Re: ADRDSSU issue
The error with the IODF (ADR468E) looks like it was caused by the lack of PROCESS(SYS1) parameter. On the other hand, the parameter for copying VSAM properly is SPHERE. I copied your last try and it worked ok for me. Maybe the last //* is not at the column 1?. I would delete it and try again I usually copy VSAM and nonVSAM at the same time with SPHERE with no problem.

Re: mainframe fresher
Hi Steve, You are right, many think that mainframes are already gone. While at SHARE in Anaheim, I was on the elevator, with a young couple. The man saw my SHARE badge, remarked that he had seen lots of them and asked what SHARE is. I explained. Turns out he is an IT professional on the distributed side. He remembered seeing that IBM commercial a few years back, the one where all of the servers have been stolen, but he thought that IBM had switched over to only making servers now. I told him a bit about the z196. When I told him that I had not needed to reboot my z800 server in over a year and the the last unplanned outage was caused by a whole building power outage a couple of years ago, he was amazed. Then he questioned security. We have a service that does penetration testing on a regular basis. When it was first brought in, all groups were given 3 weeks to harden their systems. We did no prep - the only group not to. The mainframe was the only system that wasn't penetrated. I gave him my card, told him a bit about zNextGen, and said that he might consider a day pass for SHARE and check it out. I don't know if he did or not. The fact is, in my shop, the distributed server folks deal with problems not heard of on the mainframe. When was the last time somebody had to rebuild and reintall z/OS because the system crashed and corrupted the OS files?

Re: REXX INCLUDE ?
Many moons ago when I was a sysprog, I wrote a couple of REXX external functions in assembler called STEMPUSH and STEMPULL that allow you to pass REXX stems between execs in the same address space. It does this by placing the REXX variable name and value into a dataspace stack and then you pass the dataspace token as a parameter between the execs (STEMPUSH places items on the stack and STEMPULL retrieves them). As far as I know the code still works and you can find it on the CBT tape website (www.cbttape.org).

Re: Cool Things You Can Do in z/OS
One thing I found a few years ago that it appears is not very well known is the hilite function in ISPF Editor. You can have editor hilite JCL, REXX, Assembler, C, Cobol, HTML, and other things. I find it helpful in spotting JCL errors and REXX syntax errors before I submit/execute the job. Not to mention it does break up the monotony of the normal editor display. But you do have to be on a TN3270 emulator that supports TSO extended attributes, and the LU defined to your session must also support extended attributes.

Re: ADRDSSU issue
I am trying to copy my SYSRES volume( ex: IPE100) into one new volume ( ex IPE101). All the dataset inside IPE100 is managed by indirect cataloging. As per my knowledge, only non SMS managed dataset used to be on RES volume. Then I am not sure, why I am getting above error. Also the RES volume is non SMS managed. Can anybody help me to resolve this issue. Regards Saurabh I have been following this thread. I see you are at z/OS V1.9. VSAM datasets If I remember are always SMS Managed and it is not until z/OS V1.12 that you can use indirect VSAM cataloging. I am not sure you can copy the same name VSAM dataset. You may need to copy to a new VSAM dataset name So, has this process you are using worked in the past and suddenly stopped working? When was the last successfully run? What version of z/OS was it under? Is the name you are copying already cataloged? If so, I am not sure you can use DFDSS to do this. You may need a second step to copy your IODF (or other ) VSAM datasets separately. I have had situations in the past where I had to copy everything but the VSAM files with DFDSS and then used another process to copy the VSAM files. Do you still have the last successful run output? Can you compare the listings (current and old one) and see what is different or the same? Are you creating a new system volume?

