Re: Predict WLC invoice amount ...
Timothy, That is not exactly true. Even with an ELA, you are required to still collect the SMF data and submit the SCRT reports as before. It is just that the monthly invoice should be substantially lower! When I had an ELA, I compared the monthly LCS invoice against the monthly ELA amount to demonstrate to executive management the exact value of the ELA on a monthly basis.

Re: Predict WLC invoice amount ...
EMEA pricing is generally higher than the US pricing. At least that was my experience when I was a S/390 Client Rep. in Saudi Arabia sixteen years ago. Price lifts occurred sometimes by EMEA and also sometimes by the IBM x company (substitute your favorite country for x). As to LCS, auditing the SCRT numbers was its original purpose. Also, it had the capability to exclude timeframes long before SCRT was enhanced to support it. In my years of using LCS, it has paid for itself every year in software savings. There is a column in the SCRT spreadsheets labeled Customer MSUs. I have used it on a monthly basis for COBOL charges for over a decade. As shipped, IBM's LPAR charges for COBOL are close to their z/OS peak consumption. LCS tracks actual usage using SMF 30 records and reports it real usage. There is much more to LCS than I have described, but I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader to pursue at www.sherkow.com. Suffice it to say that I know of no other product that pays for itself many times over, in REAL dollars/euros/your currency.

Re: Predict WLC invoice amount ...
In everything I've been lead to believe is true (in the US), an ELA doesn't relieve you from paying for the actual cost of MLC software capacity that you've consumed. You may have budgeted an amount of $x/month for MLC in the ELA and that's the amount of the check you send IBM every month. But they track the actual amount that you've used as reported via SCRT. At the end of each year, the total SCRT-reported charges are compared to the amount you paid IBM. If you paid IBM too much, good for them, too bad for you. If you paid them too little, you owe them the difference. Tails IBM wins, heads you lose. So if you're in an ELA, you should be tracking that difference so you know whether to be prepared for the bill, or possibly turn up your caps a little bit to get some more work done. Planning for an ELA is an interesting combination of capacity planning, timing of software and hardware upgrades and unannounced price change guessing. Predicting all those things more than 15 months out is mostly guesswork. If somebody knows of ELAs working differently, then I'd desperately like to hear about it.

Re: Destination z -- Back to the Future -- Don't Reinvent Mainframe Wheels
Earlier this week, on another list, I encountered someone who was proposing to use STCK TOD values in a new system. He should of course have chosen STCKE values instead. At 23:58:43 on 17 September 2042 the IBM mainframe TOD clock, 64-bit STCK value will overflow. STCKE values do not have this defect; the portions of them that are incremented are unsigned 14-byte, 8 x 14 = 112-bit values; and 2^112 - 1 is an adequately large number. The slogan Do not reinvent the wheel sounds virtuous, at worst innocuous. In fact its use is an all but infallible indicator of sanctimony mixed with sloth.

Re: HOST feature or understand a sentence
According to IBM, you cannot get a z/OS license for a Hercules based machine. It has been asked for by many, for a hobbyist environment. Another emulator is Boch. It is an x86 emulator. As I recall, one person used this to run Windows, slowly, on an old pre-z machine. It would be interesting, to me, to have somebody do this on a zEC12 running full speed. I don't know if Windows can be licensed on this configuration, or not.

Re: ICSF master keys at DR site
There is/was a way to set a CEX card to allow it to keep the MK loaded while being transferred between machines. Yes, but you also need a TKE to do this. You can enable or disable the crypto card. When the card is disabled, you cannot perform any application-oriented crypto functions with it - for example, encrypting data, managing keys, etc. The only things you can do are the functions related to re-enabling the card, which is done via TKE. While the card is in disabled state, you can remove it from your machine and it will not lose any of the stored data such as the master keys - but you also cannot USE those master keys for anything until the card is re-enabled, and that is not possible except through TKE by two authorized administrators. Here is part of the description that is in the TKE user's manual: -- A crypto module is either enabled or disabled. When a crypto module is enabled, it is available for processing. You can change the status of the module by pressing the Enable Crypto Module / Disable Crypto Module push button. Enable Crypto Module is a dual-signature command and another authority may need to co-sign. Disable Crypto Module is a single signature command. Disabling a crypto module disables all the cryptographic functions for a single crypto module, a group of crypto modules, or a domain group. This disables the crypto module for the entire system, not just the LPAR that issued the disable. -- Todd Arnold -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Looking for decision tree for hardware purchases
I am wandering into an area I rarely play in. I have been asked to provide a process to help determine what our next hardware purchases should be for tape and dasd I am looking for input on what I need to look for when making a decision between vendors for solutions in the area of tape and dasd for the mainframe. I understand capacity, current and growth, ease of migration from one to the other, speed, replication, de-dup, and compaction. But what other metrics should I look at or include in the analysis? Are there RMF reports I should be using or MXG? Any place with a decent checklist or metrics available? The mainframe is not as large as the open systems, so the desire is to look for a one size fits all solution. So for tape - what should I be looking at? For dasd what should I also be looking at? Between my data centers I need do to replication (they are about 1500 miles apart) and back each other up for DASD and hopefully tape as well Are there any other vendors other than Fujitsu CS Eternus, IBM TS7700/8700, Luminex, EMC VMAX So long as I have no need for tape to be shipped, I am thinking tapeless is an acceptable solution.

