Re: Clarification on DASD mod conversion of SYSRES

2019-08-30 Thread Gibney, Dave
Many of our tailored members are apply to all four of my LPARs and reside in 
SYS1.WSU.PARMLIB
LPAR specific members are in SYS1.lparname.PARMLIB
Changes are first IPL'd in SYS1.lparname.PARMLIB.OVERRIDE

Which is where I was before the migration to FNTS, so
Changed, common members where in SYS1.FNTS.PARMLIB
And changed LPAR members in SYS!.FNTS.lparname.PARMLIB. 

I should (and have many) moved the migration members further down. On the other 
hand, I've only IPL'd production twice since my migration IPL in December 2017.

Agreed!   Our parmlib concatenation consist of the business parmlib that 
resides on MCAT pack, followed by the serverpack provided sys1.ibm.parmlib.
The sys1.parmlib from serverpack never gets used in our shop, except to take a 
peek at what IBM thinks we should do on something.

I'd like to address a question implied in this thread: where should I put the 
installation 'business' PARMLIB, that is, the data set that typically contains 
90+% of all required members, which are often tailored and do not change at all 
from release to release. I would argue strongly in favor of putting this 
PARMLIB on some sysprog-owned volume *away* from the ServerPac set. Some 
reasons and a war story.

-- This user-created and managed PARMLIB will not be unexpectedly updated by 
PTF. 

-- This PARMLIB can contain IBM-, ISV-, and installation-owned members. 

-- This PARMLIB requires little in the way of updates, any one of which could 
possibly finger-check into failure on the next IPL. 

The story. In a previous life, we kept the business PARMLIB on sysres. The VTAM 
guy made a critical change on a remote system shortly before IPL. Then we 
switched sysres to a PARMLIB that did not have this change. VTAM would not come 
up. The data center was 400 miles away. It was before TCP/IP. Fixing the 
problem would be trivial if only we could log on. The only staff on site were 
operators. We were facing a long drive up the California coast just to submit a 
simple job. We were finally able to talk an operator through editing up a job 
(local non-SNA 3270) and submitting it, which corrected the problem. 

Of course we should have had better 'procedures'. Good luck with that.

You can't IPL with the IPL datasets cataloged to , it fails if you try to 
set  to something in IEASYMxx.  The same is true if you try to use a 
symbolic for the catalog volume(s) (assuming it's separate from the res

(i.e. one of the sites I manage has their current IPL vols as is C23RS1 (which

Re: [External] Re: Clarification on DASD mod conversion of SYSRES

2019-08-30 Thread Pommier, Rex
Brian,

What datasets do you mean by "IPL datasets cataloged to "?  Everything on 
my SYSRES is cataloged to  except SYS1.PARMLIB and we IPL just fine.  
According to the 2.2 INIT & TUNING manual, changing  is not allowed in 
IEASYMxx at all.  The further documented restriction is that SYS1.PARMLIB 
cannot use  nor can any dataset defined in the LOADxx member being used 
unless the LOADxx member also has the vol-ser defined therein so the system can 
find it.

Re: Clarification on DASD mod conversion of SYSRES

2019-08-30 Thread Brian Westerman
You can't IPL with the IPL datasets cataloged to , it fails if you try to 
set  to something in IEASYMxx.  The same is true if you try to use a 
symbolic for the catalog volume(s) (assuming it's separate from the res 
volume(s)), but I think that issue is the ICF catalogs themselves.  You can 
however catalog normal non-vsam datasets to any symbol you want so long as you 
identify it in the IEASYMxx member.  I ALWAYS catalog ALL my DLIB and some 
VENDOR volumes that way, it makes life (and maintenance) a lot easier to be 
able to change the volsers.  

(i.e. one of the sites I manage has their current IPL vols as is C23RS1 (which 
has every cataloged as **) , C23RS2 ( which has everything cataloged to 
) and C23DL1 (which has everything cataloged to ) , C23DL2 (same 
format but )  and C23DL3 (same format but ), and the next one 
will be D23RS1, and D23RS2, D23DL1, D23DL2 and D23DL3.  There is no re 
cataloging of datasets necessary, I just change the IEASYMxx member and 
everything is where it needs to be.  My Backup SYSRES's are C23RSA and C23RSB 
and again, I just point the IPL to C23RSA and IEASYMxx is changed to point 
 to C23RSB and everything is set yo IPL and go.

The names of the volumes themselves can be whatever I want to make them easy to 
remember in an emergency, they could be 11 and 22 and the process would 
be the same.

It's very easy to do maintenance this way.

All, thanks for checking. 

