Well, hindsight being 20-20, it is obvious management within IBM has done both some incredibly smart, and incredibly dumb moves over the past 30 yrs. or so. I know every time I applied for a job, I always wanted to work on a part time basis, because I just didn't want that feeling of security everyone has to some degree when they take permanent full-time employment. And every time I have worked on a part time job, when an offer came along for a full time position, I always turned it down. Mostly because I felt loyalty to the current employer for offering me the part-time, temporary position instead of making me take full-time employment. And for sure, we all know software development is much easier when you don't have the previous developers around to just clutter things up when you are spending all that time going thru the code to try to figure out why this or that function is coded the way it is.

I'm writing an assembler program that invokes SORT using LINK. There are E15 and E35 exits to handle records going in and out of the sort, but it keeps abending with S0C4 and sometimes S0C1, depending on whether the exit routines are half or fullword aligned :( To eliminate other possible causes I created the following very simple program where the E15 exit returns RC=16 to tell SORT just to terminate without doing anything. But it also abends in the same way. The PSW seems to point at an unrelated ISPF module in the LPA, but I haven't investigated that further. This is the code: TEST60 CSECT TEST60 AMODE 31 TEST60 RMODE ANY SAVE (14,12) LR12,15 USING TEST60,12 LA11,SAVEAREA ST11,8(,13) ST13,4(,11) LR13,11 LA1,SORTPARM LINK EP=SORT L 13,4(,13) ST15,16(,13) LM14,12,12(13) BR14 DS0F SAVEAREA DS18F SORTPARM DCA(SORTSTMT) DCA(E15_EXIT) DCA(E35_EXIT) DCF'-1' SORTSTMT DCAL2(SORTEND-SORT) SORT DCC' SORT FIELDS=(1,1,CH,A)' DCC' RECORD TYPE=F,LENGTH=80' SORTEND EQU * E15_EXIT DS0F LA15,16Terminate SORT BR14 E35_EXIT DS0F LA15,8 BR14 END TEST60 It can't be more simple than this, like any piece of Hello World code.

Re: z/OS 1.13 - Can the root file system be shared as read/write?
Yes, it CAN be shared R/W but it SHOULDN'T be shared R/W. You will find that any R/W zFS will end up having garbage written to it. Also, any zFS that contains vendor-distributed executables should be in a R/O zFS for security and reliability.

Re: z/OS 1.13 - Can the root file system be shared as read/write?
We used to have the root mounted R/W and after it got filled up by uneducated users putting files in it we decided to clean it up and make it R/O. It took the 'fall back' weekend to give us the time to be able to move all of the c**p out of the root on our production systems.

Was at a shop with many sysprogs (CICS/DB2/MVS) that had SU auth and ended up creating a lot more than just mountpoints in the sysplex root. Eventually the sysplex root had a space issue and cleanup needed to be done. This was before the newroot support was added to z/OS (but doing the cleanup was the right thing to do anyway). Jon's post reminded me that while the original design / instructions may have had the sysplex root mounted as R/W, not all the sysplexes I support have it that way now. Some of them mount it as R/O and it gets changed to R/W if needed to create a new mount point if needed. That is rare due to standards that are in place and it keeps the junk from getting put in there.

for each platform we put a path statement with the platform name in it:
/CICS/platform1
/CICS/platform2
We create a directory /CICS/
Then we create symbolic links in that directory for each platform that points
to the CICS release to use for that platform
/CICS/platform1 /CICSVxRy
/CICS/platform2 /CICSVqRz
We mount the zFSes for each release on a different directory
/CICSVxRy has CICS.VxRy.ZFS
/CICSVqRz has CICS.VqRz.ZFS
When we want to change the release we only have to change the directory that
the symbolic link points to.
If you want to discuss you can contact me off list.
Thanks,
Jon

