Re: Exclusive ENQ on dataset owned (SHR) by Started Task?
Dave, At R1.13 z/OS you can use the DEL 'MYDSN(member)' in rexx. Also note, the member can contain a mask so if you wanted to delete all members that being with A you can issue DEL 'MYDSN(A*)' and it should remove all the members that being with A. If you allocate MYDSN with SHR REUSE in your REXX I would think you could delete members. I have not tried this. Or, if you have not done so, you can join the TSO-REXX newsgroup and query there. I am thinking that the ISPF LM services may be your friend in this case. Lizette Group, We are running z/OS V1R13 and a product called VPS. I wrote some code to ADD, UPDATE and DELETE members of a PDS. It worked fine until VPS came up. I see that the VPS started task OWNS SHR the dataset.

Re: JES/2 Proc SYSIN Concat Error??
Chip, I replicated your process and had the following ERROR message in my JES MSG LOG from z/OS V1.12 IEF694I DDNAME REFERENCE TO DD CONCATENATION REFERS ONLY TO FIRST DD Explanation: THE JCL DDNAME keyword has been used to refer to a DD concatenation. When the object of a DDNAME reference is a concatenation of multiple DDs, only the first DD in the concatenation is actually referenced. System Action: The system issues message IEF677I and continues processing the job. The first DD in the referenced concatenation is associated with the referencing DD. The remaining (unlabeled) DDs in the referenced concatenation are concatenated to the labeled DD immediately preceding the concatenation. User Response: If the DDNAME reference was intended to refer to the entire concatenation, move the concatenated DDs to follow the referencing DD rather than the referenced DD. This will ensure that the concatenation is correctly defined to the system. So you need to have your input last. Lizette I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this phenomenon.

I have tried turning off message for that section of the code MSG('OFF')
Any yet it keeps getting produced so the user has to keep hitting enter
until they are cleared.
This message can be overwhelming if my user requests 100's of datasets that
do not have an MCDS entry.

I get error DATASET not Found. I think, I am getting this error because that particular datset is not part of current master catalog. But if Still I want to delete the data component I created, Can you please help to perform this task. Regards Saurabh Some questions 1) Is the catalog where this SYS1.SMS.SCDS is cataloged a USER CAT on the system you are trying to do the display? 2) Is the system where the SYS1.SMS.SCDS is cataloged - up or able to be IPL'D? If you have system up with MCATA and MCATB is a usercat in MCATA then you may be able to delete the dataset with the CATALOG parm in IDCAMS DEL. If you can bring up the system where MCATB is the Master Cat then you can do the changes from the running system IIRC SETSMS command can point SMS to different SCDS or ACDS datasets. So if you have a running system that you can logon, then you can fix from that system. Or could you create a new SYS1.SMS2.SCDS dataset to the correct MCAT and then update the SYS1.PARMLIB member to point to the new SCDS dataset and IPL?

Re: Anyone using MASH (Multiple Address Space HSM)
Mark, From the IBM Presentations the biggest boost would be that one HSM address space (HSMA) is the main that runs only RECALLS. Then an aux (HSMB) could run PSM or SSM, then another aux could run DUMP/BACKUP. Then each HSM could be in a different WLM class. This could offload the work as well as the priority processing. The three HSM address spaces (HSMA, HSMB and HSMC) all share the xCDS, Journal, and CRQ. They have separate PDA and LOGs Other than memory, system resources, it appears this might be an acceptable setup if you are having issues with recalls, or want to separate out the functions of HSM under different WLM classes. Some documentation is found in Glen Wilcox's HSM presentation from Share. Also in the DFHSM Primer. I am working on a conversion doc that IBM is helping with.

