Re: EXCP Counts in SMF Exit

2013-12-13 Thread Skip Robinson
Aha. We may be on to something. The problem step in the problem job 
executes IBM 'high performance unload' utility PGM=INZUTILB. The step 
unloads/backs up a large DB2 data base. The job has almost two dozen 
steps, but we're focused on this one in particular. It's the only step in 
the job that has no device stats in job messages.

A triplet consists of a 32-bit offset into the record, a 16-bit length, 
and a 16-bit repetition count. For DB2 it gets *really* complicated, but 
for Type 30, it should be fairly simple. Perhaps your repetition count is 
more than one? If so, there will be another data section at the end of the 
first one, that is, at record+displacement+length. I read the doc as 
saying there may be more than one section, that is, SMF30EON might be 
non-zero and greater than one. You may need a loop on SMF30EON.

Let me know if you want more detail.

Sure - bad idea. The more disparate the workloads, the badderer an idea it is.

We probably all do it, and generally get away with it. Or at least not properly 
understand the consequences, so blithely go on our way.
For transaction managed CICS regions less of an issue, but still I have a 
philosophical aversion to mixing like that. Unless you have a ridiculous number

Does your IEFACTRT deal with continuation type 30-4 records?  From the 
Installation Exits book:

"When the data for an SMF record exceeds 32,756 bytes in length, the 
system 
constructs one or more "continuation" or "additional" records to ensure 
that no 
individual record exceeds that length. The system invokes IEFACTRT once 
for the 
original record and once for each continuation record."

(When the exit is called with a continuation record, SMF30TON is zero.)

The whoami command displays a username associated with the effective user ID, 
unlike the who am icommand which displays the login name.

For example, if you login as 'user1' but then you use the su command to change

command returned who am I user1 whoami user2
For more information about the whoami command, see the whoami command

DB2 is just along for the ride.

My suggestion (since transaction goals are in use) is to experiment w/DB2 
in a separate service class.

BTW, are you using goals for DDF workloads?


Scenario is, I am working with a policy where the DB2 address spaces 
(aside from IRLM) are running in the same service class as the CICS region 
tasks. The caveat is CICS is running as a server with transaction goal 
management.

As I understand it WLM sampling will establish for lack of a better term 
"patterns of behavior"  of a service class to better help in its 
adjustment logic. CICS behaves like  CICS and DB2 like DB2.

ITYM "running Cobol on a zIIP", not "Cobol SRBs".

You have to understand a little about software pricing.  When IBM started to 
charge for MVS, it seemed to make sense to charge more for a bigger processor.  
The general idea was that the software charges would be almost twice as much on 
a processor that is twice as fast.  Actually, the idea was that a small shop 
shouldn't have to pay as much as a big one.  After a while, there were no more 
of the smallest model group processors available.  IIRC, the pricing was never 
linear, but not terribly far from it.  In those days a big computer would run 
at about 4 MIPS and you could license MVS on a smaller processor for about 
$2000 per month.

With the latest mainframes approaching 80,000 MIPS, the price of the operating 
system is many times higher than it was 30 years ago.  It is not uncommon to 
pay hundreds of thousands of dollars per month for MVS.  The result has been 
that other operating systems are considered to be preferable in any case where 
the other operating system seems to be adequate for the purpose.

Consequently, new workloads are rarely deployed on MVS.  This has been true for 
a long time despite the fact that many of these new workloads could run just 
fine on MVS, and benefit from the strengths of MVS and the mainframe.  And even 
arguably be less expensive to run on MVS.  While the use of computers has 
increased at an amazing rate over the last few decades, the installed base of 
MVS systems has not kept pace, and has instead declined.  Actual numbers are 
hard to come by, but we all know sites that were once MVS sites that now use 
other systems instead.  Does anyone know of any new MVS sites?

As processors continued to get faster, the pricing structures were revised 
several times.  Parallel Sysplex pricing was the first clue that I saw that IBM 
recognized that software pricing was an issue.  In fact, the talk about the 
mainframe being expensive is really about software pricing.

With z/Architecture machines, IBM started to offer a "technology dividend" in 
the form of a relatively modest discount for the software charges on the newer 
processors.  This was done by adjusting the MSU rating, so that a new computer 
that would run a given workload using the same amount of resources as the 
previous generation would have an MSU rating that was maybe 10% less than the 
equivalent processor of the previous generation.

