Re: IFASMFDP Abends

2007-12-18 Thread Tergerson, John
Tom,

We just encountered a variation of your problem.  In our case, a tape
problem caused a return code 8, and no abend.  The inputdataset had
disp(old,delete,keep).  The input thus was deleted.

We have changed our jobstream to do condition code checking in a
follow-on job step, and delete the input only if the dump step has beeen
successful.

Subject: IFASMFDP Abends

I had a problem with IFASMFDP this morning that I've had previously over
the years.  It has always been my understand that this is just the way
it is.

 

In my daily SMF rollup I split the SMF data into multiple tape files
depending on the SMF ID.  One of those files had grown past the number
of tape volumes allowed.  Therefore the job failed with an S837-08.  I
fixed that by bumping up the number of volumes in the JCL.  The problem
is that IFASMFDP intercepts the abend and completes with a condition
code of 8 instead of a true abend.  Because of this the output datasets
were not deleted even though DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE) was coded on the JCL.
Does anyone know of a way to make IFASMFDP complete with a true abend
when it occurs?

Hi All,

We are currently running z/OS 1.7 service level 0705 on 11 production
Lpars for different clients - not in a sysplex. 
We just received the latest recommended and critical ptfs from Shop
zSeries - 0710.
The PTF's are a staggering 7524 in total. Our current fix strategy is to
just smp receive all the PTF's and use the 'fix on fail' approach if we
require a fix. We have a good SMPE rollout strategy - SMP dddefs point
to copied system volumes and we IPL of the 'SMP applied' setetc. Our
reason for not applying all the fixes is that we run many different
non-IBM 3rd party products on the different lpars and are concerned that
the fixes may cause problems.  

We would like to know what strategy's other companies use to install
these system fixes. How often do you receive/apply system fixes...etc 

Kind Regards,

Re: Listing HIPERS

2007-08-16 Thread Tergerson, John
Joseph,

That is the ENHANCED HOLDDATA.  You don't need to read any of it, just
receive it into your SMPE GLOBAL CSI.  As you can see in the header, it
is as current as the previous day.  Make sure there are no gaps in
holddata received.  In your example, the file covers only the last
month.  You can retrieve holddata that covers the last two years.

Your report will show you what applies to YOUR system at its current
state.  There is no need to develop complex queries and try to
understand which piece of maintenance you found applies to you.
Everything in the report applies to your system, and it is current.

Ed, if you really have nothing better to do than look every half hour
for additional HIPER maintenance, you really need a life :)  Yesterday
is current enough for me.

Re: Listing HIPERS

2007-08-16 Thread Tergerson, John
Joseph,

The 90 days worth of holddata might be correct in this case, just
because your system, built in July, is less than 90 days old.  There
won't be a gap in the holddata.  Before you run any report, retrieve
current holddata into your system that covers back to the last date you
retrieved holddata.  Don't bother trying to read the data itself.

If you run a report today, and the holddata is current, it will show
what PTF errors and HIPER errors your system is known to be exposed to
today.  If your production date is October, then, sometime before you go
to production, get the holddata current and run another report.  You
will undoubtedly see additional entries.  Maintenance applied in the
interim will possibly eliminate entries seen in the first report.  Take
care of the entries that look serious enough to your shop.

Each report will show you what errors you are known to be exposed to and
will be as current as the holddata.

There are lots of other ways to receive notification of potential
problems.  One is this forum, another is the IBMLink Automatic Software
Alert Process, another is a subscription to IBM flashes.  They will give
warning between your refresh of holddata.  Those entries should show up
in the holddata as well, and very quickly after they become known by the
IBM support teams.

You can also, as you asked in the first place, do your own searching and
wading through results.  I just don't do much of that, so I don't know
how to do efficient queries that won't also potentially miss errors I
would have wanted to see, and the holddata is so darned easy.

Let me give more background. My role is management of this activity and
I do not receive, apply, etc. We need to change our maint philosophy on
how we handle HIPERS. IE: We build z/OS 1.8 on a test system with a July
ESO but do not go production to October. I want to find out about HIPERS
from July-September. They would be evaluated to make sure nothing hot is
missing. We would then selectively apply HIPERS that are applicable.
That's my idea right now.

Are you saying that if my MVS guy received 90-days of enhanced holddata,
we could look it over and selectively apply what is needed or would all
90-days worth of this maint go on? What would you (or others) do with my
example scenario..? Also, going forward from October, how would you
handle HIPERS that come out.

Ed,

Joseph's question was about how to monitor HIPER fixes, not about how
and when to apply maintenance.  I try to always go through a current
round of RSU maintenance before a product goes into production to keep
it as current as possible just as Tom described.  

