The console handling In CICS is behaving as previously explained. 
See the QEDIT Macro.
For CICS,  Console Commands are handled by a component called Terminal 
Control  under the CSTP System Servives Task. 
CSTP handles All Terminal driven activity from VTAM and Non Vtam.
I believe CSTP is invoked under the CICS QR  TCB (Quasi-ReEntrant  TCB).
As far as I remember You Cannot Modify the Number of Queued Requests for 
CICS.

IEE342I MODIFY   REJECTED-TASK BUSY






Hi, All,

An application group is doing a stress test against a CICS region,
using batched instream commands via an IEFBR14 job to invoke a user
transaction.  Some of the MODIFY commands are being rejected with
message IEE342I MODIFY   REJECTED-TASK BUSY.  The part of the
explanation in MC that appears applicable is:

The task associated with the command had not finished processing a
previous command.

Question:  Which is the task associated with the command in this
context:  The user transaction invoked via the command?  The CICS
command processor?  Some other (MVS) task?

TIA,

-jc-

I believe The CIB COUNTER (CIBCTR)  is architecturally set by the 
developers Of CICS.
But I would have some concerns if application programmerrs are able to

My empirical evidence suggests that CICS sets QEDIT CIBCTR to the
maximum of 255, and I don't see a way to change it (we wouldn't want to
reduce it, anyway).  I've suggested to the application group that if
their testing is anywhere near indicative of the expected transaction
arrival rate, that they use a more reliable means of delivering them
(Websphere MQ, for example).

If you are running the CICS Itegrated translator You should be fine. I ran 
it in a
previous installation and had no problems.
Your Application developers may not like it since it generates different 
source code 
that a CICS program compiled with the Translator.
It was my application staff that couldnt adjust to the Intergrated

Fw: COBOL Compiler options






Using the coprocessor is NOT exactly the same as running the preprocessor
and then the compiler.  As far as I know, there have been NO reports of
different run-time results from the two, but there are things that using
the coprocessor can do that the preprocessor can't (see the Programming
Guide for details) e.g. 
  http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/IGY3PG40/3.1.2.2 

I would, however, check you LISTINGS to make certain that all the Options
in Effect are the same with the two methods.  It is possible that one of
your compiler procs has different settings and this COULD impact run-time
results.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
 In our shop, for CICS COBOL programs, we run the preprocessor
 DFHECP1$, then
 the compile step IGYCRCTL.
 I thought of bypassing the DFHECP1$ step by running the IGYCRCTL with
 'CICS' in
 the parm.
 
 That was fine.
 
 Except, a co-worker pointed out to me that the generated object code
 differs,
 and, as such, is apprehensive.
 
 Does anyone know why that is?

SSRANGE  would be a good place to start also get an Assembler Listing of

so you can  pinpoint the instruction and registers for the offending 
transaction.

If this is a CICS transaction also take a look at CEEMSGS and  CEEOUT

I know this is likely an application problem. But the programmers are
likely going to request help in debugging this error. The manual states
that it is most likely a memory overlay problem. But I have no idea how
I, with no application knowledge, can determine which COBOL statement in
their program is causing the overlay. Is there anything that I can
suggest other than using SSRANGE?

Dumb idea - pandering to the other systems people?






This has not come up yet. But I've been working with an IT person who
is, well, not very knowledgable. Especially about z/OS. So, what has
occurred to me is to try to talk to them more in their native tongue.
They are used to talking about services. In Linux (at least Fedora),
there is a service command which basically looks like service ...
start and service ... stop as well as other. In addition, our NOC
personnel are not very z/OS literate either (in general - some are
pretty good, others absymal). So, should I use CA-OPS/MVS to create a
service command which will start or stop selected services?
Basically change a service srv start to a S SRV and a service srv
stop to a P SRV (or whatever the appropriate method is to stop the
service)? This might end up just plain easier than trying to teach
them the right way. Is this wise or foolish? I'm so tired at times.

LOCATING THE JOB STEP PROGRAM OF ANOTHER ADDRESS SPACE

2007-07-30 Thread Paul D'Angelo
Hi,

Is there a proper method for locating the Program specified on the EXEC 
JCL card from another Address Space ?
I can locate the ASVT via the CVT.
I can  scan through the ASCBs and Command Scheduling Chain looking for a 
specifc job/procedure name.
But what I would really like to locate is the Program Specified on the 
EXEC=pgm card from  the JCL.

I know  I can always find  the Programs  in a  DUMP  via  the Contents 
Directory.
However I have not been able to trace that  back to the ASCB or TCB or 
JSCB.
I suspect this information is located in the JSCB  but  Where ?

Does any one Now of a callable service or maco that will locate the Job 
Step Program for
another address space ?

What Control Blocks must I naviagate to locate the Job Step Program for 
another Address Space ?

were doing me a favor by offering me the whopping salary of 65-69 a year!
They wanted z/OS (ALL flavors), CICS, IMS, DB2, the usual SMP/E, 
Assembler,
Cobol, CA, ISV products, 24x7 coverage, yada, yada, yada...


Well  You Forgot Unix System Services, Sysplex, MQSeries.TCP/IP, SNA and

Re: DSPSERV

Gabor

Wouldnt  this design be much cleaner  by starting  a second address space 
whose
sole purpose is to own the dataspace ?
Basically it would contain all the Data Space Code to initialize/create 
and destroy the dataspace and a Console Routine to stop this Address 
space.

Granted not as elagant as an SRB scheduled to run in the MASTER Address 
Space but alot cleaner.
