Not able to login to TSO
Hello, We are facing issue in TCPIP profile of z/OS 1.7. I am not able to login into TSO. There is much difference in coding of z/OS 1.7 and z/OS 1.9 profile.Our rest of the system like z/OS 1.9 , z/OS 1.10 etc tcpip are working fine. I tried research to see, if any error occur in TCPIP profile. But I didnt found anything. My TSO and TCPIP address spaces are running fine. Can you please help me to isolate this issue.

There is an IBM Migrating to z/OS V1.12 handout on the IBM Website that is very good at answering this question. I googled before posting. I saw that but it does not answer my question. I don't like multiline messages. They complicates automated processing. What is really awkward is the fact that the follow-on lines do not have a message id. Makes automated processing even more complicated. (Yes, I do understand how multiline WTOs work. I always code multiple single line WTOs in such cases). -- Peter Hunkeler -- 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: Not able to login to TSO
what error messages are issued when you attempt to logon? any indication of the connection being made when you open your mainframe's IP? need to see all that to have any idea of what happening. --- On Fri, 8/5/11, saurabh khandelwal sourabhkhandelwal...@gmail.com wrote: From: saurabh khandelwal sourabhkhandelwal...@gmail.com Subject: Not able to login to TSO To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Date: Friday, August 5, 2011, 2:27 AM Hello, We are facing issue in TCPIP profile of z/OS 1.7.

Re: Not able to login to TSO
are you able to connect to your TN3270 service (I do not see in D A,L output, but may be you have different STC name? Or are you doing VTAM routing to other MVS -- how is your infrastructure set up?) and just cannot log on to TSO? Then, I would assume, your TCPIP is set up correct and I suggest checking UADS or TSO segment for the user in question.

Re: Group Capacity
snip Within the same Group Capacity can I include a LPAR which is hardcapped (traditional PR/SM) rather than via Defined Capacity ? Manual specifies WLM will dynamically remove such partitions from the group and manage the remaining partitions towards the group limit. What I'm curious is if the utilization of the capped LPAR still counts/aggregate towards the group limit. /snip If you remove the LPAR in question from the group then it definitely will NOT count toward the group limit. If you want it to count, then soft cap it with a defined capacity of a very large size. It will count toward the group limit and only the group limit will cause it to be capped. That said, if you are establishing the group in order to lower software costs, the uncapped LPAR, not a member of the group, will probably negate your efforts. While you are at it, check to see if INITIAL CAPPING is set for the LPAR in question. If it is not, then this LPAR is not capped at all as the CP weights will only take effect when there is contention from other LPARs. Hence if this LPAR is allowed to consume the entire CEC the WLC pricing will be affected. This will occur if the other LPARs are not busy or are inactive.

GDG recall ENQ IEF861I IEF863I IEF099I
Hi team, This time is an HSM question related to a GDG dataset. The problem description : JOBA is recalling of a large dataset from ML2 to DASD. MY.DATASET.(0). JOBB during the JOBA recalling creates a new version of the dataset MY.DATASET.(+1) JOBB waits until the recall from JOBA ends. Related messages during JOBB running. IEF861I FOLLOWING RESERVED DATA SET NAMES UNAVAILABLE TO JOBB IEF863I DSN=MY.DATASET RC=04 IEF099I JOB JOBB WAITING FOR DATA SETS Questions : During a GDG recall, the HSM keep in exclusive mode all versions of the dataset and cannot create new versions till tne recall ends? Is it normal behaviour of the HSM or is there some parameter to avoid this? Best regards and happy weekend.

Re: Not able to login to TSO
Michael ... but may be you have different STC name? Given that the PROFILE data set contains the traditional TELNET statements, it's a fair bet that Saurabh is still relying on the integrated implementation of the TELNET server function and so will *not* have any separate address space. Actually I don't know whether or not it is possible to use both the integrated flavour and the separate flavour! Seems unlikely don't you think? ... doing VTAM routing to other MVS ... In principle, routing within an SNA network need not purely be by means of SNA nodes running VTAM. I guess I got into a super-analytical frame of mind when dealing with the matter of the separate address space. I would have used the word issue rather than matter but these days, with the massive misuse of the word issue I dare not! Even trying-to-be-trendy Dave Cameron - Eton-educated no less! - managed to get not just his tongue twisted trying to work out in an interview whether to use the word issue or problem. This nonsense has reached the highest in the land which thought it *owned* the language!

