Re: Automount user ZFS with allocuser
Ah. Well, I was thinking of a script that Kevin Mullen of US West (later Qwest) had for his organization. [snip] That was sure a very useful script back when automount did not yet support the allocation of file system data set. Apart from adding an OMVS segment, automount can do the rest for you today. I would give the userid for OMVS and your ZFS STCs all authority to all zFS data sets. I would do the same for HFS files for OMVS. There is no need for this if you define the OMVS and zFS address spaces as TRUSTED, which is the recommended way to do it. The advantage over PERMITting those userids to each and every file system data set is that the access is bound to the STC name, not to the userid. PERMITting OMVSKERN (which is the standard userid assigned to the kernel STC) to the file system data sets allows the same access to any other programm running under OMVSKERN. You may not have such but I know of installations that are using OMVSKERN for more that only the OMVS STC. I thought automount would work with HSF files only, and not with zFS. Automount can manage HFS, zFS and NFS file systems (basically every type of file system that can be handled with mount/unmount). It does only allocate data sets for HFS and ZFS file systems, however. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse -- 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

How much does GTF trace impact system throughput?
So far, in all the cases where I had to run GTF to gather debugging information, I could force the problem to occur and therefore GTF was only run for a short period of time and the impact on system throughput was not questioned.

Bill, thanks for the insight. Much appreciated. I only need two USR events (FD0 and FD4) that, as I understand it, PSF writes with the GTRACE macro.

Re: Unix File names EKM and dates
The config information will need to be changed each time the EKM STC is cycled. Apart from the filenames you already posted, what else do you need to change in the config file? If it is only filenames so they point to the current files, this is exactly what symbolic links are good for. You can keep the filenames the program refers to unchanged since these are the symbolic link names. As proposed in my REXX, you then create the files with the variable names and let the symlink point to them. I just recognized that my sample REXX will only work it the /EKM directory is unique to each z/OS instance and that this probably is not the case. You'd need to change the symlink names so these are different for different instances..h... this would require a different config file for each EKM instance. Do the EKM instances share the config file? Is it specified in the JCL?

- Because I need to view so many different versions of manuals, for different releases of IMS, z/OS, DFSMS, etc., it is not practical to download copies of all manuals to my work PC, home PC, laptop, etc., or to charge someone with doing the same on a company server. [snip] - Book Manager manuals are fast because only the portion you need is downloaded As for z/OS, I usually buy the CD-Collection and the copy all the *.boo and *.bks to my laptop. Verfy efficient, very handy. You even immediately can see all the versions in the bookshelf with Library Reader. Superb. Every now and then, I download the *.boo files from IBM products that still happen to offer them. Unfortunately *.bks files are normally missing, but they are build in a couple of minutes. Just did that for DB2 V9 a few weeks ago (well, not all books were available in *.boo format but the most important are). It would be great if IBM would offer ZIP files containing all the *.boo and the corresonding *.bks product by product.

Re: TCP/IP
I think that your terminology may be a bit off. A socket is a single communications path in TCPIP. Normally, a server will first BIND to a port, then LISTEN on that port. This is not a socket. When a request comes in, the code needs to ACCEPT. At this point you have an actual socket. I is my understanding that both client and server code first needs to obtain a socket using socket(). Servers then bind() the socket to a specific port and finally listen() for incoming connection requests. Clients connect() to the desired address, wacking up the server form the listen() call. The server then accepts the connection via accept() which creates a *new* socket reperesenting this very connection. The initial server side socket will be used to listen() again. A concurrent sercer will spawn() a new process to handle the new client request. The main process will close the socket returned by accept() and will go back to listen(). A single threaded server will handle client request, eventually close the socket (returned by accept()) and will the go back to listen(). -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: z/OS 1.10 and Data Areas
Your comments on this approach are of interest. I'm still using the Library Reader as the reference tool. It's fast, let's me search whole book shelves. It's not so good on printing more that a very few pages - PDF is the better way to go for this. In a big company, behind all the firewalls, proxy servers and what else there might be, internet access is quiter slow every now an then. Having the books on the local disk is very helpful. I don't understand why the Bookmaster files are disappearing. IBM still publishes the books in HTML format.

