   Try coding your TELNETPARMS as follows - 

TELNETPARMS 
   PORT 23 
ENDTELNETPARMS  
;   
TELNETPARMS 
   SECUREPORT 992 
   SSLTIMEOUT 1

Re: Who changed the mount attrib of a zFS?

[Roger Lowe]

Scott,
I should have been a little more clear on my original post - the 
BPXRMxx parmlib member has the file being mounted in RW mode, but somehow 
during normal operations, the file mount attribute got changed from RW to R. I 
can't use the SMF Type 92 records as they are currently not being recorded :(
I have also looked at the Type 80 records and RACF Event Codes 44 and 55 (Mount 
and UnMount) but that has also been unsuccessful

Re: Automating weight and/or CP changes

[Roger Lowe]

We use a combination of z/OS Capacity Provisioning Manager (CPM) and the 
Schedule Operations task on the HMC on a fortnightly basis to do this.
We use our automation product (CONTROL-O) to issue a command to CPM to increase 
one of our CPCs to its high capacity marker and then have the scheduled 
operation task on the HMC, at a specific time, change the LPAR Weights 
accordingly.

Co:z SFTP and Public/Private Key Authentication

[Roger Lowe]

Hi Listers,
   We are trying to use Co: z SFTP in batch with Public/Private key 
authentication and not having much success.

JCL that we are using:

//SFTPCAT EXEC PROC=SFTPPROC
//SFTPIN DD *   
user=xyz   
host=some.host.name  
lzopts=mode=text  
ldsn=//DD:MYDD
rpat=/u/abc/sftp.txt

. $script_dir/sftp_cat.sh   
/*  
//MYDD  DD DSN=UID.SFTPCAT.DATA,DISP=(,CATLG),UNIT=SYSDA,   
//DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=FB),SPACE=(CYL,(3,1)) 

(some fields have been changed to protect the innocent)
.
When we run the job, it produces the following error message - 
FOTS1373 Permission denied (publickey,password).
.
Have read the documentation and it is still not clear as to what we need to do 
to make use of private/public key authentication
.
Any ideas?
.

 I assume you are referring to IBM Service Request (SR) ..

1. Once you are logged into SR, on the left hand side, you should see a menu 
item called 'Manage Support Registrations' - select sub option  
'User Administration'.
2. You should then see 'User Adminisistration' with a number of tabs labelled 
'Update','Add','Copy','Auto Approval','New Requests'
3. In your case, you should select the 'Add' tab

The rest should be self explanatory .

Hope this helps.

 If you are at z/OS 1.13 or higher, you could use 'Spin any Spin' and

1. spin the dataset at a specified time;
2. spin the dataset at a specified interval;

z/OS 1.13 using Tivoli Directory Server LDAP.

This is more of a What are other companies doing? question.   We started 
using LDAP about a decade ago when it was still under Security Server.  I 
found a freeware version of an LDAP browser/admin tool back then and it has 
more or less been our company standard since.

We're starting to get into heavier use of our LDAP and are starting to have 
some misgivings about using a freeware tool to maintain what is becoming a 
mission-critical database/app/repository.  Not to a point, mind you, where 
we'd be willing to spend money on something.

This post is to poll other z/OS (TDS) users to ask what you're using to for 
your LDAP tool(s)?  I know there are several free/shareware tools out there 
for this type of work.

Put another way, I got the following from my mgmt., I find it hard that IBM 
did not ship product with some user admin presentation side to administer the 
repository.

We have been running LDAP Servers on z for quite a few years now. We started 
off using a freeware utility for browsing/administering the LDAP Servers but 
found that after each z/OS upgrade or maintenance, the freeware utility didn't 
handle certain things. We have now bought  Softerra LDAP Administrator/Browser 
and have had no issues to date browsing or administering LDAP Servers on z.

Although not an exact science, at our site, we use a couple of System Symbols -

Then the sysprog that is installing maintenance into the z/OS environment 
updates these values to the approximate RSU/PUT level that has been installed 
into that particular Target Zone.  We then have a REXX exec that does the 
following

PUT=mvsvar('symdef','putlvl')

RESBLD=mvsvar('symdef','reslvl')
ZOSLVL=mvsvar('SYSOPSYS')

use our automation product to issue Capacity Provisioning Manager commands to

DSS RESTORE with SMS Managed 3584 Library - How??