Is it normal behaviour of the HSM or is there some parameter to avoid this? Best regards and happy weekend. Enrique Montero It is normal behavior for a GDG in general. The enq is placed on the GDG base not the individual GDG entry. So if any long running job is creating a GDG +1, it will be the base name that is enqueued.

By that, I mean this as a reference to 'Rapid Development' and 'Point And Click' IDE's which has taken over the data processing and even, engineering world. My favorite analogue for this is to point to the differences between the venerable SR-71 Blackbird, which was substantially designed with pencil, paper and slide rule, and modern high-performance military jets designed with point 'n' click CAD/CAM systems. There has been nothing built since the SR-71 that can compete with its raw speed and altitude capabilities, and likely there never will be (but for political rather than scientific reasons). Allegedly, a prime consideration for Boeing's scuttling of its Supersonic Transport (SST) project back in the 1960s was a conclusion by some pseudo-scientists that sonic booms cause cancer.

Re: Not able to login to TSO
Saurabh At first I suspected that you had changed your release of z/OS from one where the traditional TELNET (which incorporates 3270 capability) can run in the main Communications Server (CS) IP address space to the one where it *must* run in a separate address space - but not so. That change is imposed from V1R9 - although you could already be running traditional TELNET in its own address space in V1R7, a migration aid very kindly provided by the IBM CS developers. I see from your PROFILE data set that you are in fact running your traditional TELNET integrated with the main CS IP address space as it has been since the dawn of TCP/IP for VM and TCP/IP for MVS. We are facing issue ... Incidentally, since you are not able to do something you expected to be able to do, what you are facing is a *problem* not one of these trendy misuses of the word issue - for the sake of all that is holy. This is just one more issue, the word used correctly, which mitigates my low blood pressure problem, the word used correctly, a problem because I have a tendency to faint when standing up if I'm insufficiently riled! Logging onto TSO by means of TELNET, specifically TELNET client and server instances which employ TN3270, or usually these days, TN3270E protocols, involves many components. That being so, as Cris Hernandez requested, we need to have the details of the failed attempt finally to log on to TSO. A. Did the TN3270 client establish a TN3270 TCP connection over the IP network to the TN3270 server? B. What evidence is there that this succeeded? Is there an USS[1] message 10 from your customised USS table USSYSA7 being displayed? C. If the USS message 10 is displayed, what happens when the USS command for the purpose of logging on to TSO is entered and there is an attempt to initiate an SNA session between the traditional TELNET server function and the TSO application? There may be some VTAM messages which appeared at this time. D. If the TSO logon panel is displayed, is there a failure to be able to enter the right information to be able to progress? I'm happy to try to help you out with A, B and C but probably not so much D. On the other hand there is a wealth of expertise in the IBM-MAIN list who will no doubt be able to compensate for my not knowing how to guide you through that last potential barrier. But, talking of expertise in lists, the best list to deal with points A, B and C is actually IBMTCP-L, accessed as follows: For IBMTCP-L subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO IBMTCP-L As a matter of interest, what is the purpose in your mentioning z/OS V1R9 and V1R10? Possible relevance to the topic you have raised here is that, in those releases, the traditional TELNET function must run in a separate address space but this has no significance I can see for your current problem with your V1R7 system which evidently from your PROFILE data set is running an integrated traditional TELNET function. A final point: one thing that needs to be checked is that the TELNET server function really is the one you indicate with the PROFILE data set you posted. There are other ways to support a TELNET server, one of which is an OSA feature running the ICC function. Just to be sure, you should assure us that you have checked that the TELNET configuration with which you are having a difficulty is the one you think it is. - [1] There are very many people in this list who misuse the term USS when they should be using the term z/OS UNIX or z/UNIX. I divide people into those who deliberately misuse the term, the conceited idiots, and those who are misled by the perpetual misuse by conceited idiots who should know better and are beyond the reach of reason. Those misled of course tend to be those who have recently become involved with z/OS who should be being assisted in their understanding of this complex topic but who are treated with disdain by the conceited idiots. For example, in trying to solve this problem, you may well be trying to examine the role of the USS table, its commands and messages, in trying to resolve your problem. You may well have become thoroughly confused over how this relates in any way with what you think you have learned is to what USS might refer, namely, and quite falsely, z/OS UNIX System Services. The conceited idiots are too thick to get their puny brains round this particular problem - or is that also an issue? - Chris Mason On Fri, 5 Aug 2011 11:57:42 +0530, saurabh khandelwal sourabhkhandelwal...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, We are facing issue in TCPIP profile of z/OS 1.7.

