Problems with HSM WORM support

2005-12-22 Thread Natasa Savinc
Hello,

We wanted to implement HSM WORM support for backup. We applied
UA21482 (APAR OA07768), and enabled support via:
PATCH .MCVT.+286 BITS(1...)

I added one WORM tape to HSM backup pool and changed HSM backup
parameters, so that it directs backup to WORM.
When i try to perform backup, I get following messages:

 ARC0709I DATA SET BACKUP TASK TERMINATED, NO DAILY 539
 ARC0709I (CONT.) BACKUP VOLUME AVAILABLE
 ARC1388W DATA SET BACKUP TAPE TASKS ALLOWED IS REDUCED 540
 ARC1388W (CONT.) FROM 0002 TO 0001
 ARC0709I DATA SET BACKUP TASK TERMINATED, NO DAILY 544
 ARC0709I (CONT.) BACKUP VOLUME AVAILABLE
 ARC1388W DATA SET BACKUP TAPE TASKS ALLOWED IS REDUCED 545
 ARC1388W (CONT.) FROM 0001 TO 
 ARC1389E NO DATA SET BACKUP TAPE TASKS CAN BE STARTED

Is there something else I should have done before performing backup?

The other thing is - will I have to execute patch every time HSM is
restarted?

I opened PMR for this problem, but there is no response yet. So if someone
has an idea what to do, I will appreciate it.

Regards,
Natasa

Re: Basic IODF question

2005-12-22 Thread R.S.

Brian Peterson wrote:


The way I think about this is that there are two separate views of one data
source.

The hardware view is extracted from the IODF data set and loaded into the
machine when you load the IOCDS into the hardware.  You use the HCD dialog
to load the appropriate hardware view into one of the IOCDS slots in
the desired machine.  The IOCDS is then read by the machine when you
perform the Power On Reset function.  When you first install a machine, you
must perform the Power On Reset function to load the first IOCDS.  After
that initial Power On Reset, it is possible to perform many types of
changes dynamically via the MVS ACTIVATE command.

The software view is extracted from the IODF data set and loaded into
memory when you IPL and your LOADxx specifies an eight character Operating
System Configuration on the IODF statement.  After IPL, it is possible to
perform many types of changes dynamically via the MVS ACTIVATE command.

At IPL time, if the hardware view and the software view are
sufficiently similar that MVS is able to find its necessary devices, then
the IPL will be successful.  If the two views are identical - that is, the
two views were extracted from the same data source (the same IODF), then
the operating system will permit the MVS ACTIVATE command to make dynamic
changes.


That's the question: Which software view to choose during IPL ?
Remember assumption: single IODF contains several CPC definitions. Which 
definition will be used ? What criteria are considered to make a choice ?

When IOCDS is generated, one has to specify CPC for which the IOCDS is

Let's make another assumption, the machines are same models, i.e.
2064-1C10.
Question: How system recognize relevant CPC definition ? By CPC name

What happens when that field remain empty ?

Scott,
Yes, an ENQ on the GDG base is normal.  You can disable this by patching the
mcvt at +4C3 bit 6 (counting from 0 to 7).  It should look like: PATCH
.MCVT.+4C3 BITS(..1.) VERIFY(.MCVT.+4C3 BITS(..0.))

This can be found in the DFSMS/MVS V1R5 DFSMShsm Diagnosis Guide and the
R2.10 Guide along with the offsets as documented in the Diag. Ref. I don't
know what version your running but if you can't find the doc for your
version, the support center should be able to give you the correct offsets.
My guess is that they have not changed.

Re: Question on LLA managed module and its DSN

2005-12-22 Thread Peter Relson
The CDX is an OCO control block. I will comment only to say that it does
not contain a DDNAME. I do not have any idea why you thought it normally
does.

If your module was fetched from the LNKLST, you can use
SETPROG LNKLST TEST NAME(CURRENT) MOD(x)
and it will tell you the data set in which it resides.

