Doug,
As Darth stated, USER is a read only variable passed into the alloc
environment. I don't have access to an environment where I can run a quick test
but I suspect you would get a translate error if you attempted to use a filter
list with name USER.

Brian ,
We have 2 SMSPLEXES within a bronze SYSPLEX.
GRS is common to all LPARS, but most everything else is not.
Now we have a new DB2 application coming that will require application
datasets which will be required to be written to from all LPARS in the PLEX.
I've shared volumes before by
Mark,
SMS keeps space utilization information for each managed volume in the
communications dataset. By allowing multiple SMSplexes to allocate, extend
and delete datasets on the same volume(s), you will likely get these stats
out of whack. The result would be something like never allocating a

I did an inquiry on a tape and it is not Multi-file. The outcode is VMS which
means that they are still offsite. Below is some information:
The blankVMS code in the the outcode means that the tape was sent offsite via
the vaulting portion of CA1 and should be returned to the tape
Esmie,
Oops, Brian is right about the external data manager being the culprit. My
apologies for not looking at your email closely.

You will need to set EDMID=' ' and also FLAG3=00
These field tell CA-1 that the tape is externally managed, so CA-1 will not
return the tape to

to see my IBM-Main messages when I leave Milwaukee. I'll be living on a

But, I still have this nagging idea in my head though that SMS
controlled volumes have sysplex name on them somewhere.
Are you using system (names) or system group(s) in your SMS configuration? Your
system group name needs to match
David,
Yes, we do specify sysgrp. So the production plex is CINPLEX and has
99.9% of the DASD ownership, CINTPLEX is my sometimes up testing
sysplex. CINPLEX would be the name that changes to something else. So
are you saying if I added newPLEX to the SYSGRP list, then I
would/should be good?
Dave,
Are system or installation defined system symbols other than SYSPLEX or
SYSNAME available for use in ACS routines? Looking at the manuals, it
is not clear.
I think godzilla only gives you what is documented in the Storage
Administration Reference. You can easily test this out by trying to

I have an application that has several VSAM datasets.
These datasets currently use NSR (Non Shared Resources).
The Application is written in assembler.
I want to switch some of the Files to use LSR.
If two files share a buffer pool do I need to concern my self with
the contents of the
Good answer :-)
Now, how do I override that? Is there a JCL parameter?
I used release immediate on a management class *once* and quickly changed it.
Your storage admin may have coded the acs routine to accept a management class
value passed in via jcl but not likely. You can use idcams alter

Hello everybody,
Recently we are reviewing our EndOfDay jobs looking for potential performance
improvements (reducing CPU/elapsed time).
We have several jobs sorting big datasets where output is SMS-compressible

When we compare such sorting with sorting on
Your storage admin may have coded the acs routine to accept a management
class value passed in via jcl but not likely.
Why is that not likely?
I've always allowed it.
Especially, since you can over-ride it with IDCAMS.
Most of the time, I've found people don't take the effort to change/control
Alan,
ISTR an option in DFSMS to allow recataloging instead of generating
message IEF287I. Does anyone remember what option that is and where it
is specified?
I think this is one of the few functions of Stopx37 and its ilk that SMS does
not handle.
If anyone knows that I am wrong, please feel

I am trying to change the status of an online volume. It is mounted as
PRIVATE and I want to change it to PUBLIC. I issued the following mount

Bob,
Blocksize matters. You are asking for 1,000,000,000 byte allocation and telling
the system that you can place only 8,918 bytes per track (49 * 182) assuming
3390 geometry. My calculator shows the number of tracks you need is quite a bit
larger than 65,535.
Regards,
John
Jack,
I thought that SMS combined the primary and all of the secondaries to make
the total allocation, not just the primary, Does it fail is you just give
it a primary allocation?
The primary plus all of the secondaries would equal the MAXSIZE value passed
into the ACS routines. The primary

One question I haven't found the answer to: Is there anything special I have
to worry about with the DB2 storage groups and/or classes. I know DB2 has a
thing where it defines one or the other (not sure which) but is there any
connection between the DB2 definition/setting and the
Willie,
I have a DATACLASS defined to use a Volume Count of 5 to allocate specific
dsns for 7 specific alias.
When I exeucted the DEFINE CLUSTER the dataset, which is VSAM, is allocated
with the correct DATACLASS. However, when I execute the batch job to
populate the cluster I abend on
software group and they will
need to add the alias to PRO-SMS which would span both VSAM and NON-VSAM dsns
on multiple volumes should there be a space constraint on the initial volume.

George,
I've got a vendor that is FTP'ing a file size of 96K and I was wondering
if any of the listeners in this group know how to handle a record size
that large? As always your help is appreciated...
The only think I can think of at the moment is to ftp it to a hfs dataset. You

Smart thinking, it didn't even dawn on me to use hfs. Is there a manual
that I can read to learn how?
These are the type of datasets used by Unix System Services. You should be
using these already in some fashion.
Zman is right in asking if the file is truely one long string of bytes
(record).
Neel,
ps. my plan without much detail : DB2 StoGroup, Guaranteed SC,
quiesced volume(s) in same SG as normal.
My experience with DB2 stogroup specifying real volsers and guaranteed
space=yes was that all datasets allocated would go to the first volume until
the allocation would exceed the high

WYLBUR was used at University of Cincinnati in the mid 80's when I was learning

David,
I always thought a null configuration was what you got if there was no IGDSMSxx
member, that's what I remember from one-pack systems but I cannot test it now.
I think that is just not running/starting SMS. Is this an option anymore?
Running SMS with a null configuration is running with

A colleague has posed the following question:
Any idea how to compare an old and new master catalogue to find out what is
missing in the new one? I had to have done this last time I put up a system
but can’t find any doc. Mainstar doesn’t seem to have anything. There are SYS1

Scott,
I have to chime in to the contrary. I seem to remember many data check
errors on 3480 cart media. Am I the only one?
Spencer hit it on the head. The only significant problem with 3480 tapes was
due to faulty media produced by BASF.
