Be very careful running DFDSS to delete uncataloged datasets. Make certain you
understand the complete catalog structure. I would not be surprised to see
that "uncataloged" SYS1.* datasets are actually active and in use on other
running systems.

Tony,
Please consider that SYS?.** datasets might be on volumes that represent
the previous running system volumes.
Do the volumes look like previous 'sysres' volumes?
My 2 cents, take some time to investigate the date and contents, might
be you don't want to trash them yet.
On the other
ADRDSSU if you have it.
Dump and delete the uncataloged datasets.
Later you can RESTORE with a new HLQ if desired.
//STEP1EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU
//SYSPRINT DDSYSOUT=A
//DASD1DDVOL=SER=MYVOL1,UNIT=SYSDA,DISP=OLD
//DASD2DDVOL=SER=MYVOL2,UNIT=SYSDA,DISP=OLD
//TAPE DD
We do something similar except because our locations are only 80km apart we
can run Metro Mirror.
To do DR we flash to tertiary volumes using a small Z LPAR but looking at
changing that to using CSM with practice volumes as per this video from the
Washington Systems Center.
Tony,
If the timestamp starts on the first record, then it is quite easy to
propagate that on to the following records. You can choose as to how many
records you want to propagate the values using RECORDS=n keyword.
Here is a link to earlier topic on how to PUSH the contents using
WHEN=GROUP
I have inherited a system where nobody bothered to clean-up after
themselves. If I do a DITTO VTOC of all the volumes, I can sometimes
find 5 or 6 copies of the same dataset, some of which are SYSx.*.
I would like to first rename all the uncataloged versions so I can
eventually delete them.
Replying to the original question. There may well be a better way to manage DR
than what we do, but we have not been pitched one in 20+ years. We own both
PROD and DR data centers and all contents. The DR site runs XRC ('Global
Mirroring for Z', a truly execrable name). Its only job in life is
All Z systems have a certain amount of minimum memory for customer use in the
base system configuration. In addition to this 'customer' memory there is
memory for the HSA - again included in the base configuration. If required,
customers can purchase extra memory up to the maximum limit for the
Not quite. The minimum amount of memory on a z14 ZR1 is 64GB (256GB on the
larger z14).
At first, 64GB sounds like "plenty." But if you are supporting a number of
LPARs with small memory allocations, you can use of the 64GB pretty quickly.

I'm sure this is the kind of thing Sort should be able to do easily, but I
really don't know where to start.
I have System Trace data as formatted by IPCS with the GMT timestamp
option. Trace lines are well documented, but have a few quirks. These are
132 byte records, with a timestamp toward the

We ordered our ZR1 with 96G of memory since that was recommended based on
our planned usage and growth.
Not sure how much was the memory component but small in terms of the other
components.

When we ordered our ZR1 we still had to specify the amount of memory we
wanted. We did order substantially more central storage. I don’t know
the costs involved so can’t directly answer your question.

Maybe I am incorrect, but I thought when you ordered a z14 it could come with
triple the amount of memory for the same cost of memory you were currently
paying.
For example, if you were using on a NON z14 8G, then when you order a z14 it
could done with 24G but at the same price as the 8G

Yes, the system itselft can work with less than 8GB (see z/VM or z/PDT),
but the system with subsystems started may not perform well.
In my shop 16GB is minimal amount of memory assigned to LPAR. It can be
doubled, tripled, etc.

Lodz,
Can anyone share their experiences running z/OS 2.3 on a z14 or z14 ZR1 in an
LPAR with less than the required 8GB of memory? Other than having to respond
to the warning message during IPL, have any negative effects been experienced?

Thanks to everyone for the input. As Chuck said this is a program that you can
use to copy one file to another. During the copy process you can do some
filtering to determine which records get copied. Sounds like we will have to
live with the fact we don't have source code.
Thanks..

Assuming you have all maintenance applied to ENT COB 4.2, there should be no
problem doing a BUILDMCS and receiving/applying into your z/os V2.3

exactly that, but put it into its own target/dlib zones and target/dist

I recently ran into an issue where LE and COBOL needed to be updated
concurrently.
Due to a timing problem in rollout, this caused a major kerfluffle.
I would be very careful mixing and matching between LE and Cobol.
Otherwise, the buildmcs route should work.

Hi List,
Can anyone please point me to documentation on how to use the USAGE= parameter

I couldn't find anything, and want to know how to be inclusive of a statement
