Migration to RMM from Zara
Hi, I am in the process of migrating a system from Zara to DFSMSrmm on a zOS 1.4 system. I have a question re HSM and ARCTVEXT. We are currently running the Zara version of ARCTVEXT and understand that when we go to RMM in Production I will no longer need the exit as the interface is now handled by the EDGTVEXT interface. What I need to understand is what do I do whilst I am running Zara RMM in parallel? Do I need a: * ARCTVEXT router exit to call the Zara ARCTVEXT and then RMM ARCTEVEXT; if required I would only need the RMM version whilst in parallel? * Just the Zara ARCTVEXT and RMM will be updated via the EDGTVEXT interface? * Or something completely different? Any help gratefully received. Kind Regards Mark Wilson Mobile: +44 (0) 7768 617006 This year's annual GSE conference will take place on Tuesday 4th Wednesday 5th October 2005.

Re: Need RACF help defining lowercase ID
In a recent note R.S. said: Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2005 21:52:00 +0200 ... Remember: the goal is to install ControlM, not to create lowercase userid. However thread author asked about lowercase useid, but he really needed help to install ControlM. He didn't express it, maybe even didn't realised it, nevermind. Remember supervisor state and CICS application program thread ? It was very similar situation. Supervisor state was not needed and didn't solved the real problem. IMHO we should pay attention to the real nature of the problem, not literally the question asked. And z/OS itself frequently loses sight of the real problem. An example: Background: Our test systems share some DASD with our production system. However, not all migration tape drives are connected to all test systems. Therefore we run HSM only on the production system. The problem: I submit a batch job to one test system. Shortly, I notice that one step is stalled: B00474 *0041 ARC0055A REPLY 'GO' OR 'CANCEL' This oughtn't be a problem. I log on to the production system and do DSLIST Info on the data set. It swiftly recalls, and I return to the test system: /0041,GO Alas, Conway's Law asserts its pernicious influence: IEE600I REPLY TO 0041 IS;GO ARC0050A DFSMSHSM IS NOT ACTIVE - START DFSMSHSM *0042 ARC0055A REPLY 'GO' OR 'CANCEL' To what purpose?! The real problem is to allocate the data set; starting HSM is a subordinate task; irrelevant once the data set has been otherwise recalled. As I envision the current logic: if migrated then Retry: if HSM inactive then WTOR ARC0050A if reply=='GO' then goto Retry else fail endif endif endif ... continue with allocation ... The logic could be made right simply by moving the Retry: label from if HSM inactive to if migrated, allowing detecting that the data set is no longer migrated. But z/OS has focused too literally on the question of activating HSM, and forgotten the goal of allocating the data set. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: DFHSTUP abend
Hi, Just a couple of thoughts. This is a user abend, so you probably need to look at the source for DFHSTUP to see what will generate this failure. My initial guess would be a field it cannot handle. If that were the case, then you could remove the offending record. Second, you are running DFHSTUP against a set of SMF data. For details on DFHSTUP and its control parameters see the CICS Operations and Utilities Guide (SC34-5991 for CICS TS V2.2, SC33-1685 for CICS TS V1.3). If you cannot find the source for DFHSTUP, you may need to go to the IBM support center for CICS and ask them what a U0001 indicates. Or go to the CICS list server and check with them or scan their archives.

Re: Dead Beef
It has been a while but I seem to remember that if you use the DSN of FORMAT4.DSCB as your target it will ask permission of the operator and if granted, you will have access to the full volume (at which point you can use TTR control cards to get at the needed record to zap). I am pretty sure that FORMAT4.DSCB only allows AMASPZAP to zap the VTOC. Likewise pointing SYSLIB to a dataset allows you to zap that dataset.

Questions on ECB status when task abends
Hi, I have a main task and subtask running. The main task has an ESTAE established and the subtask has an ESTAI established. The subtask runs asynchronously with the main task. The main task is waiting on an ECB to be posted by an external event. During this wait the subtask abends, the abend is trapped by the ESTAI exit which then cleans up and percolates. 1) Will the main task's ESTAE exit now receives control even if it's still waiting on the ECB? 2) If so, what is the status of the ECB that was being waited upon? 3) Can the main task's ESTAE exit retry and then re-issue the wait on this ECB if it hasn't been posted yet?

