The system is Z/OS V1.10. Is there a specific way through SMPE to determine what is the current maintenance level? IMO, any attempt to determine the PUT or RSU level of a system is too simplistic to be useful. Since you did not apply the maintenance, you would have to look at the SMPLOG for the target zone to determine how any maintenance was installed. You could list SYSMODs in the target zone and search for SOURCEIDs to determine whether PTFS for that SOURCEID have been applied. That would not tell you that that SOURCEID had been applied, but only that those PTFs had been applied. A much more useful way to determine the state of the system is to receive the latest HOLDDATA and run a REPORT ERRORSYSMODS.

Re: Moving to an outsourcing datacenter
Thank you Eileen for mentioning that (D/R approach) When we moved our Datacenter from a leased building to a self-owned building (and admittedly rushed by a water main break under the leased building) - we treated the move (with the exceptions, as Eileen noted) as a controlled disaster - we shut off all online access and allowed existing batch to finish on the old system - shut down all onlines (IDMS DB2 CICS) - I am pretty sure we used virtual tapes to transport data (had we it to do over again, I think we would PPRC the data) and then brought everything up as we would in a D/R situation (although there was no uncommitted work to roll out) - it really worked quite will Chris Hoelscher IDMS DB2 Database Administrator 502-476-2538 You only need to test the programs you don't want to get called on later -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Barkow, Eileen Sent: Friday, May 20, 2011 1:18 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: [IBM-MAIN] Moving to an outsourcing datacenter But the network part of things is a lot more complicated.

z/OS 1.11 question on DFDSS/ADRDSSU
I occasionally restore using ADRDSSU and rename the restored dataset to my HLQ - so that I can have an older version of a dataset to compare to the current dataset. By default (it appears) - the restore process will put the restored/renamed dataset on the same DASD volume as from which it was originally backed up (which is fine with me ) However - at times I need this dataset to remain for days or even weeks - the job that does the weekly backup of this DASD VOLUME does not have authority to read/backup any datasets with my HLQ (nor should it) - thus the backup abends and I get yelled at Yes - I could remember to force the restored dataset to another DASD volume -but - my real question (and preferred solution ) is - is there an option to tell ADSDRRU if I do not have authority to backup any dataset - don't try ??( I did attempt to read z/OS V1R11.0 DFSMSdss Storage Administration) but did not find any help there - so either I cannot read IBM-ese or my hoped-for solution does not exist - thanks for any suggestions Chris Hoelscher IDMS DB2 Database Administrator 502-476-2538 You only need to test the programs you don't want to get called on later The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain CONFIDENTIAL material.

Fw: ShopzSeries Outage and IP Address Changes Notification
for those who care about such things, I just received thin in my inbox Dear ..., There will be a 15 hour outage beginning Saturday October 24 at 9:00 AM MDT until October 24 at 11:59 PM MDT. During this time, ShopzSeries will be unavailable. In support of IBM network infrastructure improvements, beginning October 24, 2009 new download servers with new IP addresses will be deployed. Included are servers which support internet delivery of ShopzSeries product and service orders. This effort will allow IBM to direct download orders to appropriate servers depending on business rules and server availability. Your firewall configuration may require updates to permit access to the new download servers on October 24. It is recommended that firewall configuration updates be made as soon as possible. Rather than deleting or changing the current host names and IP addresses, the new host names and IP addresses should be added and the old addresses removed only after you have verified all processes are successfully using the new download server host names and IP addresses. Current servers and IP addresses (prior to October 24, 2009): download3.boulder.ibm.com 170.225.15.76 (primary FTP) inetsd01.boulder.ibm.com170.225.15.62 (FTP server endpoint) lindsey.boulder.ibm.com 170.225.15.70 (FTP server endpoint) After October 24, 2009, the new servers and primary/fail over IP addresses: download3.boulder.ibm.com 170.225.15.76 download3.mul.ie.ibm.com129.35.224.114 delivery03-bld.dhe.ibm.com 129.35.224.103 170.225.15.103 delivery03-mul.dhe.ibm.com 129.35.224.113 170.225.15.113 Regards, The ShopzSeries Team The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain CONFIDENTIAL material.

Re: Verify, explicit implicit and condition codes as well as Re: RCF - SC23-8528-01 - Enterprise COBOL V4R2 LRM
well, i guess the question i would have is: is placing an IDCAMS in front of an existing job step, or accepting a 97 as successful just masking a problem? perhaps there is no fix other than to verify, but would you not want to know that a problem existed? i did not read the manual - so i do not know - but does IDCAMS return a different code if the VSAM file NEEDED high rba syncronization (verify)? if not - then i would much rather write a cobol program to do a skeleton open - and TRAP the 97 and abort the jobstream or send out an alert that a problem existed , rather than pretend nothing was unusual (if not fkat-out wrong) maybe this is overkill - but the fact that this thread exists means SOMEONE is interested Chris Hoelscher Senior IDMS DB2 Database Administrator Humana Inc 502-476-2538 choelsc...@humana.com you only need to test the programs that you want to work correctly The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain CONFIDENTIAL material.

