Re: GSKSRVR trace

[Schmutzok, Mike (Alpharetta)]

I think you have to start the GSKSRVR first before starting the GSK writer. We 
had to do an SSL trace per IBM's request and the following was the process they 
gave to us. Note, this was for a CICS trace so your reply may be different.


1) Start the GSKSRVR started task:  
   S GSKSRVR
2) Start the trace writer proc with the console command:
   TRACE CT,WTRSTART=GSKWTR 
3) Start SSL CTRACE with the console command:   
   TRACE CT,ON,COMP=GSKSRVR 
4) Reply to the outstanding reply: (yourjob is the name of the CICS 
region to be traced)
   R xx,JOBNAME=(yourjob),OPTIONS=(LEVEL=255),WTR=GSKWTR,END
4a) D TRACE,COMP=GSKSRVR,SUB=(jobname)  to verify trace is active   
4b) Refresh the SSL environment using CEMT PERFORM SSL REBUILD  
5) Establish a connection to CICS   
6) Stop SSL CTRACE with the console command:
   TRACE CT,OFF,COMP=GSKSRVR
7) Stop the trace writer proc with the console command: 
   TRACE CT,WTRSTOP=GSKWTR,FLUSH
8) Stop the GSKSRVR started task:   
   P GSKSRVR

Good luck on this.  Every few years I look at what is out there to replace TPX. 
 TPX is a great multi-session product and does what we need it to do, but when 
I  get the about $60,000 bill every year I wonder what else is out there.

TPX ties in with RACF pretty well and it dynamically builds the persons "menu" 
when they signon based on their RACF profiles.  Love this capability because we 
never have to do TPX administration.  Just add the user to RACF and it all 
happens dynamically.  Some of the other products do this also.

TPX also lets you "view" a person's screen.  This is a wonderful feature the 
help desk uses.  When a customer calls in with a problem, the person just 
enters the RACFID of the person and they can see what they are doing real-time 
without the caller having to do anything. 

The main reason we still have TPX is SMF records.  TPX does an excellent job of 
writing out SMF data on all sorts of activity.  In particular we can see how 
many transactions a user did in total and per session they signon to.  We use 
this information a lot and have many reports for managers to view activity.

Good luck on your endeavor.

They suggest we migrate to IBM CL/Supersession.

entries which appears to be challenging.  The pubs say to use IEHPROGM with the

When I execute IEHPROGM, I get messages denoting that DFHSM is not active.  I

Does anyone have an idea how the catalog entries can be removed?  Any input

Re: Removing Catalog Entries for Datasets That Do Not Exist [Public Information]

[Longabaugh, Robert E]

If you are not running DFHSM are you running any other product that could cause 
MIGRAT entries?   When CA Disk archives data sets, they are recataloged to 
MIGRAT with DEVT(C4C9E2D2).  In that case the catalog entry is legitimate.

Re: Removing Catalog Entries for Datasets That Do Not Exist [Public Information]

Hello Everyone,

Recently I discovered some datasets with "MIGRAT" as the volser.  These 
datasets had been migrated with DFHSM many years ago.  My organization is no 
longer running the product.  I am attempting to remove the dangling catalog 
entries which appears to be challenging.  The pubs say to use IEHPROGM with the 
SCRATCH function if (1) the dataset is non-SMS managed and (2) you know the 
dataset's volser prior to migration.  I don't what the original volser was and 
I don't know why it matters.  The catalog entry has only the dataset name and 
"MIGRAT" for the volser.

When I execute IEHPROGM, I get messages denoting that DFHSM is not active.  I 
am unable to move past this point.

Does anyone have an idea how the catalog entries can be removed?  Any input 
would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Bill

Re: Possible COBOL RFE to abend if any warnings occured

anyway) set automatically for any development compiles only.

Subject: Re: Possible COBOL RFE to abend if any warnings occured

I agree with Jeffrey's comment and will add one of my own:  No program should 
be installed into QA or UAT or production libraries with SSRANGE or ZONECHECK 
or any other debugging option turned on at all.  There should be lifecycle 
software rules in place to automatically prevent it from ever happening.

Debugging options are for debugging problems and for unit and regression 
testing, never for production.  You are costing yourself serious CPU usage to 
leave them turned on in production.  When a programmer is debugging or changing 
code they should already know enough to look at the message output (batch or 
CICS) when they have debugging compiler options turned on.  If they don't know 
that then they don't deserve the label "programmer".

Like the old vaudeville routine said, "Patient: Doctor!  Doctor!  It hurts when 
I do that!"  "Doctor: Well, don't do that!"

