The trick is of course, how and in what format do you want to load and unload your data. It also depends what type of recovery do you want to do. What are you using to copy your data to/from your stick? (Currently we have the catastrophe recovery system in 3590 tapes in a bank safe, but it can be also in my pocket in an USB stick ).

Even IPL-able USB stick containing whole system and applications and data is not a complete solution. What about IOCDS? Note: z/OS cannot be booted from neither USB stick, nor DVD, nor tape. Period. It is possible to boot standalone program from DVD or tape, or (maybe) USB stick. That's how COD (driver) works: you can start standalone program from DVD and restore 3390 images from DVD. I would prefer to have not so standalone z/OS image on few already restored 3390 volumes - it solves 90% possible problems. Remaining 10% consist of 99% - disaster (standalone program is unusable) and 1% some weird cases. ;-) My €0.02 -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland -- Tre tej wiadomoci moe zawiera informacje prawnie chronione Banku przeznaczone wycznie do uytku subowego adresata.

Re: Creating .xls on z/OS
Supposedly, but I haven't actually tried. Look at: http://poi.apache.org/ quote The Apache POI Project's mission is to create and maintain Java APIs for manipulating various file formats based upon the Office Open XML standards (OOXML) and Microsoft's OLE 2 Compound Document format (OLE2). In short, you can read and write MS Excel files using Java. In addition, you can read and write MS Word and MS PowerPoint files using Java. Apache POI is your Java Excel solution (for Excel 97-2008). We have a complete API for porting other OOXML and OLE2 formats and welcome others to participate. OLE2 files include most Microsoft Office files such as XLS, DOC, and PPT as well as MFC serialization API based file formats. The project provides APIs for the OLE2 Filesystem (POIFS) and OLE2 Document Properties (HPSF). Office OpenXML Format is the new standards based XML file format found in Microsoft Office 2007 and 2008. This includes XLSX, DOCX and PPTX. The project provides a low level API to support the Open Packaging Conventions using openxml4j. For each MS Office application there exists a component module that attempts to provide a common high level Java api to both OLE2 and OOXML document formats. This is most developed for Excel workbooks (SS=HSSF+XSSF). Work is progressing for Word documents (HWPF+XWPF) and PowerPoint presentations (HSLF+XSLF). The project has recently added support for Outlook (HSMF). Microsoft opened the specifications to this format in October 2007. We would welcome contributions. There are also projects for Visio (HDGF), TNEF (HMEF), and Publisher (HPBF). As a general policy we collaborate as much as possible with other projects to provide this functionality. Examples include: Cocoon for which there are serializers for HSSF; Open Office.org with whom we collaborate in documenting the XLS format; and Tika / Lucene, for which we provide format interpretors. When practical, we donate components directly to those projects for POI-enabling them. /quote -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.

Re: SMF Dataset CLOSE PENDING ISSUE
General note . Close Pending status for an SMF dataset is actually fairly normal but should NOT persist for very long. It basically means that SMF is still writing data out to that physical dataset but has logically reached the end of the file and is collecting/targetting its current input data to the 'next' dataset (which in this case there is none - which I suspect might have been the source of the issue). Second note .. you really should have procedures in place on the system to dump and CLEAR SMF datasets as soon they become FULL - you should never really have SMF datasets that are in dump required state. That's system data that has been collected and is just sitting there not being used for its intended purpose. IF for some reason there is no actual need for the data then just make sure to CLEAR the datasets as they become FULL. Third general thing . Close Pending is USUALLY an indication of a thru-put performance iusse with SMF - that is, the data is being collected as a FASTER rate than it is being physically written out to the SMF dataset. In most cases there might be a data spike that causes this sort of behavior instead of a sustained data rate issue; the other possiblity to consider is an I/O (performance) issue with the physical SMF dataset itself.