Re: 1.12 1.13 JES2 toleration PTF APPLY problem
Hi I have received the UA59435 JES2 toleration PTF , but for the APPLY check I got GIM37903E ** APPLY PROCESSING FAILED FOR SYSMOD UA59435 BECAUSE IT HAS NO APPLICABLE ++VER MCS. Maybe somebody has seen this ? Typically this means that version of the software (JES2 in this case) is not in the zone. The PTF UA59435 only applies to the following * USERS AFFECTED: All users of HJE7750, HJE7760, and HJE7770 * * who plan to run an HJE7780 version of JES2 * * in the same MAS If one of these FMIDs is not in your target zone then it is you probably do not need to install this fix. If you want this particular fix, then you need to find the correct version of this ptf for your level of JES2. Can you search IBMLINK to see which version would apply to your system? If the fix is for different versions of JES2 then there will be different versions of the same PTF. You just need to find the one that matches your environment. If you do not find a PTF for your version of JES2 then you either cannot install this type of fix/toleration or it is not needed.

How to limit HRECALLs by USER request
I have not seen a good answer on this, so I thought I would throw this out. We have on occasion users submit 1000's of recalls at one time. They use a variety of processes from TSO Batch HRECALL to a REXX process. Of course this can impact other users who are looking to just get one or two datasets back. Other than writing an exit, is there any simple approach to prevent user's from submitting more than X recalls at one time? Or a way to ensure that any recalls submitted are grouped together by migration tape? For example, if I submit 100 recalls that will actually need 40 different migration tapes. Is there any way to get DFHSM to force the recalls to be done by migration volume rather than FIFO? We are z/OS V1.12 and are using CRQ processing in DFHSM. thanks for any insights Lizette -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Implementing HSM exits to place data in Unix/HFS files is also possible. Your question was reading HSM data in a server environment. So if you could provide more details on what your requirements are, we can come up with other solutions. Information that would be helpful are 1) Time frame to move data to server? 2) Efforts involved? Do you have a large staff, small staff? Do you have time to write exits for HSM and redirect the HSM data? 3) Is the 40 TB all of the data or is the information you need to place on the server a smaller number? 4) Will you have a dedicated server for your mainframe storage?

Re: Error Message ARC0744E MCDS COULD NOT BE BACKED UP, RC=0036
George,
Did anyone suggest the tech doc?
ARC0744E RC36 RSN0 During CDS Backup to DASD
Technote (FAQ)
This problem can occur if there was a problem with the creation of a CDSBU
version, or if CDSBU is going to DASD and the earliest backup version
couldn't be located because the MHCR record is deleted or out of sync.
Answer
CDS BACKUP to DASD relies on locating the oldest CDS backup copy and using
this copy to write the newly created CDS BACKUP copy into it. The ARC0744E
RC36 RSN0 scenario usually involves HSM not being able to locate or use the
oldest CDS BACKUP copy data set.
Users will need to verify the LAST FINAL QUALIFIER and BACKUP VERSIONS KEPT
via HSEND QUERY CDSV. As an example, a user keeps 4 versions and the last
final qualifier is 10, there should be CDS backup versions 007, 008,
009, and 010 cataloged. This can be verified in ISPF 3.4 by doing a
list for the CDSBACKUP dataset names.
If any of the above required versions are not present, users will need to
allocate those datasets with the same DCB attributes of an existing version
and then run CDS backup again. This condition sometimes
occurs when a customer increases the number of CDS backup copies but fails
to pre-allocate the additional CDS backup copy datasets. EXAMPLE: Customer
is currently saving 4 CDS backup copies and currently has versions 007
through 010. Customer increases CDS backup copies to 5 but fails to
allocate the additional CDS backup copy dataset. The next time CDS backup
runs, HSM will attempt to find version
006 to write the newly created backup copy into, but will fail to find
it and will generate the ARC0744E.
The customer needs to preallocate the additional CDS backup copy dataset
with the version number of
006.
Still using the above example, if the user currently has backup versions
0007 - 0010 but the LAST FINAL QUALIFIER from the QUERY CDSV command
is shows 000, then the MHCR needs to be patched to correctly refelect
the latest CDSV backup version. To do this, issue the following patch:
HSEND FIXCDS S MHCR PATCH(X'B1' nnn)
where nnn is the correct last final qualifier of the cataloged CDSBACKUP
datasets. Don't include the preceding alpha character ('V', 'D', or 'X').
If the user's condition is not listed above, keep in mind the objective is
to get the correct sequential number of cataloged backup versions allocated
and listed based on what the current final qualifier is and the number of
version of kept. If there is an Xnnn version listed then this is simply
an indication that CDS BACKUP failed for that version. HSM will still
recognize this version and write over it once the problem is corrected and
CDS BACKUP is run again.