since everyone seems to have a (correct) different answer - how about just create a PDS as you think it will be created (or exists) at your site - start adding members and check the directory blocks used after each member add - you should then get a good idea for YOUR circumstances how many members will fill a directory block .

hello all we perform weekly (weakly?) volume backups with ADRDSSU: DUMP SELECTMULTI(FIRST) ODD(TAPE1) LOGINDD(DISK1) - OPT(4) SHR DS(INC(**) - ) occassionally the volume is empty ADR415W (001)-DTDSC(04), NO DATA SETS WERE COPIED, DUMPED, OR RESTORED FROM ANY VOLUME but that appears to be OKAY to DFDSS ADR012I (SCH)-DSSU (01), 2008.244 04:58:15 DFSMSDSS PROCESSING COMPLETE. HIGHEST RETURN CODE IS 0004 FROM: TASK001 however, when attempting to COPY these volume backups for D/R (although admittedly PPRC will be rendering these obsolete): COPYDUMP IDD(TAPEIN) ODD(TAPEOT) the empty ones fail: ADR351E (001)-MIO (01), UNEXPECTED END OF FILE ON DDNAME TAPEIN ADR006I (001)-STEND(02), 2008.244 15:32:28 EXECUTION ENDS ADR013I (001)-CLTSK(01), 2008.244 15:32:28 TASK COMPLETED WITH RETURN CODE 0016 ADR012I (SCH)-DSSU (01), 2008.244 15:32:28 DFSMSDSS PROCESSING COMPLETE. HIGHEST RETURN CODE IS 0016 FROM: TASK001 i opened a PMR and was told : working as designed so my question is: 1) (thetorical) why does DFDSS allow a null tape to be CREATED but not allow that same (null) tape to be READ ??? 2) (realistic) - how do other shops handle this? specifically allow RC=16 on COPYDUMP ? thanks, Chris Hoelscher Senior IDMS DB2 Database Administrator Humana Inc 502-476-2538 [EMAIL PROTECTED] The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain CONFIDENTIAL material.

Re: Going unsupported - time to fold?
well, let me ask this question - applying not only to the question at hand but to all shops that might choose to go commando (unsupported) 1) if by going unsupported - you lose the ability to apply fixes to software that might have otherwise fixable security holes - are you therefore in violation of HIPAA? S-OX? or, if you have government or military contracts, in criminal violation of government-mandated data privacy protection laws? 2) or at the very least - is leaving yourself vulnerable to un-repairable software grounds for a share-holder (taxpayer in this case) lawsuit? with today's litigious society - i am not sure these questions can be ignore - Chris glad i am not in management Hoelscher Senior IDMS DB2 Database Administrator Humana Inc 502-476-2538 [EMAIL PROTECTED] The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain CONFIDENTIAL material.

help with IEBCOPY: selective load module copies
good morning everyone. after a large software maintence upgrade, i will hoping to selectively copy afffected load modules to the runtime loadlibs using IEBCOPY - this worked well enough, but the associated aliases were not copied - resulting in what appears to be orphaned aliases in the to loadlibs - is there any way to tell IEBCOPY (or any other utility) to update all associated aliases in the to dataset when the root load module is copied? or must I manually determine what aliases must be copied along with the root load modules? or am i just better off to copy the entire load library? thanks, Chris Hoelscher Senior IDMS DB2 Database Administrator Humana Inc 502-476-2538 [EMAIL PROTECTED] The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain CONFIDENTIAL material.

Probably one major impediment to its early implementation was the **requirement** for a z/Box (64-bit architecture) on which to run it. another major impediment to its early release (at least for us) was the 12-month install deadline. We need to wait until we have non-distractable resources (me) available for an appropriate time before we order the tape (hopefully sep-oct this year) had we been able to install it at our leisure, we might have ordered the tape years ago and already had it in by now .. but maybe not Chris Hoelscher IDMS DB2 Database Administrator Humana Inc 502-710-3038 [EMAIL PROTECTED] The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain CONFIDENTIAL material.

Identifying statically linked modules

scan a load library (1000s of members) and find all programs which contain
a specified CSECT?
Here is something i use (sort of)
1) run IEHLIST to dump a list of PDS Members:
LISTPDS DSNAME=xxx,VOL=SYSDA=vv
2) massage the data (eztrieve? earl? culprit? even COBOL?)as input to
AMBLIST
3) run AMBLIST :
LISTLOAD {OUTPUT={MODLIST | XREF | BOTH}}
{,TITLE=('title',position)}
{,DDN=ddname}
{,MEMBER={member | (member1,membern...)}}
{,RELOC=hh}
output=xref might be best
4) massage the output again (or use IEBIBALL to look for the CSECT in

(i have used the to look for IDR entries in load modules, but the process
should be the same