Subject: HFS sharing and rolling product upgrades
Hello,
How do you gradually roll changes to CICS, MQ and DB2 versions that
change these products' HFS dataset one system at a time?
We currently share our BPXPRMxx member between two LPARs running in
Sysplex with SYSPLEX(YES).
Our CICS guys want to upgrade the CICS version one LPAR at a time (a
reasonable request), and that means that they want to change the CICS
HFS pointed to by the
/usr/lpp/cicsts/cicsts32 mount point, but only on one system.
In other words they want to do something like this:
BPXPRMxx:
MOUNT FILESYSTEM('OMVS.CICSVER.CICS32')
MOUNTPOINT('/usr/lpp/cicsts/cicsts32')
TYPE(HFS) MODE(READ) AUTOMOVE(INCLUDE,*)
Where CICSVER resolves to RSU1109 on SY1 LPAR and to RSU1110 on SY2
LPAR.
I don't think this is possible, but I do want to provide them the
option to roll the change one LPAR at a time, prefferably without
making changes to CICS.
Is there a way where we can support that?
Regards,
Nofar Spalter
Have you looked at considered: Mounting file systems using symbolic links?
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/bpxzb2b0/7.14
The commands to use would be something like:
cd /usr/lpp/cicsts
mkdir RSU1109
mkdir RSU1101
ln -s '$SYSSYMR/CICSVER' cicsts32
Now, I don't use UNIX sysplex filesystem sharing, but I think you could do a
mount similar to:
MOUNT FILESYSTEM('OMVS.CICSVER.CICS32')
MOUNTPOINT('/usr/lpp/cicsts/CICSVER.')
TYPE(HFS) MODE(READ) AUTOMOVE(INCLUDE,*)
Question: Is a period missing? Wouldn't you need 'OMVS.CICSVER..CICS32' ???
Or was it a typo on your part?

Re: USS - file can't be deleted.
Chris, Get over yourself. Most of the folks on this list know exactly what the question was about and most of the folks I know are aware that USS is also used to denote UNIX System Services, despite your objections. There is no good reason to keep arguing over this and it is a waste of everybody's time.

Mr Zelden Since you take it upon your arrogant self to accuse others of not being professional - in public so I claim the right to reply in public - let us examine *your* right to claim to be professional. The business you are in requires a certain amount of nous evidence of which on your case is in short supply according to this response. Is this meant to be a joke? I didn't see the smiley. Indeed, it is so very clearly an ironic contribution - as may be appreciated eventually - but with serious intent. It really should not be necessary to paste a smiley whenever a response is not wholly serious. Normally an explanation mark should be sufficient but I didn't want to detract from the serious point here which is to emphasise the contextual aspect. By not flagging this up too obviously as an ironic contribution I obliged the extra keystroke of checking what my reference was - and sorry Internet for the additional load I have induced you to have to bear! Some time ago there was a regular contributor to this - and a number of other - lists by the name of Patrick O'Keefe. If you've been following discussions on this topic over the years, Patrick complained - bitterly I could add - that he was - *professionally* one could say - obliged to pay attention to any post where the *subject* contained the dread three letters since, unless obviously the usual misuse at the level of the subject - by no means always the case - he may have been able to offer some assistance. This case, USS - file can't be deleted., *could* have involved a VTAM Unformatted System Services table file which, as is actually well known by those who have had to play with this entity, needs some improbable incantations to have its presence removed and these are described in the reference I gave. Furthermore Matan really should have known better since I have had to deal with some of his problems involving VTAM in the past. Thus he knows what the three dread letters really should be and he really could - allowing for not always having language which is that precise in subject lines - have been referring to something relating to the proper use. Of course, when I took a look into the post, the context was clear but I - and any others like myself who relate more to the SNA-oriented TELNET server and VTAM use - would already have been obliged to take the plunge and peruse a post of absolutely no interest whatsoever at all. Thus all those who actually checked on my reference will know of what I speak! What does that have to do with a full /tmp file system? How the several unprofessional expletives deleted was I supposed to be able to be sure from the subject? And why is all the prior context removed? Note first of all that an unprofessionally missing question mark has been added. Only a Homer Simpson could not have noticed that exactly the prior context was very clearly present! Duh! If this is an attempt to start another acronym war, it's a waste of everyone's time and bandwidth and very unprofessional. It was to make a point and I believe it has been made. Furthermore as far as I am concerned and anyone actually capable of the logic one might expect from someone claiming to be a professional in this business where logical thinking does tend to be a professional requirement, giving the false impression that the dread three letters apply where they do not is of particular concern where there are fresh entrants to the business where responsibility may well be given - as I have actually noted from a couple of posts over the last few months - for the maintenance - evidently without adequate introduction to existing definitions - of Communications Server. Just think about it and ponder who is professional and who is definitely not - whether or not from within IBM or without.

