Caution! This message was sent from outside your organization.

Why? If you are waiting for something then you should use system services, 
e.g., ENQ, WAIT, to delay until it occurs; if you are not waiting for something 
then why not let the WLM handle what it's designed to handle?

Does anyone happen to know the best way for a running task to give up running 
and let another task run?

But - this isn't "give up" as in ending the task, just giving up the CPU to 
allow another task to run and then returning to this task.

Sorta like "I'm done for the moment if something else would like to run".

Seriously though,  I don't understand why IBM are not coming to Perth! 
Perth is home to three major vendors (Rocket, HCL and 21st Century), IBM 
and mainframe customers who are

busy modernizing their applications and would be very interested in zCX.

The CICS guys from Hursley are coming to Perth this month for a two day 
event covering lots of interesting topics (including zCX). Hopefully, 
they will be able to answer most of our questions.

SWAREQ REXX fails with SWA=ABOVE, works with SWA=BELOW

2019-10-17 Thread Peter Bishop
Hi,

in case anyone else is having failures using the old SWAREQ REXX that is 
floating around (originally from Gilbert Saint Flour), in our case as part of a 
REXX that compares catalogues via the IGGCSI00 program and various other 
methods, you will need to change your job class to SWA=BELOW to get it to work.

After I did that, the mysterious errors relating to rubbish dataset names that 
SWAREQ was returning vanished, and normal processing resumed.

Hope this saves some time for others.

best regards,
Peter

Hi

Cross posted

I am working on a tpx upgrade. When I start the address space for some reason 
it reads the fault analyser dataset.

I have checked throughout the proc to see if by chance I have added that in DD

Not sure from where the TPX is pointing the Fault analyser parm.

Does anyone have a similar set up and have any clue ?

Re: [External] Re: Power failure

2019-10-17 Thread Pommier, Rex
Jerry,

That's true (it's also true if you accidentally IPL a test system using the 
production paging subsystem) that corrupting/losing critical DASD will cause 
z/OS to fall over.  However, I believe the OP mentioned that the SEs were 
restarted as well.  I don't recall if the z14 has internal battery backup for 
the SE's or not, but if not, IBM made (in my opinion) a mistake moving from 
laptops with internal batteries to 1u "pizza boxes" for the SEs without BBU.  
It sure smells to me like there was some kind of power issue that impacted both 
of the power feeds coming in to the z14.

Re: How define a cluster bigger than 4GB?

2019-10-17 Thread Rob Schramm
I must clarify the use of DSNTYPE=LARGE...

*sound of buzzer*  thanks for playing.

Notes from the from the book -- please note
1) Extended format MUST BE system managed
2) DSNTYPE=LARGE does not have to be system managed..
3) DSNTYPE=LARGE can be supplied via DATACLAS.

a google search for "DSNTYPE=LARGE" should take you to this link as well

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4.idad400/d4425.htm

Cut n paste from the book

Allocating an Extended-Format Data Set.
Extended format data sets must be system-managed. The mechanism for
requesting extended format is through the SMS data class DSNTYPE=EXT
parameter and subparameters R (required) or P (preferred). The storage
administrator can specify R to ensure the data set is extended. Then, for
VSAM data sets the storage administrator can set the extended
addressability attribute to Y to request extended addressability.

Extended format can also be requested using the DSNTYPE parameter on the
JCL DD statement, with values of EXTREQ (required) or EXTPREF (preferred).
The DSNTYPE specified on a JCL DD statement overrides any DSNTYPE set for
the data class.

In addition to a DSNTYPE of EXTENDED, COMPACTION=YES in a data class
definition must be specified if you want to request allocation of an
extended format data set in the compressed format. A compressed data set
can be created using the LIKE keyword on the DD statement and not just
through a data class.

Allocating a Large Format Data Set.
Large format data sets are sequential data sets that can grow beyond 65 535
tracks (4369 cylinders) up to 16,777,215 tracks per volume. Large format
data sets can be system-managed or not. You can allocate a large format
data set using the DSNTYPE=LARGE parameter on the DD statement, dynamic
allocation (SVC 99), TSO/E ALLOCATE, or the access method services ALLOCATE
command. The SMS data class can also provide the DSNTYPE value of LARGE, if
the data set does not have another DSNTYPE specified or a DSORG value other
than PS or PSU.