Re: Trying to capture JES2 Job Log
I'm attempting to save started task output in our output management database. We use EOS. I changed the JOBCLASS(STC) MSGCLASS to the class EOS uses and I get the JESJCL and JESYSMSG files and that's all. Any clues what else I might need to alter to capture the JESMSGLG file? You need to have your MSGCLASS and SYSOUT Class go to the same place. Are they both coded the same? I typically see the following JESMSGLG JES2 This is the JOBLOG JESJCL JES2 This the JCL with substitutions JESYSMSG JES2 This is each step statistics (datasets, ucb, etc...) If you set MSGCLASS=X, all three should go to output class X unless you have exits. Or do you have a JOBCARD added to your STC that uses a different MSGCLASS? Is the STC being started with a MSGCLASS other than what you want?

Re: VTAMLST - Who needs to read it
Chris, I have reviewed my JCL for TPX and it has an allocation for the SYS1.VTAMLST in it. How or why it is in the STC JCL, I am unclear. But thanks for checking further. Lizette Lizette After posting I realised that I had an example - other than VTAM - of a program which needs to read members of VTAMLST partitioned data sets. This is the NetView STATMON component pre-processor program. Just as VTAM has its ATCCONxx member which provides the names of members as dreamed up by the responsible system programmer so the NetView STATMON component pre-processor program has its CNMCONxx member providing a similar service. Knowing that proposing that a program might need access to VTAMLST based on a vague feeling that it sort-of might was just wrong, I was forced to realise that knowing the member names was the key. The NetView STATMON component pre-processor program is the proof! Thus, if a program requires that you provide it with a list of member names, you can safely say that it requires access to VTAMLST partitioned data sets.

Re: A stupid idea? Using twitter like service for z/SO, et al., event notification.
I'll admit that my mind is not running quite right today. But something that is bouncing around is notification of events happening on servers, especially z/OS. Would it be helpful, or stupid, to set up a twitter type, secured, server. Then have the appropriate people from work, who have smartphones or even PCs, be able to follow specific topics, which may be things such as individual server names, or z/OS product job status, or abended jobs. Or are some companies doing something similar using SMS? We use SMS messages via CA-Unicenter for monitoring CA-Unicenter tickets assigned to our group. But we cannot individually decide if we would like more. And we don't generate tickets for things like production job completed successfully on 2012-03-10 at 13:58 or Event ... has not completed successfully yet. On weekends, we are totally dark and the on-call Production Support person must periodically logon to z/OS in order to check statuses. I thought it migh! t! be easier if they got tweets about things. Of course, for all I know, this may be impossible due to software patents. Of course there could be other software to do this. Things like CA Spectrum, eHealth, OPS/MVS, and Automation point, could possible handle this type of request, if set up.

Re: IKT100I USERID CANCELED immediately after TN3270 connection fail
Since the posting included the use of PCOMM (if I recall) then perhaps there are some settings in PCOMM that might reduce the Likelihood of cancelling the tso id. Connection Timeout This value specifies the number of seconds that Personal Communications should wait for a connection to the host. The default value is 6 seconds. The allowed range of values is 1 through 600 seconds. Or perhaps Auto-reconnect If the session is disconnected from the host, and if this box is checked, you will be reconnected automatically. The default is not checked. Note: When the SLP option is enabled, using auto-reconnect causes a search for available SLP servers. If such a server is found, auto-reconnect will attempt to connect to that server. If the connection attempt is not successful, auto-reconnect will attempt to connect to another SLP server, if additional servers are found. I am not sure if these will help the IKT100I issues and cancelling of the TSO session or not. Lizette Networks have failures. On some networks they occur more frequently than others. It's just a fact of life. Some network support organizations are more helpful than others in resolving the cause of these failures. That too is a fact of life.

