Mr. Prickett Morgan is known to be hysterically (sorry, meant to say 
historically) anti-IBM in his musings. He's been a journalist watching IBM for 
20 years, so he must be an expert on all things mainframes, musn't he? Most 
people on this Forum take his comments with large quantities of salt.

Suggestion for a Job running Under a Loop

2011-09-19 Thread Jake anderson
Hi All,

I have development system(LPAR) here wherein the jobs submitted by the
developers/trainees gets into loop very often. Usually i use to find this
through either the TGNUM value or through the EXCP Cnt. But today i found a
genuine job( not a system or admin job) running with high TGNUM EXCP and
also with considerable amount of CPU time . Are there any way to find a if a
Job is really consuming lot of CPU or Running Under Loop for a long time.

Any suggestion or an advise would be of a great help.

Re: Suggestion for a Job running Under a Loop

If you can take a console dump of the address space with the branch trace 
turned on it MIGHT help. However, it is very difficult to determine if 
recurring addresses are due to a loop or due to normal processing that happens 
to run through the same code (ex. reading of a large file).

Re: Suggestion for a Job running Under a Loop

2011-09-19 Thread Lizette Koehler
Jake,

Have you implemented the CEEBXITA exit in LE?  If not, it could help
determine if jobs are re-initializing LE over and over.  You only need to
init LE once and then process.  Sometimes programs can init LE multiple
times thereby looking like it is in a loop.

Are the Cobol programs calling any assembler programs or any other language
(PL/I, C, etc)?

Hi

If you mean about the TGNUM the JES TrackGroupNumber, the job is writing 
into the SPOOL.

This output has any significance ?

Maybe if you set the OUTLIM and/or the CPU limit you could get a DUMP

Not a COBOL expert at all, but maybe the FLOW LE runtime option ?

Re: Batch Capacity Planning - BWATOOL?

2011-09-19 Thread Martin Packer
Mike, as it's been a week and no reply to your post I thought I'd bite the 
bullet and summarise my thoughts on Batch Capacity Planning in a blog post 
(or maybe two). (I'd been hoping some debate would ensue but none has 
shown up.) :-(

But on your question of BWATOOL, its role was really to show what happens 
to a batch job when the engine speed of the processor it's running on 
changes. I'm not sure how that really helps when it comes to Capacity 
Planning. And I've not seen ACTIVE references to BWATOOL in a long time.

If you really DO want to figure out the effect of an engine speed change 
you probably could roll your own - in MXG or whatever. You'd have to 
supply your own engine speed comparison, of course. And you'd have to 
understand that CPU queuing make the whole exercise a little fraught. 
Perhaps I'll touch on more-versus-faster as it applies to Batch in the 
first post.

All,

 

We are looking at acquiring a new application to run on z/OS.
Supposedly, the batch is very CPU intensive.  We have been talking to a
another customer who already runs this application to get an idea of the
resources we will need.

 

I'd feel better though, if we found a good batch capacity planning tool
to gauge how it will run on our system.  I ran across a tool called
BWATOOL from IBM.  Has anyone used BWATOOL?  Is it still available?  Are
there other/similar tools for z/OS batch capacity planning?

Re: CICS explorer query

Hi Sidd,

There are a few more things you could look into.

1. Are you running the same level of CICS and CICSPlex SM libraries?
2. When you make the connection to the CMCI for the first time, do you see
any CICSPlex SM resources (EYU*) being dynamically installed in your MSGUSR
log?
3. Do you see anything unusual in your JESYSMSG log?

If these don't help then it is probably time to raise a PMR with IBM.

 DFHWB0114…CWXN A non-HTTP request has been received by an HTTP service.
The
 request has been rejected.

 And in the explorer I am getting :

 CNX0106E Connect failed with error ‘CMAS, NOTAVAILABLE, CPSMAPI’

 I am wondering why is it checking on CPSM as I am trying to connect to a
 standalone cics region.

 FYI–SYSIN OVERRIDE SEC=NO
 DFH$WUTC===AUTENTICATION=NO

 I have added hlq.CPSM.SEYUAUTH to STEPLIB of the CICS started task and
 hlq.CPSM.SEYULOAD to DFHRPL.

 I have installed DFH$WUTC and DFH$WUUR(this is poniting to correct DFH
 $WUTC)
 as I see the port being opened “DFH$WUTC has been opened on port 41490 at
 IP
 address ANY’

 I do not see any SMSS active in the CICS region.That is if I check the
 JESMSGLG,I am not seeing something like this:

 EYUX0001I applid SMSS initialization program starting
 – EYUXL0003I applid CPSM Version 410 SMSS startup in progress
 – EYUXL0022I applid SMSS Phase I initialization complete
 – EYUXL0007I applid SMSS Phase II initialization complete
 – EYUNL0099I applid SMSS SMSS LRT initialization complete

 Am I missing any PTF's here ?