ESQA Storage leak.
Esteemed gurus: We are a basic sysplex running z/os and z/os.e 1.4 on a z890-350. We shifted most all of our work to z/os.e about a month ago and have observed no ill effects. But we are seeing a slow loss of ESQA on the z/os.e LPAR. The SHOWZOS tool shows thousands of 'owner gone' entries. About half showing 112 bytes, the other 224 bytes. All that I can see are batch jobs. Again, there is nothing like this on the z/os LPAR. The jobs do not seem to have anything in common. Of the 3,800, there are seven jobs that are unusual (only 32 bytes) include RMM reports, DB2 image copies, and DFDSS backup jobs. There are about two dozen entries that have more then 224 bytes. I used TASID to view ESQA storage. I saw a few AQAT eye catchers, but mostly hex zeros. The only common denominator I suspect so far is OW57231 and our job scheduler. The job scheduler is a 'slave' or 'proxy' for the 'master' running on the z/os LPAR. I have a query in to that vendor. Does this ring any bells with anyone? Any suggestions on how to isolate the offending code? Anything to be added to my top ten suspects list? Is there an RMF report that might be helpful?

The idea was that the customer would specify a list of disabled wait state code/reason code combinations, and SADUMP would be automatically initiated when those occurred. And there would be an option to have SADUMP start the MVS IPL when SADUMP completed.

Auto re-IPL
OK, I would like to add my $0.02 to this thread. soapbox You may want to consider the old adage of be careful what you ask for, you may get it may apply to this topic. Consider if you will, something happened to z/OS that was sever enough to cause a wait state and/or stand-alone dump to occur, what are the chances that the system can be safely restarted without some investigation into the matter. My personal opinion is that z/OS is fairly bullet-proof and if something has caused z/OS to throw its hands up in the air, maybe someone should look into it first before trying to re-IPL. There is a similar option in z/VM-land on the SHUTDOWN command to REIPL the system automatically once the SHUTDOWN processing has completed. I have used this REIPL option on the SHUTDOWN command several times when I wanted to make some configuration change(s) only to discover that I caused a problem for myself by overlooking one thing or another. The software did what I told it to, but it was not smart enough to recover from my error. I have lost spool files and named saved systems by doing this only because another copy of a z/VM system volume was discovered during the IPL and this system's IPL was not using the correct set of volumes. Like I said, this was my error and not z/VM's. What if z/OS and JES2 decided to do a cold start on your auto re-IPL or found the wrong copy of a system volume, PARMLIB, etc.? /soapbox HITACHI DATA SYSTEMS Raymond E.

Sounds to me as if you should do an RCF against: http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/ibm3pg30/1.4.2.2 I certainly can't find the required information here (or anywhere else in the Enterprise Pl/I V3R4 documentation) Charles Mills [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Does anyone know the characteristics (lrecl and recfm) of the SYSDEFSD and SYSXMLSD datasets that may be produced by the Enterprise PL/I compiler? The documentation is apparently lacking.

Scott wrote on 24/08/2005 01:54:02 AM: Would a reIPL function/system command be a useful thing for z/OS?

We have a shutdown task, but it's home-grown and things tend to need some input to get the system down. As such, the proposed command would have limited application here, but it would have application elsewhere (see Brunos post), so there should be no downside. So long as it queried the operator for confirmation similar to the V XCF,xyz,OFF. Bruno, I saw a flyer for a product called iPLeasy a while back; ran shutdown/IPL from a web client. Don't know about automating/scripting it. Couldn't find a hit on google - maybe it was just vapourware. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

TCPIP abend.
Hi We are using ZOS 1.4 OS with CS V1R4. We are getting frequently TCPIP abend and due to this we have to recycle TCPIP or reIPL the system to connect to the network.

Re: Migration to RMM from Zara
You're correct that EDGTVEXT replaces ARCTVEXT and that is the way forward for the target DFSMSrmm environment. To maintain DFSMShsm consistency when running DFSMSrmm and Zara in parallel you will need to call the respective exits in turn. Therefore as Zara is in control, this ARCTVEXT exit will need to run as per normal to maintain DFSMShsm and Zara consistency, but a straightforward stub/link will be required to then call the EDGTVEXT exit to pass the same parameters to DFSMSrmm, maintaining DFSMShsm and DFSMSrmm consistency. BTW, this has worked for me on previous DFSMSrmm migrations, as most Tape Management Subsystems have their own iterations of ARCTVEXT to maintain DFSMShsm consistency. Regards, MWM.