As Debbie pointed out, PSP buckets are important too, expecially because
of issues other than maintenance.

OOPS! Gotta run outside now and retrieve Junior before the lawn service

If that is what is good for you fine, personally I would expect no less
from anyone. I would also expect to monitor all new hipers for at least
a week (or two) after maintenance goes on. I do have a life but
maintenance is part of it and if you had a baby would you leave it out
on the front lawn because you have checked the neighborhood for wolves
(and found none) ?

When my baby goes into production I am in proactive mode not reactive.
I don't wait for the wolf to come to my street corner. i also monitor
logrec and system dumps all the time. That is how you find things that
are in the process of breaking.

Saying that, not all hipers are really important. If there is one out
there for a component we don't use I don't rush to put it on, the next
round of IPL's is fine. But if a hiper PTF came out got lets say VSAM it
would go on as fast as I can schedule it (or sooner if it breaks
something).

This was a lesson learned by me after 5 years of MVS sysproging I have
constantly refined it over the years. Yes MVS has gotten better but
lessons learned, it is almost always better to be safe than have
something broke at 2AM. We don't have (anymore) mega ptf tapes thanks to
better testing by IBM but coders are not perfect and mistakes do happen.

I think the easiest way to do this is to rely on ENHANCED HOLDDATA.
Make sure you have received current holddata, and then run an SMPE

Re: SOC4 in DFSORT with DB2

2007-08-01 Thread Tergerson, John
George,

We got an 0C4, and also a U0083 symptom using DFSORT to do reorgs on a
tablespace with a lot of indexes.

The DBA had set up sortnum to 160 so they would never have to compute
sort work space.  When they reduced it to 80, things worked fine.  The
tablespace with the problem was small, but has lots of indexes.  Large
tablespaces with fewer indexes could be reorged with larger sortnum.

There are two new APARs we caused.  Look at OA21854 and  darn, I
can't get to IBMLink to find the other, if it was even assigned yet.

In our case, the large number of sortnum caused a condition that
exceeded the allowable size of the TIOT.  The allocation APAR is to give
the user a better symptom than abend0C4 to tell the user what is wrong.
The 0C4 is because the slot allocation was trying to free up was for
VIO, which does not have a control block they were looking for.

The DB2 APAR is to address an issue of why they were asking for an
enormous number of sortwork datasets.  I'll post that whenever I can
find it.  Asking for sortnum of 80 for most reorgs, though, gave us a
welcome bypass.

Hope that helps.

  ERROR DESCRIPTION:
  There are several variations of this error.  For example, you
  might see:
  IGD330I ERROR OCCURRED DURING CBRXLCS PROCESSING-  (msgIGD330I)
   NO DEVICE POOLS EXIST TO FULFILL REQUEST FOR TDSI SPECIFICATION
   IGD306I UNEXPECTED ERROR DURING CBRXLCS PROCESSING
   RETURN CODE 12 REASON CODE 49 (rc12 rsn49)
   THE MODULE THAT DETECTED THE ERROR IS IGDIDMUS
   SMS MODULE TRACE BACK - IDMUS IDMSU IDM00 SSIRT
   SYMPTOM RECORD CREATED, PROBLEM ID IS IGD00094
   .
  With the IGD306I, you might also see:
  NO DEVICE POOLS EXIST TO FULFILL REQUEST FOR SPECIFIED RECORDING
  TECHNOLOGY.  ( RETURN CODE 12 REASON CODE 66  rc12 rsn66)
  or
  NO DEVICE POOLS TO FULFILL REQUEST FOR SPECIFIED MEDIA TYPE
  ( RETURN CODE 12 REASON CODE 67   rc12 rsn67)
  .
  Things to check:
  1) For SCRATCH allocations it is usually a problem with Data
 Class. Verify that the correct Data Class is being selected
 and that the ISMF definition is correct.
 .
 Check your job output to determine which Data Class was
 assigned. If it is not the correct one, check your ACS
 routine logic.  If it is the one you expect, display the Data
 Class definition in ISMF and look at the recording technology
 and/or media type specified.
 Verify that the recording technology and/or media type
 specified is appropriate for the devices in your library(s).
 For instance, if you have upgraded all of your devices to a
 new model (3590 Model B - 3590 Model E) and your data class
 still referenced the old recording technology, this could be
 one cause for the failure.
 Assigning a Data Class is optional, and if one is specified,
 assigning a media type and recording technology is used to
 direct your allocations to a particular device type within a
 library (or set of libraries).  This is especially important
 if your library contains multiple device types.
  2) For PRIVATE allocations, display the volume with:
 D SMS,VOL(volser)  to determine which library the volume
 resides in, then display the library with:
 D SMS,LIB(libname),DETAIL  and the drives with:
 LI DD,libname
 Make sure the ATL and drives are ONLINE and OPERATIONAL and
 that the DEVICE TYPE is correct
 .
 If you have just upgraded your drives to a new recording
 technology, (this is especially important if all of the
 drives in your library have been upgraded) you may need to
 set the Special Attribute ( READCOMPAT ) indicator in your
 volume records to be able to read your old PRIVATE tapes on
 your new drives.
 RMM users can build a CLIST as follows:
  RMM SV VOLUME(*) OWNER(*) LIMIT(*) STATUS(MASTER) -
 