Re: How big is your z/OS 1.9 root and where does it live
Top ROOT is not a term I've run into before, although I understand what Lizette is using it for. Before OS/390 V1.9 (not to confuse with z/OS V1.9), it was simply the root file system. Then V1.9 introduced the syslpex sharing of file system and with this two new terms were coined: - The Sysplex Root, which simply is the first file system mounted by the kernel. It's the point you reach by cd /. There is only one sysplex root and all systems participating in sysplex sharing of file systems have it mounted as the top level filesystem. The sysplex root has a coulpe of mount points and a couple of sysbolic links but is empty otherwise. - The Version Root contains all the data (directories, files, etc.) that is delivered with each OS release. It is what has been called root file system before OS/390 V1.9. Some systems in the sysplex may share this file systems, some may have another version of it. The planning guide explains this all, although it problably more than one pass to get the idea. -- Peter Hunkeler CREDIT SUISSE Global Data Center Operations Print Processing Engineering / KIUK 3 Uetlibergstrasse 231 CH-8070 Zurich Phone +41 (0)44 332 2697 Fax +41 (0)44 332 4543 http://www.credit-suisse.com -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chase, John Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 4:28 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: How big is your z/OS 1.9 root and where does it live -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Peter, I totally agree with your statement, however, the descriptions and diagrams are very nice in this manual.

How do we insert in the beginning? I am using REXX for this program. There is no direct way to insert data into a sequential data set, neither at the beginning nor inbetween. You need to re-write the dataset with all the new and current records in the desired sequence.

Re: DCB parameter in COBOL and JCL
I might be wrong but if memory serve me right it has to do with a missing open/close and not with an empty dataset. Before SMS, newly allocated data set that have not been opened for OUTPUT didn't have an EOF mark written and the attributes in the DSCB were only those from the JCL. With SMS, the EOF mark is always written, however, the system cannot know what attributes a program would add (override) to those specified in the JCL *if* the program does not actually OPEN the data set. And I believe it still holds true that DCB information is only stored in the DSCB if the data set was open for OUTPUT (and has actually had WRITE operations against it). This has been discussed in the past.

Re: Can I intercept Cancel event in LE-based application?
To give control to application code, LE needs to trap the error (with anESTAE in case of ABENDs) and then tell the system it wants to retry. The LE code can then pass control to the application's error handler. By definition, an operator CANCEL leads to a non-retryable abend. So, I guess LE's error handler does indeed get control and will cleanup but then it will not retry but percolate (or it will retry but the sysetm ignores it). I'd say you need your own ESATE in the assembler code to get control when CANCELled. -- Peter Hunkeler CREDIT SUISSE -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: Calling Assembler module from REXX
1)make the assembler routine re-entrant. Successive LOADS will up the use count, but not actually bring in a new module. This will not help. I don't know how LINKMVS is implemented but from the word LINK in its name I would comclude that it is supposed to work like the LINK SVC: Load-give control-delete. A fresh copy would be loaded in every case. Create a second module. The one called from REXX is trying to read a Name/Token pair. If not found, it loads the second module and stores its entry point address in the above mentioned Name/Token pair. The first module will then find the Name/Token pair on subsequent calls and can branch directly to the already loaded module. If, what I conlcude from your initial post, your current implementation requires an OPEN and a CLOSE call, then you can connect the load and N/T pair creation to OPEN and the N/T pair deletion and the unload to the CLOSE call. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: Bookmanager CDs and readers

Re: How to change the ISPF code page?
Maybe this was already mentioned inthe thread, but I've been verifying effects of the changes to Terminal type by looking at the output from man commands issued from an ISHELL panel (in addition to viewing the macros mentioned). Square brackets look great there. But not so the square brackets I enter from my keyboard. I'm using PComm with Session parameters - Host Code-Page set to 1047. It was probably mentioned somewhere in this thread, but I don't know if that specification effects both keyboard mapping and display or just display. The square brackets that display correctly are x'AD' and x'BD'. These are their code points in CP1047. This is the default for the z/OS UNIX shell and utilites. So, as long as the terminal emulator is set to CP1047, they'll show up as expected. The square brackets from PComm are x'B0' and x'6A'. I've seen the brackets assigned to various code points in various code pages, but I could not find the code page that maps then to x'B0' and x'6A'. Does anybody know which code page this might be? I know I can change the keyboard mapping. Sure, but as far as PComm is concerned you would use the keyboard mapping tool and there you only assign characters visibly, i.e. you select from a list or you type them in. I've not seen a place where you can specify a hex value to be sent. IHMO, PComm will use the current Windows code page for the ASCII side (i.e. your keyboard) and the Host Code Page setting to translate from the character typed to the hex value to be sent to the host. If you open the keyboard utility, what character is shown as being the character assigned to the bracket keys?