Re: User datasets wrongly catalogued under Master Catalogue
Hi, Recently We have installed a new system Z/OS 1.13. During migration the Users datasets were restored and unfortunately all the user datasets are catalogued under Master catalogue.

I am just trying to understand if it is possible to move all the users dataset catalogued under master catalogue to a user catalogue since the Number of datasets are in big number. Jake If the datasets are not migrated, then you can use DFDSS to dump/delete, create the alias, restore the files with CATALOG. If they are migrated, then recall them, DFDSS dump/delete, create the alias, restore with CATALOG option. If they are migrated and you cannot recall them, then keep the list of migrated files, and recover them with DFHSM after you correct the alias. I do not think you can do a repromergcat if the alias does not already exist. This should work. I have used this technique in the past.

You can see I have nothing specified in col 10-11 on SYSPARM statement, therefore that defaults to 00. During system initialization, NIP first processes the IEASYS00 parmlib member to establish parameters. Then it determines, from the suffixes specified on the SYSPARM statement in LOADxx, the SYSPARM parameter in IEASYMxx, or by the operator, which IEASYSxx members are to be used. See Step 2. Determine where to specify system parameters in topic 2.3.2 for a description of how the system determines which IEASYSxx members are to be used. From there I go to SYS1.MYCOMP.PARMLIB and pick up IEASYS00. Since I have multiple PARMLIBs specified, it will seach them to find the first occurrence of IEASYS00. I then go to the PROG section in Mark's IPLINFO and see that I have coded: PROG=(AP,01,H8,02),IEASYS00 This matches my coding in IEASYS00 PROG=(AP,01,SYSCLONE,02),APF AND LNKLST ACTIVATION Does this help? Depending on how your LOAD data is coded, is how the system will load your values. 1) Identify your LOADxx member in your IPL Parms (SYSx.IPLPARM typically) 2) Identify you IEASYSxx in the LOADxx member ( there may be a SYSPARM xx specified in your load deck) 3) Go to that IEASYSxx member in your PARMLIB dataset. 4) See how the PROGxx entry is coded Get IPLINFO and analysis is a little easier.

I want to see the logic here. BTW, these are sms-managed volumes. First look at the ADR477E message. There are actually 3 reasons why it could happen. An error was encountered processing a VVR.

There be insufficient storage for internal processing. Messages ADR008E, ADR018I, or ADR376E precede this message. Looking at your DFDSS output I did not see any of the targeted messages. However, this seems to be a huge file ADR788I (001)-TDUNL(01), PROCESSING COMPLETED FOR CLUSTER PNGG00.IT3PCK.CSDITB.D0.KS250, 16552872 RECORD(S) PROCESSED So you need to 1) make sure there is sufficient space in the SMS Pool 2) make sure the VVDS and VTOC are large enough for the volumes in your pool I am curious as to why you focused on this one volume and the VVDS. I did not see any error messages targeting that volume or a vvds issue. IIRC - VVDS is done with a DEFINE command so should be cataloged. However, if there are a dasd moves or renames (volumes clipped), that might be some of the issue. Go to Option 3.4 in ISPF and just list the contents of the volume. Also do a VTOC list with 3.4. Or use ISMF to review the information about the volume and VTOC, VVDS and VTOCIX sizes. See if the volume APBPC7 has a large enough VVDS and that the VVDS exists on the volume. If so, you may need to recatalog or recover the VVDS After recovery, a BCS might not contain entries for all the VVDSs on volumes where the BCS has data sets. In this case, you might want to recatalog the VVDS so that the BCS contains entries for all connected VVDSs. If you want to recreate the BCS entry for a VVDS, use the access method services DEFINE CLUSTER command with the RECATALOG option. Specify the name, volume of the VVDS, and NONINDEXED. The BCS entry is rebuilt using information in the VVDS and the command. A VTOC entry for the VVDS must also exist. Before recovering a VVDS, decide if the VVDS is systematically damaged, or if only certain entries in the VVDS are damaged. If you cannot open the VVDS, for example, when you try to print it or access data sets

I prefer to do the DEFINE VVDS after I init a volume. That way I control the size of the file.