Of course in real word the weakest link of chain is the most important. BTW: 3174 can be channel-attached, and I guess that ESCON is not a bottleneck for coax, even 32 of them. re: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011e.html#94 coax (3174) throughput I never measured 3174 ... the 3274 had the opposite problem ... not only did moving lot of electronics out of the head back to shared control unit ... enormously increase coax cable chatter and slow down thruput (i.e. both the amount of chatter on the coax as well as latency for all the back and forth to support really dumbed down 3278) ... but the slow electronics in the 3274 had significant hit on (bustag) channel busy (transfer rate 640kbytes on the channel side ... but really slow handsaking made raw transfer rate only small part of the channel busy ... analogous to all the really slow handshaking on the coax side enormously slowing down effective response time and transfer rate). I had done a project for the IMS group when STL was bursting at the seams and 300 were being put at remote site ... with datacenter support back to STL. They had tested remote 3278 support back to STL and found it truely horrible and totally unacceptable ... local channel attach 3278 were bad enough having hard time making subsecond response http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001m.html#19 3270 protocol but for remote 3278, it wasn't even remotely possile :-) The side effect of doing support for channel-extender ... allowing channel attached 3274s controllers to put at the remote location (and providing 3278 response at remote location, that was indistinquishable from local channel attach), the channel-extender boxes had significantly faster channel interface processing ... getting the 3274s off the real channels improved local processor thruput by 10-15%. When 3278s originally came out ... we complained loudly to the product group about 3278 interactive performance vis-a-vis 3277. Eventually the product group came back with the reply that 3278s weren't designed for interactive computing but for data entry (aka basically online upgrade for card punch machines). The controller channel busy overhead (independent of raw transfer rate) was to raise its head again with 3090 and 3880 disk controllers (3mbyte transfer rate). The 3880 channel busy overhead turned out to be so high, 3090 product realized that it had to add a whole bunch additional channels ... which resulted in having to add an extra TCM to 3090 manufacturing (there were jokes that the 3090 group was going to bill the 3880 product group for the cost of the increased 3090 manufacturing cost). This was sort of the leading edge of theme that mainframes with enormous number of channels being a good thing (when it was actually to compensate for the channel/controller interface design and slow controllers would drastically reduce channel effectiveness). a couple recent posts: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011.html#37 CKD DASD http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011e.html#15 At least two decades back, some gurus predicted that mainframes would disappear in future and it still has not happened -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 -- 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

In my APPLY jobs those are always GIM23913W (LINK-EDIT PROCESSING FOR SYSMOD UA55316 WAS SUCCESSFUL FOR MODULE ISTAPCTQ IN LMOD ISTAPVL1 IN THE SISTCLIB LIBRARY. THE RETURN CODE WAS 04).

RESMIL in a MONOPLEX
Does the RESMIL parameter have any effect in a MONOPLEX system.

I just realised that I don't know what is the speed of coax connection - so I asked. It does NOT depend on application, it's not dependent on resonse time, there are not real data to be sent. What is the speed of Token Ring? Simple answer is 4Mbps (16 or even 100 in newer versions). Does it depend on amount of data sent, application, response time? No. Similar question can be asked about ESCON, FICON, Ethernet, RS232 in my PC, etc. And coax connection.