I suppose you could take a dump of the LLA address space and scan around
for your module name

In general z/OS does not keep track of from which data set a module has
been fetched, whether the fetch is resolved from DASD or LLA.

I'm not sure where the confusion is or perhaps what you are really
asking.

OS configs are not tied to a processor definition. You can IPL any OS
config on any LPAR on any processor, whether it is in the IODF that is
activated on the hardware or not (assuming it is close enough as Brian

Re: Rule of thumb about paging / page fault rate

2005-12-22 Thread Avram Friedman
Most OS performance rules of thumb were developed for TSO and simple batch
workloads where each address space (region) served a single 'user' and did
no async i/o or any self directed, non os service task management.

To the extent that workloads have shifted to to multi user address spaces
that often implementing there own tasking structures and do a lot of async
IO the old rules of thumb are just flat out wrong,  not even close.

Some of the workloads that impact this are DB2 CICS MQ and IMS.
None of these work loads can tolerate any pageing.  The best number is
zero, zip, none, etc.  The reason is the entire address space waits for a
page fault representing delays for hundreds perhaps thousands of users.
It has always been the case for these workloads that given the choice
between small buufers (data base buffers for example) and system paging,
chose small buffers, application I/O does not cause all users to wait,
paging does!

In the newest mainframe version of DB2 V8.1 IBM now allows the option for
pagefixing database buffer prefixes and buffers.  Why? a huge improvement
in performance and reduction of CPU use  (sometimes 40+%).  Part of this
improvement is a result of elimination of the need for V to R translation
for I/O but a word to the wise,  Do not risk your shops critical
applictions to the theory is virtual memory and paging has been around for
years.

there is some indication that this (mvs performance assist on 3033) may
have been the early driving factor behind amdahl's development of
macrocode mode. the issue is that horizontal microcode programming (on
the high-end machines) is significantly much more complex than 370
programming. by this time (at least), 370 instructions (on the high-end
machines) were running at direct hardware speed ... so it was difficult
to demonstrate any of the ECPS-like speed-ups that we obtained from
doing simple migration of 370 kernel pathlength into microcode on the
low/mid-range 370s (where it avg. ten vertical microcode instructions
per 370 instructions ... and direct 370-microcode conversion achieved
10:1 speedup on 148 and 4341).

the mvs performance assist for the 3033 appeared somewhat to be
arbitrary changes to the architecture/features of the hardware (since it
was difficult to demonstrate any actual performance improvement of
simply changing 370 instructions into microcode instructions). if that
was going to be how the game was to be played ... amdahl was going to
need to get much more efficient at playing the game and tracking
architecture/feature changes. macrocode mode provided all the hardware
feature appearnce of programming in microcode but with the productivity
(and elapsed development time) of programming in 370.

once that level of machine feature delivery efficiency was obtained ...
it was relatively easy to do additional features like hypervisor support
... restricted virtualization subset that didn't require the vm kernel.
the response was pr/sm on 3090 which eventually evolved into the current
lpar capability.

 Quoting maximum packet rate isn't unreasonable. It's not just the

but there is hardly a vendor out there that doesn't quote media rate
... and there can be enormous number of reasons why sustained thruput
would be less

the original vendor mainframe tcp/ip product achieved 44kbytes/sec
and burned a full 3090 processor. i added rfc1044 support to the
product
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subnetwork.html#1044

and in some tuning work at cray research, we got 1mbyte/sec sustained

the 4341-clone processor. the 1mbyte/sec was the channel media speed
between the 4341 channel and the NSC router channel interface (much
lower than the either the cray channel interface or the NSC-to-NSC
box interface)

part of the difference was that the standard vendor box (8232) wasn't
a tcp/ip rounter ... but a lan bridge. the mainframe tcp/ip code had
to do the tcp/ip protocol to mac translation. for the rfc1044 support,
I just had to exchange tcp/ip packets with the NSC router. that and
various other factors resulted in rfc1044 having ratio of mbytes
transferred to mips executed showing nearly three orders of magnitude
improvement.

i once worked on an early lan crypto hardware that was suppose to
sustain media speed with minimum sized packets and support switching
keys on every packet ... now that got interesting.

