Re: SMS managed volume
mark,, The Not defined can mean: Not defined means that the storage group or volume (specified on this command) is specified in the SMS configuration as not being connected to this MVS system. If the storage group or volume is not defined in the active configuration, a message indicates that the system rejects this command for that reason.

Re: CATALOG QUESTION - CORRECT AN ALIAS PROBLEM
The best way to resolve this issue is to do the following: 1) Make sure the type of data set (VSAM vs. NON VSAM). If you have VSAM cataloged in the MCAT you will need to work a little harder. 2) Uncatalog all of the NON Vsam data sets in the Master Cat 3) Build the Alias for the HLQ 4) Recatalog all of the data sets. If you have vsam in the mcat, I would probably use a DFDSS DUMP with Delete for all of the files in the mcat, build the alias, then restore the files with catalog. I ususally have my MCAT with READ only access to prevent this type of issue. Lizette I am working on a problem regarding a TSO alias which was not created but for some unexplicable reason I find about 15 dsns have been cataloged in the MCAT. My question is how can I fix this problem - have the dsns created in the proper UCAT. I looked at the option of using REPRO MERGECAT in the IDCAMS doc. Is that the correct decision? My plan is to define the alias in the proper UCAT and then execute the following jcl. //STEP1EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,REGION=2048K,TIME=1440 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSINDD * REPRO - INDATASET(SYS1.SHR.MCAT) - OUTDATASET(MBC.CSTMCAT) - ENTRIES(CTPRX23) - MERGECAT /* Will this do the job?

Re: JES2 DD Concatenation issue
Jacky, You cannot move a JES2 JCL defined PROCLIB while JES2 is up. If it is in an SMS Managed pool, you probably need to look at coding PROCLIB statements in JES2 rather than the JCL. Mark makes a valid point. When JES2 had JCL coded PROCLIBs they are not ENQUEUED so if your security product does not have the general access of READ and only a few groups that have ALTER, you can have these types of issues. I would recommend that your security product specify a UACC of READ (if you are a RACF Shop) and only the group responsible to support JES2 have ALTER. When a JES2 JCL defined proclib is delete JES2 does not care. Once JES2 has opened the PROCLIB data set it builds a TTR list and uses that rather than going back to the dataset. It just reads the TTR pointers it built for that data sets. I do not have the in depth details on how that works, but if you are interested, I am sure there are several on this list (like Mark Z) who can provide that. Once the TTRs are built, if the data set is deleted, JES2 just goes on using those TTRs to access the procs. Should you compress JES2 JCL defined proclib you can run into similar issues, though I think you the a HASP message that states an I/O error has occurred. My preference has always been for the use of JCLLIB statements in Application JCL, and PROCLIB statements to reduce these types of errors in JES2. Should the recommended actions not correct the problem, you will most likely need to bounce JES2 so it can find the new home of the proclib data set and rebuild its TTRs. If you do need to abend JES2 you do not need to stop work. However, I think things that use the SAPI interface may abend with JES2. This is like VPS or similar products. IIRC, I have abended JES2 and not really seen any issues with currently running work. Lizette Hi, In our system for JES2 RBI1.PROCLIB and RBI2.PROCLIB were defined in sequence resp. Later due to some reason RBI1.PROCLIB was deleted and recreated. But after that we are facing problem that PROCs from the RBI1.PROCLIB are not getting invoked. What could be the problem ? That RBI1.PROCLIB was deleted! ;-) Even though the library is not ENQed by JES2 (due to the NODSI entry in the PPT) the library is still in use. If the proclib is defined in the JES2 JCL you'll have to $PJES2,ABEND and restart JES2. If you are using dynamic proclibs, just issue $TPROCLIB(*) and that should fix it. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: JES2 DD Concatenation issue
Jacky - Once JES2 has started the CATALOG is no longer part of JES2's process to find its JCL defined Proclibs. JES2 builds an internal table that probably holds information like the data set name, the volser and the TTR locations in that dataset for the PROCs. You can with the appropriate ALTER authority go out and delete - define - catalog the JES2 PROCLIB anywhere. JES2 does not enqueue this data set. Therefore the CATALOG and JES2 can disagree on where the proclib actually lives. The only way to get this correct is to reallocate the proclib back on the original volume in the original location and pray that no one has already overlaid the TTRs where the JES2 Proclib use to live. Otherwise, if the proclib on the new volumes is good, you will need to bounce JES2 (HOT START) This is done with a $PJES2,ABEND. You will need to reply with the appropriate response. JES2 will then find the new home for this JCL defined Proclib.