Re: Possible COBOL RFE to abend if any warnings occured

[Frank Swarbrick]

They do, but the point of the MSG option as it exists today is to "change 
SSRANGE [etc.] checking to issue a non-terminating, warning-level runtime 
message which in turn allow COBOL to report on all subscript or index 
out-of-range conditions, in a single run of the application." (quoted from 
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PI74933).  Note the "in a 
single run of the application."  The point of my RFE would be so that the user 
could know that any warnings actually occurred.  If someone has a better idea I 
am open to suggestions.

Re: SMFLIMxx sample?

[Steve]

Hello,

Kees, sorry for the delay in answering:

>You say: "Note that SMFLIMxx REGIONBELOW/REGIONABOVE are *not* related 
to the IEFUSI's "region size" parameter"
>Am I correct to state that SMFLIMxx REGIONBELOW/REGIONABOVE are equal 
to IEFUSI setting a Regionsize=Regionlimit both below and above?


sbj:  As the function exists now, VSM sets the job step's limit and size 
values using a myriad of fields passed into it:

- JCL Region= or REGIONX= values
- SMFLIMxx REGIONx values (which will override the above JCL REGION 
values)

- IEFUSI RegionLimit and RegionSize values
- SMFLIMxx SYSRESVx values, which will essentially be used in place 
of the IEFUSI REGIONLIMIT value.


VSM will factor these values together and come up with a regionlimit and 
a regionsize.


Since there is no regionsize keyword, when SYSRESV is used, the 
regionsize should match the regionlimit.


If the JCL REGION or the SMFLIMxx REGIONx values are non-zero and 
lower than the determined regionlimit, that means the user (or SMFLIMxx 
coder) has a specific amount in mind and the regionsize will be set to 
that amount.  And as we know, if you request more region via JCL than is 
available, an abend will result.  IIRC, if SYSRESVx is not used and 
IEFUSI doesn't set any values, VSM will add a default value to the 
regionsize to set the regionlimit.


This is why people are simply coding REGIONBELOW(NOLIMIT) 
REGIONABOVE(NOLIMIT) to simply override whatever the user requested and 
giving them REGION=0M. I'm not sure why they aren't using SYSRESVx 
to protect private for system use, unless they still have their IEFUSI 
in place.


>IEFUSI doc explains the value of difference between regionsize and 
regionlimit with regard to VL Getmains. Is this no important anymore, 
because SMFLIMxx does not provide control of a different regionlimit 
anymore?
SBJ: I won't say it's not important, just that it was not in the 
function provided on day 1.  And that the nuance about VL Getmains is 
often missed.


>Region=0M implies Memlimit=0M. Does the SMFLIMxx Memlimit parameter 
overrule Memlimit=0M for Region=0M tasks?
sbj:  REGION=0M implies Memlimit=0M, but only when coded on the JCL. 
Using REGIONx(NOLIMIT) does not specifically alter the MEMLIMIT. The 
SMFLIMxx memlimit parameter will overrule the MEMLIMIT coded and the 
implied memlimit from region=0M.  Since IEFUSI and SMFLIMxx have the 
ability to set any MEMLIMIT, there is no reason to imply a memlimit.




>If so, a filter on REGION= would be helpful or I need IEFUSI to ignore 
SMFLIMxx for Region=0M steps.
sbj:  Please open an RFE in DeveloperWorks.  I think you'll get a lot of 
votes for the idea.



>Does NOHONORIEFUSIREGION in SCHEDxx also apply to SMFLIMxx, i.o.w. is 
SMFLIMxx also ignored like IEFUSI is? If so, will SCHEDxx docs be updated?
sbj:  NOHONORIEFUSIREGION does override SMFLIMxx. I'll make a note to 
get the doc updated.


Thanks,
Kees.

Re: SMFLIMxx parameter

[Steve]

Do you have the IEF043I joblog message and the SMFLIMxx rules that you 
could post?  Along with whatever messages you get for the refusal to run...

Re: Possible COBOL RFE to abend if any warnings occured

[Jeffrey Holst]

Unless you have other specific examples, both NUMCHECK and SSRANGE already 
offer the ABD sub-option. I would think the RFE would be rejected as already 
delivered.

Re: IBM Session Manager replacement

[Roger Lowe]

Roberto,
 Have a read of the Announcement Letter 
(https://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=an=ca=gpateam=897=ENUS215-356)
 for CL/Supersession and in particular the section titled "ESW trade-up - 
Ordering information"
.
You may find that it may be a NO cost option for you to go to CL/Supersession - 
possibly worth investigating
.
Hope the above helps
.

Hi listers:

IBM has notified that IBM Session Manager product will be phased out by the end 
of 2018.

They suggest we migrate to IBM CL/Supersession.

I would like to know of other vendor products that do a similar function.

I will be searching but thought of tapping into your experience.

Thank you all for any hints.