Issues regarding attribute variables in IMS-DC

2005-12-22 Thread sudhanshu Kumar
Hi all,
In IMS-DC, usually with each MOD- variable ,we define
an attribute variable e.g.
MOD-VAR1-ATTR   PIC S9(4)  COMP.
MOD-VAR1PIC X(5).
the attribute variable is used to set screen
properties like protected,nodisplay etc.
In one mod-area,I have defined several attribute
variables.Then I change some of them through the
program and display the page.Now suppose user entered
some wrong value at one of mod- variables,then when
the program re-enters,I have to highlight that
variable's attribute field which was wrongly entered.
I do this by changing its attribute property and
resend the page again.The problem is now in the second
display,the attributes  of those variables that were
changed earlier,revert back to their originally
defined properties in the MFS,I mean they don't retain
 the new values set by the program previously.Hope I
have clearly stated the problem.
Also tell me is there a way to store the attributes
through the MID-AREA.This is because MID-AREA will
contain only those varibles that will be there on the
display page.But clear my former problem first.
Thanks,
Sudhanshu

3270 screen size limit

2005-12-22 Thread R.S.
I read recent threads about 3270 screen size, D4C32XX3 logmode and 
related issues.


I tested P-Comm with TSO with ISPF on different screen settings.

Results:
1. PComm accepts screen size up to 254x254, vertical and horizontal 
limit are independent one of each other.

2. ISPF does work with resolutions up to 60x160 (maybe more)
3. TSO (without ISPF) works with any resolution.

I believe the limits are documented, however I didn't find them.

Questions:
Is 254x254 limit of PComm or 3270 itself ?
What is the limit for 3270 screen size ?
What is the limit for ISPF ?


I have to admit, this is pure theoretical problem. Even 60x160 is eye 
torture (at least on my 'small' 19 screen).

Pure curiosity...

In a related topic does anyone have thoughts or recent references to
settings for MCCAFCTH in PARMLIB IEAOPTxx?

I currently use MCCAFCTH=(5000,6000), on my OLTP production partitions
with 32M and very large AFQ (no paging) and still have
MCCAFCTH=(2000,2500), for my test and development partitions which range
from 3M for a sandbox to 22M (with only a little paging) for the largest
overloaded parking lots for development CICS/DB2/IMS/MQ subsystems.   We
arrived at these values circa OW54399 and they have worked well so far.
I am getting new processors next month and hope to be able to reduce
memory pressures in the test systems as I can give them a larger fish
bowl to splash about in.

Any more current guidance on setting MCCAFCTH?

Must be PCOM.


What is the limit for 3270 screen size ?



12-bit addressing is limited to a 4K screen buffer. 14-bit addressing is 
limited to a 16K buffer. 16-bit addressing is limited to a 64K buffer.



What is the limit for ISPF ?



ISPF is the weakest link here. No more than 62 rows. No more than 160 
columns. :-(


http://bama.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0501L=ibm-mainP=R45606I=1




I have to admit, this is pure theoretical problem. Even 60x160 is eye 
torture (at least on my 'small' 19 screen).

Pure curiosity...



My normal size is 62x80 (primary screen size) for writing assembler 
language code, etc.  62x132 (alternate screen size) for looking at 
listings, the log, etc.


I would add more rows if ISPF would let me. Non-ISPF users here 
routinely use 72 rows. One guy even uses 90!

Re: Basic IODF question

2005-12-22 Thread Roy Hewitt

I'm not sure I completely understand the question.
When you ask Question: How system recognize relevant CPC definition? 
are you referring to the creation of the 1)IOCDS or 2)at IPL time? If 
its 2, then CPC information is not used at IPL time. You dont need CPC 
information in the IODF to IPL, You wont be able to do dymanic 
activates[1], but it will still IPL. The IPL process only uses the OS 
config definition in the IODF and this only contains the list of 
devices, EDT, and NIPcons etc.


