Re: Rocket Software's MXI
I may get some reaction to this but I don't think you need to know the reason why. The fact that someone has asked for comparable products is the only question which needs to be answered. Normal reasons for why are cost, non-timely support, more bugs that necessary in the product,and probably many more.

Re: Summer Time, state of art
It isn't the operating system that has the problem. It is the poorly written application programs which do not use the GMT time for their time stamps in whatever data records they are recording. Instead, way back when, they decided to use LOCAL time and then do computations on that LOCAL time field against CURRENT LOCAL time which gets them into trouble during the FALL BACK time change. DB2 uses the GMT Time to stamp the LOG records it is recording for recovery so that is not an issue. SMF records have GMT Time in them so that is not an issue.

Hello, Barbara. I have searched the IBM Service Request (SR) Support Team ticket history and could find no submission from you. It appears that last service request you managed via the SR application was in October. Much has changed since then to support the System z community in advance of the January 31 announcement. On the other hand, I can see that Don Williams has submitted eight since the announcement. I have reviewed those, and hopefully they helped Don with using SR. His feature/usability concerns were forwarded to the product development team and many have already been prioritized for future releases. I feel it is important to note that the current version of IBM Service Request (SR) was designed based upon criteria provided by SoftwareXcel and general System z IBM stakeholder input. It was demonstrated to and tested by a good sampling of the ServiceLink/ETR customer base and has been through extensive user experience reviews. SR has been in production for two years and is based upon predecessor tools (ESR and SSR) that were in production for many years before that. SR processes roughly five times the service request volume of ETR today and is designed to support a common IBM business process and customer work flow. While SR is by no means a student project that was coded by clickers, it could always stand improvement. We have already taken action on much of this community's feedback and have accepted more for future evaluation and release.

Re: IBM Service Request (SR)
It is great that you want to do this but above all, it must look and feel like the old application it is replacing to all 6 of those old applications. Thus it must look and feel like ETR to us that use ETR to report problems. It must look and feel like the other 5 applications to those who used those applications. Maybe 1 application and 6 different templates which can be used to view the data. At any rate, I found SR much more cumbersome to use than ETR and until it looks and feels like ETR that will still be the case. ___ Jim Petersen MVS – Lead Systems Engineer Home Depot Technology Center 1300 Park Center Drive, Austin, TX 78753 www.homedepot.com email:jim_peter...@homedepot.com 512-977-2615 direct 512-977-2930 fax 210-859-9887 cell phone -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Christian Gilmore Sent: Friday, March 11, 2011 1:46 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: IBM Service Request (SR) Hello, I am the Initiative Leader for IBM's Problem Reporting Infrastructure. Within that initiative is the effort to migrate ServiceLink customers from the ETR application to IBM Service Request (SR). Based in part upon the concerns raised on this mailing list, we have slowed the migration and are evaluating a new deadline. An announcement was recently made on ServiceLink to this effect. We are also evaluating what more we can do during this migration time frame to ease your transition. I wanted to provide some general background on IBM's rationale for this migration. When IBM started its transformation efforts, our customers had six different applications to use, depending upon how they purchased their products from IBM. Our goal is to provide a single service request management application that supports all of our customers through all of our lines of business. Our primary customer value objectives are to eliminate customer confusion over which web application to use, combine best of breed use cases to improve ease-of-use, and ultimately increase satisfaction with our Electronic Support offerings. The SR application provides some substantial enhancements over ETR, such as: File uploads – Attach multiple files to the service request in-line View/manage all service requests – Manage service requests regardless of channel of input or of open/closed status and access archived service requests up to one year Business partner integration – Collaborate on service requests with your IBM-authorized business partners Language options – Interact in multiple languages based upon browser setting Personalization options – Personalize many functions and displays Continuous availability – Access to three hosting centers, each with internal redundancy, operating at 150% capacity in normal operation I have linked my presentation to SHARE from this past August in Boston. Some of the screen shots may be a bit different than current production, so please excuse that minor differentiation. As always, if you have specific issues with using the SR application, you can submit an assistance request online or via e-mail. Also, we have recently published a Technical Note for common issues that ETR users have experienced. This note will be linked from ServiceLink within the next few business days.

Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2010 10:26 AM
To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu
Subject: SMTP send problem
We have a batch job that is failing to send the SMTP email we want it
to send. We have a number of other batch jobs that are working just fine in
this regard.
Unlike the working jobs, which are submitted by our job-scheduler, this
one is submitted via a CICS transaction using a TD queue. The CICS-region's
authority user-ID has authority through a profile in the SURROGAT class to
submit the job using the FIDUFLX1 ID (a functional or non-personal ID) that is
supposed to run the batch job. The JCL and control cards for the job, as
submitted, are:
//SUBUBF1H JOB 021210F00210P,H,CLASS=G,MSGCLASS=U,USER=FIDUFLX1
//STEP00 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//DD1 DD DSN=UN.UB.PD.UBCUBF1.MAIL,UNIT=(,,DEFER),
//DISP=(MOD,DELETE,DELETE),SPACE=(CYL,1)
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=SYNCSORT
//STEPLIB DD DSNAME=SYS1.SORTLIB,DISP=SHR
//SORTIN DD *
-- in-stream message records to go into the *.UBCUBF1.MAIL --

//SORTOUT DD DSNAME=UN.UB.PD.UBCUBF1.MAIL,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE),UNIT=DISK,
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=4080)
//SORTWK01 DD UNIT=DISK,SPACE=(CYL,(55))

a file copy)
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//STEP02 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,DYNAMNBR=20
//SYSPROC DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYSTEMS.PROD.SYSEXEC
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD *-- in-stream
control cards as follows
SMTPNOTE BATCH -
SUBJECT(' ERROR IN PARAGRAPH GET-WAGES (UBF1) -- or some other
subject statement
') -
DATASET('UN.UB.PD.UBCUBF1.MAIL') -
TO(fluid...@awi.--rest-of-address--) BATCH
/*
/*EOF
I do note that the control statements have the word 'BATCH' present
twice, first immediately after the SMTPNOTE parameter, and again after the
email address. I am not sure if this is connected to the problem or not.
The job's run-authority ID (FIDUFLX1) has an alias to a user-catalog,
since our experience has shown that this is needed for at least one dataset
that SMTP allocates.
The results from the 'STEP02' job-step are:
READY
SMTPNOTE BATCH SUBJECT(' ERROR IN PARAGRAPH GET-WAGES (UBF1)
')
DATASET('UN.UB.PD.UBCUBF1.MAIL') TO(fluid...@awi.--rest-of-address--) BATCH
EZA5580E UNABLE TO DELETE TEMPORARY DATASET '.SMTPPR.TEMP.TEXT'
READY
SMTPPR is the name of our mainframe SMTP started task. Please note
that the temporary dataset it is attempting to delete is '.SMTPPR.TEMP.TEXT'
and is lacking a high-level-qualifier, which is the obvious reason why the
temporary dataset cannot be built or deleted.
As far as I can tell, everything for this job's ID is set up the same
as for the IDs whose (normal) batch jobs are successfully sending SMTP emails.
Any ideas on what I am overlooking or missing???