Interesting to know about CLOSE PENDING. But I don't understand the explanation because, in the past, I have had all my SMF data sets fill up. In that case, SMF started buffering in memory and the last used MAN data set was DUMP REQUIRED. This was before I had CA-OPS/MVS issuing a command to start the STC which would dump the switched from MAN data set. It is also why I have a spare MAN data set already defined and EMPTY so that I can add a new one quickly. IIRC, I had to do this one time when SMF records were being created faster than they could be written to disk so every MAN data set filled up and I couldn't empty the fast enough.

Re: loading cryptographic coprocessor key part registers
Frank, I would strongly recommend a checklist style with places for initials for each of the MK holders. Naming conventions - Your naming convention takes care of the test v.s. prod.. which is good. But how do you handle migrating from one key to another. Example. KEY1 is in use, KEY2 is the one that you have to switch to... Depending on what you are using the key for ... you may need both or need to replace the contents of KEY1 with KEY2 (think session keys... not data base encryption) The whole key management thing can make things difficult. Personally, I agree with separating test and production. However, you may find that there are some keys (think PKDS) that have to be the same in test and production. As previously discussed the ability to move keys from one PKDS to another using the KEYXFER tool is dependent on the MK being the same. Not to say that I think having the same MK for test and production is a good idea I would not recommend it it is just a reminder that you may need to consider other options if the key needs to be the same in both places. The security for keys will be made much easier if you keep them separated name-wise. You will regret choosing the same name for test and production (only seems like a good idea... but your security folks will stage a revolt ... tar and feathering may be involved.) I am making an assumption that the security rules / security data base being the same between test and production. I am personally a fan of doing things one way. Centralizing databases and rules means that even if you make a mistake.. and production ends up in test for example ... then the same rules are always in effect. Additionally, I would suggest implementing some of the newer controls for CSFKEYS which allow for a bit more granularity that the old method of READ or NONE. Also, I would consider using the Protected key if performance is a consideration. This topic has been discussed at some length on this list. Are you running more than one production LPAR that is going to share keys? I have personally been thru a conversion from using Thales security modules to using the Crypto Express cards.

Re: Creating .xls on z/OS
John, Not truly my area of expertise. I know it works. But from the z/OS Companion for SAS has a description. The SAS Output Delivery System can be used to generate graphical reports of your SAS data. Remote browsing enables you to view your output directly from the SAS session, either in real time as the output is generated, or on demand from the Results window. Remote browsing displays ODS output that is generated to z/OS native data sets (sequential, PDS, or PDSE) or a UFS directory. HTML, PDF, RTF, and XLS file types are displayed with the remote browsing system. If your browser does not have the appropriate plug-in for non-HTML data types, it will display a download dialog box rather than the actual data. This dialog box will enable you to download the report to your PC and view it using a local program, such as Excel for an XLS file. Note: When images or graphics are written to az/OS native data set and remote browsing is being used to view the output, the URL=NONE option should not be used with the ODS statement. Using this option causes the HTML to be written with incomplete filenames, and the remote browsing system is not able to determine the location of the image or graphics. When this situation occurs, the browser displays broken image icons in the HTML output. You might find it helpful to save another software vendor's file to a DBF file and then convert that file into a SAS data set. For example, you could save an Excel XLS file in DBF format, upload the file, and use PROC DBF to convert that file into a SAS data set. Or you could do the reverse; use PROC DBF to convert a SAS data set into a DBF file and then load that file into an Excel spreadsheet. The process I have used is to generate an RTF file on the mainframe and then using SAS EMAIL process, email that result. Then when my recipients open the email, the RTF shows up in the Browser. I have seen several SAS papers on Mainframe to Excel processes. SAS also has a Microsoft plugin that allows you to use SAS to extract the data you want while in Excel prior to allowing Excel to present the data. Basically you write the output from SAS in a different format (XLS, RTF, HTML, PDF, RTF) to an HFS or PDSE file (I have not worked with ODS with other file types). And it works. I do not know how the ODS engine works to make the magic happen. If you would like a sample SAS code, write me offlist and I will share. Lizette Thanks for the correction.