 Any pointers will be of great help.Thanks in advance.

RESMGR Add Return Code 44

2011-09-19 Thread Chuck Arney
Does anyone have any in site into what might cause a return code of 44 
from a RESMGR ADD,TYPE=TASK?  The manual says System error. An 
unrecoverable error occurred while processing the request.* *so that's 
of no practical help.


The issuer is running in task mode with P=S=H.  The request is basically 
coded as:


  RESMGRADD,TOKEN=(R3),TYPE=TASK,TCB=CURRENT,PARAM=(R4),
   ASID=CURRENT,ROUTINE=(BRANCH,(R2)),MF=(E,WORK_IBMPLIST)

All comments are welcome.

Re: Suggestion for a Job running Under a Loop

2011-09-19 Thread Ed Gould
 Maybe the easiest answer is to go into SDSF and look at the output and look at 
it to see exactly what the job is send to sys out. That will start a branch 
table to decide what to do.

Re: RESMGR Add Return Code 44

2011-09-19 Thread Rob Scott
A few questions :

(1) Did you pre-populate WORK_IBMPLIST with a model list form of RESMGR 
before the MF=E call ?
(2) Where does R3 point to ?
(3) Where does R2 point to ? 

Whenever I have used RESMGR in my code, I have always primed the plist from a 
constant RESMGR ADD,MF=L before using the MF=E form - so that hints that this 
macro might be one of those that require this extra attention (like WTO).

Just a thought
Some might be for Secured TN3270, or IPV6, or Other types of functions.  

You might post to the TCPIP newsgroup for more details.

connect time in SMF TYPE-30

2011-09-19 Thread Wang Xiaobing
Hi,

I check my batch job from SMF TYPE30, but confused on SMF30TCN and SMF30AIC.
One jcl's SMF30TCN is 13 minutes but SMF30AIC is 9 seconds.  

I have reviewed the description from IBM manual z/OS  MVS System Management 
Facilities, but still can not well understand what's the difference.

I assumed SMF30TCN is the total CONNECT time for the used datasets and SMF30AIC 
is the average CONNECT time for the DASD, but not true it is correct...Would 
you pls help to give some more explanation for these 2 SMF field?

  Return code 44 occurs when the FRR for the RESMGR service routine

there should be a logrec record.

Re: HSM/CA1 Tape Catalog Discrepancy

2011-09-19 Thread Neil Duffee
How are you calculating the values for comparison?  

In trying to come up with an amount for data stored on our tapes, we discovered 
that the CA-1 blocksize (for Earl reporting) was capped at 32k.  Since I was 
multiplying block-counts by blocksize in Earl, this caused our FDRABR tapes to 
be under-reported.  FDRABR uses a full-track blocksize ie. 55k for 3390, so I 
had to manually code around it in the report to get better accuracy in the 
totals.  

Maybe you're encountering the same thing?  Look up an HSM tape in the CA-1 to 
see what's shown for block size  count.

Re: Multile TCP/IP Stacks

2011-09-19 Thread Chris Mason
Lindy

One customer I have assisted in the past supported two organisations in one 
production environment and so had separate instances of the IP component of 
Communications Server for that reason. I was involved in combining the two in 
order to create a more manageable environment.

At another customer I detected that there had been multiple instances  - since 
I was obliged to specify the name of the address space in VTAM for Enterprise 
Extender use even though only one instance was active. I'm afraid I wasn't 
given any details on *why* there had been multiple instances.

The other list which it was suggested you use is found as follows:

For IBMTCP-L subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to 
lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO IBMTCP-L

Incidentally, you will need to find higher level discussion of how to employ 
the IP component of Communications Server than is found in the regular IBM 
manuals. These later will only tell you it can be done and *how* it can be 
done, not *why* you might like to do it.

WLM Problems

keep a looping lower priority task in a development CICS region from
affecting the dispatching of a production CICS system. Is this really
true. I'm not the WLM guy, but I would have thought that there would be
some way to set it up so that test, dev, batch or online would not
affect a well behaved production environment. Would someone please
enlighten me.

ADRDSSU Restore

We are running ZOS 1.12 here, under Z/VM.

We want, execute a BACKUP from  our production , and restore to another CMS

 DUMP INDD(DISKIN) OUTDD(ROBOOUT) ALLEXCP ALLDATA(*) ADMIN

Then, can we do a restore ?

I need use the ADRDSSU COPY option ?

Someone know, where I can found a sample for this ?

Thanks very much.

If this is the case, you can avoid the MVS JCL and use good ole DDR, as
long as you have your DASD ready on your target (z/OS) system.