Re: JES2 OFFLOAD - requesting help, ideas, etc.
Hello IBM-MAIN people, We recently have installed a new IBM Tape Library (without a VTS) to replace a very old STK Silo; so we are migrating our tape usage from 3490's to 3590's - about a hundred-fold increase increase in capacity per cartridge (and will have many fewer cartridges!)! This change in technology has forced us to change all of our tape jobs - in some cases, like backups, it is very straight forward (take 40 odd jobs, create one job that stacks all of backups onto a single tape); some jobs/processes are not so easy! One of our difficult processes is the JES2 OFFLOAD. Every weekday night (at 18:30) we start the offload of production output to tape (with PURGE). Before the new tape library, this would take less than a full 3490 cartridge (and it still takes less than a full 3590 cartridge - a very small fraction of a cartridge and a lot of waste). From my reading of the JES2 commands, it seems that JES2 OFFLOAD can not deal with file sequence numbers (more than one file per tape). Currently, we keep the offload on tape for 60 days. I would like to get some feedback from others on the list as to what they do for JES2 OFFLOAD. Is anyone using the OFFS= parameters in commands, and how (I would like to see command sequences). One of the questions I have is, can JES2 append to an existing OFFLOAD tape? I would like to be able to mount the same tape for month (roughly 20 working days). I know that as job numbers roll over to 1 I might get into the slim possiblity of JOBNUM/JOBNAME conflicts on restoring the output. In my shop we use an External Writer to do this. We have a process that we can run against the tape to extract the jobs back off into SYSPRINT. Not sure if this is something you want to look at or not There is on the CBTTAPE.ORG File 575 to combine Offloaded files 358 SYSOUT Archive process (Eric Biefield) 790 Sysout Retrieval Services These might be worth looking at.

Re: Batch process VS Started task
Hi list. We have a daily betch job that is processing as input records which has been collected all day. volume of records is about 5 millions for 24 hours. In order to make systems more online we are looking for a way to run the process for each record all day long instead of a daily run, and doing so with minimum as possible application changes. One idea that came up is to convert the process to a self developed STC which will be triggered by a record on an MQ queue and will run as STC all the batch process programs To me it seems like a bad idea because having a self developed STC in production create a maintenance gap (and where there is one STC a second one will soon to follow...)... Are there other advantages / dis-advantages regarding a self developed STC ? Are there any self developed STC's at your shop? Any other ideas on how to approach this issue? Thanks in advanced. Magen Perhaps you could review the BATCH PIPES process in z/OS or if you have MQ, perhaps that could support what you need. Other options could be IMS solution MQ solution CICS solution DB2 Solution We currently have a need to send out orders when a DB2 table is updated. To do this we use our CA-ESP Scheduling software to monitor the DB2 table, when there is a row change, it triggers the process to action the order. If there were some more details on your problem, we might be able to come up with more specific answers?

Re: zSeries Manpower Sizing
tyvm, Timothy, for your expert analysis. Please pardon my ignorance, but what is a PCI? PCI has to do with Payments for Credit Cards and their security. The PCI Security Standards Council offers robust and comprehensive standards and supporting materials to enhance payment card data security. These materials include a framework of specifications, tools, measurements and support resources to help organizations ensure the safe handling of cardholder information at every step. The keystone is the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which provides an actionable framework for developing a robust payment card data security process -- including prevention, detection and appropriate reaction to security incidents. For device vendors and manufacturers, the Council provides the PIN Transaction Security (PTS) requirements, which contains a single set of requirements for all personal identification number (PIN) terminals, including POS devices, encrypting PIN pads and unattended payment terminals. A list of approved PIN transaction devices can be accessed here. To help software vendors and others develop secure payment applications, the Council maintains the Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) and a list of Validated Payment Applications. The Council also provides training to professional firms and individuals so that they can assist organizations with their compliance efforts. The Council maintains public resources such as lists of Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs), Payment Application Qualified Security Assessors (PA-QSAs), and Approved Scanning Vendors (ASVs). Large firms seeking to educate their employees can take advantage of the Internal Security Assessor (ISA) education program.

