Re: F against a REXX STC
Can I send MVS modify command against a REXX that is running as an STC? I did something very similar with a Cobol program. I guess that you can do the same in Rexx (set-up of the environment may be a little harder, though). I've written an assembler program that set's up the plumbing for handling the start, modify and stop MVS commands and then attaches a subtask that is running the Cobol program. Communication between the assembler and the Cobol program, in my case, is a simple structure in the assembler programs' working storage, mapped in the Cobol LINKAGE SECTION. When a modify command comes in, the assembler code handles it, analyzes the meaning of it and puts the corresponding values in the communication structure. It then POSTs an ECB on which the Cobol program (through a call to an other little assembler sub-routine) is waiting. Cobol program picks up the parameters from its linkage and processes. In the main assembler program I have also a STIMER that pops every-so-often and writes out a WTO to say it is still alive. This prevents the process from abending for inactivity time-out when it is running as a simple job (handy during testing...)

GRS ring vs star mode
I created sandbox sysplex within one CPC (shared CPs for both MVS and CF LPARs, IC channels). I observed significant performance improvement when changed GRS from ring to star mode. I didn't notice such improvement, when changed XCF transport from CTC (ESCON) to CF structures. From the other hand I was told that there is not noticeable difference between ring mode and star mode for two-member sysplex. Is the difference because of star mode advantage or just I have something something to tune when using ring mode ?

Re: MEMLIMIT and IEFUSI and GRS
From: Peter Relson Time to enflame the waters... I've been away for a couple of days. Seems this didn't even register a bite. Time for me to rectify that oversight. There is absolutely nothing wrong, incorrect, improper, or unexpected about any system space (GRS) using as much memory above 2G as it wants, provided that it has documented that use so that customers can properly plan. Note that I am differentiating GRS from DB2 in this regard. Hey Scott, are you ears burning mate ;-) To my thinking MEMLIMIT is the above 2G analog of REGION. REGION does not apply to authorized high private subpools; MEMLIMIT would not apply to high private above 2G if such a term existed but it comes down to storage above 2G obtained by system spaces. This (auth exception) has been a cause of some angst for years amongst (some of) us poor plods that have to keep working user systems perambulating along.. Even were it true, we might still have a bitch - but there are any number of ISVs out there all demanding Auth libraries, and all trying to use all nefarious means to bypass any and all sane controls by the *USERS* that purchase their software, and continue to pay the IT equivalent of usury. system spaces in this context may have meaning to you Peter, but in the real world it means bloody near anything that runs. And all that you would do is break the system by trying to impose a limit where none should be imposed. And why is their no tracking of said usage ???.

Re: Sharing z/OS DASD under VM
In the TMON lab we always ran new ESP releases of z/OS under z/VM just so we could have read only access to our existing DASD in the Sysplex before toleration service was available to actually bring the guests into the Sysplex. This worked well you just have to have some volumes exclusive under z/VM read/write for work data sets on the guest. It allowed us to easily import or reference data sets from our normal systems. This is perfectly safe since z/VM will enforce read only access if that is the way a disk is attached you are not violating any sharing rules. If you have problems it will be in the guest reading something dirty without serialization but that was acceptable for our test systems.

Re: MEMLIMIT and IEFUSI and GRS

A2: It depends upon the hardware that the CF is running on. According to PR/SM Planning Guide (SB10-7036-04), any CF running on z890 or z990 [or newer] requires a connection to the same Sysplex Timer providing time for all members of the parallel sysplex. If the CF is an LPAR in a machine which is already connected to the sysplex timer, this is sufficient.

Re: Rexx compiler runtime question
Then the customer must complete the installation instructions for making the Rexx Compiler available on his system. Specifically, he must update IRXCMTPM in SYS1.LINKLIB to reflect the fact that the Rexx Compiler is installed. By STEPLIBing to xxx.SEAGALT, the customer would pick up the copy of IRXCMPTM provided in that data set before the default one found in SYS1.LINKLIB. However, since the customer does not wish to STEPLIB to xxx.SEAGALT, then they must update the version of IRXCMPTM in SYS1.LINKLIB. One explanation for this process is in APAR PK02480 under heading 6. Install the Compiler Programming Table (CPT). Another is presumably in the installation documentation for the Rexx Compiler. A generic version of this procedure is also found in TSO/E Customization, topic 7.1.3 The Compiler Programming Table, which contains the following text: The IRXCMPTM module that TSO/E provides in LINKLIB contains no entries, which indicates to TSO/E that a compiler runtime processor is not installed. TSO/E provides source for a sample compiler programming table in SYS1.SAMPLIB member IRXREXX4. IRXREXX4 is not intended to be used as shipped in SYS1.SAMPLIB.