Subject: Re: Dumps with no useful memory
I assume by option 4 you mean the Dump Inventory (which is option 6
here).
yes, I did. What MVS release are you running on?!? It has been ages since the
dump inventory was option 6!
The LD command showed that only ASIDs 1 and 154 were dumped. The cbf
command showed that trace data was to be dumped but systrace
produced:
BLS17541I No address spaces with the ERROR attribute were found
ERROR OBTAINING TRVT/01 AT 00FF7C98 RC = 04.
ERROR OBTAINING TTCH/05 AT 7FF5F000 RC = 04.
SYSTEM TRACE PROCESSING IS TERMINATED.
since neither of the locations are in the dump. Further suggestions are
very welcome!
IPCS default is to show address spaces with the error attribute. You need to
either setdef to asid 154 or specify that asid on every command:
systrace asid(x'154') (assuming the value is hex).
I have a sneaking suspicion that that won't produce anything useful, either,
as the trace vector table wasn't dumped. And that address is in common storage.
Are you sure that the dump was complete?
Is this really an sdump or are we dealing with an sysmdump here?

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.

From my informal poll, the vast majority of z/OS sysprogs agree with Jim. They are not against change. It has been their job to implement change. However, the change had to be non-disruptive to business. The migration from PCP in 60's, to MFT, to MVT, etc. to z/OS today was 50 years of incremental change. A sudden change from PCP to z/OS would not have been acceptable. In similar fashion, there needs to be an non-disruptive incremental migration from the ETR UI to the SR UI (hopefully in less than 50 years).

My comment to this is: So what if it handles 5 times the request volume if it is unusable by us who have used ETR for years both on the old Green Screen and now as a PC based tool. At least the PC Base ETR looks and feels like the Green Screen in most respects. I will again state, make SR look and feel like ETR or you are wasting your effort.

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. I posted links in another thread that may be of help, including my presentation to SHARE this past August. I am reposting them here as well.

Re: Default REGION Size
It would be great if IEFUSI limits could be externalized into PARMLIB. It is a pain to have to recode an assembler exit whenever we need to change how we handle these limits. Not to mention that there are not a lot of us left who know how to code in assembler. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Mark Zelden Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2011 12:57 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Default REGION Size On Wed, 9 Feb 2011 12:28:36 -0500, Haynes, Stan stan.hay...@cra-arc.gc.ca wrote: The issue with how much *low* private to allow is ensuring RTM can successfully GETMAIN, so I'm wondering: if we change the default to 128M, or 192M, etc, do we need to subtract some vstor for the low private ?

Re: LINKLIB in use
You are not too paranoid. That is good practice.

Ewing Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2011 11:17 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: LINKLIB in use As others have mentioned LNKLST UPDATE JOB(*) is required to get all old address spaces to switch to a newly activated lnklst and free up all prior usage of LNKLST00, but if you search past threads on this topic on ibm-main you will find that at least in the past this has involved some element of risk, depending on what library has been changed and how it is being used by the address space; so the best time to do this may be after making corresponding changes to PROGxx just before a scheduled IPL. The ACTIVATE by itself only causes address spaces created in the future to use the new LNKLST definition - existing address spaces by default continue to use the same LNKLSTxx that they were using before the ACTIVATE. Maybe I am overly paranoid, but I would never delete a dynamically removed lnklist library within the same IPL. Once it is freed, just rename it and by some means insure it is not eligible for migration or other movement, just in case there is still some control block somewhere left pointing to the old extents.