Messages can be useful. In this case, the message clearly stated what the problem was. If you had looked up the message or investigated what it indicated the error was, rather than posting here, you might have been able to solve the problem yourself. In general, when an error message is issued, go look up that message. Read the explanation carefully and try to follow the recommended actions. If you can't find the message or it is unclear or the action does not work, then others may be able to help. Access to message manuals is key to doing the job effectively.

Re: GDG recall ENQ IEF861I IEF863I IEF099I
On 08/05/2011 06:49 AM, Lizette Koehler wrote: Questions : During a GDG recall, the HSM keep in exclusive mode all versions of the dataset and cannot create new versions till tne recall ends? Is it normal behaviour of the HSM or is there some parameter to avoid this? Best regards and happy weekend. Enrique Montero It is normal behavior for a GDG in general. The enq is placed on the GDG base not the individual GDG entry. So if any long running job is creating a GDG +1, it will be the base name that is enqueued. I do not know if IBM was ever asked to address this concern. Lizette IBM would have to be very careful how they touched this code, as there are risks a change might cause more problems than it solved. I believe both GDG base and GDS enqueues are involved in a relative GDG reference, but there are specific conventions about order and type of enqueue. The GDG base enqueue is what protects against two concurrent new GDS creations by two unrelated programs in order to guarantee consistent assignment of GV00 ordinals and consistent cataloging of new generations, including the case where a step ABEND results in subsequent deletion of the GDS. It also protects against resolving a GDG relative generation reference at times when the generations are in transition. Having two tasks with conflicting GDS creations running at the same time is potentially a scheduling/application-design error as there is no guarantee which process gets the GDG enqueue first, so from the end user's viewpoint the process may appear non-deterministic, even though it is deterministic and consistent from the view of MVS. A DFHSM recall of a GDS is physically updating the GDS by moving it, even though the job step intent may be to read, so this muddles the waters as to what kind of enqueues may be required and appropriate. As long as the GDS can't be deleted by the step doing the recall, there shouldn't be any need to modify the GDG base itself so a GDG base enqueue might seem unneeded; but what might happen if some other process attempted to delete the GDS by relative generation number while the recall was in progress? It used to be there were some methods of getting access to a GDS, like ISPF browse or JCL reference by specific GV00 number, that bypassed any enqueue on the GDG base and only enqueued the GDS; and that in some cases this could blow away (ABEND) a batch job step trying to access the same GDG family by relative generation: the relative GDG JCL/batch allocation logic assumed/required that the proper GDG base enqueue preceded the GDS enqueue and it couldn't tolerate an enqueue failure on the GDS that it knew should have worked after enqueueing the base. So, failure to enqueue the GDG base at all or using enqueues that are inconsistent with existing GDG enqueue conventions has introduced problems in the past. This is not to say change is impossible or undesirable, only that finding and fixing unintended side effects may not be trivial. This is in an area where omitted GDG base enqueues in the past have produced production batch ABENDs. -- Joel C.

