Re: SYSREXX - From the console
According to sources at IBM:
The security environment that you get when AXREXX is invoked under a
console that is not logged on lacks an OMVS segment
so you need to logon w/ a userid that is properly defined.
So if you want to create a SYSREXX command and want the operators to be
able to issue the command from the console, the console may have to be
logged on depending if it requires an OMVS segment. In this case, I was
creating a SYSREXX to UNMOUNT an HFS file via command from the console.

Re: HealthChecker vs SMTP - 1 : 0
Thanks Stephen, I appreciate the reality check. I fought my way through
it far enough yesterday to realize that SMTP has a documented
restriction for the dataset of an LRECL of 243 or less (although it will
take up to 250). I used an old friend IEBGENER to truncate the file
from FBA 256 to FB 250 and then sent it via SMTPNOTE. Somewhere along
the way the trailing spaces were removed so the actual email is very
readable.
So I wonder, in all the documentation I have read about HealthChecker I
see suggestions for automation to email the exception reports but from
what I can tell, without tweaking, the reports cannot be sent. Curious
to see what IBM would say about the added complexity built into this
process.

Subject: HealthChecker vs SMTP - 1 : 0
SMTP and HealthChecker do not seem to want to get along. The
HealthChecker HZSPRINT reports are LRECL 256 and SMTP is very snotty
about something so wide. Perhaps it is simply that I am using IEBGENER
to copy the email header data and append the report. Does anyone have
sample JCL they can share to email a HZSPRINIT report?
Sean Smith

Hi Sean
I had the same problems, so in the end I wrote a rexx exec to append the
report to the SMTP header stuff:
We have a STC which is invoked at IPL time which writes the output of
HZSPRINT to a GDG.
Here is the JCL:
//HCEMAILEXEC PGM=IRXJCL,PARM='HZSPRINT'
//SYSEXECDD DISP=SHR,DSN=dataset where HZSPRINT rexx lives
//INFILE DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS9.HCHK.A02.REPORT(0) == output from
HZSPRINT
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=(B,SMTP)
Rexx exec :
/* REXX

sysid = MVSVAR('SYSNAME')

Re: Need single character unique identifier for each system in a sysplex. 0-F is fine.
Thank you for the suggestion Ed. I'll look into IXCQUERY as another option and learning experience. Regarding the use of a single digit, the digit will be used as part of a CONSOLE name so numbers and upper-case alpha and #, $ and @ are the only valid characters. 10 numbers + 26 Upper-Case + 3 special characters = 39 which is greater than the 32 maximum systems allowed in a SYSPLEX. Of course I would like to see this code live through future changes which is not possible with the naming restrictions for console-name and using a single character: Value Range: conname is from 2 to 8 characters. The first character of conname must begin with the letters A through Z or with a #, $, or @; the remaining characters can be A through Z, 0 through 9, or #, $, or @. These rules would only allow a single character to be up to 39. With this restriction it seems that I will be forced to code the program to handle up to the current limit of 32 unless I look to change the program to use a 2 character identifier.

Fellow IBMers and Mark. Zelden in particular, I am modifying an assembler program and I have a need to have a single digit unique identifier for a system within a SYSPLEX. I started by looking at Mark Zelden's IPLINFO (thanks again Mark...this has been a huge boon to me REXX skill set as I reference your techniques frequently). I looked at the following fields (field names from IPLINFO): LPAR_# From PCCA + 7 CSDPLPN From CSD + 252 JESDSNIDFrom JESPEXT + 100 - Recognizing this is actually a 2 digit field The program I am modifying is being used in z/OS 1.8 - z/OS 1.10 in both JES2 and JES3 and in VM guests. The VM Guests ruled out CSDPLPN and LPAR_# as it always came back as 0 on guests. JESDSNID seems to fit the bill especially with the description from the IPLINFO utility: 'This was system number' Format(JESDSNID) 'added to the sysplex.' My question is whether or not this field really represents the sequence a system was added in to the SYSPLEX. From the Data Areas manuals I see this description: JESDSNID ID for temporary data sets on this system. I did a test on 3 systems to check out this field. All three systems are in the same SYSPLEX but one is in its own JES MAS. The numbers came back all unique (1,2,3) so I am encouraged. Any commentary or suggestions about my quandary are as always greatly appreciated.

