Re: different tape media for ML2 copies in HSM
For the disaster situation, VDR would be updating HSM to correct the volser and label information. It's a can process they do, so you just need the time for it to run.

The dsn was used by a STC however for some unexplainable reason it disappeared. In the STC the dsn is DISP=SHR. I checked all the SMF records -TYPE 17, 18, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 67, 68, 136, 138 139- but there is no record of it having been deleted. My suspicion is HSM. I checked the ACTIVITY logs for 2 weeks however there is no trace of the dsn being deleted i.e. ACTION=DELETED or ACTION=SCRATCH or ACTON=EXPIRED. According to the MANAGEMENT CLASS which has the following expiration attributes: Expiration Attributes Expire after Days Non-usage . : 540 Expire after Date/Days . . . . : NOLIMIT Retention Limit . . . . . . . : 0 My understanding is that even though the dsn could be expired after 540 days, since there is a NOLIMIT, this would override the Expire after Days Non-usage of 540 days. Please correct me if my understanding is skewered. Also, could any one suggest where else I could look for the cause of the missing dsn?

This, of course, shows only a snapshot but might be sufficient for you if it corresponds to a time when all your servers are active. You could probably construct a REXX clist which parses the output and produces the report you really want. Note that you should consider how you should report those port numbers associated with an all zeros IP address, INADDR_ANY, and those qualified by a specific IP address. If you are really keen, you could invest in setting up SNMP, manager (client) and agent (server), in order to extract the same information from the MIB you will find defined in Appendix B of the z/OS Communications Server IP System Administrator's Commands manual. Check the tables in the IbmMvsTcp and IbmMvsUdp parts of the MIB. I think you'll find traffic counts - and lots more! - there.

Re: changing management class on about 10000 datasets
I'm in the same boat. We have a monthly job that reads a list of migrated files, and for those that are test and been archived longer that x years, we create HDELETE statements. With this in place, we never bothered to define separate management class for the test files. Mike Wickman -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Pommier, Rex R. Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 2:53 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: [IBM-MAIN] changing management class on about 1 datasets Hi list, I checked the documentation and the archives and either what I want to do isn't available or I missed it, so please bear with me. Is there some way to change the management class of a number of SMS managed datasets (roughly 10,000 so I don't really want to IDCAMS ALTER all of them)? My situation is that before I got here, the decision was made to use the same management class for test and production datasets. This class has never expire set on it. I want to create a new management class for the test datasets that has an expiration date so that since the developers don't clean up after themselves, I can. However, I have about 10K test datasets that still have the production mgmt class assigned to them. The vast majority of these datasets are on ML2 tapes and I would like there to be some way to tell SMS to assign the new mgmt class to all these datasets so they automatically get migrated to the bit bucket. Some of the test datasets are over 10 years old and the developers have agreed that there should be an automatic purge of them (the datasets, not the developers...). From what I've gathered, the new mgmt class will only apply to new datasets or the old ones if they get migrated or recalled, but I can't mass change these old datasets while they are at rest. TIA for any help you can provide.

If IBM is asking us to replace 2074s and 3174s with this new and improved OSAC-ICC solution, will PCOMM become a free product if it isn't already? Just wondering. === This email is intended to be reviewed by only the intended recipient and may contain information that is privileged and/or confidential.

Re: SEZATCP - Steplib or LNKLST?
We are z/os 1.4. No steplib in tcpip, and only sezaload in linklist. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/02/06 2:35 PM Hi List - I have a question on how other shops have their TCPIP.SEZATCP allocated. Recently I applied 3 PTFs (UQ95225, UQ95175, and UQ92269 respectively) to fix a problem with the CICS CSKL listener abending. Over night the test CICS regions recycled, loading the new EZACIC02(and other) load modules from SEZATCP. The Foundation server that we use as a front end would not connect up to the listener afterwards, and after backing out the changes and recycling the CICS regions, it functioned fine. In doing some research, I noted that SEZATCP was in the TCPIP Steplib, and in doing some more research in looking at the example TCPIPROC, it did not have SEZATCP in the steplib. Furthermore, the default LNKLST that we received with z/OS 1.4, it only had SEZALOAD in the LNKLST. I am thinking the problem is that the TCPIP address space has one copy of EZACIC02, and the CICS region has a different one, and therefore they are not working together. So I am wondering how others have their TCPIP libraries set up. Does anyone or everyone steplib to SEZATCP, or shouldn't this be done? Does the TCPIP stack need SEZATCP at all? If so, should SEZATCP be in the LNKLST? Does everyone else have only SEZALOAD in the LNKLST? TIA for all all those who respond.

Re: Scrolling NETSTAT displayed using TSO COMMAND panel
David Alcock has a nice freeware netstat panel system on his web site of planetmvs.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/25/06 8:37 AM Is there command or a freeware utility that will allow me to scroll forward and backward through the output of a NETSTAT command entered via TSO COMMAND panel.

MVS LTO tape usage
We have been approached with the idea of converting our tape backups from 3590 to LTO to get encryption for our off-site backups. There are claims by the vender that they interface with our DASD backup system and TMS (CA-Disk and CA-1). I'm just started asking questions like What about stand-alone restore as a recovery option? Has anyone else looked into this or have any comments they would like to share. Thanks for time and responses.

Re: Auto-FTP
WE also use jes2ftp and second all that Jim mentions. We put the pdfs into a HFS and let the users view them through SMB. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/20/06 6:23 AM Does z/OS have a way to automatically FTP reports from JES to a destination host? YOu might look at a product called JES2FTP from www.casisoft.com which does take JES2 reports, converts them to PDF's and FTP's them off to a place of choosing. Back a while ago, I had a user requirement to post 300+ mainframe DYL280 reports to widows web server. So they trained a windows person to download the reports (IND$FILE) to a PC manually convert them to a PDF, and manually FTP them to the windows machine. Two hours later, he was barely into it. The statistican asked us for a better way and we added a last step onto his batch job and he would create the reports and also do the transfer. The kid went onto another PC project. I believe there is a way to run it outside of batch using some form of WRITER but I am not postive. They also have JES2Mail to attach them to an e-mail. There is just out a free JES2Mail-Lite which replaces your z/OS SMTP process for sending out e-mails and makes the idea of attaching files far, far, easier than one would need to do using SMTP. I am told with the Lite client you can get support for a very small fee but is not necessary. Not to plug these folks, but the cost is reasonable and support is wonderful. Propose a new feature and it most often comes very quickly.