Much easier than what you describe below.

Mr. Prickett Morgan is known to be hysterically (sorry, meant to say 
historically) anti-IBM in his musings. He's been a journalist watching 
IBM for 20 years, so he must be an expert on all things mainframes, 
musn't he? Most people on this Forum take his comments with large 
quantities of salt.

-unsnip--
Many of us also wish he would take equally large doses of Ex-Lax (or an 
equally powerful laxative). That would cause him to shrink away to 
nothingness.  :-)


Equally large doses of arsenic would also serve the purpose.

Re: WLM Problems

2011-09-19 Thread Staller, Allan
As usual the answer is it Depends

IMO, the answer is yes, there is a way to exert this control an prevent
the DEV/TEST region from impacting production (or at the very least
mitigating the impact). 

There are many ways to do this and it depends on how your environment is
set up.

1) Are the CICS regions managed to address space goals or transaction
goals?
2) Are the CICS regions in the same Service Class?

This is kind of  the minimum level of knowledge I would need in order to
provide a road map for resolution of this issue?

Please post the above info.

snip
Hello all, I have a question. I'm being told that there is no way to
keep a looping lower priority task in a development CICS region from
affecting the dispatching of a production CICS system. Is this really
true. I'm not the WLM guy, but I would have thought that there would be
some way to set it up so that test, dev, batch or online would not
affect a well behaved production environment. Would someone please
enlighten me.

Re: WLM Problems

2011-09-19 Thread Gerhard Adam
Yes.  The simplest way is to ensure that your production regions always have
a higher importance level than your development regions.  That way, their
goals are preferentially protected against lower importance regions.

NY Metro NaSPA Chapter Meeting: Tuesday, 27 September 2011

2011-09-19 Thread Mark Nelson
The next meeting of the NY Metro NaSPA Chapter will be on Tuesday, 27 
September  in room 1219 at the IBM Building at 590 Madison Avenue, New 
York City, from 10:00 AM until 4:30 PM. We have a full-day of great 
sessions focusing on the latest release of z/OS: 

Enterprise Encryption 101, Phil Smith III, Voltage Security

We've all seen the seemingly weekly news about yet another data breach: 
millions of credit card numbers, SSNs, or other personal information 
exposed. Meanwhile, we all know the mainframe is secure, so we don't need 
to worry, right? OK, not right -- while mainframe systems tend to be more 
secure than distributed, this is as much due to a combination of decades 
of rigid change control theology and isolation from the Big, Bad Internet 
as it is to any inherent mainframe capabilities. 

And this is changing. Mainframe resources are increasingly accessible from 
the Internet, and even when they aren't, internal threats as well as 
trusted partners represent risk that must be mitigated. Mainframe 
applications interact with distributed machines, which can mean that a 
compromised distributed machine can exploit its access to mainframe data 
to perform dastardly deeds. Outsourcing also adds risk, as outsourced 
systems are by definition sharing floorspace and even silicon with other 
enterprises.  Encryption is the technology that minimizes the cost of such 
data breaches, by making the leaked data useless to the thief. So more 
and more sites are investigating encryption, some even before a breach 
occurs.

But where do you start with this technology? How do you make a sensible 
choice among dozens of vendors, between hardware and software? Where and 
when do you encrypt data, and is that sufficient? What about emerging 
standards and legislation, such as PCI DSS, Red Flag, GLBA, SB1386, 
Directive 95/46/EC, et al.?

Come hear about implementing encryption from a business perspective -- 
what you need to worry about and how to approach it. This is not a 
comparison of encryption technologies per se, but rather a look at the 
issues surrounding them. While the presenter works for an encryption 
vendor, this is a general presentation, with minor content at the end that 
discusses the Voltage SecureData product as an example..

z/OS 1.13 New Facilities and Features,  John Eells, Senior  Software 
Engineer,  IBM Corporation

This sessions describes the highlights of the latest release of z/OS, 
focusing on those new facilities and features in z/OS that affect system 
programmers and developers. We'll discuss highlights of planned functions 
for scalability and performance, availability, management, security, 
application development, and usability. 

Migrating to z/OS 1.13 - Part 1, Marna Walle, Senior Technical Staff 
Member, IBM Corporation 

This is session, given in two parts, is of interest to system programmers 
and their managers who are migrating to z/OS 1.13 from either z/OS 1.11 or 
z/OS 1.12. We strongly recommended that you attend both sessions for a 
complete migration picture. In part one, Marna focuses on preparing for 
your z/OS 1.13 migration. We'll discuss the changed content of z/OS 1.13, 
ordering and delivery options, and will explain the coexistence, 
migration, fall back, and service policies. Driving and target system 
requirements for both software and hardware are highlighted along with 
some migrations actions you can perform now on your current z/OS release.