Re: Pervasive Encryption questions

2019-10-17 Thread Jousma, David
We are investigating.  There is a caveatand what you are talking about is 
dataset encryption.  There are other facets to "pervasive encryption" including 
coupling facility encryption if PS, TCPIP encryption, etc.   For dataset 
encryption, IBM is recommending activating ZEDC compression engines, and first 
compressing the data to be encrypted, there by encrypting less data, reducing 
the overall costs of it ~5%.   Without compression the cost is quite a bit 
higher in CPU costs - so IBM tells us.

**CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL**

**DO NOT open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected

Good afternoon everyone,
We are actively pursuing Pervasive Encryption with our mainframe z14 machines.
My question is related to performance.
If anyone out there has been down this path, do they have real world metrics to 
share?
It has been suggested that we could expect to see about five percent growth in 
CPU activity, and other folks have suggested that any CPU increase would be 
transparent.
I will probably lean towards the five percent number, just to feel more 
confident.

Has anyone seen an impact on SYNCSORT with ZPSAVER?

I fully expect to do my own before/after comparisons, and if anyone can share 
any bumps in the road that they experienced, that would be great.
Then I can focus on the potential difficulties/challenges.

Thanks,

2019-10-17 Thread Mike Hochee
Yes exactly, that is part of what WLM is designed to do. In the real world most 
shops use WLM service classes and velocity goals to control things like CPU 
dispatching frequency. I'm sure there exist workloads which tend to defy the 
controls available in WLM, but I suspect they are quite rare. In all but those 
rare instances, I'd be inclined to steer clear coding something in a program 
for the purpose of getting it re-dispatched for some resource.

but WLM and LOGR would not change (use same ones as in current environment)

In falling back, I would use the same current (not DR) XCF/CFRM/WLM/LOGR

Is the task one that purely uses CPU? Perhaps looping, looking at a queue 
for something to do, without ever waiting for anything? If so, perhaps it 
should issue STIMER WAIT when it detects that it has nothing to do.

If, OTOH, it waits for an ECB to be posted, or an I/O to complete, or any of a 
number of other things, it is already relinquishing control.

That's not for the task to decide: the dispatcher, under control of WLM, 
decides whether you get the CPU or will be removed from it to allow another 
task to run. All based on WLM directions, which you can influence by selecting 
a Service Class with a certain Goal.

What does "for the moment" mean?  If your process has nothing
more to do, it should just quit.  If it needs to wait for an event,
there are various programming interfaces for such things.

#1, MVS manages that sort of thing with its wisdom, right? If it thought
someone else should run, it would pre-empt you and give control to that
other task.

#2, any SVC (or PC?) type system service call will cause MVS to re-evaluate

Does anyone happen to know the best way for a running task
to give up running and let another task run?

But - this isn't "give up" as in ending the task, just giving up
the CPU to allow another task to run and then returning to this
task.

Re: [EXT] Re: zOS 2.4 migration guide

2019-10-17 Thread Carmen Vitullo
I think we all understand, I was actually updating my software instance from a 
2.2 instance to my current 2.3 instance. 
Documentation is still very lacking and in my PMR that I still have open since 
AUGUST I've stated that fact, this is very disappointing, IBM doc, especially 
an installation guide and user guide for all things MVS (ZOS) were easy to 
follow, now defining and configuring a REQUIRED product to send email 
notifications, defined TCP IP policy agents, and define/deploy z/OS software is 
deplorable. 
setting up the software 'INSTANCE' I define the software and where the z/osmf 
server is running, and my zos global zone, from there, it appears to read the 
zone(s) and build a configuration, ok, so what happens when I need service? do 
I have to use z/OSMF to order service, fixes? it's sure looking that way. Guess 
it's back to decrypting the z/OSMF user guide :(

What? IBM never said z/OSMF is intended to replace SMP/E. Yes, over 
time we plan to replace the existing ServerPac installation with a 
z/OSMF based install, but z/OS software will continue to be serviced 
using PTFs and therefore using SMP/E.