But, this is precisely what SMS and DATACLAS are for. It does accomplish, for the most part, SPACE=ANY. Not fully using SMS is so 80s' If so, do You really see everyone that creates and submits JCLs to create/change DATACLAS/STORCLAS instead of editing the SPACE= parms ? Or do You envision DATACLAS/STORCLAS's with very generous SPACE allocations (for every allocation) ? Regards, Thomas Berg So the question becomes where to define space? The system cannot think like a human. It usually needs a place to start. So IBM provided some solutions. The LIKE parm in JCL The SMS DataClas functions The JCL SPACE parm I think it was amazing that IBM was able to eliminate the need for DCB=(x) and just let us use the subparms. For SPACE you are looking at old code that needs to be altered in CONVERTER, JES, ALLOCATION, IOS and probably more. It is old code and not likely to change in our lifetimes. I am also sure that if the developers in the 60's and 70's had any clue where computing was going, they might have thought harder on their designs. Remember when this was evolving we had restrictions that needed to be spelled out to the operating system. Therefore, this process (Space Allocation) needed to be definitely set. Remember, this came to us from MFT, MVT, SVS, and then MVS. And developers had to know what they were using and conserve the space usage. Everything was expensive back then. Instead maybe you need to look at a homegrown process that generates your JCL using META Data. Then if you have space problems, you can adapt your META Data or use products like SRS (DTS Software) or BMC Mainview SRM to monitor and dynamically grow or shrink a file as needed. Wait - we are back to your issue. Having to monitor and change something for space issues. That is where products like SRS and SRM are helpful. They monitor your system and if a space issue is about to happen, dynamically change the data allocations on the fly. Remember the old STOPX37? But, you also have issues because now you need to monitor the monitors and adjust them as space issues arise. Seems to me to be an infinite loop. Not one with a solution with today's tools. The issue of space is one of limitation of DASD space. If you have infinite storage, then over allocate everything in a Dataclass and not worry. If you have a constricted dasd environment, then keeping tight allocations will lead to space issues. So what do you want to manage - JCL or SMS code? Most shops review their allocations periodically and adjust their process. Either through SMS Dataclas or JCL. I know most shop would love to have a human thinking universe, however the computer is still fairly rudimentary. No Star Trek environment yet. ;-D If you truly want to see this type of issue resolved, then perhaps a SHARE requirement or Change request to IBM would be more effective? Just my $0.02 worth.

Re: Archaic allocation in JCL (Was: Physical record size query)
I can't understand why we STILL need to specify SPACE= (etc) for an allocation of a dataset. You normally don't do that in other OS (platforms), You always (both principally and in practice) want to allocate as much as is needed during execution If for backward compatibility it can't be done automatically, why not introduce a new keyword like e g SPACE=ANY ? Thomas, IIRC - if you force a DATACLAS on a dataset in SMS, you can specify the Space requirements there. Then the JCL does not require Space. Have you looked at that? However, then that makes your storage admin responsible for ensuring the space is enough. And if needed alter the dataclass if there are space issues. And it would require all such datasets be SMS managed. Lizette -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: Abend S0C4 in an internal sort
I can't get my head around this one, I'm 100% sure the answer is starring at me but I just don't see it. I'm writing an assembler program that invokes SORT using LINK. There are E15 and E35 exits to handle records going in and out of the sort, but it keeps abending with S0C4 and sometimes S0C1, depending on whether the exit routines are half or fullword aligned :( To eliminate other possible causes I created the following very simple program where the E15 exit returns RC=16 to tell SORT just to terminate without doing anything. But it also abends in the same way. The PSW seems to point at an unrelated ISPF module in the LPA, but I haven't investigated that further. This is the code: TEST60 CSECT TEST60 AMODE 31 TEST60 RMODE ANY SAVE (14,12) LR12,15 USING TEST60,12 LA11,SAVEAREA ST11,8(,13) ST13,4(,11) LR13,11 LA1,SORTPARM LINK EP=SORT L 13,4(,13) ST15,16(,13) LM14,12,12(13) BR14 DS0F SAVEAREA DS18F SORTPARM DCA(SORTSTMT) DCA(E15_EXIT) DCA(E35_EXIT) DCF'-1' SORTSTMT DCAL2(SORTEND-SORT) SORT DCC' SORT FIELDS=(1,1,CH,A)' DCC' RECORD TYPE=F,LENGTH=80' SORTEND EQU * E15_EXIT DS0F LA15,16Terminate SORT BR14 E35_EXIT DS0F LA15,8 BR14 END TEST60 It can't be more simple than this, like any piece of Hello World code. I've tried linkedit as either RENT or NORENT, same result. The sort program produces diagnostic messages on SYSOUT as expected, so it gets called OK. So, who is the first to spot the obvious flaw that I can't see? Thanks for helping out. Staffan Is the load module in an APF authorized library? Also, as others have pointed out, the Regs and PSW summary dump would be very helpful.

