Average MIPS consumed

2012-06-14 Thread Jake anderson
Hi All,

Good Morning !!

We have IEFACTRT exit routine installed in our shop which shows the Job
condition code and the CPU value. Here one of our Application developer is
interested to know the value in MIPS for a Job. I checked one article which
says like


http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/convert-cpu-time-into-mips/



This makes the assumption that the job is not multi-tasking either through
 it's own code or with the built-in cpu parallelism of DB2.

 1) divide the cpu time by the elapsed time
 2) divide the total processor MIPS by the number of engines on the
 processor
 3) multiply the two above results together

 Example:

 1) A job that ran for 60 minutes consumed 20 minutes of cpu time. So 20/60
 = .33

 2) The processor has a 6 engines and a total of 1200 MIPS. So 1200/6 = 200
 MIPS per engine.

 3) 200*.33 = 66 MIPS

 Bill



Can we really represent the Total CPU time taken for a Job in MIPS(average)
? Does it really makes sense to represent the CPU time in MIPS ? To be
honest our shop does not own any SAS or MXG to process the RAW data on SMF
Record 30 type, but yes I do have a unconventional way of Processing the
SMF records but again it shows only CPU time taken.

Could anyone please shed some light on the above.

Jake

 If you mean that they FTP transferred an XMIT file via an intermediate

 non printable character, you don't get back the original file. The reason
 is because multiple EBCDIC characters translate to the same ASCII
 character. So there is NO way to know what the original character is.
 
 The OP sent me, privately, a sample of his data.  Excerpts from
 my analysis/reply to him:

 It was apparently a PDS containing several (perhaps 5) Rexx EXECs.

 Apparently a TRANSMIT OUTDATASET() was performed.  That output
 data set, about 100kB, was FTPed to the PC in ASCII mode.  Is
 the EBCDIC instance lost from z/OS?

 Recovery is tedious.  I haven't the resources to help you further.
 Some of the members (a little more than half the content) had

Convert Text to XMIT

Dear List,

Are there any possibilities of converting TEXT file to XMIT format. Since
some of our home grown IMS tools were XMITED improperly with TEXT file. So
just trying to know if the TEXT file can be FTPed and received all its
member to a PDS.

Has anyone recovered the TEXT file to XMIT ?

 If you used TRANSMIT and RECEIVE and a problem occurred, open a PMR
 against TRANSMIT or RECEIVE.

 If you used something else, try using TRANSMIT and RECEIVE instead.

  The server exits are pretty easy to install and test.  You can use a
  STEPLIB
  in your FTP server proc and put the exits in there.  Changes are picked
 up
  right away, since the FTP server spawns a new address space for each
  session.  Just assemble and link your exit to the STEPLIB library and
  connect to the server.
 
  The exits need to be in an APF authorized library, and must be
  program-controlled, like this:
 
   RDEF PROGRAM FTCHKCMD ADDMEM ('LOAD.LIBRARY.NAME'/volser /NOPADCHK)
  UACC(READ)
   SETR WHEN(PROGRAM) REFRESH
 
  Failure to do this will result in messages like this to the console:
 
   ICH420I PROGRAM FTCHKCMD FROM LIBRARY LOAD.LIBRARY.NAME CAUSED THE
  ENVIRONMENT TO BECOME UNCONTROLLED
   BPXP014I ENVIRONMENT MUST BE CONTROLLED FOR DAEMON (BPX.DAEMON)
  PROCESSING.
 
  You can make SAF (RACROUTE) calls from the exits.
 
  The number of parameters passed to the exits can change from release to
  release, so be sure to check the second parameter, which tells you how
 many
  parameters are passed.
 
  Hope this helps.

 If you code it like this, then when you have a second set of SYSRES

 say TSTRS1, TSTRS2, TSTRS3, SYSR1 will resolve to TSTRS1 as you want but
 SYSR2 will still resolve to the MTSRS2, not TSTRS2.