HiperDispatch isn't working on a z10
Here is a problem we opened with IBM and are wondering if anyone else has observed this as well. We have currently turned off HiperDispatch because IBM wants the CE to gather data and because of other issues, we are very uncomfortable with that. We're running z/OS 1.10 in a parallell sysplex. One of our CEC's is a 2097-717 with 4 LPARs defined. One of the LPARs is not active. The weights of the LPARs is as follows: LPAR1 - 66% LPAR2 - 20% LPAR3 - 10% The LPAR that is down is LPAR4 and is weighted at 4%. During the online day, our CPU is busy but at night there is excess capacity. The LPAR LPAR3 during the day has two CPs configured online. At 19:00 when the demand drops, we configure four more engines online. As the applications throw more work to LPAR3, the utilization gets to about 11.5% but that's it. It won't take any more even though the entire CEC is about 70-80% busy. I thought that as long as the CEC had capacity, the LPAR could take more than it's weight. When I look at the engines through our monitor, the four engines that I configured online are in a PARKED state. Is this working correctly or is there something else I should do to allow more work to flow to LPAR3 during off peak times? ___ Jim Petersen MVS - Lead Systems Engineer Home Depot Technology Center 1300 Park Center Drive, Austin, TX 78753 www.homedepot.com email:jim_peter...@homedepot.com 512-977-2615 direct 512-977-2930 fax 210-859-9887 cell phone The information in this Internet Email is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Re: TMON with OMEGAMON Comparison
First of all this is the opinion of myself and does not necessarily represent the views of my company. I have been at two shops which converted to Omegamon from something else. At the one, we converted from TMON. Even before we got fully converted, it was found by the CICS Group that the number of keystrokes required to solve a CICS problem was 12 times greater than TMON using Omegamon. There were monitors in TMON which had no duplicates in Omegamon such as TCPIP and Websphere. This company has recently converted off of Omegamon to another product. The 2nd shop also converted off of another product to Omegamon. After 3 frustrating years of trying to get Omegamon to work (it seemed to be a fix or repair daily situation), they too have converted to another product. They also found that Omegamon was going to take 3 full time people just to do the customization of Omegagmon and maintain it. ___ Jim Petersen MVS - Lead Systems Engineer Home Depot Technology Center 1300 Park Center Drive, Austin, TX 78753 www.homedepot.com email:jim_peter...@homedepot.com 512-977-2615 direct 210-977-2930 fax 210-859-9887 cell phone -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Yogeetha balasubramanian Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 7:41 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: TMON with OMEGAMON Comparison Hello there !!

