Presentation to Students
Esteemed list, I have a non technical request for information. I have been asked to help create a 10 – 15 minute presentation for a talk to a group of IT students in the UK. I have some thoughts on what I would say given the brief below, but was wondering what others might cover: I would very much like someone representing GSE to present at the event about the GSE view of System z in the IT industry, importance of System z and large systems thinking. Has anyone ever seen a session like this before? Would you be willing to shed any thoughts, comments or even copies of slides we could crib for such a session?

GSE UK -- Re-Scheduled GSE Large Systems Meeting - 1st May 2012 - IBM Southbank
All, I am delighted to announce that the re-scedheuled Large Systems meeting will take place at IBM Southbank on the 1st May 2012. Full details can be found at: http://lsx.gse.org.uk/future.html I would like to thank IBM in particular Roger Fowler for all of his efforts in securing the venue and funding for the event. I fully understand that we are all busy in our work personal lives and getting to these events can be challenging at times. However, myself and Roger spend a lot of our own time organising these events and we were both particularly disappointed with the response to the last event, which ultimately led to it being cancelled. So with the above in mind I would like to solicit your feedback on: * Why did you not register for the last event? * What items would you like to see on future agenda's (Working Groups or Annual Conference)? * How many working group meetings should we have a year, outside of the Annual conference? * How would you feel about not having any working group meetings during the year and only meet at the annual conference? * Do you have any other relevant feedback for the LSG Team? * Would you supply an email address for any of your colleges who we can add to the distribution list for future meeting please? Based on your feedback I will make a decision on the benefits of holding future working group meetings and the contents of the agenda. Look forward to seeing some of you in Southbank.

We have all this stuff plus we have PEOPLECODE we should probably be managing/controlling and we have some custom software on AIX in a development/maintenance tool called ENVISION (for our Datatel/Colleague footprint). We could treat the vendor stuff as separate I figure if we have to. We have a lot of locally developed mainframe CICS and BATCH COBOL code with and without DB2. Plus CICS based webservice programs that create files on the USS side of the mainframe. We have DOC TEMPLATES, etc. also. And as mentioned, Peoplesoft HRMS (Oracle, non-mainframe) and Datatel/Colleague accounting system on AIX. So... I am not sure I care what platform the repository of all this stuff is located on, but whatever tool we get, it needs to handle a lot of different things. Mainframe, AIX, ORACLE, DB2, etc. etc. And hopefully, have one interface to manage check-in, check-out, and promotion to production processes. We have no check-in, check-out, promotion automation in place now on the mainframe side for our local COBOL/CICS/DB2 stuff. Not sure what is going on in Peoplesoft since it is not in production yet, still in development/roll-out. We are going to have to phase in whatever we get, but I would like to have one place for all this stuff to be. And start with a tool that has the potential to do it all. Maybe it is just too much to really expect of one tool. Thanks I advance for any suggestions on this.

UK Seminar on Software Hardware Pricing
Hi, Just wondering if anyone had to to any of the previous seminars? Was it worthwhile? Kind Regards, Mark Negotiating mainframe software and hardware contracts Arcati¹s annual seminar on mainframe pricing and contract negotiation takes place on 28th June 2010 at the Premier Inn Touchbase Centre, London Heathrow. As always, the principal speaker is Barry Graham, an internationally recognised authority on mainframe pricing issues. Working with Barry, users with as few as 600 MIPS and as much as 100,000 MIPS have signed contracts saving up to 30% of their expected spend. This year Barry will be joined by David Wilson, independent consultant and former IBM senior executive for System z Software in North East Europe, who will be focusing on what users should do to maximise the benefits of their current mainframe installations. Sessions at the seminar include: * Putting software costs in context * New pricing models and future costs * Negotiating an IBM ESSO or ELA contract * Maximising the benefit of mainframes * Hardware pricing update The programme covers pricing for all z10 Enterprise and Business Class systems, and also includes discussion of Passport Advantage, Processor Value Units, and their effect on software price/performance.

JES3
Hi, Bit of a JES3 question. Yesterday we had a developer who ended up submitting thousands of batch jobs through a looping CICS transaction. This ended up filling all our JES3 job numbers and eventually locking up JES3 on all the systems in our JESPLEX. I have been trying to think of preventative measures to stop this from happening again and haven¹t really been able to come up with anything to date. Would anyone know of a way to prevent this in the future apart from changing the developer :)..

TCPIP config on z/OS 1.7 ADCD
Hi, Ignoring the ³It¹s not supported² issues I have a problem with zOS 1.7 and TCPIP.. I need to re-build the image from a backup of our ADCD system on our z890 to perform a set of tests for a customer. I am having an issue configuring TCPIP and was looking for some words of wisdom. Our IP setup has changed this we last used this system and need to make some changes! I need to configure the IP stack as follows: HOME address of: 192.168.150.1 Default Gateway of: 192.168.150.254 Subnet mask of: 255.255.255.0 TCPIP starts fine and there are error messages. My initial question is do I need to configure the OMPROUTE STC? This system is for internal use only and the 192.168.150.1 IP address is a valid address on our network. I have configure the OSA ICC side of the OSA and that works fine. Subsequent questions are what would you expect to specify for the GATEWAY DEFAULTNET statements... As you can probably guess TCPIP is not one of my strong subjects Any other hints or tips would be gratefully appreciated..

