Re: Iebcopy rename hlq??

[David Spiegel]

Hi James,
You can use DFSMSdss to COPY with RENAME.
Here is an example:
//STEP001 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU ,PARM='TYPRUN=NORUN'
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD  *
  COPY DS(    -
INCL(   -
HLQ.X  -
)   -
)    -
RENUNC(    -
(HLQ.X  -
NEWHLQ.HLQ.X)  -
)    -
CAT -
STORCLAS(STANDARD) -
OPT(4) -
SHR -
SPHERE -
  TOL(ENQF)

- You can only COPY 255 Datasets in one step.
I have a series of ISPF Edit tricks to generate the commands and 
interleave them.

If you're interested, please PM me at dspiegel...@hotmail.com

Regards,
Davis

Re: Iebcopy rename hlq??

[Bob Bridges]

Not sure whether this fits your situation, but a few years ago I identified a 
number of DSs with HLQs pertaining to IDs that no longer existed.  (Really, 
when admins are cleaning up unused IDs, they need to look for the DSs too.)  I 
don't remember exactly, but probably more than 400 and fewer than a thousand.  
I worked out with the sysprog that I would work on them one 1st-char at time 
and send her a list.  She'd look at the list and tell me which ones to keep in 
place.  My next REXX deleted some of them (ISPF libraries for example) and 
rename the rest by adding a HLQ that would let her examine and delete them at 
leisure.  Sure, we know perfectly well that a lot of them will sit out there 
for the next 20 years, but at least they'll all be under her ID.

Searching for these DSs and adding the HLQ isn't a speedy process, but it 
worked.  You shouldn't have any trouble writing such a routine.  But maybe you 
meant you were looking for something prewritten?  I'd have my doubts about 
that; seems to me there'd be too many special requirements at different 
installations.

Oh, and one of the things the REXX had to do during the rename was give my ID 
temporary authority over datasets named A*.**, B*.**, C*.** and so on, one 
letter at a time.  I could do that because I'm a security admin; if you're not, 
you probably need someone else to do that part for you.

The big problem with mainframe reporting is the finances compare one
year apart while models come out 2 years apart.  Useful reporting
would be by months since model release.

Re: FYI: IBM sales jump shows the mainframe is not dead, with hybrid cloud alive and well | Network World

I worked on the mainframe “cloud” in the 1980’s. GM consolidated data centers 
in Charlotte. (EDS) Most of the manufacturing facilities were in the Midwest. 
1983. I was part of the first successful migration. Still have the little 
congratulatory marble square with the gold emblem. I don’t cringe about the 
“cloud” now just as I didn’t then. Although, I didn’t think in 1983 they could 
pull it off. Certainly there are differences now, but the basic point was to 
allow processing at a central location from anywhere in the world.

That’s not going to sit well with the “mainframe is dying” crowd. It will still 
be the best platform in the world long after most of us have retired.

Re: WTO and IEF170I message

[Peter Relson]

Scott Ballentine corrected my "expectation".

The default default, in the absence of any routcode, desccode, mcsflag and 
CONSOLxx definition is routcodes 1-16.

Many exits do not run in environments where WTP (routcode 11) would work. Some 
SMF exits, I believe, describe how to issue messages from "within".

It is, simply put, important that you identify where you want your messages to 
go.

Re: Has anybody tried downloading a new version of tapetools recently using FTPTOOLS or FTPTOOLX job.

If anybody has other ideas I would appreciate hearing about them, but I believe 
we are at a point now that we can only download tape tools one way through 
https.

Thanks all it appears our firewall is preventing us from using the FTP process 
as we get redirected as mentioned below

Port 20 and 21 are generally considered unsecure so even ftp.software.ibm.com 
gets redirected.  

So it seems the only way to download Tapetools for us from now on is 
https://public.dhe.ibm.com/storage/tapetool.

zOS Client Web Enablement Toolkit, but you'll need to do HTTP requests in PL/1 
or ASM or REXX or COB.

I'd prefer if there was no auto-redirect.
With the amount of love that useful IBM sub-sites get, you can be sure that 
auto-redirect will inevitably lead you to www.ibm.com sometime in the future.
