I didn't even know that it is possible to establish PPRC pairs in the same
control unit, always thought SSIDs (control units) have to be different.
The PPRC license for HDS subsystems is also based on capacity, as far as I
know. Everytime I had no more PPRC capacity available I got some weird
ANTPmessage, but I would say it was different from what you have got. Now , it
could also depend of the HDS subsystem that you have. Anyway, what is the
capacity of your 208 volumes (or, if these are 208 volume pairs and all in the
same subsystem, you would need the capacity of both all primary and secondary
volumes) and check the licensed capacity with the storage navigator (or let the
support person do that).
If you want to check the PPRC messages, set msgid in TSO profile to get message
ids and look into MVS System Messages
Volume 1 (ABA - AOM) under ANTP (PPRC ANT) messages, although they can be often
misleading (at least when you have some atypical problems on HDS subsystems).

Comparing datasets
Is there z/OS (ISPF) tool that can check if all lines of dataset A are contained in dataset B? In other words, is there a tool that could check if dataset A is a subset of dataset B, where A and B are sets of records (lines)? I can accomplish it using COMPARE ISPF edit function or SuperC Compare Utility, but datasets have to be sorted. Example: dataset A content: C1 B1 A1 dataset B content: A1 B1 C1 Result of editing A and comparing it to B: .O C1 .OAAAB B1 03 A1 == B1 == C1 Result of editing B and comparing it to A: .O A1 .OAAAB B1 03 C1 == B1 == A1 Background: I wanted to check if all cross product dependency PTFs of product A are already applied in product B. I generated two datasets, A and B respectively, and compared them in ISPF editor using COMPARE function. I was surprised with result so I read the tutorial looking for any parameter that could influence this behaviour, but haven't found any. There were no porblems to sort both datasets in this case, I am just curious.

We have done quite a lot of DR testing in the last year and a half. We defined all coupling facilities in our active CFRM policy, the same way Alan C. Field described, and never had a problem IPLing our sysplex. The only difference is that we start JES2 with RECONFIG parameter, to set the CKPT1 (allocated in a coupling facility) to INUSE=NO, so that the CKPT2 will be used. Never had any problems going back either. With applications it is not so easy, but starting a sysplex is just a routine.

Coupling Facility Time and TD103077
Last weekend we had daylight saving time change, going from CET to CEST (i.e. our time zone was CET -- UTC+1, now CEST -- UTC+2). We are STP-only CTN, total of 3 z10, CTS = PTS = CEC dedicated to coupling facilities Coupling Facilities are spread over all three CECs. As I read Coupling Facility - TIMEZ Command during Daylight Saving Time Changes (http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/TD103077) I decided to looked at the time in our coupling facilities. All our coupling facilities are either CFLEVEL:16 CFCC RELEASE 16.00, SERVICE LEVEL 02.18 or CFLEVEL:16 CFCC RELEASE 16.00, SERVICE LEVEL 02.22 The time zones in the CFs are a) 01:00 West of Greenwich Mean Time (giving CEST-3) b) 02:00 West of Greenwich Mean Time (giving CEST-4) c) Greenwich Mean Time (giving CEST-00:55:27) Now the case c) happens on the CEC with standalone CFs (production only), I believe they were never deactivated since we got this CEC. Before playing around with timezone CF command I tried the other possibility from the techdoc above: I deactivated a test sysplex CF that had case a) only to get the case b) after activating it again. Something I have not expected, based on my understanding of the techdoc. I have a few questions: 1. Has anyone seen this behavior? 2. If yes how did you solve the problem - actually I cannot use the timezone command to correct the problem in case c). 3. What is the importance of the (right) time in a CF? We have system managed duplexing, but I havent seen any problems based on time discrepancy till now (I am not saying there were none, just that I havent recognize them as such).

osa-icc big screen response times
Hello! Playing with the dynamic screen size(s) and customizing my PCOMM sessions I tried to establish a connection to OSA-ICC and open an MVS console session as model 5 (ScreenSize=27x132). It worked without problems and it was my understanding that the screen size defined in the PCOMM configuration file was taken. After that I tried with ScreenSize=62x160 just to see if it works. It did but the session became quite slow. So now I am playing with different screen sizes, currently using ScreenSize=43x121. These different response times raise a few questions: - what could be the reason, OSA-ICC capacity or OSA-ICC throughput or network or console address space - are there any parameters to tune these response times - are there any side effects possible on other sessions to the same OSA-ICC Anyone having some experience with this or an explanation?

Change LPAR Security task doesn't reflect profiles' content
Hi! We use the Change LPAR Security task (under CPC Operational Customization in a Single Object Operation) to display and modify security controls for all LPARs on a single CPC. We encountered the following problem: if we take away Input/Output Configuration Control from some LPARs and then save the changes to profiles, the activation profiles are updated, but not the display in the Change LPAR Security task (at least, not for the inactive LPARs). So, there is no way for us to check if all security definitions are already applied. The only way is to open each LPAR activation profile and look in the security submenu. In other words, the panel does not reflect the content of activation profiles and using it as a basis for further changes could lead to unwanted authorities in some LPARs. Has someone faced this situation and, if yes, what was your answer to the problem?

It turns out that the ASM code which decides whether to create two sets of I/O control blocks for a page data set was not updated for HyperPAV (an oversight on our part). It checks to see if you specified WLM PAV when you defined the device in HCD. Since WLM doesn't need to manage PAVs when the control unit has been told to use HyperPAV mode, our intention was that the specification of WLM PAV in HCD would be irrelevant for HyperPAV devices.

Gil, COND=(0,LE) is always true, so any step with COND=(0,LE) will always be skipped. COND codes can only be positive, so zero is always LE any possible COND code. Not entirely correct, IIRC. If the step is the first step in the job it will not be skipped. This is mathematically correct (however irritating) in that no prior step satisfies the boolean primary and the logical OR of no operands yields FALSE. If you want to skip the first step why not use the RESTART parameter, you want to do it *unconditionally* any way. The only problem is you can not specify a step in an nested procedure (g).
