Re: configure zos explorer

[Wayne Bickerdike]

In z/OS Explorer go to Window > Manage Connections.

You should see CICS System Management with Cicsplex and CMCI
Under that is z/OS
There will be Ftp
z/OS Remote System
z/OSMF

Click on z/OS Remote System and hit the Add button

In that popup are the Remote Host IP address and Port.

IBM Z Development and Test Environment (zD)

[Frank Swarbrick]

Starting a new thread...just because.
So does anyone have an experience actually using this?
Do you have Enterprise Edition?
Does each developer have a zD "instance"?
Do you build an "image" from an existing mainframe z/OS environment and then 
have the developers deploy that image to their personal instance?  What about 
testers?  On 
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSTQBD_12.0.0/com.ibm.zsys.rdt.tools.user.guide.doc/topics/provisioning.html
 is states "This process can be done by any application programmer or tester 
on-demand whenever they need a new environment."  That seems almost too good to 
be true!
What if a developer needs to create new resources for their environment, i.e. 
files, DB2 tables, IMS databases and PSBs, MQ queues et al?  Do those get 
created by system programmers on the source image and then deployed by the 
developer to their personal instance, or what?
How much work is it to get data moved from the mainframe to a development 
instance?
It all sounds great in theory, but I'd love to hear about some real world usage.

Re: Mainframe environment on AWS

[Laurence Chiu]

That's very interesting.

Looks like the personal edition might be a good tool to get new developers
familiar with the environment. And then maybe Enterprise edition if we want
to offload some development work from the host.

However is not clear to me how you would do applications development on the
platform if you were using a third party source code management product.
Would you be able to install that on the environment or have to download
all the source code and copy books to this environment to be able to do
test compiles?

Also does all IBM software run on the environment or only a subset?

Also one of the projects we would be looking at is spinning up our first
sysplex. It would be cool to be able to do that using ZDG Parallel
Sysplex but the application we want to test in this Plex is not from IBM
and I have no idea how you would get it to run.

Still food for thought.

Documentation on PTATSCHEDPARAM in BPXYPTAT?

[Thomas David Rivers]

I see this field in the BPXYPTAT macro:


PTATSCHEDPARAM   DSF  Pthread GetSchedParam/SetSchedParam value

But - I can find no BPX function that retrieves or sets that value 
(seems like
z/OS would have to be informed if it changed.)  And, I can't seem to 
find any
documentation on that field.  It's interesting that it's in the 
system-managed

part of the BPXYPTAT pthread attributes.

Is this a way to alter the scheduling characteristics of a BPX pthread?  
Or, is this

just reserved for future use?  Because z/OS doesn't seem to have a way to
alter individual thread scheduling priorities.

Any ideas?

   - Thanks! -

Re: SMF exit IEFU086 work area size

[Charles Mills]

I had the same question on the CNZ_WTOMDBEXIT work area.

There they say you cannot store information from one invocation to another, but 
not to leave anything sensitive behind. IIRC.

I assumed (yes, I know) that it was effectively "private" to the invoked exit 
instance (either serialized or a unique member of a set) and so far the code 
has not crashed or shown evidence of a collision.

When is this area obtained and freed? I.e. is this area unique for each
invocation of IEFU86, or unique for each individual record, or "global".
I'm wondering if I can put something in it on one invocation of IEFU86 and
access it in a different invocation.

See IBM publication SG24-8205-04 for a detailed discussion. In short, the
terms and conditions (and sales plans) are completely different, but the
actual emulation program and functions are the same, with very slight
differences.  zPDT (for ISVs) includes z/VM and z/VSE, whereas z/VM is an
extra feature for zD They use different tokens (IBM types 1090 and

I have a REXX program which uses the SDSF REXX API to copy job output to disk. 
At present, it puts everything into a single data set (or UNIX file), but I 
think it can be modified to put each individual SPOOL files into a separate 
DSN. Would you like me to send it to you off-line?

Re: Saving job output

[Lizette Koehler]

Depending on the level of z/OS you are at, in SDSF there is a REXX Tutorial.

In SDSF - enter PF1 (HELP)

On this panel you would select TOC

Then on that panel you should see REXX Tutorial entry.

If you go through those pages, there are examples, explanations and other cool
functions using SDSF REXX

See IBM publication SG24-8205-04 for a detailed discussion. In short, the 
terms and conditions (and sales plans) are completely different, but the 
actual emulation program and functions are the same, with very slight 
differences.  zPDT (for ISVs) includes z/VM and z/VSE, whereas z/VM is an 
extra feature for zD They use different tokens (IBM types 1090 and 
1091); software-only licenses are only for zD  Very minor differences.