Re: Rexx compiler runtime question
The customer does not license the compiler. So there is no matter of installing the compiler. This is all about the alternate library. He has it installed, but apparently in the wrong place. I think I am starting to understand this. IBM supplies a null IRXCMPTM in SYS1.LINKLIB. To use the alternate library, you have to get the one from SEAGALT ahead of the one in SYS1.LINKLIB in the search order. Putting SEAGALT in STEPLIB does that, but the customer does not want to do that. I guess the LPA is searched ahead of SYS1.LINKLIB but the LinkList is not? Or is it the other way around? (Again, forgive my confusion, I don't pretend to be a sysprog.) The problem appears to be that the customer's job is finding the original IRXCMPTM in SYS1.LINKLIB rather than the alias for the one in SEAGALT because it's in the wrong library or list (see previous paragraph). Any one of you experts who would like to straighten out my confusion, your assistance is welcome.

Re: GRS ring vs star mode
My story is improbable but true. We have four full function parallel sysplexes in our enterprise. Of these four, three were converted to star mode some time ago. The fourth had at most two members, one of which was very lightly used. So lightly used, in fact, that we stopped running it altogether; the LPAR has not even been activated for some time. Conversion from ring to star mode hardly seemed worth the trouble. A few months ago we had occasion to run a catalog scan job on all sysplexes. It did very heavy reads but no updates. We noticed after a while that the job ran *many times longer* on the ring mode sysplex than anywhere else. No more catalogs to scan; no more data sets; just a lot more elapsed time. Only one image IPLed on a huge box: a 2064-1C6 with 10 gig of memory. I had an inspiration. We converted the sysplex to star mode. From that moment on, with no other changes, the catalog job ran as well there as it did on the other star mode sysplexes. Conclusion: even with *one* member, star mode rules. . . .

Re: Rexx compiler runtime question
I don't like to depend on the coincidental search order of libraries that IBM supplies. We modify IRXCMPTM with an SMPE usermod. It goes on each new release with some simple MCS updates. The module goes into SYS1.LINKLIB. BTW This is the right way to handle lots of customization. We have 70 - 80 usermods for everything from ISPF panels to system exits. Once you've the constructed the usermods, they're easy to maintain. You also have the incomparable of advantage of learning--via SMPE conflict messages--when something you've tailored is getting updated by IBM PTF, so you can go back and revisit/rework your usermod. . . .

IBM supplies a null IRXCMPTM in SYS1.LINKLIB. To use the alternate library, you have to get the one from SEAGALT ahead of the one in SYS1.LINKLIB in the search order. Putting SEAGALT in STEPLIB does that, but the customer does not want to do that. I guess the LPA is searched ahead of SYS1.LINKLIB but the LinkList is not? Or is it the other way around? (Again, forgive my confusion, I don't pretend to be a sysprog.)

Re: Rexx compiler runtime question
I say 'coincidental' because load module components can move from release to release. IBM might decide, for example, to put something into SYS1.LPALIB for performance. As for whether a usermod is a true 'modification', that's a matter of terminology. We have several 'mods' that just turn a SAMPLIB member into MOD/LMOD elements. That way if the SAMPLIB member gets updated, then we find out immediately. As for the other examples (SDSF parms, LE parms), we install those with SMPE usermods also. Quick and dirty is high on speed, low on hygiene. Cleaner may mean quicker down the long road. . . .

Re: GRS ring vs star mode
How about some-one going the otherway - more improbable ???. Multi-site STAR about to be broken down to a (single-CEC) ring of monoplexes. True ... I did some numbers on the environment - CATALOG is a *BIG* contributor to GRS traffic. Historically, this customer has some catalogs on mixed volumes, and so converts IGGV2. Placing a few usercats on their own volumes and allowing the RESERVE to stand more than halved the GRS traffic. Doing likewise to the (shared) MCAT will halve the remainder - at least. You might all be surprised how much action your mcat(s) attract. Things can be done in preparation, but the change to ring mode instills dread. Shane ... From: Skip Robinson My story is improbable but true. We have four full function parallel sysplexes in our enterprise. Of these four, three were converted to star mode some time ago. The fourth had at most two members, one of which was very lightly used. So lightly used, in fact, that we stopped running it altogether; the LPAR has not even been activated for some time. Conversion from ring to star mode hardly seemed worth the trouble. ...

Re: IEFACTRT modifications
IEFACTRT can use a system routine (IEFYS?) - usually link edited in - to write to the messages data set (where the COND CODE is) without having to worry about WTO routing codes and SYSLOG or console effects. That's what most flower boxes use. Many places use IEFACTRT to issue WTO messages reporting the step completion results for job log and/or syslog reference. After the demise of the I/O count zap usermod I resorted to using IEFU83 to trap SMF type 14/15/64 records to report EXCP counts against each data set. Without the ability to use IEFYS in this exit I had to use WTO with ROUTCDE=11 to get the info to the messages data set. I did not want all batch data set activity logged to the syslog, or even reported in the job's own job log. Fortunately, though IBM taketh away it also giveth. OCO prevented (for practical purposes) an updated I/O count zap hack but MPF had been introduced. So, a few simple bit switching MPF exits allowed the messages issued by my IEFU83 to show up in the messages data set without clogging up the job log, syslog, or console(s). The same could be done for any WTO messages from anywhere (given known message ids). The messages also go to the Master Trace Table if that is a consideration for anyone. It wasn't for me. In fact it provided a nice place for me to observe how many messages my exit was producing system-wide.