I will review the scenario: Running a IBM 2096-O02 (36MSU) and 2096-T03 (95MSU) machines in a Parallel Sysplex where TWS runs on the O02 system (smaller of the two). TWS is scheduling work in the Parallel Sysplex and also there is a distributed component for scheduling for 3-4 Windows Servers. Historically it is interesting for TWS had its roots in an IBM product called OPC (Operator Control) which did z/OS and distributed scheduling using Trackers. It worked very well using little CPU time. OPC morfed itself into Tivoli and became TWS for z/OS and IBM bought a company called Maestro which did distributed scheduling. The two products were merged and Trackers went away. It took IBM a few years to fully integrate the two products. This brings it down to the present and performance issues encountered. TWS for z/OS runs separately from other Started Task for distributed TWS called TWSE2E. TWSE2E was seen taking about 3 MSUs worth of the O02 when the system used to run around 28-29 MSUs max in a month. IBM researched the issue and came forth with the explanation which is not highlighted in any of the Tivoli manuals as far as we can read. The TWSE2E executes its programs in the O02's USS system and has files defined in a zFS file system. If indeed that zFS file system is not owned by the LPAR where TWS is running, all the I/O must go through XCF in the Parallel Sysplex; generating the extraordinary amounts of CPU time seen as being used by TWSE2E in that LPAR. The recommendation now is always have the zFS file system mounted to the LPAR where TWS is operating (otherwise TWSE2E will eat your lunch, dinner, etc). When we switched TWS's zFS file system back to the TWS LPAR, the CPU consumption dropped to almost nothing. I can understand the recommendation and now it places some considerations to ponder: 1. When a TWS LPAR is taken down the ownership of its zFS file system is automagically transferred to some other LPAR and it is not your choice which one (another interesting discussion could follow this line). So when the TWS LPAR is IPL'ed, operationally one must ensure the proper commands are issued to bring back ownership of TWS's zFS file system. 2. One can implement all of #1 in Automation if one is running some sort of automation package; a good case for getting one. 3. Keep in mind this is not a Parallel Sysplex problem but a zFS challenge. 4. I just have to wonder if all this is caused by I/O for TWSE2E having to go through XCF to get to the other LPAR where the zFS is owned, then why not the WAIT associated with I/O versus the heavy, heavy CPU load caused by this I/O (3-4 Windows Servers which get about 30-40 jobs per day)? Note: I just have to believe there is more to the story and it may not be a TWS problem but maybe TWS exploiting something in USS and zFS which is a bad design. POSTSCRIPT: Things are back using an acceptable amount of CPU and everyone is older and wiser. Jim P.S. Wonder how many other z/OS USS implementations are using excessive CPU because of the ownership of some zFS file system. Will be on the watch for something like it in the future. -- 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 -- 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: CPU time differences for the same job
This has been a question which dates back to the times of old. Back in the late 60's early 70's when I was running MFT and MVT, it was the question most on people's minds. Back in those days, it was because when an I/O interrupt occurred some of the time of processing that interrupt (no matter which JOB, STC, or TSO user it was for) got charged to the program which was using the CPU at that very moment of the interrupt. I think some of that most definitely has been cleaned up since those ancient days. ___ Jim Petersen MVS - Lead Systems Engineer Home Depot Technology Center 1300 Park Center Drive, Austin, TX 78753 www.homedepot.com email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 512-977-2615 direct 210-977-2930 fax 210-859-9887 cell phone -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Miklos Szigetvari Sent: Monday, February 04, 2008 11:16 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: CPU time differences for the same job Hi I got this question time to time: What is the maximum CPU time difference for the same job, between repeated runs, under different system load ? -- Miklos Szigetvari Development Team ISIS Information Systems Gmbh tel: (+43) 2236 27551 570 Fax: (+43) 2236 21081 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Info: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hotline: +43-2236-27551-111 Visit our Website: http://www.isis-papyrus.com --- This e-mail is only intended for the recipient and not legally binding.

The simple way would be to scan the output (and input?) queue to spot who is allocated on the Volume. The command can then just set the job to be spool offloaded. This will clean off all but executing (and pending execution) jobs. You then repopulate the queues via Spool Reload. The Better way would be to read the data and rewrite it freeing up the old allocation (Since doing this correctly is so complex, the SPOOL OFFLOAD/RELOAD route is simpler IMO).

SAP using DB2 and Daylight Savings Time
This has been an ongoing discussion in the company even before the change in dates for DST. From what I am understanding, we are having problems getting the Unix/AIX Servers to change time automatically and be in synch with the z/OS and DB2 hosts. I am looking for SAP users who also use DB2. How do you accomplish your time change? We are currently running LOCAL = UTC + Offset. I know on the mainframe side we are going to change the time at the Sysplex Timers. Done it for may years now at different accounts. None that have used SAP however. Where I am ignorant is the AIX/Unix Servers. How do you accomplish this time change? I am going to cross post this to the DB2-L list as well. ___ Jim Petersen MVS - Lead Systems Engineer Home Depot Technology Center 1300 Park Center Drive, Austin, TX 78753 www.homedepot.com email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512-977-2615 direct 512-977-2930 fax 210-859-9887 cell This message may contain confidential information.

Re: V2X2 vs. Shark (SnapShot v. FlashCopy)
If you are doing Point in Time backups for your DR and you want to get the backups of those copies quickly done, then the V2X2 is your baby. SnapShot is more friendly in this area than Flashcopy. SnapShot saves pointers to the current data whereas FlashCopy copies it from one location to another under the covers. You have to wait for each block to be dumped to get to the Flashed location before it can be dumped. At a previous shop where I worked, we had all Storage Technology DASD and loved it. We also did point in Snaps and then backed them up for our DR. One area to consider is if you have to go back on your schedule and run the Snap (Flash jobs again). With SNAP there is not problem. With Flash you have to stop the current Flash connections and then Flash again. ___ Jim Petersen MVS - Lead Systems Engineer Home Depot Technology Center 1300 Park Center Drive, Austin, TX 78753 www.homedepot.com email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512-977-2615 direct 512-977-2930 fax 210-859-9887 cell This message may contain confidential information.

