Re: What is System Completion Code FD6?
In QuickRef, do Categories, then System Abend Codes. Select any of the system abend codes Fxx: Fnn Explanation: The system detected an error while processing a Supervisor Call (SVC) instruction. The last 2 digits of this completion code, nn, are the operand of the SVC instruction in hexadecimal. For example, completion code X'F0D' means that the error occurred while the system was processing SVC X'0D', that is, SVC 13. So, user SVC x'D6', or 214 has a problem. QuickRef has some suggestions. Look in IEASVCxx to see what product is using it. I don't have a 214 here, so I don't know if it may be the default for a product I don't run. Good luck.

Re: Why are z/OS people so reluctant to use z/OS UNIX?
Try creating GDG(+1) from z/OS Unix. Note that using the 'cp' command generates two SMF 15 records - can't DSN trigger using it. Find something else that works with GDGs. I'll wait. While I'm in the shell, I can't use split screen. 13.11 and 3.17 don't have all the capabilities of the shell. Monitoring the Unix environment presents challenges. I have a comprehensive set of JCL to do a zillion things in classic MVS. Shell scripts don't cut it. Education issue? Perhaps. I'll get right on it in my copious free time. Mainframe auditors trying to understand Unix security model or Unix auditors trying to audit z/OS - both keep my life interesting. Inability of classic MVS utilities to manipulate Unix files. Much as it grates, I have to agree with Mr Gilmartin. If you really want adoption of Unix facilities, utilities and JCL should treat path/file same as DSN=, including executables. Please, please, please give me error messages that don't require multistage lookup. That LookAt and Quick-Ref can understand. Short version: the toolset is limited, Unix files are treated differently (or not at all) by traditional JCL and Utilities, Unix commands to manipulate data have (documented but non-intuitive) restrictions, and z Sysprogs are already swamped with keeping up with the technology, particularly in medium shops where very few people support a lot of infrastructure. I don't dislike Unix at all. I play with various versions of Unix and Linux at home. It's interesting comparing different OS capabilities and facilities. Here at work is a different story. Unexpected difficulties in the movement of data between z/OS Unix and classic MVS, and the manipulation of data from one environment to the other, plus the lack of supporting tools, all contribute to reluctance to develop applications based on Unix facilities.

Re: Using CA-JOBTRAC V11 SP3 in Production
Steve, good luck. I've been at it for months, finally implemented two weeks ago. Still have a lot of problems with return code processing. Be up to date on maintenance. As in, check to see what PTFs came out TODAY. Be sure to load test thoroughly. What works fine on your testplex may very well fail in production. I opened over two dozen issues with CA while testing. Most were fixed by PTF, got a couple doc updates out of it. CA support has been very good. Looks like I've finally gotten to Level 1, though. Each problem I bring up, they want a TON of doc before even looking at things. :-) Good luck.

Re: Using CA-JOBTRAC V11 SP3 in Production
Now, THAT one I have done. Had to, after the first attempt to go Production. The utility worked, just flagged a TON of stuff as bad. We accepted that and kept going. Cleaning up the v3.5 history and checkpoint files first will allow a successful fallback. Having to rerun VINIT to get the right internals loaded is a pain in the a$$, tho. I'd much rather the product load the damn internals when it starts, and quit screwing around with VINIT. Oh, and GSSA had to be active during the conversion, each way. And for the VINIT. Joy.

Re: Where are the system symbols??
Larry,
from any ISPF command line, enter this:
TSO listc ent('sys1.linklib') all
VOLUMES,
VOLSER** DEVTYPE--X''
FSEQN--0,
Look at the VOLSER field. The six asterisks indicate indirect catloging,
meaning whatever volume you IPLed from, that is where the catalog will
point to for that dataset. All your IPL datasets, really all your resvol
datasets, should be indirectly cataloged.
Look in the z/OS Init and Tuning Reference, Chapter 2, for an explanation
of system symbols.

the system how does the system know what to define.The reason I am asking
is I want to create a maint pack(I've asked about this here) and was asked
if we used symbolics(for ipl purposes) ,to which I replied we do.
I thought we did by looking at my prog member and saw sysr1 the the vol

Now I am really confused. How do I id if we are using symbolics?

Betreff: Where are the system symbols??
I know that parmlib member ieasymxx contains system substitutions , but
when
we IPL I see others: IEA007I STATIC SYSTEM SYMBOL VALUES 065
SYSALVL. = 2
SYSCLONE. = P1
SYSNAME. = DOLCP1
SYSPLEX. = DOLCPLEX
SYSR1.= SYSRES
SYCI1.= SYCIC1
The only one I can find is the syci1 entry. I have looked at all defined
parmlibs(as defined in our sys1.iplparm) members(did a 3.14 on the libs)
so
I am now lost.
Where are/could these other symbol be defined??