Netview security problem
Would anyone know what is causing the error below? I am trying to researchit but I am not very familiar with Netview internals and parameters and need a fast solution. The RACF group says that nothing was changed on this lpar and the Netview programmer is not sure about any changes to security. I think that the error started happening when we went to Netview 5.4 from either 5.3 or 5.2 The clist named NEWCOPYR is invoked from userid 0018 via a job stream issuing commands from a program (via svc 34). The user is not authorized to issue any MVS commands directly but has always been allowed to invoke clists (via * for automation Netview) from the program. The NEWCOPYR clist routes the commands to an autoperator (DPCINTAA) for processing - The ROUTE and other commands have always run under the auto-operator's id which has authority to issue them - now they are trying to be run under the invoking users id (0018). Is there some parameter in Netview to control this so that the commands just run under the userid of the Netview operator and not the invoking user?

Re: Netview security problem
From this excerpt, Netview 5.4 does pass the MVS commands on for security checking. The difference now is that it is checking against the invoking userid, not that of the Netview operator. In NetView V5R4 there was a change to allow the D (DISPLAY), F (MODIFY), and V (VARY) commands to be issued from a NetView operator task without the MVS prefix. These commands are now sent to the VTAM command processor where they are checked to determine if they are VTAM commands If they are not VTAM commands, they are forwarded to the MVS command processor (CNMCMVS) where they are processed the same as if they had been entered using the MVS command including security checking. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Walt Farrell Sent: Friday, August 05, 2011 12:20 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Netview security problem On Fri, 5 Aug 2011 11:58:45 -0400, Barkow, Eileen ebar...@doitt.nyc.gov wrote: We do not want the give the user access to issue MVS commands - That is not the way this worked.

Well, no I'm a bit lost in understanding to which component the RACF message applies and how what appears to be, in effect, a change introducing convenience in NetView might introduce a change relevant to RACF.

If a change introduces a problem, then change back to the way it was.

AUTHCHK used to default to TARGETID, which used the userid of the task running (the Netview operator) as opposed to SOURCEID (the 5.4 default), which uses the id of the invoker.

Re: Netview security problem
Eileen, Actually the comment that Netview itself does not invoke security checking is correct. Netview issues the MGCRE macro, which passes a command to the console interface. The interface console determines what command is being issued, and performs security checks to insure that the userid that is either defaulted, or requested by the caller of the MGCRE macro via the UTOKEN parameter is authorized to issue the command. My guess is that NETVIEW passes the UTOKEN of the user signed to the NETVIEW session if AUTHCHK=SOURCEID, and passes the UTOKEN of the NETVIEW address space if AUTHCHK=TARGETID . In either case, NETVIEW isn't making the security requests, they are made by the console service, in the same way that console services validates instructions issued from SDSF, the TSO OPER command, or any other application that issues MGCRE. === Wayne Driscoll OMEGAMON DB2 L3 Support/Development wdrisco(AT)us.ibm.com === From: Barkow, Eileen ebar...@doitt.nyc.gov To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Date: 08/05/2011 02:52 PM Subject: Re: Netview security problem Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Thanks for your comments Chris, but I think that you missed the point of the excerpt I included, which was just in response to someone saying that Netview itself does not invoke security checking - it does invoke security checking and how it does it depends upon the AUTHCHK option.

Re: Not able to login to TSO
When it comes to unix (or winders), I really don't mind being the village idiot, because at least I know what I don't know, or at least I thought so until I read this rant. A lot of my manuals refer to (what I call) mainframe unix as OMVS and/or USS. Not being a seasoned uniq, all these references are synonymous to me. Kindly define and differentiate these terms for me so I can return to knowing what I don't know with peace of mind restored. - [1] There are very many people in this list who misuse the term USS when they should be using the term z/OS UNIX or z/UNIX. I divide people into those who deliberately misuse the term, the conceited idiots, and those who are misled by the perpetual misuse by conceited idiots who should know better and are beyond the reach of reason. Those misled of course tend to be those who have recently become involved with z/OS who should be being assisted in their understanding of this complex topic but who are treated with disdain by the conceited idiots. For example, in trying to solve this problem, you may well be trying to examine the role of the USS table, its commands and messages, in trying to resolve your problem. You may well have become thoroughly confused over how this relates in any way with what you think you have learned is to what USS might refer, namely, and quite falsely, z/OS UNIX System Services. The conceited idiots are too thick to get their puny brains round this particular problem - or is that also an issue? - -- 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