On our z14, z/OSMF takes some 60m+ EXCPs and 300 seconds of CPU time

I have been investigating this exact issue. Looking at SMF 92 records, 
it appears that z/OSMF opens, reads and closes the same files thousands 
of times.


On my Dallas RDP system z/OSMF also takes about 60m EXCPs to start up. 
Startup is still fast - I suspect through caching magic of read only 
filesystems or VM read only disks it achieves somewhere between 500K-1M 
EXCPs per second and takes 1-2 minutes to start. (I also wonder whether 
EXCPs are counted differently against filesystems.)


I wrote a Java program using EasySMF to count the type 92 file close 
records by file name. The program:


import java.io.IOException;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import com.blackhillsoftware.smf.SmfRecordReader;
import com.blackhillsoftware.smf.smf92.*;

public class UssFileCloseCount
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
    {
        LocalDateTime start = LocalDateTime.of(2019, 10, 9, 14, 9);
        LocalDateTime end = LocalDateTime.of(2019, 10, 9, 14, 11);

    try (SmfRecordReader reader = SmfRecordReader.fromDD("INPUT"))
    {
    reader.include(92,11)
        .stream()
        .map(record -> Smf92Record.from(record))
        .filter(r92 -> r92.smfDateTime().isAfter(start)
                && r92.smfDateTime().isBefore(end))
        .filter(r92 -> 
r92.identificationSection().smf92jbn().equals("IZUSVR1"))

        .flatMap(r92 -> r92.FileCloses().stream())
        .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(close -> close.smf92cpn(),
                Collectors.counting()))
        .entrySet().stream()
        .filter(entry -> entry.getValue() > 10)// count > 10
        .sorted((a, b) -> b.getValue().compareTo(a.getValue()))
        .forEachOrdered(entry ->
                System.out.format("%7d %s%n",

I'm no expert of z/OS Java garbage collection but I'm wondering how it 
can cause high EXCPs?


I suspect it's opening all the zFS files required for WLP.


(I’d also observe Liberty Profile has a generally good reputation for being

That's my experience. But we have a zIIP.

Carmen's remark about 'clear documentation' is very much on point. Like
him, I've been battling with the Configuration Assistant in order to

create

a comms policy.
Every time I find any documentation that might help me, the examples

given

show a z/OSMF UI that is different to mine and so the confusion starts
right at the point of logging on.
I suppose its because z/OSMF is still a very young bit of software and so
changes between versions are much more visible.

The idea that z/OSMF is intended to eventually replace SMP is quite
depressing, but - disclosure - I remember I had similar difficulty taking
SMP on board some aeons ago... using it is almost second nature now.

I’m not really claiming to troubleshoot this but I wonder - based on your
EXCP count comment - what JVM heap specification people (you) are running
with. I wonder if it’s garbage collecting to death.

(I’d also observe Liberty Profile has a generally good reputation for being
lightweight and swift to start. As always, and z/OSMF Development forgive
me for this comment :-) , it depends on what you run in the JVM.)

On our z14, z/OSMF takes some 60m+ EXCPs and 300 seconds of CPU time
(according to SDSF) before it can even be used...
(and anything that announces its availability with "...ready to run a

Carmen's remark about 'clear documentation' is very much on point. Like

Every time I find any documentation that might help me, the examples given
show a z/OSMF UI that is different to mine and so the confusion starts
right at the point of logging on.
I suppose its because z/OSMF is still a very young bit of software and so

The idea that z/OSMF is intended to eventually replace SMP is quite

Re: Power failure

2019-10-17 Thread Peter
Ibm responded

Says this  system reboot could be due to at SE level.

Half of the log collected got corrupted

Error data not in cache .

Still wondering if SE can really reboot the machine on its own.

Re: STGADMIN.DPDSRN Confusion

2019-10-17 Thread retired mainframer
When you list the dataset in 3.4, you have to specify the volume on the input 
panel.  Then it will present the override option.  When you rename the data set 
this way, the catalog will not be updated.  The assumption being that no one 
would rename a dataset actually in use.  This feature is designed to let you 
rename a different dataset with the same name since the ENQ does not track the 
volume.