Re: Question on Job Scheduling
I have a meeting with a customer next week to talk about z/OS batch job scheduling. They claim to have about 20 scheduling employees. In my past experience, that seems about 4x too high. So I thought I'd ask the group the following question: How many job schedulers do you have, and how many MIPS is the environment? I promise not to reveal where I got any of this information from, I only want the statistics. Thanks, Dan Gillis System z Client Architect, IBM I think it depends on the complexity of the schedule. How many request jobs vs. scheduled jobs. Type of scheduling software (home grown, CA ESP, CA Scheduler, IBM Tivoli, etc) And whether or not you include distributed scheduling in the mix. We have 3 schedulers running about 5000 jobs a day in CA-ESP both mainframe (1 plex) and distributed. The schedules are simple. The calender is simple. We are small. In a previous life I worked in a shop with 15 Sysplexes and about 100 schedulers. for Mainframe Only. With very complex schedules. Very little adhoc.

Inventory the back end tapes of a VTS
I was wondering if there was a way to identify what files/datasets are on a back end tape in a VTS B20 3494? I think there might be a panel on the specialist B20 but not sure. I am going through the manuals now but just not seeing it. I am hoping to get a listing into a file on the mainframe for review. So any tool or tricks to do that will be helpful. I are researching moving to different media for the back end and was looking at doing an inventory of back end to see what we would need to accommodate. And I do need it at the file level (basically HLQ) and length of time the file has been there. Probably want to look at cleanup if possible.

Re: Acceptable paging
Can someone please help me determine what the 'acceptable paging' should be on a system? We are having issues with MQ and broker. Thanks. Could you describe your environment a little? CPU(s) (z10, z9 , etc) Amount of dasd space allocated to Page Datasets? Number of Page Datasets Real Memory available Number of MQ and Brokers? Connection types (IMS, CICS, Distributed systems) Many elements can play into tuning a system. This will help in answering the question. Now, when you ask about acceptable paging in relationship to MQ, is anything else in play? CICS, IMS, DB2, heavy batch, etc. or is MQ the only thing running on that system? Or perhaps I misunderstood your acceptable paging in relationship to MQ.

CA LMP Key Validation
Has anyone written a tool that could help in reoncilling all of my CA Keys. For example I have 2 Physical Boxes. Running 6 Lpars. However, CA Keys do not seem to match. I need a pair of keys, one for each box. So rather than doing IEIBALL, is there any tool that would help me validate the Prod_Key, CPU I can write a Rexx but thought if someone had something to share, that would be great.