 This code says set the value of SYSR2 to the first three characters of
 SYSR1 followed by the characters RS2.  When you IPL from MTSRS1, the first
 three characters of SYSRS1 are MTS so SYSRS2 resolves to MTSRS2.  And
 when
 you IPL from TSTRS1, the first three characters are TST so SYSR2 will
 resolve to TSTRS2.  This insures that SYSRS1, SYSRS2, and SYSRS3 always
 resolve to the three volumes that are part of a matched set.

 ::SYMDEF(SYSR3='SYSR1(1:3).RS3') /* third SYSRES logical

 ::  extension  */
 ::

 :: Could anyone please explain me about the above syntax. How to make use

 The only change you need to make to the above is to decide how many volumes
 are involved.  My last system (1.11) had only two 3390-9s so I didn't
 bother
 with SYSRS3.

 If you code it like this, then when you have a second set of SYSRES
 volumes,
 say TSTRS1, TSTRS2, TSTRS3, SYSR1 will resolve to TSTRS1 as you want but
 SYSR2 will still resolve to the MTSRS2, not TSTRS2.

 This code says set the value of SYSR2 to the first three characters of
 SYSR1 followed by the characters RS2.  When you IPL from MTSRS1, the first
 three characters of SYSRS1 are MTS so SYSRS2 resolves to MTSRS2.  And
 when
 you IPL from TSTRS1, the first three characters are TST so SYSR2 will
 resolve to TSTRS2.  This insures that SYSRS1, SYSRS2, and SYSRS3 always
 resolve to the three volumes that are part of a matched set.

 ::SYMDEF(SYSR3='SYSR1(1:3).RS3') /* third SYSRES logical
 ::  extension  */

 The only change you need to make to the above is to decide how many volumes
 are involved.  My last system (1.11) had only two 3390-9s so I didn't
 bother
 with SYSRS3.

Hello All,

First of all apology for asking a very basic question and being ignorant.In
our shop we have two sysres volumes MTSRS1, MTSRS2,MSTRS3 so during SYSRES

symbolic parameter at IEASYMxx member. My only basic question is that will
it be wise enough to code like below :

SYMDEF(SYSR2='MTSRS2')
SYMDEF(SYSR3='MTSRS3').

Hey Mike/Russell/All,

Thanks for giving an explanation. Yes the Device D72D is Dasd Device
Address which is specifically used for allocating temporary datasets, but
when I check if this device is exhausted it isn't really instead the
temporary dataset volumes are 73% free.

However, IEH605I is interesting - it gives device as D72D - yet your JCL
specified UNIT 890.  So which is the actual tape drive you wanted to use?
Did your ACS routines direct the allocation to some wrong device?

Yes here the ACS plays a vital role in directing the allocation to a device
D72D which is exclusively being used for holding temporary datasets.

Be sure SMS ACS does not direct your allocation to wrong device

IEE457I 08.01.02 UNIT STATUS 425
UNIT TYPE STATUSVOLSER VOLSTATE
D72D 3390 A TEMP02 PRIV/RSDN

Is it possible to direct the allocation on a NON-sms volume ?

 Mike might be on to something. If the device you want to be allocated on is
 outside the robot; you might also have to code STORCLAS=DUPT@SMS to force
 SMS to not attempt to allocate it inside the robot. If device D72D is a
 dasd
 device, that would indicate your ACS routines have re-directed the
 allocation to dasd from the specific unit type.

 Seems there is enough to go on, isnt there?
 IEH627I you found the msg explanation and from that the reason code says it
 an internal error not related to dynamic exits.
 So based on that you would call IBM for support - if it was available.

 However, IEH605I is interesting - it gives device as D72D - yet your JCL
 specified UNIT 890.  So which is the actual tape drive you wanted to use?
 Did your ACS routines direct the allocation to some wrong device?

 IEH607I just says there was no other allocated tapes to try.

 Be sure you specify DEFER on the UNIT keyword.
 Be sure SMS ACS does not direct your allocation to wrong device.