Has FlashCopy improved to the point that you can make a point in time backup and physically move it to tape later? And can you FlashCopy the entire box in a few minutes?

Re: Alter - APAR OA16334 Serverpac Built SYSLIB concat wrong
Yes. And I am the one who found the problem. Got an assembly error whilst assembling an SDSF Module during routine maintenance application after the ServerPac was laid down. Opened a problem with IBM and they were quick to respond. Of course, the LOCAL solution was to move the DLIBS datasets after the Target datasets in the SYSLIB Concatenation of the Target Zone. ___ Jim Petersen MVS - Lead Systems Engineer Home Depot Technology Center 1300 Park Center Drive, Austin, TX 78753 www.homedepot.com email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512-977-2615 direct 512-977-2930 fax 210-859-9887 cell -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ben Alford Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 12:18 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Alter - APAR OA16334 Serverpac Built SYSLIB concat wrong Heads up for z/OS V1.7 Serverpacs generated between Feb. 15 and May 26, 2006.

Re: Home Depot Looking for MVS - Lead Systems Engineer in Austin TX
Well, as I answered in a direct email: if they offered telecommuting, everyone would have to form a line behind me. I commute 88 miles one way to work each day. Not a bad commute since we are talking about the wide open spaces of Texas mostly. But, they do not offer telecommuting as a regular mode of work. Not even a regular 1 day a week or whatever. ___ Jim Petersen MVS - Lead Systems Engineer Home Depot Technology Center 1300 Park Center Drive, Austin, TX 78753 www.homedepot.com email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512-977-2615 direct 512-977-2930 fax 210-859-9887 cell -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shmuel Metz (Seymour J.)

Re: Home Depot Looking for MVS - Lead Systems Engineer in Austin TX
Very low since I purchased a very fuel efficient car. When I worked in San Antonio, I drove a F-250 Super Duty 7.3L Diesel which got about 19 mpg. That vehicle now has Farm Plates on it. Bi-weekly gas bill is about $110-130. ___ Jim Petersen MVS - Lead Systems Engineer Home Depot Technology Center 1300 Park Center Drive, Austin, TX 78753 www.homedepot.com email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512-977-2615 direct 512-977-2930 fax 210-859-9887 cell -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Tsujimoto Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 8:20 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Home Depot Looking for MVS - Lead Systems Engineer in Austin TX Jim wrote: I commute 88 miles one way to work each day.

Re: CBDQDISP Inactive
Since the only way one can bring down CBDQDISP is to Cancel it, thus a S222 abend, I would look for an abend message for CBDQDISP. You should then be able to figure out why it came down. ___ Jim Petersen MVS - Lead Systems Engineer Home Depot Technology Center 1300 Park Center Drive, Austin, TX 78753 www.homedepot.com email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512-977-2615 direct 512-977-2930 fax 210-859-9887 cell -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Giovanni Cerquone Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 1:48 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: CBDQDISP Inactive Dear folks; I'm using HCM via TCP/IP and I have no problems when the connection is successful but, if there is a security error accessing the CBDQDISP (by instance, the OMVS segment was not assigned in RACF to the user trying to connect to HCM), the user get a invalid logon. No problem here. Point is that anytime this happens, the CBDQDISP address space goes inactive (i.e. like a STOP command was issued) and we have to go to the mainframe to start the STC again. Are you familiar with this behavior?. How can I fix this beyond the fact that I need to fix the security definition?. TIA, Giovanni PS.
