Re: Getting started with Policy Agent and AT-TLS

[Mike Hochee]

Hi Charles, 

Almost 10 years old now, but I've always thought this was an xlnt 
presentation... 
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/system/files/support/swg/swgdocs.nsf/0/2b7dd92c65e0defe85257a2b0057759b/$FILE/Leveraging_ATTLS.pdf
 

I posted the following about 6mos ago for a similar question. 

- Use z/OSMF for generation of your initial set of PA config files and inputs, 
then consider manually tailoring. I opted for this approach under z/OS 2.2, but 
z/OSMF has undoubtedly improved greatly since then, so maybe you can use z/OSMF 
exclusively now. 

- Configure the syslog daemon, and test it to ensure messages are being 
collected for whatever you're interested in (TCPIP is not a pre-req for 
syslogd) 

- Configure PROFILE.TCPIP, you will need to add a TTLS parm to the TCPCONFIG 
statement

- Create the resource profile used to block access to the TCPIP stack during 
initialization, the name of the resource will be 
EZB.INITSTACK.%sysname.%tcpprocname  (it may be differently named w/ACF2 or 
TSS) 

- Create a server keyring and x509 certificate, and then connect the cert to 
the keyring, and depending on what you're doing you may need to permit access 
so the keyring and cert can be listed (resources are IRR.DIGTCERT.LISTRING and 
IRR.DIGTCERT.LIST) 

- Once you have done the above and are ready to test: 
Ensure syslogd running
Stop the TCPIP AS (there are undoubtedly less invasive ways) Start the TCPIP AS 
and watch for msg EZZ4248E, after which you should start your PA daemon 
(eventually you'll want to automate this), the start will probably look 
something like... /usr/lpp/tcpip/sbin/pagent -l /tmp/pagent.log -c 
/etc/pagent.conf & 

- Once started, check out the following for messages... 
MVS system log
Pagent log file
Output from the pasearch -t command

HTH, 
Mike

How do I manage it?

 

I found the USS path to the directory

 

I have 3 mails in there that are huge. 

 

Can I use OMVS or ISPF 3.17 and just delete the entries?  Or is there

Do I need to run a SMNP or TCPIP function to clear these out (they are from

I don't know of the field's official status or suitability, but we've
been using it for close to 20 years in C code that eventually displays
it to an end user in the window title bar. No one has ever complained
that the value is wrong.

Re: Syncsort merge question - How to report exact keys out of sequence?

[Farley, Peter x23353]

Thanks Massimo, that was a helpful technique and it did help me discover that 
my input files are NOT in the key order I thought they were.

I've had to resort to an actual SORT rather than a MERGE to get the necessary 
order imposed.

Peter,

I don't know if you need a "general" solution or a way to diagnose the specific 
problem.

WER068A tells you that the out of sequence record is on SORTIN02 (first
tip) and specifically on block 56,917 (second tip).
Depending on the block size of your file you could "point to the block" and 
then on the group of records and have a closer look.
Given the SORTIN02 you could copy the dataset to a RECFM=F (or V) but not 
BLOCKED temporary dataset in order to have exactly the offending record 
(BLOCK#=REC#).
It's not so efficient, anyway we're talking about diagnosing a problem.

Hope this helps.
Best regards.
Max

Re: Wait Code on IPL

[Jim Mulder]

  As you can tell  by doing IPLDATA STATUS  under IPCS 
against any dump (or ACTIVE), IEAVNP26 is SMS initialization.
No one should be issuing an ABEND with a code of 000, so a 
standalone dump would be needed to see what is going on.

Uninitialized?  I am guessing you haven't been able to IPL since

Re: Low softcapping on high capacity CEC

[Gibney, Dave]

My LPAR group, with my 4 LPARs is set with a cap of 12 MSU for z/OS charging 
purposes. We pay for 12 MSU. ABSNSUCapping would, as I read it, make permanent 
the condition I am trying to avoid, that is always being capped at 12.
Even if I could reliably identify the jobs, and online activity that are my 
high CPU spikes, AFAIK, unless I am in a capped state, the CP resource, being 
available, will be used. WLM doesn't care about anything when utilization is 
less than capacity.

The problem I'm addressing is to avoid becoming capped due to short spikes up 
to the 151 capacity of the CPs. It doesn’t take very long for these spikes to 
bring my 4/hr over 12. But, if I could have an limit on the size of these 
spikes, say 24 MSU, I could still get the work done, and not spend long periods 
actually capped at 12.

What is the purpose of the HMC setting, Absolute Capping for CPs that first 
gave me the idea that this was possible? What is the meaning of a setting from 
0.01 to 255.00 here?

Re: Wait Code on IPL

[Lopez, Sharon]

We also just recently started getting a Wait state at IPL on one of test lpar 
sandboxes and nothing had changed on our system.  It wasn't consistently 
failing either.   I opened up a case with IBM and was told to put in ESQA in 
INITSQA.  Of course, that resolved our issue.   I just wanted it to 
consistently fail and I wasn't able too.