 If you have rmm running - use EDGINERS instead of IEHINITT - but same JCL
 requirements for UNIT with DEFER

Yes ACS routines are overriding it. 890 is our TAPE device.

 is a temporary DSN and DISP=(NEW,DELETE,DELETE), and so I would guess that
 the SMS routines are being invoked and trying to allocate a temporary disk

 Yes ACS routines are overriding it. 890 is our TAPE device.

 That depends on your site.  Is there a storclas name that tells your ACS

 there a high level qualifier (perhaps T.) that tells your ACS routines the
 dataset should be allocated to tape?  Are your tapes SMS managed?  What

 volser

2012-04-02 Thread Jake anderson
Hi,

To put more clarity :

We are able to run daily back using the tape Device 890 but this seems to
be wide spread issue when it comes during for Tape initialization. What I
deduce from the error message(DD statement) is that 890 device seems to be
invalid. I also see that 890 is properly added in our IODF.

This really looks strange.

Re: Initialize Tape Options

2012-04-01 Thread Jake anderson
Dear All,

Reason for opting another option to initialize was due to the below abend :

SYSTEM SUPPORT UTILITIES  IEHINITT


 TAPE INITT SER=Z9BQB1
 0007

 IEH627I VOLUME NOT LABELED , REASON CODE = 1000. REFER TO MESSAGE
 MANUAL FOR FOR EXPLANATION  OF BIT SETTINGS

 IEH605I INVALID DEVICE ALLOCATED ON D72D


 IEH607I ALLOCATED DEVICES EXHAUSTED


JCL :

//TAPEINIT JOB MSGCLASS=X,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),CLASS=T,
// NOTIFY=SYSUID
//STEP1EXEC PGM=IEHINITT
//TAPE DD UNIT=890,LABEL=(1,SL)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSINDD *
TAPE INITT SER=Z9BQB1

   ]






Z/os : 1.8

Lookat explanation :

Explanation:

The volume was not labeled as a result of exit processing. The reason for
the failure is encoded (hex representation) in the reason code, which maps
directly to the settings in the four-byte field INXNLBRS in macro IEHUEXIT,
which normally resides in SYS1.MACLIB. The macro should be referenced for
the very latest mapping. However, the bit definitions current at the time
of this edition are:
 Byte 1 ww  X'80' Error on call to CSVDYNEX. X'40' An exit routine abended.
X'20' Invalid return code from exit routine (not 0, 4, 8). X'10' Invalid
reason code from exit routine (not 0, 4). X'08' A previous exit indicated
that the volume is not to be labeled. X'04' Conflicts in the results from
calls to exits have been encountered. X'02' At least one exit routine
returned rc=0 with a modified volser and either other exit routines
returned rc=0 without modifying the volser, or the modified volser's didn't
match. X'01' Two or more exits requested that the volser be changed, but
the changed volsers don't match.  Byte 2 xx  X'80' An exit routine
requested no OWNERID change, but another exit requested an OWNERID change.
X'40' Two or more exits requested that the OWNERID be changed, but the
changed OWNERIDs don't match. X'20' An exit routine requested no ACCODE
change, but another exit requested ACCODE change. X'10' Two or more exits
requested that the ACCODE be changed, but the changed ACCODEs don't match.
X'08' A conflict in the return codes returned by the exit routines was
detected. One routine returned a 0 and another returned an 8. X'04' Invalid
volser character supplied by an exit routine. X'02' Invalid OWNERID
character supplied by an exit routine. X'01' Invalid ACCODE character
supplied by an exit routine.  Byte 3 yy  X'80' There is a conflict in rc=8
reason code processing. An exit routine returned rsn=4, requesting remount
and another returned rsn=0, indicating don't label the tape at all. X'40' An
exit routine requested remount but no new volser was provided. X'20' Conflict
in remount volser value. New volser values don't match. X'10' Failure in
internal processing not related to dynamic exits services. X'08' Operator
replied to skip labeling the volume. X'04' Mounted volume is file
protected. X'02' Reserved. X'01' Reserved.  Byte 4 zz  X'FF' Reserved.
System action:

Processing will continue with next INITT control card, if possible.
Conditions such as failures in the CSVDYNEX facility will prevent
continuation.
Operator response:

None.
System programmer response:

A System Programmer may need to investigate some failures, particularly
those associated with the CSVDYNEX facility itself. Other failures that may
require such attention would be those associated with conflicts between
exit routines.


