Re: PGSER R,FIX question

The documentation for PGSER says: ,ASCB=ascb addr Specifies the address of the ASCB for the currently addressable address space. You are probably specifying an ASCB which is not the currently addressable address space. In that case, PGSER

I agree, that I can recover JES2 to use new checkpoints if the originals are definitely gone, but that was not the case here. What can I recover, when both checkpoints have been emptied by the POR? Kees. > -Original Message- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List

Using B2H to convert HCD Graphic Reports to HTML

HCD requires either GDDM or DCF to generate a graphical report - if you don't have GDDM then the report will be in DCF format which requires that you process the report file using DCF to get a usable chart. That is unless you download, install, and then tailor the b2h utility from

That what I was thinking, according to the doc, and its not 100% clear I can recover from a lost CKPT, so does that assume just one lost CKPT while JES2 is up, or during a shutdown, there are so many different recovery scenarios' but none that fit my situation. It was my bad planning, putting

Re: JES2 Checkpoint question

I think I remember from the past, when we had CKPT in the CF, that only 1 of every 10 writes to the primary ckpt is done to the secondary. So having the secondary on dasd will cause minimal performance degradation, if that were a concern. Kees. > -Original Message- > From: IBM

Re: JES2 Checkpoint question

The JES2 checkpoint is the only mechanism that maps spool data. Assuming two outboard copies of the checkpoint--wherever located--either one can be reconstructed dynamically from the other even at IPL time. If both are lost or destroyed--wherever located--you are SOL at IPL time. In particular,

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Using B2H to convert HCD Graphic Reports to HTML

I tried using GDDM and got it working but the display wasn't as easy to use as the HTML charts. Especially since it limited me to a 80 column display (mod 2/3/4) and wouldn't work on a mod 5 or custom (larger) display. The HTML reports from B2H look very adequate and are more usable (imho).

LSQA storage is internally represented by data structures that are very different from the non-LSQA private area data structures. The LSQA data structures are not task related. For example, subpools 253, 254, and 255 are internally the same subpool, and a single 4K page (and thus a single
