Re: TSO on z/OS 1.12 with LOGONHERE and multisystem logon
Hi Jon,
To address the Console issue here, we force the SDSF variables on the way in
with this code:
sysname = mvsvar('SYMDEF','SYSNAME')
isfcons = userid()||RIGHT(sysname,1)
isfsysid = sysname
Address ISPEXEC
VPUT (ISFCONS ISFSYSID)
SELECT PGM(ISFISP) PARM(option)
Of course it might need tinkering to guarantee uniqueness, and we also have
code in system automation to avoid conflict there.
Best regards,

John,
SDSF will set the CONSOLE to the userid by default, which is not a
problem unless you issue commands. Command responses will be written to
the console that first established the id, so if you logon to SYSA, then
SYSB, and issue a command from SDSF on SYSB, the response will appear in
SDSF on SYSA. Issue the SET CONSOLE command on SYSB to set a unique
console. Unfortunately SDSF will save that value into the SDSF ISPF
profile, so you have the same problem the next time you use multiple
logon and SDSF. They're still working on an enhancement. Maybe next
release (we can only hope). If you're a SHARE member, grab the Bit
Bucket presentation from Orlando to see my presentation on correctly
setting up multiple logon.

Re: How to find out DFHSM intentions ?
Hi,
I don't think there is an out dataset option for QUERY. In
SYS1.SAMPLIB(ARCTOOLS) there is a queryset REXX which returns the output
to TSO via extended console processing.
We basically use a version of QUERYSET to get HSM output back to TSO,
and then we have other routines that issue any TSO command to trap the
output back to a browse or edit window (from where we can create a
dataset of course). But you could also just update QUERYSET to write to
a dataset.

Re: IPLTEXT and NUCLEUS dates
Hi, We have our sandbox system where we run SMP/E - and it's the only system where SMP/E is installed. We do choose to apply maintenance on this running system in general (yes - we know that this may not be the recommended approach). It's a bit theoretical, but should someone manage to apply an RSU, and for some reason not have reviewed/understood the holddata correctly, then we IPL that system to test the maintenance (and because it is officially 'unstable' between maintenance application and IPL). That is the IPL that could put us in a wait state. However in our case we would be able to create the IPL text appropriately from another system in this particular event (that is why I say it is not such a risk for us). I would prefer the system to issue a warning message + logrec - best of all a WTO prompt saying the system will struggle on, but at extreme risk and no applications should be started until the system is reIPLed correctly. I fear this might start off some other discussion, and I know the scope and impact and risk is totally different, but when I get a Windows message saying I must reboot my workstation or the system may become unstable, I carry on working, and I've never had cause to regret that approach. As I said - it doesn't particularly affect us, but for some it might be possible that they can't run the ICKDSF job appropriately - and by artificially ensuring that the system won't come up in any shape, you are removing one potential capability of an environment to run that one job in certain system configurations. And the reason I triggered was because I don't like the reason to protect IBM in this context. I supppose it is also like instances where customers might choose to run unsupported, but a vendor puts a block in the product to stop it running after EOS date, even though it might technically otherwise still work for a customers needs.

Re: IPLTEXT and NUCLEUS dates
It is true that there is some exposure in our maintenance strategy. However we always have multiple versions of our cloned sysres availabe to IPL from, and we do have a backup strategy to get back to the pre-maintenance level. That's why I keep saying the wait state itself is not really an issue for us. My issue is a potentially unnecessary wait state for a reason of vendor comfort as opposed to other strategies (e.g. strongly worded WTO) which seems a little less artificial to me if we're talking about maximising vendor convenience. And I do write solely from the customer perspective. I admit(ted) the workstation analogy to be a different scope/impact, although we are looking at the autoipl statement to be our restart button...

ISPF: How best to change ISPSPROF variables programmatically (was ISPF: How best to change user variable ZRETMINL in ISPSPROF)
Hi, I was actually hoping to see a response to something more similar to Mark's interpretation. In particular I wanted a programmatic (REXX) way to (re)set the tab to point and shoot fields on the way in to TSO/ISPF. This in particular because MXI turns it on, but of course if you time out, it is left in that state (MXI does clean it up on the way out normally). The variable is ZTPS (values 'N' or 'Y').