Re: How to change the ISPF code page?
Is it possible that Lindy needs to add translation tables to ISPF? I acknowledge my ignorance wiht this ISPF topic. I still don't have a clue what this translation behind the various terminal models is intended for. Is it a relict from the time when real 3270 terminal were standard? Isn't this obsolete today when everybody is using terminal emulator software? Is it correct that this translation is only applied when displaying data on the terminal but not when writing data from the terminal? (This is at least what I seem to see). What does it translate? I tried several combinations ISPF terminal type vs. emulator-CP but the more I try the more it confuses me. I admit that, for once, I'm too lazy to RTFM.

Re: Code Page 1047 vs 037 (Was: coming soon ...)
IBM's macro syntax diagrams consist of drawing characters, square brackets, braces, parentheses, etc. and look great with the right code page and translation table settings. The appearance of garbage characters is an artifact of an emulator code page or ISPF translation table issue. You haven't convinced me :-) As said before none of the code pages 037, 285, 500, 273, 1047 have the curly braces assigned at x'8b' and x'9b'. Except from CP273 they all have them at x'C0' and x'D0'. So it's not a problem that can be solved with correct code page settings. You need ISPF to do some strange undocumented translation, too. Thinking about all the troubles there are dealing with different code pages I really do not need ISPF to get into the path emulating the ancient T-11 printer chain. BTW, did anyone recognize that the curly braces at x'C0' / x'D0' look different to those at x'8B' / x'9B' when terminal type is set to 3278T. The latter are slightly higher than the former. I'll stay with terminal type 3278 which does not translate anything above x'3F' from my experience. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

I've got the z/Architecture Reference Summary (SA22-7871-01) and

I probably leant out of the window too far this time; not my favourite subject, so I may well be choosing the wrong wording; I sure am not understanding all the nuts and bolts. Can you bear on last try? In TCP/IP based telnet, raw mode means that characters are send as they are typed. The application can respond to each and every key just when the user presses it. You cannot get into this mode when your (initial) session is a 3270based session. You always need to hit an action key in order to send data over the line. (I'd be happy to learn there is a way.)

Re: TN3270 *from* a host??
TSO TELNET is not a TN3270 client, it supoprts only line mode. If you telnet to the foreign host's TN3270 server listening port (23 usualkly) you'll be able to login into TSO line mode. ISPF would not work, since it requires full screen mode (afaik, I haven't tried in a while). If you telnet to the foreogn host's telnet daemon / inet daemon listening port (623 or 1023 are widely used), you'll be able to login into a z/OS UNIX shell. Note that this still is line mode over 3270, no raw mode. It behaves more like TSO OMVS than real telnet from another UNIX box (or WINDOW$ or Mac).

Re: z/OS v1.7 JES2: StcInRdr vs. IntRdr
IIRC, JES2 runs the number of INTRDR processors (tasks) specifien on the INTRDR init statement. Not sure what happens when more SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR) than INTRDR PCEs are trying to submit jobs. I guess that the OPEN will just wait for an INTRDR PCE to become available to handle the request. No matter, INTRDRs don't start the batch jobs (and it's only batch jobs, so STCINRDR is out of scope), they only write the JCL to the JES2 spool queueing then on the conversion queue. Some time later the conversion PCEs will pick up the JCLs and place the converted JCL onto the spool queueing the jobs on the execution queue. Again some time later, those jobs will eventually be picked by an initiator that *is already running* when using JES managed initiators. No new address spaces are being created. If using WLM managed initiators, WLM decides it more of them shall be started depending on current system load. We often have burst of batch jobs submitted from our scheduler when day end processing is scheduled on our test system. The execution queue has some 150+ jobs waiting to be executed but this does not slow down the system in any special manner. -- Peter Hunkeler CREDIT SUISSE -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
