Problems with HSM WORM support
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.

Re: Basic IODF question

Re: Rule of thumb about paging / page fault rate
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.

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.

Hercules 3.03 announcement
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.

Re: Rule of thumb about paging / page fault rate
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).

Re: Another incident
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.

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.

Re: Maximum Extents in z/OS 1.4
For what it's worth, one of the control blocks representing extents has changed quite a bit for z/OS 1.7 Methinks it looks like preconditioning for the flood gates to open for the number of allowable extents.

Re: Creating dynamic 3270 screen size definitions for increased productivity
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 Chris Mason - Original Message - From: Thomas Berg [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Sent: Wednesday, 21 December, 2005 3:12 PM Subject: SV: Creating dynamic 3270 screen size definitions for increased productivity Yes, I have tried that; got PROG753 instead. :) -Ursprungligt meddelande- Från: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Tomas J Fott Skickat: den 21 december 2005 15:05 Till: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Ämne: Re: Creating dynamic 3270 screen size definitions for increased productivity You can suppress xPROG755 message. Add following stanza to the bottom of PCOMM configuration (.WS file): [LT] UndefinedCode=Y Tomas Yes, I do also get a xPROG755 error after the first couple of IKT00405I messages. It's interesting that Vista have no such problems (and that You also have problem with PCOM).