FW: Help with IBM Session Mgr Script
Group, Got no takers on this one. I asked IBM for help and they were very kind once again: *** Extract of IBM PMR *** The Waitappl for non-SNA sessions is looking for a 3270 WCC with the keyboard restore bit set from TSO. A non-SNA LU0 needs TSO to send the WCC to unlock the keyboard. With SNA LU2, the RU with EB (End-Bracket) or CD (Change Direction) will cause the keyboard to unlock and does not need the 3270 WCC keyboard restore flow. As for the reasons for WAITAPPL for both SNA and non-SNA, it is best to look at the actual 3270 flow for both types of sessions and then ensure the script handles the output flows. A simple method of doing this is to issue the ISM STARTSC OFF for your TSO session number to disable the startscript processing. Then issue the ISM command RECORD ON from the menu and then proceed to logon to TSO. When you get to where you no longer want ISM startscript to automate the logon, escape to the ISM menu and issue the RECORD OFF command. Now issue the ISM REPLAY command. In my example below, I logged on using a non-SNA LU. -- REPLAYX TN32 091C2F21 ID RECORD Title --- 001 S EWRT 002 O EWRT 'Session st' 003 O EWRT 'Session Es' 004 O EWRT 005 O EWRT 'WINMVS23' 006 I ENTER 'logon appl' 007 O EWRTA '*-' 008 O WRT 009 I ENTER 010 O EWRT '--' 011 I ENTER 'passwrd' 012 O EWRT 013 O EWRT 014 O WRT 'ICH70001I' 015 O WRT 'IKJEFLD3' 016 O WRT '***' 017 I ENTER 018 O EWRTA 'something else' 019 O WRT 'tsolib act' 020 O WRT 'READY ' 021 O WRT 022 I ENTER '@@' 023 O WRT 'COMMAND @@' 024 O WRT 'READY ' 025 O WRT 026 I ENTER 'pdf' 027 O WSF 028 O EWRTA '. Menu Uti' 029 E EWRTA '. Menu Uti' Use the PF11 key on the REPLY panel to view the details of the records. Those with an 'O' type are output records that the WAITAPPL would look for.

Currently there is an OPEN APAR PM86725 regarding using the wrong logmode for mod 5 terminals. The users are complaining it takes too long to logon so I have been looking at our TSO LOGON script and I have a few questions. I do not see anything in our scripts checking if t_model is set to 5. But I am seeing a difference between SNA and NON-SNA. Years ago there was real 3270 CUT, DFT etc. I guess I look at the session manager like my old NCR/COMTEN NCP. The remote network was SNA and the host was not. SRM resided in an NCR Comten Communications Processor (CP) where it performs switching functions that allow BSC and SNA 3270 devices to communicate selectively with any of up to 31 different host access methods. Currently terminals bind to the session manager from TN3270 which can be SNA or not. Once at the session manager main screen you can select your logmode to the application which can be SNA or not. I mainly use D4A32793 which is SNA. I can also use D4B32793 which is not SNA. The application works fine with the terminal and I don't see a difference between the logmodes when binding to the application. Here is what we have in our TSO LOGON script: First part of current script - Enter our userid: Domax 10 appltime 10 Do until found Waitappl If noresp Let t_message = 'Timed out - User prompt' Endsess Return End Outscan 'ENTER' End The next section is supposedly required for NON-SNA for a write to restore the keyboard: If s_sna = 'N' Waitappl End Input sba 2 1 text t_user Key enter I don't see any examples in the book regarding S for ACTIVE SNA sessions or N for ACTIVE NON-SNA sessions. A WAITAPPL is getting output from the APPL. Q). Do I need this Waitappl for NON-SNA sessions? The First part (above) entered the TSO userid. The second part (not shown) is just like the First part except it enters the password and does an outscan for 'TSO/E LOGON'. The next section has code for both SNA and NON-SNA.

Re: HOST feature or understand a sentence
Ah, yes. Mantissa. That's been in the works for quite a while now. Hope it lives up to expectations. I wonder if it implements a just in time compiler simiilar to IBM's JAVA implementation. What might be even better would be something like how the i (AS/400 offspring) does it. Compiling Java to byte code ends up with a byte code file with an associated shadow file which is actually native Power code. A bytecode compile-to-native would be an interesting piece of software. As would something which could compile x86 instructions into z/Arch instructions. And I am aware of the problem of is this code or data? .So something like the just in time compiler, but which could save the compiled object across runs would be _very_ interesting, but likely not really very useful, due to recompilation and so on.