Re: Mainframe Testing
As others have pointed out - there are many. Perhaps you can tell us what you want to test? Or how this information is to be used? Is this COBOL, JAVA, CICS, IMS, DB2, MQ, ASSEMBLER, PL/1, etc that will be tested? Do you need interactive testing or batch? Also what software vendors do you have for testing. For example there is Xpediter by Compuware. Is it for load testing, regression testing, SDLC, ITIL,? Do you use a change control package like Endevor or Changeman? Will the testing be done between distributed and mainframe systems or just mainframe? As you can see all of these areas have tools for testing. It just depends on where you want to go. The more information you can provide, the better the answers we can come up with. ;-) Lizette Hi Friends, Can anybody tell me about Mainframe testing, what are the tools are used for Mainframe system testing -- *Mohd Rizwan -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: Simple iinventory control products?
I am being asked if there are relatively simple source-and-JCL inventory control products available for z/OS. I found one myself (XREF product at dcmsi.com), but management wants to know if any other software vendors provide such a product. We're not interested at the moment in full life cycle management products like Endeavor or ChangeMan. We just need a simple inventory control product that could answer interactive queries (E.G., What JCL uses this file? Where is this program used?) by programmers and technical support staff. TIA for any product or company names or links you can provide. Peter -- If it has not been offered, SEA (Software Engineers of America) has a suite of products including !JCLPLUS. They have a suite to do what you are looking for. Lizette -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: z/OS compiling COBOL/CICS pgms
Hello, Questions again please! On Dallas VIC z/OS R13 I need to: - compile/link a COBOL/CICS pgm, VSAM KSDS (no DB2) - compile/link a COBOL/CICS/DB2 pgm From google/docs I tried COBMCIC4 for a non DB2 and DB2CICSC for a DB2 pgms but both procs were not found. Did a COBMCIC 'srchfor' against the DFH420 HLQ(?) .. produced nothing. .. e.g. the non DB2 compile JCL was .. //CMPP01 JOB (CONRAD-A),'GH', // CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=0,MSGLEVEL=(1,1) //PROCLIB JCLLIB ORDER=DFH420.CICS.SDFHPROC //COMPILEC EXEC COBMCIC4 //TRN.SYSIN DD DSN=IBMUSE1.MFSY(MFSYP01),DISP=SHR= IP PGM //COB.SYSLIB DD DSN=IBMUSE1.MFSY,DISP=SHR =COPY LIBRARY /* //LKED.SYSLMOD DD DSN=VENDOR.LINKLIB.SECOND(MFSYP01),DISP=SHR =LOADLIB // So what/where are the relevant procs? Greedy but better still .. real live JCL:-)! Solution should not include making any changes to the procs. As always, TIA Graham Hobbs .. am about to start my CICS 4.2 for the first time for years .. can't remember how to logoff, shut down or both .. could somebody please remind me? Graham, Depending on the version of Cobol you are using - the precompiler, IIRC, should be built in. So a normal IGY complier proc might work. Next, VSAM vs. DB2 only means precompile or regular compile. The DB2 would create DBRM out of the compiled Cobol program. This is documented in the DB2 Programmer manuals. Next, as for CICS, check out the CESN, CESF, and CEMT commands. Again documented in the CICS manuals. One big watch out - you do need a CLEAR SCREEN Key on your keyboard. Make sure one is mapped on your keyboard. If you Google CICS DB2 COMPILE you should find lots of good examples. Like this link: http://www.mainframegurukul.com/tutorials/database/db2_tutorials/sample-db2- cobol-compile-jcl.html Or at IBM this link will describe the process: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dzichelp/v2r2/index.jsp?topic=%2Fco m.ibm.db2.doc.apsg%2Fqchp8b.htm Good luck.

Re: Finding 'empty' GDG's
Another thought would be REXX LISTDSI. Might be easier. By using the
gdgbase(0) it should tell you if there is one GDG out there.
Lizette
Hi,
Does anyone know of a simple way to find GDG's that have no GDS's
attached?
Thanks
Gadi
I could use
LISTC ENT('gdgbase') GDG
Or
Use something like a TSO ALLOCATE for a 0 gen and see what it returns? (I
have not
tried this) If zero rc then you have entries. If greater than zero then
no entries
then check the output for the ASSOCIATION entries. If there were none,
then it
would be empty.
I usually do this in a REXX then it is easier to extract the data I might
want.
Possibly the Catalog Search Interface could also be helpful.