I am just suggesting that it is essential that we advertise our worth.

JES RJCB Processing
Hello all, I am converting some Exit-4 code to Exit-54 and have changed to using the RJCB process to insert cards to the job stream. The problem that I am having is that there is a flag in the $XPL to identify when cards are to be inserted from JCTXWRK but there is not a flag to indicate when cards have been inserted by a previous pass. I realize that these are two different requirements. The first tells the system to insert cards from the JCTXWRK and my requirement is a flag to indicate that cards have been inserted by a previous pass through the exit. In one of my exits I can just a flag byte to the persistent storage I acquire. But in another there is no persistent storage. Any tips on how to flag that the exit has already inserted cards? Could I just check the X054RJCP to see if it has an address on subsequent passes? Thanks in advance.

JES2 z/OS 1.7 New Exit Question: NJE or Internal Reader
I am in the process of creating the new JES exits for exit 50, 54, 56 57. First question: The problem I am running into is that in the original exits, there was code to look at the PCE to determine if this was an NJE or internal reader. Since the PCE is not available to the USER I am trying to figure out how to tell if the process is NJE or Internal Reader. Here is the original code: CLI PCEID+0,PCENJEID ARE WE NJE PROCESSOR ? BNE N_9000 N: GET OUT CLI PCEID+1,PCENSTID NJE SYSOUT TRANSMITTER ? BNE N_9000 N: GET OUT Here is what I have come up for the new exit: L R9,CCTINTRER9: IRE address LTR R9,R9 Are we a reader? BNZ J_0110 Y: Continue This code tests to see if there is a valid address for the $IRE control block. Does this make sense? Is there a better way? I am just dreaming that there should be something in the $XPL that identifies the process type? Second question: In the original code, the Name/Token service was used to store the address of a GETMAINED area. The original code (in exit 4) used PCEUSER1 for the Name in the token requests. Again I am faced with having to use something else since the PCE is not available. I was thinking of just using the something static like the exit name if a 16 byte field. This one seems pretty obvious but thought I would mention it here for some feedback.

It appears that the ISPGUINX app expects to run in a 16 bit windows environment. I'm using Windows XP and I have tried setting all compatibility modes for this program and the results are the same. Is there a newer version of ISPGUINX for a window XP system? The downloaded file is from a z/OS 1.6 system. Anyone else have this problem? HITACHI DATA SYSTEMS Raymond E.

Re: Dataset Contention
I have seen the posts mentioning HiperBatch but I would have thought that BatchPipes would have given you the same performance benefit if not better. BatchPipes is a paid feature I believe though. If processing the file by multiple jobs as soon as it is created is the goal, then wouldn't BatchPipes be faster than HiperBatch as you could start accessing the data as it is being created instead of waiting until the job completes?

Re: Submitting job using ReXX
How come this thread is still active? The response below is the same solution that I have encountered the past. You can not have special characters that the File Tailoring will try to process like .

z/OS DFS SMB Performance
Problem: When connecting to work over VPN, SMB performance leaves a lot to be desired. Where a 200k file in the office loads in 5-9 seconds, over VPN it takes 50-60 seconds. It does not appear to be a server problem or a bandwidth problem. I tried the same file directly pulling it from an HFS and I got it loaded in 6 seconds from home. I then setup a file server on a z/OS box to see if it would perform better. It did not. Talking to local VPN expert, he basically said that SMB is chatty and that we will see some improvement with Windows Vista. Reading the DFS manual for SMB, there are several notes about performance one of which states that HEAPPOOLS(ON) provides a significant improvement. What they don't say is what the heap pool sizes and percentages should be for SMB. I am overriding the HEAPPOOLS in the JCL so these will not be system wide. I tried HEAPPOOLS(ON) and did see a good improvement. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: z/OS DFS SMB Performance
Yes I believe that is the case. We are not using z/OS for the VPN service. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R.S.