Re: CPU-Time in z/Os-System. Is The Cpu Time In z/Os-systems A Meaningful Indication?
Differences in runtime can be a variety of reasons. Do you have any performance reporting tools like STROBE or do you know how to use RMF or SMF reporting functions? Do you have MICS or MXG? More or less, it could be due to any of the following 1) Changes in file size 2) Changes in workload during this run 3) Changes in DB2 workload 4) Other performance issues in the system at the time. Tape or DASD used by this job can impact run time. 5) How busy was your system this time compared to last time it ran? The numbers 11.25 means 11 mins and 25 seconds. That in itself is not always an issue. Did you meet your SLAs for this job? Jobs can vary in runtime. You need to have a baseline that says this job will usually run in 10 mins. If it runs over 20 mins it is a problem.

Re: Standalone restarting the JES2 in the sysplex

JES2 in a MAS will not WARM start easily once the other systems are up. Plus, JES2 is smarter today than it was years ago and can determine how it wants to restart to some extent.

Re: DB2 Upgrade
Mike, It is more than just SMPE. You have to run the DB2 processes to complete the upgrade. I have not installed DB2 in a few years. But there are some customization clists you need to run which will work on your DB2 Catalogs and Tables. You can do the update so long as you script the process. I have not had any issues as a z/OS Sysprog doing DB2 Ugrades. But I have also been lucky enough to have some DB2 training. If you do not have any DB2 training, then it may make it more interesting. Length of time will depend on the type of envionment (1 DB2 vs. 100 DB2 regions).

Re: Modify DSCB information
Jacky, It depends on what you want to change and the reason for the change. Is this to prevent space abends or some other reason? If the items are controlled by DFSMS (Storclas, Mgmtclass, etc.) you can use the ISMF panels to alter a data set. If it is things in a LISTCAT you can see if IDCAMS can help. Depending on how the data set is allocated at the time, some things may work and some may not. As for space allocation, for VSAM use IDCAMS (so long as the correct SHAREOPTIONS are in use), for NONVSAM you will need to have control over the data set. Products like the old STOPX37 would intercept allocation process and add volumes or increase space to prevent (or reduce) SX37 Abends.

Re: Offload Process to change dasd types for spool
I have been answering some of Angels questions off list. They are running JES2 V1.8. Here is what I have provided so far Angel, I prefer tape to dasd, less chance for data loss due to space issues. In the JES2 V1.8 Commands book there is a specification for the VOLUME that can be added to the $TOFF commands. Volume=volume The volume serial (5-6 characters) of a volume containing a spool data set. If Volume is also specified in the WS= list, only those jobs that reside on one or more of the specified volume(s) can be selected for dumping. You may specify up to 4 volumes. Multiple entries must be separated by commas and the list must be enclosed in parentheses. If volume is not a criterion for job selection, specify a null parameter of (Volume=()) and do not specify Volume in the WS= list. You must specify the empty parentheses (). You also need to make sure that the jobs on that volume are not being held. Some jobs can have a hold on sysout which remains on spool until that hold portion is also gone. It maybe that the reason the spool volume is not drained is because of output that has not completely purged. In SDSF one of the displays I like to do is in the ST panel for all jobs. Then sort on QUE column. Then look for $MASCOM just scroll back from there. You may find some jobs that have not completed output processing and are in OUTPUT que.

Lizette
That doesn't help if you want the programmer to work on a program but you
don't want him to take it with him.
If he can read it, he can copy it.
And, how protecting IND$FILE will not be enough.
There are many methods, but the crudest one cannot be protected except by
giving the programmer an old 3270 green screen (actually, take the PC away
from him (8-{}).
Even a green screen is no guarantee if the programmer smuggles a
camera into the office and takes pictures as he scrolls. Tedious
perhaps, but it would work.
Or, he could just write down on paper everything he sees on the screen.
Or, maybe he could just memorize it.

Adding a Frame to a Tape Library

Re: Help with applying maintenance
Tom, I think that issue is when you are on the edge with space in the dataset. Every time you copy the member (plus whatever aliases) you create a second copy of the original member. If you do a purge of the file, compress and load, you only have the one copy (plus whatever aliases) and so it just might fit. The problem is a compress only removes the gas members and does not necessarily allow for two copies of the same member. HTH. Lizette sorry, I mean take a backup then cleaning up the library and move all data back. this just another option. How does that differ from a compress?

