Like 1 is edit, 2 is SDSF, 3 is ISHELL, 4 is 3.4 and so on. Problem is that I still cannot figure out how to make PF9 swap between two screens that I want. Let's say I am in ISHELL on number 3 and I want to swap to number 6 for example. I put 6 in the command and hit PF9 and it goes there. Then I hit PF9 and it goes to #2 for example. I want it to go from 6 to 3. How do I do that? I know it can be done, because I do it accidentally quite often, but even after all these years I haven't figured out the pattern. thank you very much Lindy Lindy, I have been playing here with my sessions and I do not think you can do as you'd like unfortunately. I too use multiple sessions, sometimes I run out of them (the limit being 8)! With my ID I have changed all my PF2 settings to the START command and PF9 to SWAP NEXT. As John pointed out, I do have the SWAPBAR command invoked, and you can see the panel names at the bottom of your screen. If I'm on screen #2 for instance, I can type SWAP 5 and it will go to screen 5 (as noted on the display with an asterisk next to the screen you are on). I then can go to all the others using the SWAP n command, but a SWAP PREV only takes me back one in the list as noted on the SWAPBAR display. So I don't think the SWAP command is intuitive enough to know what screen you really were previously on. Sorry! The SWAPBAR is a neat feature, although I find it cumbersome to tab down to the right screen and hit enter to get to it. It is just faster to hit my PF9 SWAP NEXT command. Same with SWAP LIST.

At least its not on the z/OS R9 bookshelf that I have on CD. Another related question I have. If RACF is set up to revoke userids after 45 days of inactivity, will the user show up as revoked after that 45 days? I had heard that it only showed up as revoked if the user tried to log on after the period of inactivity. So even if the user didn't try to log on for 60 days in my example, he would still show up as REVOKE DATE=NONE after 50 days. Is that correct? Thanks, -- Eric Bielefeld Systems Programmer Eric - Can't help you with the R-INACT but here is the revoked information from the 1.11 RACF Security Administrators Guide: .2.5 Revoking Unused User IDs (INACTIVE Option) The INACTIVE operand of the SETROPTS command causes RACF to revoke the user's right to use the system if the user ID has remained unused beyond a specified number of days. RACF revokes the user the next time the user attempts to enter the system. The following example specifies that RACF revoke a user ID if it is unused for over 30 days: SETROPTS INACTIVE(30) If you issue the SETROPTS INACTIVE(30) command and a user has not done any of the following in 31 days: Logged on Submitted a job Changed their password or password phrase by any method Attempted an unsuccessful logon Received a directed command or output from RACF that user is considered revoked. However, the user is not actually revoked and the output of the LISTUSER command does not show that the user is revoked until the user next attempts to log on or submit a job. When you allow the user to start using the system again (using the RESUME operand on the ALTUSER command), RACF resets the effective date with which the period of inactivity starts. When you define a new user ID, the user's last access date is set to the user ID's creation date. If the user ID is not used within the number of days specified by SETROPTS INACTIVE, the user ID will be revoked. When you issue the LISTUSER for a new user ID that has never been used, the last access date will be listed as UNKNOWN. If NOINACTIVE is in effect, RACF does not check the user ID against an unused user ID interval. If NOINITSTATS is in effect, the INACTIVE, REVOKE, HISTORY, and WARNING options cannot be used.

Building services manually switches the UPS's over to local, you check all the breakers. You have management standing over your shoulder asking when everything will be back up again.

EMC DLm Memory Leak Heads Up
This is a heads up for anyone who has a EMC DLm(Disk Library for Mainframe) at firmware level 2.1.1. On August 24th we were called by the operators that there were pending tape mounts on the DLm of over 10 minutes. Upon further investigation we were able to determine all of the pending mounts was to one of the two VTE's. We PUTTY'ed into the box and the one VTE was not responding to commands. With the help of EMC support personel we were instructed on how to reboot the VTE in question and it cleared up the issue. Handily the other VTE did the same the next night. We opened an issue with EMC and here is their response below. This hopefully will save someone an outage. This is for DLm's at firmware 2.1.1. quote In regards to SR snip to outage of VTE2 in DLm snip on 24th August, we have examined the logs and they have shown the following error which has been streaming most of the day. 08/24/2010 05:09:53 VTE2 VT: DLm839E: Unable to assess space for /tapelib1/AB (5): Cannot allocate memory This is a known issue which relates to a memory leakage problem and is fixed in the VTE application version 2.1.2 and above. It is recommended that all VTE’s be upgraded to the latest firmware as soon as possible. The current GA level is 2.1.2p2. Until the firmware is upgraded, any VTE’s below 2.1.2 (your current level for this DLm is 2.1.1) should be rebooted monthly as a circumvention to this memory leakage problem (which is what you did on the 24th August). The tape drives assigned to this VTE being rebooted must be varied offline before the reboot. /quote Regards to all, Patrick Lyon -- 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

The space should be calculated using the cisize times the number of records, but it is currently using a value of 4096 times the number of records. For example a 32K cisize will produce a data set with 1/8th the expected amount of space. LOCAL FIX: If possible, use tracks or cylinders when defining a linear data set with a cisize larger than than 4096. PROBLEM SUMMARY: ** ** * USERS AFFECTED: This problem will in fixed in future * * release with PTM K1B0501 and K1B0502.* ** ** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: AMS currently does not support the * * DEFINE of a linear data set with CISIZE * * greater than 4K. With this apar, AMS * * will set the CISIZE as the value* * specified in the DEFINE. But when the * * CISIZE is 32K, CATALOG failed the * * allocation with RC=192 and RS=0. So to * * have a completed solution for this * * support. Catalog needs to be changed * * to check to see if the data set being * * defined is linear data set, if so, set * * the overhead required to zero as linear * * data set does not have any record * * overhead. As a results, 2 PTMs are * * open to fix this problem: * * K1B0501 (CAT) * * K1B0502 (AMS) * ** ** * RECOMMENDATION: * ** ** This apar closed FIN with 2 PTMS : K1B0501 (CAT) K1B0502 (AMS) -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists

If you are going to hit 48 at month end, then that is your max. That is what you are billed, even tho you may run at 20% the rest of the month. So to me there is no wasting CPU. It is there for your use, up to 48 MSUs. So why not use it?

I wonder why management around here has always been pushing the don't use the mainframe unless you absolutely must button. I.e. do more desk checking rather than a compile to find syntax errors. Perhaps there has been some miscommunication. Or I'm just stupid (a good possibility). Here we decommissioned a production application that went to a toy box application that used IMS when it was on the mainframe. Although it went to production on the toy box, the users still wanted look up capability on the mainframe of their legacy data. They didn't push for this upgrade to a more modern application, they loved the one they had, but I regress... Anyway we still facilitate lookup, we just moved the IMS data to a different LPAR and subsystem. Their data is there for their viewing, albeit on an LPAR that runs at less MSUs than production, thus saving us coin. We did the same thing with COBOL compiles, we do not allow compiles on our production LPAR, only test, and therefore we are not billed the higher MSU rating on the production LPAR. I can understand why management would want to avoid contention on a box (or even LPAR) against a customers SLA, but if it isn't running 100% all the time, then I say their view of don't use the mainframe unless you absolutely must is the stupid one, not you. -- 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