Roy


[1] Well not quite true.. the only activate you can do is to the IODF 
that was used to create the IOCDS, ie you can activate to put the Hw  
SW back in SYNC.



R.S. wrote:

Brian Peterson wrote:

The way I think about this is that there are two separate views of one 
data

source.

The hardware view is extracted from the IODF data set and loaded 
into the
machine when you load the IOCDS into the hardware.  You use the HCD 
dialog

to load the appropriate hardware view into one of the IOCDS slots in
the desired machine.  The IOCDS is then read by the machine when you
perform the Power On Reset function.  When you first install a 
machine, you

must perform the Power On Reset function to load the first IOCDS.  After
that initial Power On Reset, it is possible to perform many types of
changes dynamically via the MVS ACTIVATE command.

The software view is extracted from the IODF data set and loaded into
memory when you IPL and your LOADxx specifies an eight character 
Operating

System Configuration on the IODF statement.  After IPL, it is possible to
perform many types of changes dynamically via the MVS ACTIVATE command.

At IPL time, if the hardware view and the software view are
sufficiently similar that MVS is able to find its necessary devices, then
the IPL will be successful.  If the two views are identical - that is, 
the

two views were extracted from the same data source (the same IODF), then
the operating system will permit the MVS ACTIVATE command to make dynamic
changes.



That's the question: Which software view to choose during IPL ?
Remember assumption: single IODF contains several CPC definitions. Which 
definition will be used ? What criteria are considered to make a choice ?

Hercules 3.03 announcement

2005-12-22 Thread Phil Payne
 That much said, I think that Jay's FAQ 2.02 makes it pretty clear what
requires a license and what does not.

No it doesn't - and that's precisely the point.

http://www.hercules-390.org/hercfaq.html#2.02

3)  Running under the terms of a disaster recovery provision of the OS license 
(but I really
don't recommend depending on Hercules to be your disaster recovery solution!).

   I kinda wish Phil had counted to ten before pressing the 'send' key this 
 time.

I'll stop complaining about this nonsense when Jay stops claiming it.  It's 
downright
dishonest and may result in someone doing something they believe may be excused 
when - in some
jurisdictions - it's actually a FELONY.  I couldn't give a stuff about IBM's 
lawyers (and that
ought to be obvious from other comments I've made) but I am concerned that 
someone new to this
whole discussion will believe this disaster recovery bollocks.  It's twaddle 
- there is no
such provision.

Re: Rule of thumb about paging / page fault rate

Hi,

In a related topic does anyone have thoughts or recent references to
settings for MCCAFCTH in PARMLIB IEAOPTxx?

I currently use MCCAFCTH=(5000,6000), on my OLTP production partitions
with 32M and very large AFQ (no paging) and still have
MCCAFCTH=(2000,2500), for my test and development partitions which range
from 3M for a sandbox to 22M (with only a little paging) for the largest
overloaded parking lots for development CICS/DB2/IMS/MQ subsystems.   We
arrived at these values circa OW54399 and they have worked well so far.
I am getting new processors next month and hope to be able to reduce
memory pressures in the test systems as I can give them a larger fish
bowl to splash about in.

Any more current guidance on setting MCCAFCTH?


One of our sysplex environments is like yours (5000,6000).  I removed
those settings some time ago from the other environments after the
fix(es) for OW54399 came out (I wasn't supporting the one that still
has it at the time).

However, I remembered this being mentioned again at SHARE in Boston in
Kathy Walsh's performance hot topics as related to OA12185 which was
closed SUG (see below).  So I guess you still may want to code it.
The OEM sort mentioned in the APAR is probably SYNCSORT, so if you
run SYNCSORT (I think you do, and so do we) you may want to check
with them about this issue.