Re: SMS PUZZLE
And you can also have a list of IDs that can do anything in SMS that can thwart the intent of the ACS code. Lizette ... Your logic must honor (ie, allow) specific dataset placement when a volser is coded. It may be part of a compound test. Not necessarily. There are certainly times when ACS routines need to allow a data set to be placed on a non-sms volume, but that usually shouldn't be triggered just by the specification of a UNIT or VOLUME parameter. Remember that SMS was intended to work without ordinary users having to change their JCL. As a result, it is not uncommon for old JCL to still have UNIT and VOLUME information in them. SMS assigns the data regardless.

Re: Shop zSeries Ordering Issues
Linda, Yes my shop loves the internet process for serverpac. This came about because our z/OS V1.7 order was incorrectly created and somehow in that process IBM appears to have lost our license for PSF even though it is installed and properly licensed. I will definitely spend some time at the next SHARE I attend with the ShopzSeries group. I find their website is not idiot proof. Lizette []-- Snip I ran into this when I ordered 1.7, but I had uploaded a fresh (and complete) consolidated inventory report, so it just caused a minor delay and a phone call to get the process moving again. When I ordered 1.8 (just under the wire time wise), I had to order without a consolidated inventory report because my 1.7 wasn't installed yet. I did the same thing you did for a couple of products, also not realizing how painful that would be. Anyway, while I was a Share in Tampa, (Feb 07) this issue came up in one of the sessions. Apparently, there have been quite a few folks who have tried to slip in a few extra products, causing lots of upset too. After the first sign in page for Shop zSeries there is a link for My Licensed Software. You get the report immediately and it includes all the info you might need to verify with an invoice, including dates for all of the software that Shop zSeries has you licensed for. I have found that report most helpful in that if anything is not as it should be, it is much easier to correct before you do your Shop zSeries order. Depending on the products, you might not have to resubmit your order. My understanding is that dynamic activation products ship with every order, so you could turn then on later with the parmlib update. Have you tried internet delivery for your ServerPac?

Re: How to allocate multiple uncataloged datasets?
I guess you are using TSO ALLOCATE Command but I am not sure if this is

But basically you will need to allocate each individual data set on a
separate DD then concatenate the DDs.
For example
TSO ALLOCATE DD(DD1) DA(dsn1) VOL(vol1) SHR
TSO ALLOCATE DD(DD2) DA(dsn2) VOL(vol2) SHR
And so on
Then the input file of your dreams would be
TSO CONCAT(DD1 DD2 etc...)
The CONCAT is on the CBT TAPE File 535

Re: Server Pac Download Errors
Thanks for the response, I just did not realize that this type of job would take close to 10 hours to pull the serverpac from the IBM server and that there might be time outs causing resubmissions. I was hoping for one continuous job run. I also learned that my 10,000 cy HFS file I am using for this download from IBM to my HFS file took 95% of this file. I guess I am going to beg my Storage guys to get me 1 or 2 MOD-27 volumes for this process.

Re: Server Pac Download Errors
Linda, Thanks for your response, that makes more sense now. I thought perhaps I was doing something incorrectly. But since you have a similar experience, I will just add to my notes for the future that this is just one of those time consuming processes that will probably get time outs. Now, all I have to worry about is space for the receiving HFS. :-D Lizette [] -- Snip Like any other IP process, speed is determined by a number of things, bandwidth, sever load, number of hops, etc. I pulled down 2 years worth of maint for a 1.4 system a couple of years or so and it took a liitle over 17 hours and broke on timeouts a bunch of times. I just followed the directions in the JCL each time I restarted and it finally finished. I was fine.