 
  LOCATION(libname) -
  CLIST('RMM CHANGEVOLUME ' , ' SPECIALATTRIBUTES(RDCOMPAT) ')
 .
 To update only the TCDB, you can use IDCAMS:
 Example:
 //ALTERVOL JOB  ...
  //STEP1EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
  //SYSPRINT DD   SYSOUT=A
  //SYSINDD   *
   ALTER VAL0001 -
 VOLUMEENTRY -
 SATTR(RDCOMPAT)
  /*
 or  ALTER 'Vvolser' VOLENT SATTR(RDCOMPAT) TSO command.
 For DFSMS releases below R1F0, verify that you have the fix
 for APAR OW41005 as it corrects a problem with this ALTER
 command.
 .
 See section below on Other 3590B to E migration issues:
 .
  3) For new installs or upgrade of existing drives:
 - Verify device type is correct in displays resulting from
 the following commands:
 .
  LI DD,name:
  example output: CBR1220I Tape drive status:
  DRIVE  DEVICE   LIBRARY  ON  OFFREASN  LM  ICL ICL   MOUNT
  NUMTYPE NAME LI OP PT  AV  CATEGRY LOAD  VOLUME

That happened to us with a CICS V2.2 system.  It was using the old
master console ID.  The CICS system programmer changed to a legitimate

I think that the tracking report should say what console ID it was
trying to use. If that console ID was formerly the master console, then
that would explain why it no longer has the same authority.

Subject: UNIT NOT JES3 Dataset attributes change upon open

What does UNIT NOT JES3 say about dataset allocation and formatting?

I am trying to understand why a started-task seems to change the
attributes of a dataset when it opens.

The dataset is allocated:

SPACE=(CYL,(3,1),RLSE),  
DCB=(LRECL=0,DSORG=PS,RECFM=U,BLKSIZE=32000) 

But when the program opens, it seems to change to:

Organization  . . . :   PS   
Record format . . . :   FB  
Record length . . . :   80
Block size  . . . . :   6080

Could the following message on the job's output have anything to do with
the case?

10:43:23 IAT4401  LOCATE FOR STEP=xx  DD=ddname DSN=dsn-name
10:43:23 IAT4402 UNIT=3390,VOL(S)  N/A: UNIT NOT JES3

Re: ILR006E COMMON PAGE DATA SET FULL, OVERFLOWING TO PLPA DATA SET

2007-03-02 Thread Tergerson, John
Allan,

Rob Scott's answer is probably what is happening to you.

As an example, we just went through the same sort of problem.  A vendor
monitor was issuing getmain for some function, and never issuing
freemain when finished with the storage.  It built up over time to the
point that the monitor had used a very large percentage of the page
space.

The vendor had a fix for a known problem, and, after applying the fix,
we have not seen the storage leak again.

snip

You either have not enough local page datasets for your workload or
there are one or more address spaces that are chewing up your auxiliary
storage.

Coupled with that you are dangerously close to full on your common page
dataset.

Plan of action :

(1) Increase size of common page dataset (I would double the size)
(2) Find out if you have some greedy address spaces that are using up
all of your local page datasets
(a) RMF Monitor III can tell you this - see the STORF report
(b) If you don't have RMF III running - there are some freeware
tools that can help (MXI for example from www.rs.com)
(3) If (2) proves that there are no obvious problems - allocate some
more page datasets and PAGEADD them or IPL (remember to update the
IEASYSxx member)

  Is there a way to create these dll files.

I mentioned this to our sysprogs, who said my job was the only one to

and found that about 34% of our flushed steps are showing the elapsed
wall-clock time of almost 24 hours, and I've found another 10,809

I'm not sure if this site has modified the exit which produces this

Apparenttly, they can finding nothing on teh IBM database for anything

Can anyone give me any clues as to where I could look to invesitigate