The level of ASASYMBM that shipped with z/OS 1.9 is HBB7707.
John,
are you sure ? ASASYMBM on my z/OS 1.9 is at HBB7740.
I've been following this thread because I splitted Telnet
from TCPIP, too, on 1.7 in preparation for 1.9 upgrade.
BROWSESYS1.MIGLIB(ASASYMBM)
Command ===
.Ø..ASASYMBM...µ
س..
Ø..5695PMB01 ±.é.|
Ø..Ø..569623400 ±PL/X-390 .
Ø.h..RSI12683873
..{...{
å00..ASASYMBM 01268 HBB7707.°Ö}.
Also:
BROWSESYS1.LPALIB(ASASYMBM)
Command ===
.Ø..ASASYMBM...µ
س..
Ø..5695PMB01 ±.é..
Ø..Ø..569623400 ±PL/X-390 .
Ø.h..RSI12683873
..µ...µ
å00..ASASYMBM 01268 HBB7707.°Ö}.
So, I'm reasonably sure it's HBB7707. :-)
Also, IBM Support said (in my PMR) that ASASYMBM had not been changed
since z/OS 1.2.
Anyway, you won't see the S0F8s on z/OS 1.7 regardless your level of
ASASYMBM, because tn3270 (telnet) didn't start calling ASASYMBM until z/OS
1.8 (again, IBM said so in my PMR).

ZOS Upgrade Issue
Good Day,
I am attempting to upgrade from Z/OS V1.4 to Z/OS V1.7 and am having a
bit of a problem
getting the ALLOCDS job to run correctly. I am wondering if any of you
have experienced this?
I tried searching the archives but did not find anything helpful.
My error occurrs in the ALCZFS step which allocates the ZFS file system
using the TSO ALLOC parm.
The result is as follows:
READY
ALLOC DSNAME('ZOS17.OMVS.VAR') RECORG(LS)
TRACKS SPACE(528,53) BLKSIZE(4096) VOLUME(UPPZ
FS) CATALOG
IKJ56221I DATA SET ZOS17.OMVS.VAR NOT ALLOCATED, VOLUME NOT AVAILABLE+
IKJ56221I VOLUME UPPZFS CURRENTLY MOUNTED ON AN INELIGIBLE DEVICE
READY
END
It seems to be device related as it will allocate to a syssq volume. I
have another lpar on which It
will allocate to any volume. I have the specific volumes added to my
vatlst just like my syssq volumes, UPPZFS,0,0,3390,Y .
The device is a 3390 - mod 9. I have tried allocating to a mod 3 device
with the same results.
Any help is appreciated.
TIA

OK, OK, I'm sure that is not your choice, but it needed to be said, dammit! :-) I'm sure you checked this stuff, but: Check the TSS Violation report to see if the failure made it to TSS. From the violation report, grab the failing ACID. Verify it is what you expect it to be. Do a list on the ACID: TSS LIST(acid) data(all) Verify the failing ACID has either a GROUP/DFLTGRP and UID under SEGMENT OMVS, or that Top Secret has a default User and Group defined in its control options under OMVSUSER / OMVSGRP. If these are in place, it's time to start checking for restrictions on use of IP functions. BTW, I've found TSS support to be very responsive and helpful. Harder as a third-party, I know. Um, if this -isn't- the Scott Ford I've been talking to the last few days on another topic, please ignore the smart-assery.

One of our LPARS runs Top Secret and TCPIP and all of its applications. I have written a Cobol STC that executes the following Cobol Statement. Call 'EZASOKET' USING SOKET-INITAPI MAXSOC INITAPI-IDENT SUBTASK MAXSNO ERRNO IP-RETCODE We then receive a Errno 156 which is according to the Socket Return Codes This indicates a z/OS Unix process initialization failure. This is usually an indication that a proper OMVS RACF segment is not defined for the user ID associated with application. The RACF OMVS segment may not be defined or may contain errors such as an improper HOME() directory specification. The same code is working on a RACF Lpar and an ACF2 Lpar. Since this is failing on a Top Secret Lpar ( R8 of TSS ), I assume something is defined wrong in OMVS. Where do I start looking ?

Re: Health CHECK(IBMVSM,VSM_PVT_LIMIT)/VSM_SQA_THRESHOLD
Barbara's complaint is noted, but does not apply across every shop, of course. When we went to z/OS 1.7 last year, we increased ECSA. No problem on our test systems, where 1.7 lived for months of testing before migrating. All was well, until we got to Prod. Suddenly a problem surfaced that had not been uncovered in Test. If three very large CICS trans all ran at the same time, they ate all of EPVT and then Bad Things Happened. No good warning or error messages from the applications, of course. Seems the transactions had been tested one at a time by the applications group in the Testplex, and declared good.I wasn't here yet when my colleague had changed the parameters as he installed 1.7, and the changes had been made in Parmlib so long before they'd been kinda forgotten. Health Checker's warning of the change in EPVT size was a great help. I don't mean to take anything away from Barbara's point that this thing could be easier to administer. I'm a little nuts, but not crazy enough to hint this product is anything but user-surly.