[Roger Lowe]

Hi,
   We have an SMS Managed 3584 Tape Library and would now like to use DFDSS 
RESTORE on our One Pack system to restore some dasd volumes from our weekly 
backup tapes as a recovery exercise.
I have managed to vary online one of the drives to our one pack system and then 
used the web gui on the TS3500 to move the tape I require into the drive that 
is online to our one pack system - all seems to be good so far. 
However, when I run the batch DFDSS RESTORE job, I get the following message 
"IEF343I VOLRSTJB RESTORE TAPE - REQUEST FAILED - NOT ENOUGH NON-SYSTEM MANAGED 
VOLUMES ELIGIBLE"
.
As this is a one pack system, there isnt a valid SMS environment but somehow 
zOS knows that either the drive and/or the tape volume is under SMS management
.
Does anyone have any idea as to how to resolve this?
.
I did find  the following thread - 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bit.listserv.ibm-main/mnyNGm6GzEg but 
it is referring more to the standalone DSS services
.
Thanks, Roger

Hi All,
Just a curiosity question - how many of you have zAware configured and 
actively in use in your environment?

You can either reply to the List or offline to me..

Re: job output into dataset

[Roger Lowe]

As of zOS 1.13 and later,  JES2 provides the ability to 'spin' any SPIN spool 
datasets based on command, size or time (interval or absolute).

SPIN=(UNALLOC,value) where value is one of:
• ‘hh:mm’ – Spin data set at specified time
• ‘+hh:mm’ – Spin data set at interval specified
• nnn [K|M] – Spin every nnn records
• NOCMD – Cannot spin data set by command 
• CMDONLY – Spin only when a command is issued

Have a look in the JCL Reference for further details.

Re: JES2 Sizer in z/OS V2.3

You can also run the JES2 Init Deck checker as a batch job.


//JES2 EXEC JES2
//IEFPROC.HASPLIST DD SYSOUT=Z (override of the DD in the JES2 proc as I 
wanted the report from the checker to go to a different sysout)

Since the site I work at uses System Symbolics in the JES2 proc, you need to 
ensure the job class you run the job in has Systems Symbols enabled.

As part of the report produced by running the above -

Kees,
   The hardware messages icon should be blue (indicating a h/w message). 
You should then single click on the CPC (again it should be coloured blue) and 
then hardware messages and whatever h/w message should then displayed in a 
popup window. 
You can also setup, via the Monitor System Events task in the Console Actions 
Work Area and setup an alert(s) to send an email - this is what we do and it 
works quite well
.

Also noted that you have FICON Express16s with 8Gbps SFP - have you checked

Try  invoking the 'Channel Problem Determination' task on the HMC. There are

These might be silly questions  but- 
1.  Is the installed FOS Release on DCX a Ficon Supported and Certified 
Release?. 
2. Is the z13 FICON Express16s CHPID attached to one DCX with the TARGET CU on 
a different DCX ? - possible High Integrity Fabric setup issue?

Again, if you have RMF at your site, you could something similar to what we 
have done using RMFM3B to write out to syslog/operlog what our Group Capacity 
usage are for our various environments. An example:
 +RMF300I 3B: Processing CPC Report...

 +MVS1 - RMF301I: 4H Average: 2
 +MVS1 - RMF302I: 4H Max: 3
 +MVS1 - RMF303I: WLM Capping %:  0.0  
 +MVS1 - RMF304I: Group Name: GRPDEVT  
 +MVS1 - RMF305I: Group Limit: 9  
 +MVS1 - RMF306I: Time until Capping: 195 minutes  
.
Using the above info, you could certainly then setup whatever automation 
package you have to trap on the relevant fields
.
Have a look in your *.SERBCLS dataset (members ERBM3B and ERBR3CPC) and that 
will give you a good starting point to set something up to fit your 
requirements. As Vince said, you are basically asking/wanting someone else to 
do the leg work for you for free and that ain't going to happen any time soon! 