Re: Destination z -- Back to the Future -- Don't Reinvent Mainframe Wheels
TOD values are, conceptually, most like IAT ones. Specialization/adulteration is DIY. TOD clocks, incremented counters in general, are by definition unsigned. Moreover, with the exception of some few astronomical ones, we do not know the times of past events, even quite recent ones with precision. Krakatoa, for example, 'began to erupt' on 1883 May 20th, but more precision turns out to be elusive. We are told that Anne Boleyn was executed at 0800 on the morning of 1536 May 19 (O.S.), but I have no confidence in this round exactitude. For past events [often negative] proleptic dates usually suffice and must usually suffice. It is, for example, enough to know that the epoch origin of the Kali Yuga calendar has the GD, Gregorian Day [number], -1,132,958. Signed fullword GDs can represent dates ±5.8 million years about the Gregorian calendar's epoch origin. That is usually enough; and if, exceptionally it is not, there are signed doublewords available.

And have the MK parts stored at the DR site and do a MK ceremony there not near as slick as having a TKE. Of course if you have a TKE at the primary site and store the MK on smart cards .. you'll have to be a bit more creative.

If you do have a TKE, there is a very nice and very secure method of completely cloning everything from one crypto card to another one. This was added a couple of releases ago. Here is the beginning of the description from the current TKE user's guide (which I just retrieved from Resource Link): --- Configuration migration The TKE workstation provides tools to securely capture host crypto module configuration data to a file, and then reapply this data to another host crypto module or crypto module group. The data that can be securely captured includes roles, authorities, domain control settings, and master keys. These tools simplify the task of installing new or replacement host crypto modules, and can be used for backup and disaster recovery as well. Two tools are provided: one that migrates only public configuration data (roles, authorities, domain control settings) and one that migrates all configuration data, including secret data, such as master key values. The protocol for migrating secret data is more complex than the protocol for migrating only public data, and requires the participation of several smart card holders. --- Todd Arnold -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: Destination z -- Back to the Future -- Don't Reinvent Mainframe Wheels
Rather than being signed, IBM _could_ move the epoch back. I don't see any need. In fact, personally, I would not use STCKE values. I'd use something like true Julian dates/times (like the astronomers use), or perhaps Lilian dates (date only, no time) since there some nice LE subroutines to format them for display. CEEGMT will get the TOD clock value, returning it in Lilian format date integer a 64-bit double floating point number of second from 00:00:00 14 October 1582 (not counting any leap seconds). CEEGMTO gets the __current__ offset from GMT to local. Which means it is not useful for historical dates, in general. CEEDATM will convert the 2nd output (64 bit float number) from CEEGMT to a printable format (user defined). CEEDATE will convert the Lilian date seconds (1st output) to a display value. So CEEGMT seems, to me, to be a viable way to go. And I am aware that many view LE as devil's brew. But I, personally, have at least gotten used to it. If somebody wanted to convert an STCKE saved value to printable, I would guess a reasonable way would be to use the CONVTOD macro to convert to printable. I might even then go to CEEGMT format via CEESECS to convert this to Lilian seconds (64 bit float) and store that. Or pop it into a DB2 date/time field. If I had DB2, that is grin/. On Wed, May 15, 2013 at 10:06 AM, John Gilmore jwgli...@gmail.com wrote: TOD values are, conceptually, most like IAT ones. Specialization/adulteration is DIY. TOD clocks, incremented counters in general, are by definition unsigned. Moreover, with the exception of some few astronomical ones, we do not know the times of past events, even quite recent ones with precision. Krakatoa, for example, 'began to erupt' on 1883 May 20th, but more precision turns out to be elusive. We are told that Anne Boleyn was executed at 0800 on the morning of 1536 May 19 (O.S.), but I have no confidence in this round exactitude. For past events [often negative] proleptic dates usually suffice and must usually suffice. It is, for example, enough to know that the epoch origin of the Kali Yuga calendar has the GD, Gregorian Day [number], -1,132,958. Signed fullword GDs can represent dates ±5.8 million years about the Gregorian calendar's epoch origin. That is usually enough; and if, exceptionally it is not, there are signed doublewords available.

Dear Group, I have been looking at ways to FTP VSAM files between two z/OS systems. I learned that VSE totally supports FTPing of VSAM files, even when VSE is the server. But I don't have a VSE system to bounce my z/OS VSAM files off of.

It interoperates with a specific target DDM server implementation called IBM Distributed FileManager. The DDM server is available as a component of the IBM Data Facility Storage Management Subsystem (DFSMS). Does other software work with IBM's Distributed FileManager? I think I figured out VSAM is not supported under z/OS FTPD. To move a VSAM file it looks like I need to convert it to a flat file. Once you move the flat file you have all the VSAM work to get it back into a cluster. Q). Are there any other options (or software) I may be missing to move VSAM clusters between data centers?
