Announcement: CICS Auxiliary Trace Visualizer (new version 2.0)
Hi all, I've recently modernised the aux2svg rexx procedure - which, until now, was packaged as an example in the RexxXMLParser github repository and CBT FILE647 - and moved it to a separate github respository at: https://github.com/abend0c1/aux2svg The new version (which I last updated in 2005!) now supports CICS TS 5 auxiliary traces. Not a lot has changed since CICS TS 3, except for a few new trace domains, but quite a lot has improved in the SVG area since then so I thought it was time for an update. In summary, aux2svg creates a graphical representation of a CICS auxiliary trace printout by using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). The SVG markup represents the trace data in the form of a Unified Modelling Language (UML) Sequence Diagram (or at least something quite like it). You can view the resulting HTML file using any modern web browser. The aim is to help you resolve CICS problems more easily. The aux2svg example in https://github.com/abend0c1/rexxxmlparser has been replaced with a comment redirecting you to the new repository. Enjoy!

Interesting IBM chip collection
Have a look at: https://youtu.be/C0upso-RGF8 ...I didn't realise (had no way of knowing really) that the IBM multi chip modules were so colorful. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Announcement: Disassembler written in Rexx
Hi all, I've just published my latest endeavour on github: a free open source disassembler in Rexx. https://github.com/abend0c1/da ...it supports all instructions in the POPs including the latest z15 ones. Could be handy if you have lost some source code over the years. I'm pretty happy with it but as with any software there will be bugs. Please raise a github issue if you find any. Enjoy! Cheers, Andrew. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: AT-TLS config help
If Pioneer is the server then I think you should code HandShakeRole Server. As for tracing, how have you configured your syslogd? -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
3390 mod 2 teardown
This might be of interest to oldtimers (i.e. most of us). It shows what was inside of a 3390 mod 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBjoWMA5d84 ...and before anyone comments on the guy's accent and presentation style, you should know that he is a highly competent electronic engineer. Just thought I'd say that because that seems to be a recurring theme with Dave Jones's video blogs, so don't bother. He should be lauded for still having an interest in the way things were done in the old days. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: FTP slow after z/OS 1.13 upgrade
Even 700 KBps seems very low - unless it's only a 10 Mbps ethernet link. What is the topology? Any routers etc in the path? What I'd do is get a packet trace (use Wireshark on the Linux box, or a SYSTCPDA CTRACE on z/OS) and check for packet retransmissions or other anomalies. Wireshark is very good at pointing out anomalies, so it's not hard. For example, if you have a full/half duplex mismatch somewhere along the path it'll slow FTP transfers down a lot (usually in one direction more than the other). Does z/OS FTP to/from other servers at a decent rate? If so, it's probably not a z/OS problem. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