Unless you are an ISV, a member of the IBM Partnerworld, and eligible for 
the z Systems developer discount program, your path would be to zD

Re: unpack ispf table for ISPT037 error

I searched and found
"ISPT037 Library format error - Invalid record: Table= TTRN=

So if you still have the message, you could perhaps estimate where the
error is in the member.

Packed? Back in the day, when I was a sysprog, we didn't pack tables. I
have no idea whether that still applies. If it does, it would seem worth
asking how it got packed. EDIT with PACK ON, maybe? :-)

When is this area obtained and freed? I.e. is this area unique for each
invocation of IEFU86, or unique for each individual record, or "global".
I'm wondering if I can put something in it on one invocation of IEFU86 and
access it in a different invocation.

Re: Saving job output

Not much heavy lifting required - here is some sample ISFACT code that just 
performs a "say" operation  for a specified "unique job" , but the basic 
framework is there.

Lastrc = isfcalls('ON')
ISFPREFIX=“ROBUNIQ1”
address SDSF “ISFEXEC ST”
address SDSF “ISFACT ST TOKEN(‘”token.1”’) PARM(NP SA)”
do ddindex = 1 to ISFDDNAME.0
say “Now reading : “ISFDSNAME.ddindex
address TSO “EXECIO * DISKR “ISFDDNAME.ddindex “ (STEM line. FINIS”
say “Lines read : “line.0
do lineindex = 1 to line.0
say substr(line.lineindex,1,72)
end
end
lastrc = isfcalls('OFF')

Gadi,

You can accomplish what you want very easily using the SDSF REXX interface, you 
even have two options of how :

(1) Use ISFACT and the "SA" action to allocate a DDName to each different spool 
dataset and then use EXECIO to put the records wherever you want
(2) Use ISFBROWSE to process data at the "cursor" position.

Option (1) is probably easier conceptually, however because it reads the data 
into stems it could have storage constraints for large spool datasets.
Option (2) uses a logical cursor so will be a better general purpose solution.

Re: Saving job output

[Steve Smith]

Yeah, I wasn't sure that was what you needed, but I thought it should be
mentioned.  I use it quite a bit.

I know that,
But if you have a job with many output files, or you want the output of many 
jobs, this becomes tedious. You can also make mistakes.

You can XDC each individual spool file.  Just use the ? line command to view 
them.

Gadi,

You can accomplish what you want very easily using the SDSF REXX interface, you 
even have two options of how :

(1) Use ISFACT and the "SA" action to allocate a DDName to each different spool 
dataset and then use EXECIO to put the records wherever you want
(2) Use ISFBROWSE to process data at the "cursor" position.

Option (1) is probably easier conceptually, however because it reads the data 
into stems it could have storage constraints for large spool datasets.
Option (2) uses a logical cursor so will be a better general purpose solution.

See Share session 24671 "Learn to use SDSF Rexx" that I gave in Phoenix

Subject: Saving job output

Hi,
Every now and again, I have to send the output from a job or started task to 
support.
Saving all of the output is simple using SDSF's XDC command, but that saves all 
of the output to one file.
It's much easier to deal with the individual spool files.

Does anyone have a utility that can split the output according to the different 
spool files?

Gadi

unpack ispf table for ISPT037 error

[Bill Giannelli]

I am getting an ISPT037 error. A search on this error says to "unpack the ISPF 
table" with ISPF copy/move. I copied the member involved (ISPSPROF) and moved 
it back. But I still get the same error. How do I get around this error?
thanks

Re: Mainframe environment on AWS

[Sebastian Welton]

They are pretty much the same product, ZD uses zPDT as the underlying 
emulator but depending upon which version you use, has many enhancements to 
provide a DevOps experience. As already pointed out, zPDT is only for ISVs and 
ZD is available to commercial entities but you are bound by the usage which 
tends to be only development, testing and education: from IBM:


It creates an environment for mainframe application demonstration, development, 
testing, and employee education without Z mainframe hardware

ZD cannot be used for production workloads of any kind, nor robust 
development workloads, production module builds, preproduction testing, stress 
testing, or performance testing.


There are 3 versions of ZD:

ZD Personal Edition - this enables a single user to run an IBM® Z 
distribution on a personal computer. 
ZD Enterprise Edition - this enables enterprises to host an IBM Z 
distribution on low-cost Intel-based x86 machines. Enterprise Edition provides 
a web-based interface. You can extract, deploy, and manage the application 
images from an existing Z or ADCD packages. 
ZD Parallel Sysplex - can be used to enable a Sysplex environment that is 
running within z/VM

zPDT on the other hand, provide qualified PartnerWorld Independent Software 
Vendors (ISVs) with z/OS, z/VM, z/VSE and associated middleware products. You 
need to go through an approval process in order to get it.

Sebastian