Since software charges are now based upon the MSU capacity, this reduced the 
charge for running a given workload on the newer processor.  However, the newer 
generation of processor would top out at maybe 50% more capacity than the 
previous generation, so the potential cost of running z/OS continued to rise.  
One consequence of the software pricing problem is that for most of the models 
of z/Architecture systems, the processors have been deliberately slowed down, 
allowing customers to acquire mainframes with a capacity that is closer to 
their actual needs.  As a result, often there is no spare capacity for new 
workloads..

zIIP and zAAP processors were introduced to allow customers to exploit new 
system facilities that require additional processing power without having to 
incur additional costs for the software.  This was done by providing zIIP and 
zAAP processors that could run only certain kinds of work, and that would not 
count when calculating the compute power of the complex.  Therefore, adding 
zIIP and/or zAAP processors doesn't increase the software charges for the 
complex.

zIIP and zAAP processors are a short term solution for the problem of 
increasing software charges.  The result of the increasing software charges is 
that customers minimize the use of the mainframe, and have been doing so for 
decades.  One way of doing that is to move workload from MVS to other 
platforms.  The other way is to deploy new workloads on other systems, without 
even considering the mainframe as a possible place to run them.

In other words, as the size of the data center grows to accommodate more 
applications, the non-MVS hardware grows at a considerably higher rate than the 
MVS related hardware.  Even in shops where no applications have moved off of 
MVS, the percentage of the workload that could run on MVS that does in fact run 
on MVS is decreasing.

Re: WLM Mixed Workload

As far as I can tell, the DP of the CICS address spaces will float depending on 
the "loved ones".
DB2 is just along for the ride.

My suggestion (since transaction goals are in use) is to experiment w/DB2 in a 
separate service class.

BTW, are you using goals for DDF workloads?


Scenario is, I am working with a policy where the DB2 address spaces (aside 
from IRLM) are running in the same service class as the CICS region tasks. The 
caveat is CICS is running as a server with transaction goal management.

As I understand it WLM sampling will establish for lack of a better term 
"patterns of behavior"  of a service class to better help in its adjustment 
logic. CICS behaves like  CICS and DB2 like DB2.

WLM Mixed Workload

2013-12-13 Thread Bob Morrison
I have a "what do you think" question I would like to ask concerning mixing 
workload types into a single service class.

Scenario is, I am working with a policy where the DB2 address spaces (aside 
from IRLM) are running in the same service class as the CICS region tasks. The 
caveat is CICS is running as a server with transaction goal management.

As I understand it WLM sampling will establish for lack of a better term 
"patterns of behavior"  of a service class to better help in its adjustment 
logic. CICS behaves like  CICS and DB2 like DB2. 

Does the policy have a conflict or not is what I am trying to get at. The CICS 
regions should inherit the transaction goal and from what I would think 
sampling would be / could be ok.

I may be a bit winded here but does anyone have an opinion?

Thanks,

Bob Morrison

You did not mention in your original post that you were getting an
error message from "whoami". You made it sound as though it was simply
giving you your uid rather than your userid.

Presumably this error message means it has some problem with
retrieving the userid. Of course being UNIX (even IBM UNIX), there is
no message ID...

2013-12-13 Thread Anne & Lynn Wheeler
re:
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2013o.html#25 GUI vs 3270 Re: MVS Quick Reference, 
was: LookAT

this is quick&dirty conversion of internal (cms) ios3270 "green card" to
html ... trying to preserve a little of the original look&feel
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/gcard.html

very early in rex(x) days (before it had been release as product),
I wanted to demo that rexx wasn't just another pretty scripting
language. I chose to re-implement IPCS (very large application,
at the time implemented in assembler) in rexx with objective 1)
have ten times the function, 2) have ten times the performance
(interesting going from assembler to interpreted rexx) and 3)
take less than half-time over 3 months elapsed. some past
posts
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submain.html#dumprx

I finished early ... so started a library of automated scripts that
would search/recognize a variety of failure signatures.

I had assumed that it would be released to customers in place of the
existing IPCS. However, even though it was used by nearly every customer
support PSR and internal datacenter, it wasn't shipped to
customers. However, I did manage to get approval to give SHARE
presentation on the implementation details ...  and within a very short
time, similar implementations started appearing.

