Re: Multiple ISPF session's from an STC

2006-02-13 Thread Itschak Mugzach
I don't thick it is possible. You need to attach the execs as new tasks (you may check if START will work for you), otherwise you will not be able to listen to requestors in your main program. The profile dataset is not a problem as you can share it and use newappl(xxx) to save task related parms.

We have a VTS in our primary site and a VTS in the DR. We tested few methods: 1. Export at primary, import at backup (may be limited tapes). 2. If you don't have a VTS at DR, Ditto has a function to read Exported files, but you need to have a 3590 drive and... It runs so slow! 3.

High disconnect time on IMS vsam db

2005-10-06 Thread Itschak Mugzach
We have a high disconnect time on a IMS vsam database. device is HDS 9980V. I guess this is because the channel program is performing SEEK for a specific block, or Search with Key. Can't see any other reason why this happens. Thanks for your advise. Itschak

Re: High disconnect time on IMS vsam db

2005-10-06 Thread Itschak Mugzach
We do. But this database is almost read only (98.8% of the total IO for the disk drive the DB resides on). There is no RPM miss on that kind of device, so I guess it is a search with key or Seek. I looked at the SSAs but couldn't see any special argument that might cause that. Itschak

We don't use racf to protect SDSF, but if no smf record was created for this failure, you can audit the user activity and look into SMF to see the racf profile and required authority. Itschak -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of

Generally, devices are considered Online/Offline based on the device definition in HCD. MSTRJCL located a dataset (pointed by the catalog) on an offline device. As MSTRJCL does not enqueue the datasets it uses, you can move one the proclibs, uads, etc datasets to another dataset and put the device