Is there anyone who has faced this similar issue at your shops ?

 Actually, the CA-1 utility does not invoke IEHINITT. After doing the
 administration (validating the tape is in scratch status), we re-write the
 VOL1/HDR1 records with the defined volser. And there is an option to do a
 secure erase of the remainder of the tape if desired (though for a 3590
 that
 might take a while).

found that these files are called key database and used for SSL. But not
much information.Now going forward we dont want to copy these file,
whenever we create new system rather we want to build these file newly on

  To my understanding, that's half right.  It happens when  a userid is

  catalog is *not* suitably protected.
 
  I have a question on terminology:  someone stated here lately that

Logger dataset clarification

2012-01-09 Thread Jake anderson
Hi Group,

In one of our test system we have encountered an error as : IXGH008E : One
or more log streams encountered a staging data set full condition sincestart
date (GMT). From the IBM manual I understand that the below troubleshoot
will resolve the error .

Troubleshoot :

 System programmer response:

Consider taking one or more of the following actions:

   - Resolve any log stream offload constraints.
   - Increase the size of the staging data set.
   - Decrease the HIGHOFFLOAD for one or more of the affected log streams.
   - Increase the LOWOFFLOAD for one or more of the affected log streams.
   - Use the CFSizer to obtain an appropriate size for the structure if the
   log stream is structure-based.

After correcting a log stream condition, consider using the MODIFY command
to update the 'TIME(mm/dd/ hh:mm:ss)' parameter to a time after this
condition occurred so it is no longer displayed as an exception.



Is it possible to dynamically modify the above recommendations ? Also, how
to check which Logger staging datasets have reached 100%.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Version Query for Installed Product

2011-12-04 Thread Jake anderson
Hi,

There are some Product in our system where the version Indication is not
visible via Datasets(SMPE datasets) or thru SMP/E panel. Our systems   MSU
capacity is too low due to which we are unable to make the installed
product to run which might cause the  products to consume more process or
CPU.  Are there any sample JCLs which will pull out the version of the
offline products. I was able to get the version of some product through
SMP/E panel(query facility). There are some products for which I am unable
to extract.

Any Hints or suggestion would really help me in extracting the details.

Clarification on IEHPROGM

I am just confused why IEHPROGM utility is throwing a different message

What Macro is invoked when we try to Rename using TSO command R beside a

Could anyone please enlighten me ?

 Is the disk
SMS managed?

Yes - So is is it possible to take the existing name for renaming Purpose
using IEHPROGM ? But when I try renaming with a non-existent name then I am
able to do it whereas existing name produces this error message Password

If I do a recatalog of existing name , then will it erase the Old content
of existing Dataset(NEWNAME as in JCL) ?

 The main difference between rename by TSO and by IEHPROGM is that TSO
 tries to recatalog the dataset (and discovers that the new name already
 exists), while IEHPROGM concentrates only on the VTOC of the disk. After
 renaming the dataset on disk, you will have to recatalog it yourself.
 While processing the dataset on disk, IEHPROGM sees that it is 'password
 protected' and you did not specify the 'correct password'. Is the disk
 SMS managed?

Was just curious to know why this password error Pops up for the SMS

 SMS managed datasets must be cataloged, so you cannot rename/recatalog

 IDCAMS can also rename non-VSAM datasets.
 I am quite sure that the 'password' error is caused by the fact that the

Re: Problem with add RACF certificate

I guess the certificate name,label name is conflicting with the one present

Note : Make sure the the existing certificate is not used by anyother

Re: Management Class - expiration of dataset

Hola Greg,

That's a bit confusing to me (and perhaps others, based on the lack of
response) - could you clarify a little what you are asking about?