One of the things I did for DUMPRX was obtain the softcopy GML for
system messages & codes manual ... and massage it into an online
form. DUMPRX ran either as line-mode (terminal) exec ... or within XEDIT
as a session macro (with all input/output sesssion preserved as XEDIT
file).

note ios3270 was what was used for the service panels on the 3090
service processor (3092) ... which was really a pair of 4361s (for
redundancy and availability) running a customized version of vm370/cms
release 6. The pair of 3370s FBA required for every 3090 (even purely
MVS accounts that didn't have FBA support) ... were required for the
3092 vm370/cms systems.

Re: OMVS UID display

2013-12-13 Thread Craig . Pace
whoami should return a user id that is assigned to the UID that you are 
running under.  If you are using the default OMVS User Id (Which must be 
changed for z/OS V2.1) or a shared UID, then you will get any UID sharing 
that UID returned.

who { and options } ; eg; who am i - can display additional information 
about the user.  By default, who display information about user's login 
name, terminal name and time logged in.  Note who am only works in the 
POSIX locale

id will return the uid(username) gid(groupname).  Again, if sharing uid 
then any uid having that value can be returned.

logname will return the login name which is obtain via getlogin() 
function.


Just for some additional notes, this is what I always do so that I always 
know who I am and where I am at in OMVS...

in /etc/profile I make sure logname is readonly so it can not be 
changed..

readonly LOGNAME

set my command prompt to System Name:Log name:Directory

PS1='$System_Name':'$LOGNAME':'$PWD':'===>
export PS1

Re: OMVS UID display

2013-12-13 Thread venkat kulkarni
Yes, UID was defined to RACF and I am able to display like below.


OMVS INFORMATION

UID= 012345
HOME= /u/venkatg
PROGRAM= /bin/sh
CPUTIMEMAX= NONE
ASSIZEMAX= NONE
FILEPROCMAX= NONE
PROCUSERMAX= NONE
THREADSMAX= NONE
MMAPAREAMAX= NONE

so, are we still not clear about the output of WHOAMI and ID command.

Re: OMVS UID display

2013-12-13 Thread Skip Robinson
Sorry, I missed that detail. I figured it was about querying the user's 
OMVS segment. 

So I went to OMVS and issued 'whoami'. The result is totally absurd. It 
shows the default started task userid. Not me at all. Now maybe this is 
the already mentioned issue of displaying the first userid that has the 
user's UID. Useless.

Re: OMVS UID display

2013-12-13 Thread Nathan J Pfister
Make sure that the user has a UID defined within RACF.

You can do an ALTUSER UNAME OMVS( UID(12345) HOME('/u/username'))

I deleted my UID through RACF and got the same error you were getting from 
within OMVS.

Also, when OMVS is started you may see this error which also says there is 
no UID set:
Function = seteuid(), terminal name = '/dev/ttyp', program name = 
'/bin/fomtlinc', errno = 164 (X'00A4'), reason code = 0B7F
0804, message = 'EDC5164I SAF/RACF error.'

What about the command:

who am i

This is supposed to always give the RACF id of the initial user who did the

Re: OMVS UID display

2013-12-13 Thread Nathan J Pfister
If you have multiple users with the same UID, it can cause issues I 
believe.  I'm not quite sure what you are after for the whoami command? 
What do you mean by they want to see their USERID, do you mean their RACF 
ID? 



Skip:   both whoami and id are Unix commands, and are found in /bin

Both are compiled code

whoami -- Display your effective user name
When I run whoami I get back my User Name

id displays the user name and group affiliations
When I run id I get back  my UID(Username) GID(Group Name)

Re: OMVS UID display

2013-12-13 Thread Skip Robinson
I don't see that 'commands' like ID or WHOAMI are true z/OS components. We 
have some variations of these as CLIST or Rexx that live in 
installation-defined libraries. 

Obtaining additional data for such commands may depend on the authority of 
the user. For example, anyone can issue LU (LISTUSER) for oneself, but 
getting info for another user requires at least AUDIT authority.

I am not aware of one.

If you use ISRDDN and type in APF or LINKLIST on the command line, I think
it will give you a confirmation of a file that is in the list but does not
exist.

Otherwise, I might check out Mark Zelden's IPLINFO REXX for a sample of how
to go through the various areas of z/OS which includes LINKLIST and I think
APF List.

An unsupported undocumented option for the current TRSMAIN is adding the 
TMPSPACE DD. This usually will let you terse PDSE or other things that 
mess up it's calculations for work space like a large RECFM VB PDS.