Re: ADRDSSU to dump Selective mebers of PDS to PS or Tape
If you have SAS on the mainframe then you can use the SAS UNLOAD function and
select members. It creates an IEBUPDTE output file which is readable.
PROC SOURCE INDD=INDD OUTDD=OUTDD ;
EXCLUDE=BOO: ; (Or INCLUDE=XXX: for all members beginning with XXX)
PROC SOURCE INDD=INDD OUTDD=OUTDD ;
The example above will dump the entire PDS as IEBUPDTE.
Otherwise DFDSS will only create output readable by DFDSS. What is the
function you are trying to create? Backup process, Archive process? Audit
Control?
Lizette
I am trying to use ADRDSSU with Dump option to dump all my PDS members
using Include option. But the file created with dump option is with Record
length 80 and data is not viewable / meaningful format.
I tried the ADRDSSU with PRINT option too.Which also yielded the same result.
The Following is the output iam getting with the JCL as shown:
//STEP010 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU,COND=(0,NE)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//INPUT12 DD DSN=xx.xxx.,DISP=SHR (PDS dataset name)
//BKFILEDD DSN=SVRB.MDM.RAINQ.TEST.PROC1,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
DUMP INDDNAME(INPUT12) OUTDDNAME(BKFILE)
/*

Ø .BMBB.^·°.i...0Û.0..ÿ.¬Õ.Ø.{..[EMAIL

Ø .BMBB.^[0.i.0.8.

Could anyone offer any help on this.
Further, I also need to produce a Dump of members named AMP* friom my list
of PDS files only.

EDC5133I during ServerPac run
I am trying to understand this error message EDC5133I No space left on device. I looked it up and it did not help. I tried reallocating the file I thought it was complaining about and that was not the one. I finally found a better direction on the CA website and it indicated that the /tmp file was full. This seemed to have been my problem. What I would like to know (since I am not conversant in UNIX) is what does mounting this file with PARM(-s 100) do for me? According to CA's entry it would help.

Re: EDC5133I during ServerPac run
Thanks Mark, It will mean that I have to read up on how to implement the DFS and zFS functions in my environment to provide this type of support for HFS. I have reallocated and mounted my /tmp as 7000 cyls. I hope this is enough. However, the Serverpac seems smart enough to allow me to restart from the top each time and only pax those things not yet pax'd. Lizette That means create a TFS with a size of 100M. I always have had /tmp as a HFS (and now zFS). If you need to allocate it any larger, you may want to consider running it as a colony address space, otherwise the memory is taken from the private storage of the kernel. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: ADD library to Linklst
Replacing a library in the LNKLSTxx is more complicated than just adding one. TMON replaces the library at the bottom of the list which may explain your 0C4s. To remove/add a library you do the following (IIRC) 1) Create a new LNKLSTxx from the currently active one 2) Using the z/OS Commands update the new list with the library, 3) Activate the new library. When you activate the new library, if anything still is using the old LNKLSTxx list, then it will still use that list. My preference would be to steplib until you can IPL in a new version of LNKLSTxx. Lizette I am upgrading EZTRIEVE and am trying to add a PDSE to LNKLST00: We went into TMON and added the new PDSE and removed the old PDS. We refreshed LLA.

Re: ADD library to Linklst
my preference, is to do testing with steplib/joblib first. If everything looks go, then I empty teh LNKLST'd data set, load it with the new code, then LLA Refresh or LLA UPDATE, depending. I do not like adding libraries to the Lnklst. It can add to confusion if someone else works on a problem and did not know I did that. As for PDSMAN, it can automatically pick up a Lnklst change and do the LLA without Stopping PDSMAN. Lizette I have used TMON to delete and add a library to the link list. As we run PDSMAN must stop PDSMAN, refresh LLA, and start PDSMAN. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Server Pac Issues with z/OS V1.9 SB37 SYSUT1 and other stuff
I just wanted to let everyone know of an issue I had with the Serverpac Install. First, YES - I did not read the PSP. So it is not a surprise I made a small miscalculation. In Dec 2007 there was a fix that was release for GIMUNZIP. It has to do with SB37 abends on SYSUT1 during the Unzip of a PDS/E (POE) data set. Apparently IBM has hardcoded in the GIMUNZIP process how much space to dynamically allocate for SYSUT1 when recreating the PDS/E data set from teh archive file. This is what causes the SB37. The SCEEMOD2 data set is much bigger today than under z/OS V1.7. So I had to install the following fixes UO00674 UO00678 and UO00649. Once I had these installed and added (apf' authorized) to the RECEIVE JOBLIB statement, everything is running much better. There are two issues that I will bring up with IBM at the next Share I attend. Why is this hardcoded and not part of an ARCHDEF control card statement? And two, we have FASTCOPY (PDSMAN) in shop. I have to manually add the JCL statement //FCOPYOFF DD DUMMY to all steps before I submit. Otherwise I get bad errors when FASTCOPY tries to work on PDSE data sets. Anyway, so much for not reading.