PDSMAN Replacement
Hi, I have the task of removing CA-PDSMAN from two of our systems. We currently use the following functions: * PDSMAN Library Space Reuse facility * Dynamic BLDL Facility * Remote Data Compare I believe I can convert my PDS¹s to PDS/e¹s to negate the need for the Space Reuse facility. The Dynamic BLDL function causes me a little concern. I have inherited a situation where we have one massive load library that contains all batch online application programs. All batch jobs and online systems have either a JOBLIB or STEPLIB DD Statement that references this one library. Many years ago (well before my time) the techies turned off this PDSMAN feature and had very severe system performance issues for online and batch applications, resulting in this feature being re-enabled. I was think of splitting the library, perhaps by application to reduce the search time for none application code. The remote Data Compare is used in batch to compare PDS¹s on the QA Production systems. A checksum is generated for each PDS and then compared. If a difference is found a WTO is posted (picked up by automation) that triggers a check of the libraries. Does anyone have any experience of replacing these functions and have any ideas of how to replace and any advice on the process?

Re: Numeric TSO Userids
All, From the research I have done I agree with Walt in that it¹s a TSO restriction. If you logon (Full screen mode) and enter a numeric Userid you get the not valid message, press F1 and there is the message from TSO. Hence, my thinking I may be able to get at the field in a TSO EXIT and bypass the numeric check. The fact that ACF2 supports it means it can be done and from what I am seeing there are no issues with MVS commands, INTRDR, etc. Looks like I go back to the manuals to see if I can figure this out.

Interesting, Barry. RACF doesn't check, and fully supports numeric user IDs. It has to be a TSO/E restriction, and I'm pretty sure that the standard TSO/E logon command parsing (and full-screen validation) will reject a numeric user ID, so I always figured it was done with logon exits and/or replacement of the logon command when another security product does allow it. -- Walt Farrell, CISSP IBM STSM, z/OS Security Design ___ Mark Wilson Mobile: +44 (0) 7768 617006 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chairman GSE Large Systems Working Group.

Numeric TSO Userids
Hi, I am in the middle of migrating a customer from ACF2 to RACF and have encountered a problem. ACF2 supports the use of fully numeric TSO Userids. The customer has an exit in place that forces all dataset allocations to be prefixed with a Alpha character, getting around the dataset issues. However, if I migrate them to RACF, TSO does NOT support a fully numeric Userid. I know this is not supported by IBM, but does anyone have any ideas (TSO exit?), that I can use to support fully numeric TSO Userids. The customer does not what to change the RACF Userids to start with an alpha character for business/application reasons. Any help gratefully received.

New System Build
List, This question relates to migrating from a Flex server with no external tape or external disk to a new z9 + external DS6000 disk. We have no tape units installed on the z9 and zVM is not installed the flex box. We wish to migrate the zOS systems and data currently in use to the new z9 environment. For simplicity sake imagine it is a one pack zOS system we need to move; once we can ipl this we are in business to do more. How might you do this, our thinking went like: 1. Use new z/OS starter system - not possible since we have no external tape to restore it from 2. Connect new server to the existing disk or old server to the new disk systems - not possible, the old system has only internal disk and the new disk is FICON and cannot be connected to the old processor. So this leaves us with 3. Load and customise zVM via the z9 HMC using DVD's thus having a zVM and CMS environment and somehow dump the old system and FTP it across to the new zVM CMS system running on the z9 This is where the questions arise and looking for some help or ideas as to how to make this work or if not possible. We see the steps as: We believe we can build a Stand Alone (SA) DFDSS pgm in card image form (BUILDSA) on the old system and FTP this across to a CMS user. This user should be able to receive this card image as a CMS file and punch it to the virtual reader. We could then IPL from the reader on this zVM virtual machine This then creates a IPL'd SA DFDSS environment This last and final part is the bit we are struggling with. We can create a DFDSS full volume dump of the OnePak System to DISK and FTP it to the zVM/CMS system on the z9. What I am struggling with is how to get the as input to the DFDSS SA program from the zVM/CMS environment? Is this a complete non starter as a process OR if possible; how would it be done? Any details of the process and commands that should be used to achieve this would be well appreciated. Any help gratefully received.

New System Build (Part II)
All, Thanks for the suggestions regarding FlexCUB and MFNetDisk; but this does not answer my original question. If I have an IPL'd Stand Alone system running on the New z9 and zVM/CMS is installed; can I take a Full volume dump on zOS; ftp it to zVM/CMS; save the file and then use this file as input to the Stand Alone Restore process? If so how? When I ftp the sequential dataset to zVM/CMS that contains the DFDSS dump, I know that I use the FTP STRUCTURE keyword, do I need to consider any other parameters? What format should the file be on zVM/CMS? How do I point the Stand Alone Restore process at the file that (hopefully) now exists in zVM/CMS?