APAR Identifier .. OA12185  Last Changed  05/10/18
  IAXUA SPIN LOOP LARGE PGSER FIX PAGE FIX

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
  An excessive spin loop is experienced in module Iaxua when a
  very large pagefix is issued at a point where central storage
  is constrained. This most often occurs within an application
  that is running an oem sort where the sort has issued a page
  fix for a multi-megabyte range of storage.
While it is documented under the PGSER macro that there is
  potential for a spin loop to occur for page fixes over one
  megabyte, this apar is being created explore a means to avoid
  receiving the excessive spin MSGIEE178I (IEE178I) and
  abend071.


  LOCAL FIX:
  In the ieaoptxx parmlib member specify, or change if already
  specified, the mccafcth parameter to:
  mccafcth=(4000,4500)

 COMMENTS:
  This APAR is being closed as SUG APAR. Development will
  consider fixing it in a future release if the fix is
  feasible.

Re: Rule of thumb about paging / page fault rate

2005-12-22 Thread Gerhard Adam
Most OS performance rules of thumb were developed for TSO and simple
batch workloads where each address space (region) served a single 'user'
and did no async i/o or any self directed, non os service task
management.

To the extent that workloads have shifted to to multi user address
spaces that often implementing there own tasking structures and do a lot
of async IO 
the old rules of thumb are just flat out wrong,  not even close.

Some of the workloads that impact this are DB2 CICS MQ and IMS. None of
these work loads can tolerate any pageing.  The best number is zero,
zip, none, 
etc.  The reason is the entire address space waits for a page fault
representing delays for hundreds perhaps thousands of users. It has
always been the 
case for these workloads that given the choice between small buufers
(data base buffers for example) and system paging, chose small buffers,
application 
I/O does not cause all users to wait, paging does!

While this is certainly true, the rationale behind zero paging is much
simpler IMHO.  In the past, paging was necessary because of smaller
real/virtual storage sizes and the basic problem of sharing memory on
behalf of all the executable program's demands.  In today's environment,
the primary use of storage is I/O avoidance and therefore huge amounts
of memory are committed for holding data buffers.  Simple reality is
that it makes no sense to allocate storage to avoid I/O, and then incur
paging I/O (for precisely the reasons listed above).

Many persons have misunderstandings about registered mail. The most
common are confusing registered mail with insured mail and / or
certified mail. I have never heard of a theft from US registered mail
(the Hope diamond was shipped via registered mail), although overseas
registered mail is not nearly so secure. Most diamond dealers regularly
ship diamonds via registered mail, as it is the safest of all transport
mechanisms.

Penalties for stealing registered mail are severe and almost certain to
catch the culprit due to the signature tracing.

they found that 10mbit star-wired enet (over cat5) had higher per card

Oh, it's hard to debug a link time problem if you only show us the program

 IEW2456E 9207 SYMBOL _Toupper UNRESOLVED.
 MEMBER COULD NOT BE INCLUDED FROM THE DESIGNATED CALL LIBRARY.

 We've included a large number of libraries in our
 bind SYSLIB:

 CEE.SCEELKEX
 CEE.SCEELKED
 CBC.SCLBCPP
 CEE.SCEECPP
 CEE.SCEEBIND
 CEE.SCEEBND2

 But no love.

 Can anyone think of any other library we need to include,
 or are there some bind or compile parms we should be
 using to keep this from happening?


 Here is the entire program:


 #include iostream
 using namespace std;
 int main(void);
 int main(void)
 {
 char myStr??(40??) = Hello Trainer's Friend!;
 std::cout  myStr  endl;
 return 0;
 }


 Kind regards,

 -Steve Comstock

If you look at the IBM-supplied procedures using the binder such as
CBCCBG, there are also additional inputs required on SYSLIN.

Well I'll be damned! Worked for me too. Clearly simplest
is best. Now I'll just go pick apart the generated JCL
and put it into our context.

What a valuable asset this group is!

Yes, I saw those earlier, but I was under the impression
(i.e.: mis-informed) that those were relics from earlier
times left behind by accident. In fact, in one of our
tests, we did have those, but they didn't seem to help.