Thanks.

Subject: Wait Code on IPL

We are getting a wait code 040 with abend code  and Reason Code . 
We did see IEA303W message with Abend code  and Reason Code  but 
only with the first IPL attempt.  We have not seen it with subsequent IPLs.   
We as a group have spent a few days researching the wait, abend and reason 
codes and have found nothing that would indicate the

problem.  There has been no resent changes to parmlib, or i/o configurations.  
The module abending is IEAVNP26, it's located in SYS1.NUCLEUS.   The last 
message on the console is "GRS initialization completed successfully".   The 
last successful IPL was 12/13/2020.



We do have a question; would 2700 uninitialized volumes prevent an IPL and 
cause a hang/abend after GRS Activates?

Re: jes2 spool

[Jackson, Rob]

We do compress it actually.  7-Zip command-line from a "DOS" batch file, run by 
a Windoze scheduled task.  (Does anyone know of a better way?)  It would be 
pretty trivial to compress them on the mainframe, but I couldn't think of a way 
to do it without burning a bunch of CPU or not allowing them to be portable.  
It works fairly well though as-is.  We use it on two LPARs to FTP about 55 
thousand spool files with self-describing names per day.

Unsolicited plug:
JRB is a surprisingly robust, functional, and efficient product, and that's 
before you even consider the price.  This "bargain" software is astonishing, 
and their support is even more so.  When is the last time a product's lead 
developer called you up for a chat just for downloading the product?  And when 
is the last time one asked you if there's any way they could improve the 
product, accepted the ask, and delivered the code changes within a few days?  
Not a fix.  New functionality just because I asked for it.  You cannot go wrong 
with MacKinney for this need.

We use PSF and define Solimar printers, the I/P destination is a Solimar print

any compression, but the Solimar server has some great print services.

WAG. Do you have an INITSQA statement in the LOADxx member that was used for 
that system? If not, you just might be at the edge of needing more SQA during 
IPL processing that resulted in the initial IPL wait state.

Not sure what you want to do with the output once it gets to the server but if 
it is just for online viewing, at a previous job, we used something called 
report2web (I don't know who the vendor was) that spooled reports out and 
allowed browser viewing of them.  

Are you looking for strictly text type output or are you wanting to render AFP

Re: Low softcapping on high capacity CEC

[Steve Emge]

I agree with Scott regarding assigning a resource group to the service 
class(es) that need to be capped.  In reference to SU/s per second specified in 
MAX SUs in the resource group, the unweighted SUs/sec for IBM Z systems can be 
found here:

Looks like this is solved, but the first thing that occurred to me is a problem 
I have from time to time:  As an old fart, I still use  for copy and 
 for paste, without having to stop and think about it.  Mostly that 
still works, but whenever it doesn't (with some of the newer tools), I have to 
remember and then hunt down the  and  keystrokes.

I'll bet I'm not the only one.

We had some upgrade applied a year or so ago.
Afterwards I could not copy and paste.
I did the following:
Edit -> Preferences -> Keyboard
Browse
Choose 1.kemp
Open
Restart session

Your mileage may vary, but that did the trick for me.

Re: jes2 spool

[PINION, RICHARD W.]

Have a look at JRB from McKinney Systems.  We are using it to suck up reports 
from the spool,
FTP to a server (not sure about the compression part), and then it respools the 
report for
another application to process the report.

JRBE085 ** DELIVERY STARTED:#2 "A   " FTP for xxx yyy zzz-

I wasn't disputing that occasional access to such data might be needed
but it seems to me that the OP has been asking questions about ways
to process this data for /months/.

I would have expected him to finesse the algorithms, handling dataset
contention etc on test data, or possibly just a handful of examples of 
live data - and as you say, I'd have hoped that that would have been 
anonymised.

I would have hoped you could write some sort of generalised query 
framework, and submit that as a production job, though.

The thing is, verification IMO should amount to more than someone 
just signing-off Joe's access to the data.

Why is he inventing code as he goes along?

Re: Low softcapping on high capacity CEC

[Scott Chapman]

As was mentioned, ABSMSUCapping may be useful in that you can limit the entire 
group to a specific number of MSUs. I.E. if you defined the group of 4 LPARs in 
a capacity group at 24 MSUs (or whatever) and enabled ABSMSUCapping on all of 
them, all 4 LPARs would be capped (in total) at that 24 MSUs. 

The Absolute CP Capping can work too, but you can't set the limit across the 4 
LPARs, so they can't borrow capacity from each other. I.E. if you want the 
limit to be a combined 24 MSUs but you want each to be able to consume up to 24 
MSUs, then a group cap with Absolute MSU Capping is the way to go.

If you want to limit individual workloads within the LPARs, then WLM resource 
groups can do that for you. That's at a service class by service class basis 
and most often are specified by SU/s (not the same as MSUs). So assign the SAS 
work to a specific SC (BATHOGS?) and make sure that SC has a resource group 
that limits how much CPU the work can consume.
