYM field. You can check on this point by examination of the Communications Server SNA Programming manual searching with PARSESS. The documentation of the VTAM program should indicate that PARSESS=YES where it is appropriate because the developers wrote the program to use the VTAM API in a way which requires PARSESS=YES. If the documentation of the VTAM program does not indicate that PARSESS=YES is required, I think - check the manual very carefully - you could cause problems if PARSESS=YES is specified. - [1] quote Sense code 0805 Session limit exceeded: The requested session cannot be activated, as one of the NAUs is at its session limit, for example, the LU-LU session limit or the (LU, mode) session limit. This sense code applies to ACTCDRM, INIT, BIND, and CINIT requests. Bytes 2 and 3 following the sense code contain sense-code-specific information. 000B The request was rejected because a session already exists between the same LU pair, and at least one of the LUs does not support parallel sessions. /quote - Chris Mason On Wed, 30 Mar 2011 18:26:44 -0400, George Henke gahe...@gmail.com wrote: Is it possible to have such a config?