Re: 3270 screen size limit

2005-12-22 Thread Chris Mason
To those who have been attracted by this discussion - such as Jerry,

This thread started because Radoslaw Skorupka had been reading earlier
threads and, like a kitten, started playing with them. This in order to
introduce the English saying Curiosity killed the cat. in a - to be taken
as homourous - reference to his last comment. g - actually you'll remember
the Cheshire Cat dissolved into just a grin. But enough of these merrymaking
puns.

The key thread that attracted Radoslaw's attention is probably the one which
directed readers to the following article:
 http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/TD102151
dating from the 13 October - if I can trust Google Group's handing of posts.

If you are not already the VTAM man/woman in your organisation, you will
need to ask him/her to convert you - and maybe your colleagues as well - to
what I used to call while teaching The Unspecified Screen Size Bind. As
mentioned this means finding or creating a suitable logmode table entry
which contains X'03' in the penultimate byte of the PSERVIC operand of the
MODEENT macro with X'00' in the preceding 4 bytes - although that may only
be a matter of neatness since they should be ignored.

If your shop relies on the IBM-supplied default logmode table ISTINCLM, then
one of the logmode entries described in this thread, which includes the
D4C32XX3 logmode mentioned in the article referenced above, can be used.

As a matter of completeness the significance of the letter mentioned by Ray
takes us back to the days of the 3274 when the C model was the
link-attached SNA model, the B model was the channel-attached non-SNA
model and the D model was another channel-attached non-SNA model - if my
memory serves me correctly.

Well, it always pays to check. I couldn't find a D3D32XX3 probably because,
if there were one, it would look just like D3B32XX3 and, indeed, the comment
reads 3274 MODEL 1B/1D (LOCAL NON-SNA). There is, in fact, also a
D3A32XX3, where the A refers to the channel-attached SNA model.

Why two SNA models? Well, for some reason maybe known only to the designers
of the 3274, there was a maximum outbound RU size limit of 1536,
corresponding to the RUSIZES code X'C7', for the A, channel-attached,
model which did not apply to the C, link-attached, model which, as I
remember, had no documented limit. In case the user would like an outbound
RU size larger that 1536, the D3C32XX3 logmode entry has X'F8' as the
outbound RUSIZES value which corresponds to 3840 0 - for no good reason
other than that value appealed to the guy who created these, essentially,
sample logmode entries. Or does someone out there have the real reason.
Incidentally I used to work next to that guy - twice - although he never
confessed precisely to that whim.

As William says, which of these or some suitable bespoke logmode entry
created for you you use is a matter for your local VTAM specialist to sort
out.

For what it's worth, one of the control blocks representing extents has

Re: Creating dynamic 3270 screen size definitions for increased productivity

2005-12-22 Thread Chris Mason
Thomas,

Here's a snip from an earlier post of mine:

 What you should be able to see in the trace is who complained
 - a negative response with a juicy sense code to set the
 investigative juices flowing - and when. You may even like to
 adjust your program to require some input after each
 character is presented so that you can work out precisely
 which one or ones cause(s) the PROG755 and the IKT00405I message.

Scanning a post in another newsgroup, I was handed a reference to a manual
where you can check on all these PROG codes and the juicy sense codes that
go with them - just in case it's still of interest.

Manual: 3174 Status Codes GA27-3832-08, Section 2.23 DFT Device Program
Error Codes, URL
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/CN7S8001/2.23?SHELF=EZ2HW125DT=19940419144012

I believe, in general, emulators emulate what is described here.

Here's the explanation for the codes that have been mentioned in this
thread:

755

Incorrect order received (EBCDIC value less than X'40' not recognized)

1003 OP-Check

753

Data follows an RM, RMA RB, or EAU command
GE or RA order received with incorrect character
SFE, MF, or SA order with incorrect attribute value for highlight or color
or a character set value of X'FF'

1003 OP-Check