Re: No LUs available
Jags I see for the second time in a few days, I will have to advise you to get in close touch with the folk responsible for your z/OS Communications Server (CS) environment, again, as with Enterprise Extender, both the IP and SNA (VTAM) side. Thanks to John McKown, we have some definitions presented which I can use further to explain what is happening so you can pass the information on to the folk I just mentioned. It would appear that Ted McNeil has also made the very reasonable judgement given the evidence that you are *not* one of those folk, this being a very basic matter relating to access to TSO based on the TN3270 server TN3270E program. You probably have more people coming in via TN3270 than it has available 3270 virtual terminals defined. Don't go looking for 3270 virtual terminals, this is a way of expressing the definition requirements in terms of the RFC - or if it isn't, it could be! What is actually required is two sets of real definitions which are present in what John has posted, which provide names for resources used as the 3270 virtual terminals, namely, - the DEFAULTLUS/ENDDEFAULTLUS statement block within the BEGINVTAM/ENDVTAM statement block in the TN3270E PROFILE data set - the APPL statements following a VBUILD TYPE=APPL statement in a VTAMLST member - also known as a major node These statements cause the allocation of control blocks within, respectively, the TN3270E program and VTAM in order to allow the TN3270E program to accept a TN3270 TCP connection from a TN3270 client and concatenate the associated 3270 data stream exchange with an SNA session using the VTAM API. In terms of the SNA protocol, these are logical unit (LU) names. In the case of the DEFAULTLUS/ENDDEFAULTLUS statement block, this is only one way of providing the SNA LU names of the 3270 virtual terminals but is the most likely for relatively simple sets of definitions. I guess we can make the judgement that you have the most simple configuration since you would otherwise need to understand the configuration rather better and you wouldn't be posting your query. It is also an option which is normally used, in order to reduce the tedium of keying each and every LU name within the DEFAULTLUS/ENDDEFAULTLUS statement block, that the names are expressed as a range and a template - what John calls generically - as in John's example. This reduced form of definition can also be matched in the VTAM APPL statements by being able to use, in its simplest form, a single model APPL statement, again as in John's example. As John indicated, these definitions imply an absolute limit to the number of TN3270 TCP connections which can be supported at any one time since each of them needs to be assigned to, in effect, a pair of definitions, one as defined in the TN3270E program PROFILE data set and one as defined in a VTAM member of VTAMLST. Once all of these are used up in operation, no further TN3270 connections can be established. Once one of the connections - and the associated SNA session (an important qualification) - is disconnected, another connection and associated session can be established. Makes complete sense, doesn't it? - Perhaps John's example needs a little more focus on the important parameters and an explanation on how they work, particularly as there are some peculiarities! The DEFAULTLUS/ENDDEFAULTLUS block is the following: DEFAULTLUS DCCVDTAA..DCCVDTAZ..FFAA ENDDEFAULTLUS The range specified is DCCVDTAA to DCCVDTAZ so that the names are DCCVDTA as a prefix with the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet as used in the English language and by EBCDIC codes. The template, FFAA, is not really all that relevant in this case since there are no choices and in fact, the template used could just as easily - the peculiarity - have been FFFA since the 7th character of the name doesn't change. Thus the change of A to F. The final A merely says that the increment within the range must be an alphabetic character, but between A and Z there are no options to be otherwise! The relevant section discussing this whole topic is Rules for LU name specification in Chapter 16, TN3270E Telnet server, in the z/OS CS Configuration Reference manual. When a TN3270 TCP connection is made and the nature of the definitions determine that the TN3270E program must find an LU name in the DEFAULTLUS/ENDDEFAULTLUS block, a name not currently in use is chosen. This becomes the name which the TN3270E program will use in the VTAM API calls used to establish an SNA session as a secondary LU - pretending to be what is/has been traditionally a device-type LU associated with a 3270 display device connected through, say, a 3174 control unit. That LU name can either be the name of an LU statement - in which case there would be 26 of them, just as tedious to key up as individual names within the DEFAULTLUS/ENDDEFAULTLUS block - or it can be matched by a model APPL
Re: No LUs available
Jags You had better show us your definitions. If you haven't been using the compressed form shown in John McKown's examples and as I explained, just give us some assurance that you have sufficient TN3270E program PROFILE data set statements defined and VTAM APPL statements defined.

Re: No LUs available
Sayrabh Khandewal I appreciate you are trying to help but the following corrections are needed: TSO major node in your VTAMLST There is no such thing as a TSO major node. What you may very well have in mind is a VBUILD TYPE=APPL major node in which are contained the APPL statements (minor nodes) which are for use by the TSO application. It is *not* required that a major node contains *only* the APPL statements for one particular application. Or if you can paste it here, we will be able to get some more detail on that. What I had planned to comment here was the following: planned As indicated elsewhere, there is an example of how this should be set up for the benefit of the Jags colleagues, the z/OS Communications Server system programmers, so I don't believe it will really be necessary for him to post what is in any case only part of what we would need to see in order to spoon- feed a complete solution. /planned However I noticed that Jags is protesting that he/she has definitions equivalent to 500 LUs so, finally, we are obliged to be sure that he/she has a full set of definitions - not just APPL statements from a VTAMLST member.