Re: ICHRDSNT
Interesting. We have not actually tested this approach yet.

We're looking at trying to test this out ... It is not the name of the RACF database that we are concerned with, but the sysplex communication/datasharing bits. Our first DR IPL does not come up with full sysplex capability, so we are applying the RACF system programmer's guide 1.10 section 3.1.1.5 Sysplex considerations consideration about an emergency ICHRDSNT (apart from that we think we do not need to specifify an alternate DB name for out particular need).

John Eells reminded me of the configuration where this works. As long as there is an ICHRDSNT -somewhere- in the LINKLIST, then the BLDL will succeed.

Re: Defrag
Oh dear - I feel a bit guilty just trying to answer the original question, but anyway here's how we do it. We use the tools System Automation and MXI in the process, and what we do is at every JES2 shutdown (i.e. pre-IPL shutdown as far as intent goes, and our IPLs are monthly), we run an SA REXX exec which builds and issues a string of start commands for a defrag proc sub=mstr (by parsing MXI output, which includes storage group). The started proc builds the Defrag input stream per instance (more REXX) (in particular excludes a few datasets (TWS and JES2 related)). As these jobs run at the end of the shutdown process, most subsystems are down, so fewer datasets are in use, and a more through effect. Within a sysplex, of course the effect would be diluted - we have code to focus on image-specific volumes where we can. We have a number of images that are not in a sysplex (at least as volume sharing goes) which is where the process was originally implemented, and is most effective. It adds a little to shutdown time, but for us that is OK. The output is saved in datasets, although we have never had a problem with this process yet. The process is home-grown and REXX heavy I'm afraid.

Hi Bob, The PROPLIST that are available are documented in the z/OS 1.10 manual section 2.14. There is no modification bar for the Command.PREFIX.AddGenChar, so I guess it applies to 1.9 as well. This is only for the prefix command, not the extension to H and ST that the APAR mentions (and I hadn't realised when I replied before).

Re: strange codepage issue in ISPF
Thanks for the earlier correction on my language - I am indeed English. Explains why I couldn't reconcile the hex. I work for an American company as well, so I should have been more aware. Anyway for the original problem, look at what has happened in your ISPF terminal type (under Menu;settings). For me if I set T3278A, the the sqare brackets display fine - my normal setting of T3277 displays them badly (in such a way that some screens might suppress). As well as those two, you could try SW500 to see if it makes a difference. You could post what your terminal type is set to to help.

Re: strange codepage issue in ISPF
I believe that x'4D' and x'5D' are the CP1047 standard brackets. (x'AD' and x'BD' are square brackets). I looked on http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pcomhelp/v5r9/index.jsp?topic=/ com.ibm.pcomm.doc/reference/html/hcp_reference27.htm which seems to confirm that. I changed my code page in Extra! to 1047 (was 0037) - the exec confirmed ISPF had taken the switch, and in ISPF, my standard parentheses did show as x'4D' and '5D'(when I switched back to 0037, the x'AD' and x'BD' did not show as square brackets any more.

Re: PDSE question - while discussing checkered history
Hi, We do already use indirect cataloging, but we do want VSAM (and also the catalog) on the volume itself, and don't want to change our whole longstanding set-up because DFDSS can't cope with PDSE satisfactorily. Copying the PDSEs first does seem a less intrusive way to handle IBM's problem.

GRS CNS policy
Hi all, I've just noticed the ability to position the GRS contention notification in a GRS star (OA11382). I did notice that the reasoning for the ability to do this is to better balance workload in a sysplex, but can't find any recommendations as to the positioning. We are running sysplex mostly as a DB2 server, but not particularly as a load balancer, so do have busier systems than others. We run many DB2 systems per image. We have also had CPU contention problems, where GRS appears high in the mix (together with DB2 systems). My 2 questions are: 1) does anyone have a policy on GRS CNS positioning in their sysplex (and if so what is it and why)? 2) otherwise does anyone have any opinion on whether it might make sense to position CNS in either the busiest or the quietest system in the sysplex (the former on the basis of reduced traffic, the latter on better CPU allocation)?