IPL VIPA Issues
Hi, We had a major incident at the weekend on one of our LPARS. After the normal scheduled re-IPL of the LPAR we could not connect using the VIPA, but could use the physical addresses that relate to the OSA ports. Reloading the TCP/IP stack didn't fix the problem and eventually we had to close TCP/IP and inactivate the SNA major nodes (that use the OSA) to enable the OSA chps to be varied OFF/ON. This fixed the problem. We have no indication of any error - either in the syslog or TCPIP stc and there were no hardware errors on the HMC. I've searched IBM's database, but without any real info to go on, this has not provided any clues. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Hi, I am in the process of migrating from a PC Server 500 to a flex laptop. The system runs VM; VSE OS/390 (all versions very much unsupported).

UK GSE Conference, Stratford ------ Storage Stream Added ------ 4th 5th October 2005 - UPDATED Storage Stream Agenda
This year's annual GSE conference, which includes streams on Large Systems, Enterprise Security, Websphere MQ, IMS, DB2, CICS, Network Management and Software Asset Management as well as several hands-on master classes, will take place on Tuesday 4th Wednesday 5th October 2005 at the Stratford upon Avon Moat House Hotel in the UK. The organising committee is pleased to announce the addition of a Storage Management stream to the agenda. Full conference details of the conference can be found at: http://www.gse.org.uk/tyc/ http://www.gse.org.uk/tyc/ The Storage Management stream agenda is as follows: Session Title Abstract Speaker JB The IBM TotalStorage Strategy This session is an overview of IBM storage solutions for Infrastructure Simplification, Business Continuity, and Information LifeCycle Management. The primary emphasis is on zOS environments, but solutions for environments of heterogeneous platforms will be included. Topics include storage consolidation, storage virtualization, automated management, high-availability, disaster recovery, and information lifecycle management. Jeff Barckley JC IBM DS8000 Overview The DS8000 family provides enterprise class feature and function in the highest performance storage system available in the world today. With a pSeries heart, the DS8000 is able to take advantage of the performance and expandability of the Power5 engine. The utilization of the Power5 LPAR capability opens up an entire new sphere of functions for a storage controller. The DS8000 can attach to all IBM eServers as well as most competitive systems. This session will cover the technology, capabilities and features and functions of this enterprise class storage system. Curtis Neal JD Tape Market Update, and Preview of New IBM Tape Announcements The Tape market continues to grow, and the latest market share numbers from IDC show IBM as the industry leader. This presentation will review the IBM tape product portfolio behind this success, and update you on this year's announcements so far: LTO3, dual robotics and zOS/VTS support for the IBM 3584 Ultrascalable Library, and improved Virtual Tape Server functionality. It will also preview the exciting IBM tape announcements planned for 4Q 2005, which include the next generation IBM 3592 Enterprise Tape Drive, and Virtual Tape for Open Systems. Peter McNamara JE Enhance the Value of your Virtual Tape Library with Productivity and Disaster Recovery Procedures This presentation covers utilities that eliminate 'recall wait delays' for production jobs that need datasets migrated to back end tapes of Virtual Tape Libraries (VTL). Also covered are disaster recovery utilities that allow users to maximize their return on investment in their VTL. Virtual Data Recovery allows users to direct vault bound tape data into the VTL and then automatically creates duplicate copies and stacks them on native high density cartridges which reduce the number of native tape drives and media for DR. Also discussed are solutions to reduce vaulted media for full volume and incremental backups for disaster recovery. Michael Weintraub of Open Tech Systems JF Managing Storage with the IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center (TPC) Management of traditional and virtualized Storage environments has become an extremely complex task.

Converting MIM to GRS
Hi, I have been given a project to migrate one of our customers systems from MIM to GRS. I have a good understanding of both MIM and GRS both have never actually done a migration before. Would anyone have any useful information (presentations, hints tips) when considering a migration.

Migration to RMM from Zara
Hi, I am in the process of migrating a system from Zara to DFSMSrmm on a zOS 1.4 system. I have a question re HSM and ARCTVEXT. We are currently running the Zara version of ARCTVEXT and understand that when we go to RMM in Production I will no longer need the exit as the interface is now handled by the EDGTVEXT interface. What I need to understand is what do I do whilst I am running Zara RMM in parallel? Do I need a: * ARCTVEXT router exit to call the Zara ARCTVEXT and then RMM ARCTEVEXT; if required I would only need the RMM version whilst in parallel? * Just the Zara ARCTVEXT and RMM will be updated via the EDGTVEXT interface? * Or something completely different? Any help gratefully received. Kind Regards Mark Wilson Mobile: +44 (0) 7768 617006 This year's annual GSE conference will take place on Tuesday 4th Wednesday 5th October 2005.

RMM HSM Question
Hello listers, I have the following software stack: z/OS 1.4 DFSMS/hsm DFSMS/rmm We currently use HSM to do full incremental volume backups on a daily basis. We are looking at changing some of our hardware with a view to exploiting 3592's. Can I automatically (I can do most of the application stuff with JCL) stack cartridges to a near full capacity using DFSMS/rmm and or HSM. Is this possible? If so how?