Without the management class is it possible to specify expiration date for a
dataset ?, But What i understood from the IBM manual is that it needs
management class for setting expiration period for any dataset. In our shop
one of a user has specified expiration date for his dataset though we have
not set any management class. Could you please clarify

I think the problem may be your label is too long.  The max is 32 chars

Fair, but I too reduced the length but I get a different error as
certificate not added. Profile Name exist Verisign, But this is the first
time we are trying to add these

Situation is :

We have a CICS region where we it acts as requestor and has to send the
request via proxy server. Our Webservice provider has provided us three
certificates Root, Intermediate and Server Certificates.

My concern is that we are unable to find the right Label name for Root and
Server. Is it something LABEL name must be given by the webservice provider
or else we can choose the LABLE name of our own.

Or else do we need to raise a CSR for a particular Racf ID and send it to CA
for validation.

Please suggest

Jake

Auto Backup Issue

2011-10-05 Thread Jake anderson
Hello,
  On one of our z/OS system the daily SMFDUMP that starts to run at
2200 hrs. bets a message from RMM due to the daily backup running. The
response to the message fails saying that Reply xx was not requested from
this console. This process works on most other systems.

2200 is when the auto commands cause teh SMF to start offloading, and that
is when the auto commands also cause the RMM tape system to be backed up.
It's just that the system seems to think the wrong console is in effect.

We use a free scheduling procedure. The program is called AUTO and is tarted
from SYS2.PROCLIB(AUTO).

A proc, SYS2.PROCLIB(AUTOCMPS) starts every day. It has a series of timed
commands, one of which is REPLYTO.

Re: Suggestion for a Job running Under a Loop

2011-09-20 Thread Jake anderson
I am not doing a COMPILE,BIND,LINKLED. Its the application trainee users who
perform this task. Not the same user but different users performing same
task as part of training. Just curious to know if there are any limitation
on TGNUM or CPU time to know if a Job is taking more resources.

Suggestion for a Job running Under a Loop

2011-09-19 Thread Jake anderson
Hi All,

I have development system(LPAR) here wherein the jobs submitted by the
developers/trainees gets into loop very often. Usually i use to find this
through either the TGNUM value or through the EXCP Cnt. But today i found a
genuine job( not a system or admin job) running with high TGNUM EXCP and
also with considerable amount of CPU time . Are there any way to find a if a
Job is really consuming lot of CPU or Running Under Loop for a long time.

Any suggestion or an advise would be of a great help.

Jake

Hi,

Do you have any monitoring tools like STROBE or Omegamon (Tivoli)?

No, We have a very basic Shop.

What version of z/OS are you running?

V1.8
Are these cobol programs or something else?

Cobol Programs

Are these loops with vendor products or in-house written programs?

In House Written Programs.

Are the Cobol programs calling any assembler programs or any other language

Its a COBOL DB2 program which does a Link edit, Bind etc...

 The only way to know that a program is in a loop is to know what it does.

 Best approach is a default low TINE and OUTLIM, and those than know they
 need more will override.

Auto-purge of Jobs

2011-09-12 Thread Jake anderson
Hi,

We have a sandbox systems where some users are given a basic level of
mainframe training. Some times users jobs do run under loop or consume more
CPU, In this scenario are there any possibility of implementing auto-purge
of Jobs which runs under Loop or Consumes more CPU.

Wanted to know if someone has implemented a similar practise at anyone of
your shops. If so please share me your ideas or thoughts.

Jake

SMF - CPU and Memory Usage Calculations

2011-09-03 Thread Jake anderson
Hi All,

Here I wanted to know How all your shop does the CPU and Memory Calculations
using SMF records. We have an environment where we have not installed any
tools to do. Our systems are used by various department and we have assigned
seperate RACF default group. Based on RACF default group we calculate the
CPU and Memory by taking the help of COBOL source code(I am not that good in
COBOL). We do the CPU and Memory calculations based on the SMF Man dataset
dumped to a flat file(VBS) sys1.smfrec.

I wanted to know some of the best practises to do the CPU and Memory
Calculations based on a racf default groups.

Any advises would be much appreciated.

Jake,