Migrating to z/OS 1.13 - Part 2, Marna Walle, Senior Technical Staff 
Member, IBM Corporation 

This is a continuation of the session above.


Pre-registration is requested and recommended as it simplifies getting 
into the building and helps us get the room set up correctly.  Please RSVP 
to mar...@us.ibm.com as soon as is possible if you are thinking of 
attending. 


The meeting is open to non-NaSPA members and is free.  Please pass this 
invitation on to your colleagues!

Thanks!!! - Mark

elapsed time for DFSORT

2011-09-19 Thread Wang Xiaobing
Hi,

Here we have a performance problem on DFSORT.
The same DFSORT job run on different day have different elapsed time, the data 
processed is almost same.

Form the job log, we find the different is the longer job show DFSORT COULD NOT 
DYNAMICALLY ALLOCATE THE OPTIMAL WORK DATA SET SPACE, but our DFSORT job 
aloways use Hiperspace instead of work data set space.

Here is DFSORT log:

 ICE127I 0 OPTIONS: OVFLO=RC0 ,PAD=RC0 ,TRUNC=RC0 
,SPANINC=RC16,VLSCMP=N,SZERO=Y,RESET=Y,VSAMEMT=Y,DYNSPC=256
 ICE128I 0 OPTIONS: 
SIZE=57313801,MAXLIM=1048576,MINLIM=450560,EQUALS=N,LIST=Y,ERET=RC16 
,MSGDDN=SYSOUT
 ICE129I 0 OPTIONS: VIO=N,RESDNT=ALL ,SMF=NO   
,WRKSEC=Y,OUTSEC=Y,VERIFY=N,CHALT=N,DYNALOC=(SYSDA   ,004),ABCODE=MSG
 ICE130I 0 OPTIONS: RESALL=4096,RESINV=0,SVC=109 
,CHECK=Y,WRKREL=Y,OUTREL=Y,CKPT=N,COBEXIT=COB2
 ICE131I 0 OPTIONS: 
TMAXLIM=6291456,ARESALL=0,ARESINV=0,OVERRGN=65536,CINV=Y,CFW=Y,DSA=64
 ICE132I 0 OPTIONS: VLSHRT=N,ZDPRINT=Y,IEXIT=N,TEXIT=N,LISTX=N,EFS=NONE
,EXITCK=S,PARMDDN=DFSPARM ,FSZEST=N
 ICE133I 0 OPTIONS: HIPRMAX=OPTIMAL,DSPSIZE=MAX 
,ODMAXBF=0,SOLRF=Y,VLLONG=N,VSAMIO=N,MOSIZE=MAX
 ICE235I 0 OPTIONS: NULLOUT=RC0
...
 ICE258I 0 DFSORT COULD NOT DYNAMICALLY ALLOCATE THE OPTIMAL WORK DATA SET SPACE
 ICE165I 0 TOTAL WORK DATA SET TRACKS ALLOCATED: 33480 , TRACKS USED: 0
 ICE199I 0 MEMORY OBJECT STORAGE USED = 0M BYTES
 ICE180I 0 HIPERSPACE STORAGE USED = 11628272K BYTES
 ICE188I 0 DATA SPACE STORAGE USED = 0K BYTES
...

And, we checked the SMF TYPE30 for these 2 job, it shows the total connect 
time(SMF30TCN) obviously increased..and the  increased connect time(SMF30DCT )  
is only used for SYSOUT DD..

My question is :
Q1, why DFSORT COULD NOT DYNAMICALLY ALLOCATE THE OPTIMAL WORK DATA SET SPACE ? 
and how to correct it ? we do not change the JOB.

Q2, In this case, we use  Hiperspace instead of work data set space, ICE258I 
will impace the total connect time ? and cause the elapsed become longer ?

Q3, What's the possible root reason increased the  total connect time(SMF30TCN) 
?

Welcome any comments...TIA.

WXB.

Hello,
  When I am trying to open IPCs penel, I am getting below problem.

 Dump directory name 'SYS1.DDIR' will be used
 Dump directory space will be allocated in units of 15000 records
 Dump directory space will be allocated on volume VSAM01
 DEFINE CLUSTER(NAME('SYS1.DDIR') VOLUME(VSAM01) INDEXED REUSE
SHAREOPTIONS(1,3)
) INDEX(NAME('SYS1.DDIR.I') RECORDS(150,150) CONTROLINTERVALSIZE(4096))
DATA(NAM
 ***

It tries to allocate Dump director space into VSAM01, which i dont have in
my system. Can you please guide, where I can change this to make it work.

Thanks  Regards
Saurabh