Re: COBOL IN SRB Mode (Was Un-authorized caller)

2013-12-13 Thread Blaicher, Christopher Y.
Chuck,

While Syncsort takes advantage of zIIP processing, the license agreement 
prevents us from enabling any non-Syncsort written code from running on a zIIP. 
 Thus, all exits, be they expressly given in a JCL invoked sort or implied by 
using a COBOL invoked sort, are entered in Problem State TCB mode.

I have not looked at how IBM handles XML processing, but a fair guess is they 
use a state switching PC call to get the XML process run on a zIIP, but as I 
said that is only a WAG.

Presumably for certain XML processing, IBM has made taking care of the messy 
details relatively (FSVO relatively) simple.  Note that though there is XML 
source code in the COBOL source the actual executed XML code and routines 
probably are separately dynamically called routines in some other source 
language.  I also assume that COBOL programs that use the SORT verb are 
implicitly taking advantage of any zXXP capability of the invoked sort 
(DF/SORT, SYNCSORT, Other).

Russ,

I am most curious about how those messages were written, given that an SVC call 
is not allowed in zIIP mode.  Did the non-zIIP code open a data set and 
buffers, then the zIIP code put data into them and never filled a buffer, and 
then the non-zIIP code closed the data set forcing the buffer to be written?  
Or have I missed something?

For the record, we are a licensed user of the zIIP API.

Presumably for certain XML processing, IBM has made taking care of the
messy details relatively (FSVO relatively) simple.  Note that though
there is XML source code in the COBOL source the actual executed XML
code and routines probably are separately dynamically called routines
in some other source language.  I also assume that COBOL programs that
use the SORT verb are implicitly taking advantage of any zXXP
capability of the invoked sort (DF/SORT, SYNCSORT, Other).

Very curious since it worked fine for me using Firefox 25.0.1

Re: unresolvend references compiling C with LDAP functions

2013-12-13 Thread Henrique Seganfredo
Hello.

Finnaly solved.

I did reduce the program to a basic Hello World. And I was having the same S01C 
abends.

Then I reread the documentation. There is some slight misconcept from my part 
at 
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r13/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.zos.r12.glpa100%2Fcompiling.htm

There is NO NEED to include the SYS1.SIEALNKE(GLDCLDAP) at link time, ONLY AT 
RUNTIME. In fact, only is needed:
1) Compile: SYSLIB for CCNDRVR pointing to HLQ. SGLDHDRC
2) Prelink: SYSLIB for EDCPRLK pointing to HLQ.SGLDHDRC

Program runs fine now.

II will post my definitive JCL soon.

I think these are partial good news, as IBM said:
 "You can continue to access older releases of messages at the website
AS-IS."

So, I guess Look At can still be used for versions until 1.13.

TRSMAIN - Influencing the temporary dataset allocation

2013-12-13 Thread Jake anderson
Hello,

I am performing a unters for  a Rel file using TRSMAIN. Unfortunately it is
failing due to  insufficient allocation during temporary dataset creation.
Are there any parameter within TRSMAIN step that can influence or create a
larger Temporary dataset.

 Right now the RELFILE is sitting on Multi-vol(4 volumes), so its kind of
pretty bigger one.

Any suggestions or advise would be helpful for me to unpack the RELFILE.

These days I guess something like what John Mc posted is the way to go for 
almost everyone. Sites I visit don't want in-house exits any more - more 
especially true for "new" exits.

Does this support jumping forward from the initial message display. I'm 
thinking of messages with return codes. The 3270 interface displays the message

Re: COBOL IN SRB Mode (Was Un-authorized caller)

2013-12-13 Thread Hunkeler, Peter

>their use. 

zAAPs and zIIPS are different beasts when it comes to what is allowed to run 
there.

There is no need to run authorized to be able to get dispatched on a zAAP. 
Remember, zAAPs were initially designed so that Java code may get dispatched 
on them. You surely wouldn't want all JVMs to run authorized to benefit from 
zAAPs, would you?

Different rules have been set in place for zIIPs. They were designed so that 
eligible SRBs may get dispatched on them. You need to run authorized to 
be able to schedule SRBs, therefore code that is eligible to run on zIIPs is 
already authorized code.

And if you have "zAAP on zIIP", the even unauthorized code may run on 
the zIIPs: Code that is eligible to run on zAAPs.