Re: No LUs available
Jags John McKown assumed you were using z/OS Communications Server TN3270E program as your TN3270 server - and I went right along with that. However you may be using the OSA-ICC as your TN3270 server. Perhaps you could let us all know(?). Also, I went right along with John's assumption there may be a limit in the definitions on the secondary side of the SNA sessions but Saurabh Khandelwal may have a point that it's not the telnet element that's at fault but the TSO *primary* APPLs that are insufficient.

Re: No LUs available
You're right! In never occurred to me that the TSO USERMAX might be set higher than the number of TSO LUs defined to VTAM. Also, thanks for the explanation on my initial reply. I knew what I needed to do to get something that worked, or at least was fairly sure. But I'm not the best in really deep understanding and explaining. I do know that some of the strangeness of the 3270 LU definitions is due to copying from the past when we used physical DFT mode 3278 terminals for some multisession capability, but mainly TPX for most of the multisession capability to logon to TSO and multiple CICS regions from a single physical 3278 terminal. We have eliminated TPX and now use multiple TN3270 sessions per user. Curiously, the ex-TPX users really hate this. But then I never liked using TPX. Each to his own. I like having multiple TN3270 sessions visible at the same time, which is impossible with TPX. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.

You also have service providers like Google, the global DNS servers, etc. The list can be easily extended to demonstrate extremely good RAS overall on a distributed system where high RAS is deemed important. On this forum distributed is usually a synonym for Windows on Intel. Server class Intel hardware is fairly good. Linux is fairly good. IMO, Windows is not as good as Linux, although in server mode as opposed to desktop mode, it is not as bad as it used to be. Where Windows fares poorly is when you run non-MS software on it. Windows doesn't protect itself as well as z/OS or Linux or UNIX. It is simply too easy to lie to Windows, have it do something stupid, then roll over and die. Example: one process can send a message to another process. The second process has no way of telling who actually sent the message. It's like a bank cashing a hand written check with no signature. I don't know what hardware the phone switches run on. But, from what I've been told, the software is usually written in Erlang. I have been reading up and trying to learn about Erlang (and Haskell). It is a functional programming language. It is far, far more difficult to write code in a functional programming language which does things like buffer overflow or gets bad data. Erlang, likeunto Java, runs in a virtual instruction environment. I.e. it doesn't run on the bare hardware, but an instruction interpreter. And variables don't vary! Variables are actually symbolic names which are WORM. Once assigned a value, you can't change it! So a routine __cannot__ have any side effects on global variables, as is done in C or even COBOL. It is a very interesting language. And is designed for parallel processing, so it very efficient in its multitasking and so is very good for a multi-core architecture.

Re: Accessing MF Data From Distributed Systems
Depends on the device. Our ATL is connected via SCSI to a Wintel server as well as via Ficon to our z. The individual drives within the ATL are actually SCSI (3590) and a drive is either assigned to the Wintel controller or the Ficon attached controller. But they are the same drives. Switching does require a CE. Now, even if you can physically read the data on the tapes, can you process it? That's a different question entirely. If it is sequential data written by a COBOL program, and you have the COBOL copybook describing it, then maybe. But much of our data is written using vendor utilities such as IDCAMS EXPORT or CA-ISM FAVER. Reading that would be a trip. Or a DFDSS backup dump.