Just to provide you with another source of RMF related info/goodies -

You could try using the RACF SEARCH command. You will need to manipulate the

I just don't want to have to invoke the SMP/E Dialogs just to get a listing of

Retrieval of HOLDDATA and then a second step in the job to produce a listing of

The "SafeGuarded Copy"  feature of the IBM DS8000 disk subsystem creates 
backups  that are not accessible by the host and protects them  from corruption 
that can occur in the production environment.  Safeguarded Copy can create 
multiple backups on a regular basis, such as hourly or daily.

Don't have access yo an OS/390 system (HCD), but are you sure you are going 
into the right optionns in HCD?
1. Go to Option 1 "Operating System Configuration"
2. Select the OS Config applicable
3. Select sub option 5 "Work with EDTs"
4.  Select the EDT and it shuld then display one or more estoreics
5. Select appropriate esoteric and follow the bouncing ball ..

I don' think these particular HCD options have changed over the various 
releases of OS/390 or z/OS

Ant,
 Not quite what I was afterI am basically after what can be done via 
the SMP/E Dialogs but in batch. In the SMP/E Dialogs, I can go to the FIXCATS 
and then select 'YES' to 'Explore Fix Categories'. Then on the command line, I 
would issue 'E' (Expand All) and this would give me all the various Fix 
Categories - this is what I am after but can't seem to find a way of getting 
such a report in batch.

Bob,
  This is the list I have - you will also note that the very first line 
shows 'No Fix Categories are new since 2018/09/19' which was when I last did an 
internet service retrieval of HOLDDATA for our zOS 2.3 environment. I would 
guess that the FIXCATs are not static over zOS nor SMP/E releases

No Fix Categories are new since 2018/09/19.

Re: SE/HMC driver update duration

Have you checked on IBM Resourcelink for your machine(s), the number of missing 
EC/MCLs? You can then use this info and list off the missing MCL details and/or 
HMC MCL Details and then ask your IBM SSR to provide more details on each of 
them and this might give you a better insight into the timings.

If you are way behind in your EC/MCL levels then it is a possibility as some of 
the underlying MCLs for the SE could require "mirroring" between the two SEs 
and this has been known to take some time along with SE Reboot(s).

At our site, we try and do a regular (every 3 months or so) MCL run and have 
never seen a requirement of up to 2 days 

Hope the above helps.

The HWIBCPII task would usually be started at IPL time but you can also issue 
the "S HWISTART" command to start/restart it. There is a very good presentation 
from Steve Warren "BCPii for Dummies: Start to Finish  - Installation, Setup 
and Usage". Do a Google search for it. 
There are some setup tasks to be done on the HMC, RACF (or whatever ESM you 
use) definitions.

If you want to make use of things such as Capacity Provisioning Manager (CPM), 
AutoIPL etc, then BCPii needs to be in place.

Have a look in "hlq.SBLSCLI0(ADYUPDAT)" and you can possibly use that to manage 
DAE as one of the options is CLEANUP and with that you can specify that entries 
older than so many days are deleted - no need to compress DAE.

zOSMF-print from Software Management

[Roger Lowe]

As PMA is no longer supported under zOS 2.4, I am using the View -> Products, 
Features, and FMIDs action for a software instance defined to z/OSMF Software 
Management and would like to be able to print the resulting information. 
However, there doesn't appear to be a print or export function 
Any ideas?

Gadi,
  Have a look at BVIR and VEHSTATS. These are part of the IBM TAPETOOLS 
package and you should be able to download it from 
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/tapetool/

You may also find  
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/tapetool/TS7700_Starting_with_VEHSTATS.pdf a

Mark,
   Have a look in the DFSMSrmm Implementation and Customization Guide - it

Have you tried using IEHLIST?

//S001 EXEC PGM=IEHLIST
//FILE DD UNIT=DISK,VOL=SER=??,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD   SYSOUT=Z   
//SYSINDD   *

 Ed,
 We use PDUU with HTTPS and it works very well - it was introduced with zOS 
2.4 but I think OA55959 provides support back to zOS 2.1.