Re: PDSE question - while discussing checkered history
Hi Mark, Sorry - I missed that. Interesting that it tends to mention the source dataset allocation rather than the target. It certainly offers an explanation of why the dataset might increase in allocated extents. But in our case it appears to release the secondary allocation - the end result is an allocation exactly the same. I would have expected the dataset extent to be kept, even if it doesn't contain data.

PDSE question - while discussing checkered history
Hi, Amongst the current discussion of PDSE, I have a curious problem that I wondered if anyone could explain. I do a logical copy of our SYSRES volume to a new volume, but get the following messages for SYS1.SCUNTBL - a large PDSE: ADR717E (003)-FMSG (02), SYSTEM SERVICES ERROR OCCURRED WHILE COPYING DATA SET SYS1.SCUNTBL IN CATALOG CATALOG.MASTER.S1. RETURN INFORMATION IS 001-00-12-00173 AND MESSAGES FOLLOW: IGW01172T OUT OF SPACE CONDITION ENCOUNTERED DURING MEMBER CREATE PROCESSING FOR MEMBER CUNRMHB8, WITH REASON CODE = X'0E37' IGW01173S UNEXPECTED RESULTS FROM AN SMSX SERVICE. RETURN CODE WAS 20 AND REASON CODE WAS X'050BC005' IGW01550I 8537 OF 10525 MEMBERS WERE COPIED The dataset itself is PDSE, and shows as 9977 members (the rest of the 10525 are aliases), 98% full, one extent (even though secondary is defined). The volume may not have had enough space to extend that particular dataset. I freed up space (from other datasets) and reran the job, and all was fine. After the activity the 'new' dataset was exactly the same size / %full - no secondary extent was taken. Can anyone explain why the 'spare' disk space might be needed for a volume to volume copy if it is not going to be allocated by the end of the event? Given we do this cloning every month, and the volume is always near-full, it is a bit inconvenient.

Re: PDSE question - while discussing checkered history
Hi Mark Thanks for the reply. These are newly initialised empty volumes. We do the logical copy because we up-sequence the volume id, and build a new catalog (with the volume id in the name) as we go. Doing the large PDSEs first is a good idea though in terms of getting around the problem, although I still don't understand why 'spare' space is needed.

Check out doc apar OW42335. Perhaps init the tgt volume first, copy the PDSE data set(s) first, then the rest in a second step excluding the PDSEs. I do a physical copy for a clone, not logical... so I would never have that problem.

At least one is a large DB2 system, although running SAP on DB2, so no 'creative' DB2 programming. Only problems we had that might have resembled this (and I think we did have some reason to look at this area) are when we went back from CICS 3.2 to CICS 2.2 without an initial start, also problems when CA-ENF was not working fully. Also make sure you have updated your CSD with the latest definitions for DB2 and CEE.

ESQA allocation question
Hello, I've seen earlier items about Healthchecker and its ESQA checking, but I have a general question to which I haven't been able to find the information in the manuals. Given that ESQA will just overflow into ECSA is there any real reason not to allocate ESQA fairly low so that it is always at 100%, and then size/monitor ECSA for the combined requirements? I am aware that that would not be a good thing below the line, but I haven't read of any clear reason to 'tune' ESQA rather than ESQA/ECSA as a combined area.

Re: ESQA allocation question
Hi all, Thanks for the responses and pointer to Kathy's White Paper. It is true that we have INITSQA coded, and that was for IPL failures which we thought were related to additions/changes to the storage configuration. However it did seem that INITSQA did not actually help much - just the action of a second IPL was enough to avoid the shortage then, and anyway that is due to requirements before the IEASYS parameter is handled by the system. I say that because we have had failures even with INITSQA coded, and reIPLing without changes appears to resolve things. These were new systems - we haven't actually had the failures that recently, so I hope my memory isn't tricking me. As far as I understand from the White Paper, as long as you can comfortably support an IPL, there is no real reason to worry about ESQA filling and overflowing during the life of the system. She does mention that some installations do follow a policy of minimal allocation (though she doesn't recommend this). I think my likely conclusion is to check our systems needs after they are fully IPLed, and aim to cover that comfortably, but not to tune for the Healthchecker 80% recommendation. Ideally we would not have any spare ESQA by the next IPL, allowing us to manage ECSA and ESQA as a combined pool.