But, from what I've been told, the software is usually written in Erlang. If we're talking about traditional circuit-switching digital switches, i.e. those that ran the North American public system from around the time of the ATT breakup to the time when VOIP quite suddenly became the backbone of the phone system, then really the hardware is dedicated to circuit-switching tasks, and a general purpose CPU (with failover) treats the switching fabric as I/O devices to be directed. The CPU can be rebooted without affecting calls in progress. Of the two big vendors in North America, ATT wrote most of their code in C, while Nortel used their own proprietary language called Protel. I don't know what the European vendors did. The current phone system is a lot harder to differentiate from the Internet we all know, since it's really a matter of packet switching of arbitrary data, some of which happens to represent phone calls. And the endpoints are much more variable than the traditional analogue desk telephone. But as with the Cisco or 3Com or Juniper router in your datacentre, or the bigger one at the ISP, there is specialized hardware directed by general purpose CPUs, and the hardware generally stays up despite program failure on the CPUs. You can even see this in a small way on the typical little home cable or DSL router; it's not uncommon for the program to crash, thus losing the firewall and NAT functions, but the switch portion of the box will happily keep switching those packets. We digress, and it's not yet Friday.

Billing inaccuracies has little to do with platform stability and everything to do with application design. Do to the complexity of the billing systems, far more than 0.0001 percent of the billings are incorrect to some degree. There is an entire industry (example: http://www.ameritelinc.com/phone-bill-analysis) whose sole purpose is to find inaccuracies and recoup costs. My main point is that application design and implementation can overcome the inherent unreliabilities of hardware and other software components. zSeries hardware proves the point. It has redundant internal components and instruction retry which are engaged transparently to the application and (I think) to the operating system. IBM has invested billions to make this work correctly. z/OS has many dynamic recovery features (sysplex, etc.) built in that allow applications platforms (CICS, IMS, DB2, etc.) to survive failures. -- 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: RESMIL in a MONOPLEX
I thought we'd been through this before, but can't find it. Strictly speaking, this is a one system ring, and therefor you could expect some setup costs. ISTR Mr Fagen advancing the knowledge that in such a setup GRS has the smarts to ignore all the RSA management. But I can't find any evidence in the archives. So it probably doesn't matter what you set it to, although I've always preferred zero. As for the ENQ issues, maybe have a look at the ADRUENQ usermod. Dallas were always pretty accommodating when I needed to ask for something. Shane ...

Re: Accessing MF Data From Distributed Systems
Hal I have to agree. The data written to the ATL on FICON channels will be CKD structure which is encapsulated into SCSI FBA at some point between the FICON interface and disk buffer. It's all SCSI after that. To read the data on the mainframe tapes from Fibre Channel the ATL vendor would likely have to provide an API that understands the proprietary encapsulation process in order to read the SCSI blocks, strip of the wrappers and reassemble the CKD blocks. Once the block is assembled it would have to be passed to another procedure to process the block based on its format (FB, VB, VBS. Etc), and convert each field to ASCII and appropriate numeric formats. The short answer is I think they are screwed unless they export the tapes to another compatible ATL and read them with FICON.

Re: How to start RMF Monitor III automatically after IPL the system.
From context, I suppose SA means System Automation. You can use PARMLIB's MPFLST to call a program on receipt of the RMF initialization complete message (ERB100I); the program calls SVC34 to issue the S RMFGAT command (or whatever). The program can be generalized for other system automation since the message it triggers on is available to the program. In a previous barebones (z/OS 1.8. 1.9) site I used the venerable OTTO from file 332 of the CBT tape quite successfully. File 623 might be more functional, but I can't personally vouch for that one.

I knew what I needed to do to get something that worked, or at least was fairly sure. But I'm not the best in really deep understanding and explaining. I do know that some of the strangeness of the 3270 LU definitions is due to copying from the past when we used physical DFT mode 3278 terminals for some multisession capability, but mainly TPX for most of the multisession capability to logon to TSO and multiple CICS regions from a single physical 3278 terminal. We have eliminated TPX and now use multiple TN3270 sessions per user. Curiously, the ex-TPX users really hate this. But then I never liked using TPX. Each to his own.