RACF and Member Level Protection
CA Top Secret supports member level security in a PDS or PDSE, allowing a variance of access authority to users of the dataset versus an individual member. We have that plugged in. A few months ago, there was a problem that led me to open an issue with Top Secret to verify what they do, and with another vendor to determine why their program hung on failed access at the member level. The other vendor runs RACF, and today told me his RACF Admin says RACF does not support member level protection. Not being a RACF guy, I went to the books. Neither the Admin Guide or User's Guide yielded anything to searches on 'member protection' or 'member level protection'. I would have sworn all three major security packages supported this function, but I can't find anything to verify that. Will someone who knows the true scoop hook me up with either No, RACF doesn't do that or Hey, dope. Look at reference here.

Re: What makes MASTER CONSOLE unique?
-Sam Knutson's excellent tutorial snipped- Sam, I had an offline exchange with Brian Peterson about this. Apparently, only the IMS DB/DC regions have the WTOR, and it does not appear to be configurable. We have a couple dozen regions, none with the PARM=(CTL... My ignorance of IMS has been put on display to the world. Luckily it's not a unique experience for me. :-) Sorry to have gotten anybody's hopes up.

Re: MVS Experience
Sam Golob said: We don't seem to have too many bright kids here, who are willing to try anything and learn about the nitty gritty innards of the MVS system. Cue the zNextGen crew from SHARE in 3, 2, 1, . . . IBM and SHARE and a very bright, motivated and enthusiastic crew of new-to-the-platform folks are trying to correct the lack of a pipeline.

Re: Any DST Problems Yesterday?
Hey, Shane! Lighten up! What the news people choose to stress to sell advertising doesn't reflect what most of the rest of us are doing. I'm sure that's just an American thing, though, right?

Re: Paging and SLOTS
Bob, In answer to your question about having 256M real storage, and not to take anything away from the very good answers you've already gotten, I offer this as a comparison. I have two z/OS 1.7 systems with 256M real each. They are running no applications except GDPS. There are no monitors, no CICS, no databases. There is no batch work except the occasional sysprog utility. D A,L shows 22 STCs and 2 TSO users. We are a medium-size shop, device-wise. Right after an IPL I use roughly 1 tracks of common storage on each system.

Re: Rename Active IODF Whilst System Is Up?
I don't believe you can use a V5 IODF (created on the z/OS 1.7 system) on a z/OS 1.4 system. Perhaps one if the hardware gurus on the list can help out with a reference?

snip Roy Hewitt's excellent z/OS 1.7 Migration Guide reference Thanks, Roy. The Migration Guide cuts to the heart of it even better than the HCD User's Guide. Great reference.

Re: LPAR with GRSRNL=EXCLUDE can be added to a normal GRSplex? Please help!!!
Shane sez: The manuals are written by, and predominantly for, (United State) Americans. Expecting comprehensible and non-ambiguous English is asking for too much. An Aussie ragging on US English for being incomprehensible. I am speechless. (Those that know me realize the magnitude that implies.) We've missed you, Shane.

Reference to TCPIP task functions?
Happy Friday! I think I remember, years ago, seeing a list of TCPIP tasks and what their functions were. I'm talking about the tasks you see listed in response to D OMVS,A=ALL: SYSTCPIP TCPIP0041 196623 LATCHWAITPID= 0 CMD=EZBTCPIP SYSTCPIP TCPIP0041 196624 LATCHWAITPID= 0 CMD=EZBTTSSL SYSTCPIP TCPIP0041 196625 LATCHWAITPID= 0 CMD=EZBTMCTL SYSTCPIP TCPIP0041 196626 LATCHWAITPID= 0 CMD=EZACFALG SYSTCPIP TCPIP0041 196627 LATCHWAITPID= 0 CMD=EZASASUB SYSTCPIP TCPIP0041 196630 LATCHWAITPID= 0 CMD=EZBTTMST SYSTCPIP OSNMPD 004F 196640 LATCHWAITPID= 0 CMD=EZASNMPD So far, I've googled various task names, web-wide and group ibm-main. I searched these books: Communications Server IP System Administrator's Commands, IP Configuration Guide, IP Configuration Reference, IP Diagnosis Guide, Unix System Services Planning, Unix System Services User's Guide, ABCs of z/OS System Programming Vol 9. Unsuccessfully. Will someone please provide me a reference for these tasks' functions?