Look at: http://poi.apache.org/ quote The Apache POI Project's mission is to create and maintain Java APIs for manipulating various file formats based upon the Office Open XML standards (OOXML) and Microsoft's OLE 2 Compound Document format (OLE2). In short, you can read and write MS Excel files using Java. In addition, you can read and write MS Word and MS PowerPoint files using Java. Apache POI is your Java Excel solution (for Excel 97-2008). We have a complete API for porting other OOXML and OLE2 formats and welcome others to participate. OLE2 files include most Microsoft Office files such as XLS, DOC, and PPT as well as MFC serialization API based file formats. The project provides APIs for the OLE2 Filesystem (POIFS) and OLE2 Document Properties (HPSF). Office OpenXML Format is the new standards based XML file format found in Microsoft Office 2007 and 2008. This includes XLSX, DOCX and PPTX. The project provides a low level API to support the Open Packaging Conventions using openxml4j. For each MS Office application there exists a component module that attempts to provide a common high level Java api to both OLE2 and OOXML document formats. This is most developed for Excel workbooks (SS=HSSF+XSSF). Work is progressing for Word documents (HWPF+XWPF) and PowerPoint presentations (HSLF+XSLF). The project has recently added support for Outlook (HSMF). Microsoft opened the specifications to this format in October 2007. We would welcome contributions. There are also projects for Visio (HDGF), TNEF (HMEF), and Publisher (HPBF). As a general policy we collaborate as much as possible with other projects to provide this functionality. Examples include: Cocoon for which there are serializers for HSSF; Open Office.org with whom we collaborate in documenting the XLS format; and Tika / Lucene, for which we provide format interpretors.

Re: loading cryptographic coprocessor key part registers
Frank, That is not true. Try option k. But the only reason you would need it would be if you need to store the operational key parts outside of the mainframe. Also, KGUP should support key part entry... although it is one of the oldest interfaces for ICSF. Auto generating keys is probably be the best if the keys are not required outside of the mainframe. Although you should be able to leverage a transport key or temporary session key if you need to exchange the key. The problems are that the management of the operational key parts are not really being managed outside of some interface like TKE or DKMS. TKE can actually enforce the presence of multiple people for key entry. DKMS has a whole host of ways of actually managing key materials.

Re: LOOKING FOR JCL - TLMS : CHANGE EXPIRATION DATE OF A TAPE
Willie, CATINQR/TLMSINQR is the only supported PROC/Program in current releases of TLMS (12.0 12.5). It has not been officially supported for the majority of the TLMS reports and updated since release 5.5. It was provided through release 12.0 to allow clients time to modify all their JCL. When TLMS is upgraded to release 12.6, all JCL/PROCS referencing TLMSRPTS will receive a S806 abend. If anyone is preparing to convert to release 12.6 and needs to identify the use of obsolete programs, please contact Level I support. We will supply a utility that will scan SMF Type 30 records to identify JOBS using obsolete programs.

Look at: http://poi.apache.org/ quote The Apache POI Project's mission is to create and maintain Java APIs for manipulating various file formats based upon the Office Open XML standards (OOXML) and Microsoft's OLE 2 Compound Document format (OLE2). In short, you can read and write MS Excel files using Java. In addition, you can read and write MS Word and MS PowerPoint files using Java. Apache POI is your Java Excel solution (for Excel 97-2008). We have a complete API for porting other OOXML and OLE2 formats and welcome others to participate. OLE2 files include most Microsoft Office files such as XLS, DOC, and PPT as well as MFC serialization API based file formats. The project provides APIs for the OLE2 Filesystem (POIFS) and OLE2 Document Properties (HPSF). Office OpenXML Format is the new standards based XML file format found in Microsoft Office 2007 and 2008. This includes XLSX, DOCX and PPTX. The project provides a low level API to support the Open Packaging Conventions using openxml4j. For each MS Office application there exists a component module that attempts to provide a common high level Java api to both OLE2 and OOXML document formats. This is most developed for Excel workbooks (SS=HSSF+XSSF). Work is progressing for Word documents (HWPF+XWPF) and PowerPoint presentations (HSLF+XSLF). The project has recently added support for Outlook (HSMF). Microsoft opened the specifications to this format in October 2007. We would welcome contributions. There are also projects for Visio (HDGF), TNEF (HMEF), and Publisher (HPBF). As a general policy we collaborate as much as possible with other projects to provide this functionality. Examples include: Cocoon for which there are serializers for HSSF; Open Office.org with whom we collaborate in documenting the XLS format; and Tika / Lucene, for which we provide format interpretors. When practical, we donate components directly to those projects for POI-enabling them. /quote -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.

