Ca7 auto-ticketing with ServiceNow tool
Hello Everyone, Could someone please help me with below request!! Wanna know if there is anyone implemented auto-ticketing integration from CA7 Scheduler to Service Now ticketing tool whenever there is a job failure occurs? And I also want to know whether we have any option to create a Service Now Incident ticket via an email?

Customizing CA7
Hi Mainframe Professionals, Good Day! My question may be stupid, but I just wanna know this. Is there any way to customize CA7 panels? i.e. can we change the options for canceling or restarting or force completing the job to different panel or different option? Kindly let me know, whether it is possible to do or not Thanks, Rajesh Sent from my HTC -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: to use wildcard characters in JCl
Hi Elardus, There is a dataset which get updated every hour in our production system, actually i need to ftp that particular dataset every one hour. For now i'm submitting the job manually by changing the date and time for every one hour. I'm not clearly aware of wildcard datasets that can be given as a input DSN in JCL. Input dataset name is same, but I need to get output using wildcard in JCL with different time on hourly basis. for example, in ftp sysin *//PUT 'default_file_name' date_time.txt* date_time.txt should be like 140727_0900.txt @ 09:00 AM If possible kindly let me know wildcard details for REXX program, this may be useful for me in future.

You cannot use wildcards in a JCL for dataset, only symbols which can be substituted by SET statements or z/OS symbols.

By the way you might want to enquire why they replaced these VSAM data sets with IAM ones (probably expecting performance gains) so you can anticipate whether some more might get replaced. Not knowing the IAM product particularly well, and being an employee of the maker of VSAM :-) , I have to assume Innovation have a method of managing these data sets.

Restoration of IAM datasets
Dear Mates, I'm facing an issue in restoring IAM datasets, it is a multivolume dataset and we are taking logical backups. In Dataset Report the datasets are shown as PS file, but when i tried to restore the file using normal logical restoration, i am unable to open the file. It shows I/O error.

The cluster's components, PARTS.VSAM1.DATA and PARTS.VSAM1.INDEX, are also renamed. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Rajesh Janakiraman Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2014 9:10 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Restoring a VSAM dataset in Production Buddy, i have done non VSAM restorations, but i am unaware of VSAM restoration. I need to know the procedure for how to restore a VSAM dataset which is the logical one, So kindly provide it.

If so, you can simply do a restore of the dataset using the RENUNC parameter to rename it to the appropriate name to get restored onto your restore volume. If it was a physical backup and you are not on z/OS 2.1 as Peter pointed out, you cannot rename a VSAM dataset on a restore.

So kindly provide the procedure for this logical one.

It's been a while since I've done this, but you may need to do an IDCAMS DEFINE RECATALOG step here to get the dataset cataloged - I don't remember what the requirements are for SMS managed datasets. 4. Rename the just-restored dataset to something else. 5. Rename you temporarily-renamed production dataset back to its original name. I'm sure others will chime in here if I have something incorrect or am missing steps. I'm giving this procedure based on fading brain cells...