So my conclusion way back when must have been wrong. I had left SYS1.PARMLIB 
(that came with ADCD) on the sysres. There was no SYS1.IBM.PARMLIB, and 
SYS1.PARMLIB was the one that was SMP/E-maintained. All other parmlibs were on 
the volume I had established called ZOSCAT. (One more thing that wasn't right 
with the ADCD systems).
Given that at 1.13 there was no rescue system and I had to IPL the old, 
functioning system every time I needed to make a change, I must have overlooked 
that only SYS1.PARMLIB needs to be catalogued on volume **. At least it 
didn't do any harm having everything else on sysres catalogued on ** 
instead of 

Still, the wordings in the books could do with some clarification, preferably 
in one central place. The day I did that migration (away from the ADCD res vols 
to my own) I must have IPL'd 20 times or so until I got things right. It was a 
long day.

Re: Clarification on DASD mod conversion of SYSRES

2019-08-29 Thread Jousma, David
I got curious.   Looks like ** and  are interchangeable for 
everything with one restriction noted below

RTFMing in Init & Tuning: 
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.ieae200/ieae20035.htm

I see the following restrictions for indirect cataloging:

Indirect volume serial support can only be used for data sets residing on 
SYSRES and its logical extensions. These are typically data sets that are 
installed as part of a system build process. Use with user or application data 
sets is not supported.
Cataloged data sets must be non-VSAM and non-SMS-managed.
The volume must be mounted and online when a request is made to retrieve 
information from the catalog.
You are responsible for managing volumes where the data sets reside. If you 
move a data set from one volume to another, you must make the related changes. 
Changes include:
setting up parmlib, proclib, and JCL.
establishing system management procedures such as security, backup, and 
recovery.


The following cannot be catalogued with a system symbol:
SYS1.PARMLIB
Any parmlib data set listed in LOADxx without a volume name.
Any parmlib data set (including SYS1.PARMLIB) can be catalogued with six 
asterisks (**).

The non-full-function CAS address space used to start way after LPA and 
Linklist are built. When I had LPA and Linklist data sets catalogued on volume 
 (z/OS 1.13), the IPL essentially failed, because LPA was rather empty

There used to be a gap in the asid numbers (IIRC, it was a missing number 8) 
that was the non-full-function asid. When I just checked z/OS 2.3, that gap is 
gone. So either there isn't an early CAS anymore (the full-function CATALOG

No, not according to how I read the book. Only the data sets on the volume that 
you specify in the IPLPARM can use **. Any other volume containing non-VSAM 
system data sets would be considered an *extension* of the sysres volume and 
would need to have the symbol(s)  (n>1) defined and would need to be

Re: Clarification on DASD mod conversion of SYSRES

2019-08-28 Thread Jesse 1 Robinson
System symbols are defined IEASYMxx, which resides in (some) PARMLIB as 
specified in LOADxx. I don't think you can resolve a system symbol whose 
location is itself determined by IEASYSMxx until you have found and read that 
SYM member. 

My personal preference for a variety of reasons is to keep the 'business' 
SYS1.PARMLIB away from sysres on a fixed, hard-coded volser.

Yeah, but, you said: "... I have never has a problem using  
anywhere ** could have been used. ..."
Had you (or anyone else) placed SYS1.PARMLIB on your SYSRES, your 
statement would not be completely true (for e.g. SYS1.PARMLIB)

All disks larger than model-9 until model-58 (the max before EAV) are just 
model-9's, only with more space. Nobody/software should notice the difference.
Our Sysres's are model-30's for many years after being expanded dynamically 
from model-27's since we needed some more room.

Re: [External] Re: Clarification on DASD mod conversion of SYSRES

Or as a temporary solution until you're firmly onto a single SYSRES, you could 
place something like this in IEASYMxx:

SYSDEF 
  SYMDEF(='')  

This way you won't need to change your catalog entries at the cutover time, 
minimizing your chance of problems.

Re: Clarification on DASD mod conversion of SYSRES

2019-08-27 Thread Jousma, David
I actually still use both.  Everything on my sysres (except ZFS) are cataloged 
with ** for historical reasons I guess.   I don’t migrate to a new 
mastercat when building next z/os release in Serverpac, so the only really 
"safe" method to convert from ** to  in the catalog would be to copy 
the master cat, make the changes, and then IPL off of it.   Probably more work 
that it is worth.  ZFS datasets on my SYSRES have the SYSRES as the 2nd 
qualifier in it, and I use  In BPXPRMxx to reference them and various 
other places I use the symbol.

There shouldn’t be Jake.  I'm running MOD-54's for my sysres volumes and have 
been for years.   Probably the only issue you might have is if you are going 
from a multi-sysres config where you had multiple system symbols for catalog 
purposes, you'll just have to fix that to all use either ** or

Hello Group

I am planning convert the SMPE res volume DASD from mod 9 to mod 27 and also 
our production alternate respack to mod 27.(Which is not live now).
This is due to the growing res volume .

With this conversion will there be any impact or any other changes that need to 
be looked at prior to IPL ?

Any comments on above would be appreciated.