Re: LOOKING FOR JCL - TLMS : CHANGE EXPIRATION DATE OF A TAPE
All, the various solutions given are the reason I suggested the OP contact CA Support. Since we have various solutions, and also the most important question, WHY?, I will try to explain some parts of TLMS Retention processing. 1. VOLUME level KEEPDATE/EXPDT values (UPV) are not used by TLMS retention processing, and only reflect the maximum KEEPDATE (determined at data set close by TLMS) or EXPDT (determined by EXPDT=\RETPD= in JCL. These fields are not updated by changes to data set KEEPDATE/ EXPDT updates by either TLMSTRS or manual/online updates. However, the fields may be tested in User Exits and reported upon using CA EARL. 2. Data set level EXPDT is only used by the retention system if there is no Retention Master File entry that matches the data set name of the CDS (Controlling Data Set). 3. Data set KEEPDATE will be used if the retention type assigned to the controlling data set uses the KEEPDATE (Types 2,3,B,C). 3. The only certain solution is to use the UPV vv,SCHED= command. It will never be changed by the Tape Retention System.

Re: LOOKING FOR JCL - TLMS : CHANGE EXPIRATION DATE OF A TAPE
That's it and yes, that's the program used by TLMS to set dates. My recommendation is try one, then use eith TI or TLMS volume display to see if the EXPDT is set to what you want.

Phony IBM press release from 1980 for Mainframe-Attached Toilet
Here's a Friday topic if there ever was one. A friend who is cleaning out his place just sent me a scan of a purported IBM DPD press release (on what appears to be genuine DPD letterhead) from 12/11/1980 announcing the model 3082 Attached Toilet. (The 3082 is a multi-port, user-operated waste removal system with continuous roll forms ... featuring NCP (Network Commode Protocol).) It's a PDF of a medium quality scan, about 500K.

Re: loading cryptographic coprocessor key part registers
Color me very confused. Do you not agree with the following statement from http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/PRS189? Abstract:The ICSF, application key generation utility, KGUP, does not provide the capability to enter keys using dual custody of key parts. Without using a TKE Workstation there is no way to enter multiple values that will be used to create a key value. If a TKE Workstation is not desired nor required for any other reason, this working sample application provides the ability to enter application keys under multiple custody from the TSO terminal. I can't get the K function to even do anything for me. It either says CKDS RECORD EXISTS and when I press ENTER again says KEY NOT FOUND, or, in the case where the label in fact does not already exist it just says KEY NOT FOUND and then says it again when I press enter. From the documentation I'm looking at (Loading Operational Keys to the CKDS in the TKE Workstation Guide) it doesn't even show any examples (that I can see) of entering key components from this screen. So I am lost. In any case, we share operational keys with Visa and MasterCard, where they create the key parts and send them to us (triple custody). Would you agree that this is a case where this is required. Actually, I am referring to transport keys (key exchange keys), not operational keys, so perhaps I am going totally down the wrong path...? From: Rob Schramm rob.schr...@gmail.com To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Sent: Friday, September 14, 2012 10:29 AM Subject: Re: loading cryptographic coprocessor key part registers Frank, That is not true. Try option k. But the only reason you would need it would be if you need to store the operational key parts outside of the mainframe. Also, KGUP should support key part entry... although it is one of the oldest interfaces for ICSF. Auto generating keys is probably be the best if the keys are not required outside of the mainframe.

The problems are that the management of the operational key parts are not really being managed outside of some interface like TKE or DKMS.
