Do or Don't: Define generic profiles in RACF class STARTED?
First posted on RACF-L under topic How to define STARTED class profiles for DFHSM (are generic profiles ok)?, but not much response. Reposting here under new topic. Need to define STARTED clas profiles for DFHSM and its helper STCs. The helper STCs have names starting with ARC and DSS, and some numeric part that depends on the number of HSMs in the sysplex and the number of parallel task they start. The easiest way would be to define profiles ARC*.* and DSS*.*, the more cumbersome way to define one profile for each possible STC. Someone here claims that it is an absolute no-go to define generic profiles (for the part before the dot) in class STARTED. Especially if the task need to run TRUSTED. I think there is no danger in doing so, because it cannot be misused, *if* the PROCLIBs and the MVS START commands are properly protected. Anyone with update access to PROCLIBs can misused any of the trusted STCs, can't they? Any thoughts or recommendations? -- Peter Hunkeler -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: I SMF Processing
No problem to correct, just an better understanding of how SMF uses than MANx datasets. I missed the page in the manual, that explains it. What I did find interesting is that it won't use MAN1 if available with space but not empty and will buffer the data not move on to another MANx dataset.

Re: Beginners question about SHARE
zMan is correct about what I am trying to say. Perhaps I was not clear on my perception of the relationship between the OP's problem and company-oriented membership. I think the emphasis on company membership makes first time, non-(so far)-member attendance more of a leap. I have about zero big company experience, but from what I know of how large organizations work, I would darn sure rather try to convince my boss that I should go to an educational conference rather than that the corporation should join some organization. Yes, I guess there is a non-member attendance option, but there is a financial penalty is there not? Not very user-friendly.

Let me be clear: I said aren't seeing. That doesn't mean things aren't being considered and even tried, but they clearly aren't working (yet) if so. So Charles' main points (from my perspective--far be it from me to claim to speak for him!) were that: 1) the OP's difficulty with the website is Bad and could be fixed relatively easily 2) the company-membership thing, whether required or not, *feels* required, and might should be reevaluated Seems difficult (to me) to argue with either of those, yet the reaction has been defensiveness and attacks on Charles.

For RACF questions the RACF List is the better place to be. That's what I initially thought, too, and as mentioned, I posted there first. But in fact, it is more of a z/OS integrity or protection question, than a mere RACF how to do question. That is part of the decision to re-raise the question here. And remember everyone has real jobs, they respond when they can or when the question is specific. I've been an active member on a couple of forums for long enough to know and respect that. The intention on my first paragraph was not to blame anybody for not answering but to inform people here that this topic was initially placed on another forum. I do not like cross poststing; I'd rather discuss on one forum, and move the discussion to another one if appropriate later on. A question that might not get response might be: ...

Re: Beginners question about SHARE
SHARE is all about networking, which is what old boys' clubs do. I went to my first SHARE in 1967 and was welcomed as a newbie. That was how I became a brand new member of the old boys' club. I don't ever remember any older attendees' having an exclusivist attitude towards new attendees. I have been to beaucoup major SHAREs and three mini-SHAREs. There is great camaraderie in SHARE, much to learn, and much to be shared. Go to your first one and keep on going. When I am at a SHARE, I always see other old-timers whom I recognize. I start talking with them. I don't know how to recognize new attendees easily, but I would assume they have a ribbon of a particular color. If so, I don't know what the color is, so I apologize for not initiating conversations with any new attendees for my last several SHAREs. It's normal human behavior to seek out people you already know and converse with them rather than start talking with a total stranger. If you are a new attendee and no old boy has initiated a conversation with you, find someone in the crowd whose name badge has lots of ribbons on it and start talking to him. And go to the sessions designed specifically for new attendees. Find a group of people standing around talking about anything and stand in the group. Listen for a while. If you don't hear some familiar buzzwords, go look for another group discussing different buzzwords. Pretty soon you will be one of the experts giving presentations or volunteer workers doing project work. I started attending regularly in 1981 and also volunteering to do presentations and being involved in project work, and within 5 years discovered that I knew almost everyone of the elected officers (even the President), because they had been doing project work in many of the same projects I had been involved with.

Should be able to ICKDSF the new volume then Backup the old volume and restore to the new volume, or use a move command. While that would be nice, if true, it's wrong. In many cases the z/VM data has a different organization when on FBA. Some of the data must be logically copied at a filesystem level (e.g. CMS files), others must be re-created (CP-owned volumes). In fact, z/VM itself has to be reinstalled so that you get the FBA minidisk layouts. The RACF database requires special care, too. And the non-CMS guests themselves have to copy their data, too. Converting storage architectures is a non-trivial exercise. It can be done, but not by brute force. We continue to recommend that z/VM and guest data that is classified as slow growth continue to reside on ECKD. Fast-growth data such as databases should be on native SCSI, not FBA simulation on SCSI.

Re: Tape Initialization Issue
I do not believe the tape was degaussed, since then the cartridge would never have been successfully re-initialized. The fact that tape initialization finally took place seems to imply that maybe there are different models of the TS1120/3592 drives inside the TS3400 library. For example, there is a requirement to have micro-code upgrade to a 3592 Model E05 or E06 to support media re-use of MEDIA9/MEDIA10 type cartridges. So the question is what type of physical media was being re-initialized and do you have a mixture of TS1120 models inside your robot. Also, as others have asked, which UCB addresses failed and which UCB address was successful? If it was the same device all 4 times and 3 out of 4 times it failed; then I would be leaning more to a hardware problem with that specific device.
