Re: TCP/IP over Cisco router CIP
Hal, This response has been due for nearly a month. I needed to be sure about the PPT SYST attribute before responding - see the SYST thread - and then I got waylaid with other stuff - sorry. If you had two machines (Central Electronic Complexes (CECs) is the formal language I believe), couldn't LPARs on one be the backup for LPARs on another in a parallel sysplex? Maybe that'll feature in your hot takeover. In other words I'm looking at the hierarchy of failure situations: 1. application 2. operating system 3. LPAR 4. machine You said you suffered from 1 (your IPL solution also covers 2) and 4 but never 3. Here I'm mentioning that dynamic VIPA can help you with 4 even if a fast IPL covers 1, 2 and 3. I guess it depends on your application but I would expect that, in many/most cases, restarting an application on another LPAR waiting with a live operating system was faster than IPLing. I've taken the simple view that one application has one IP address. Your use of the word application seems to consider composite applications with internal client-server relationships where components might be split onto different LPARs. The applications do not BIND as far as we can see, ... I think I'm right in saying there is always a BIND. Certainly for server programs[1], that is those programs where the initial contact is from the communicating partner, there must be a known IP address (and port) which the client making the connection (TCP)/initiating the transaction (UDP) specifies in the initial packet. Setting up this IP address and port is achieved by the bind() call. [1] For client programs using the connect() call, there is an implicit bind() call made within the connect() call. Because there is always a bind() call and because the server program will always specify INADDR_ANY, that is 0.0.0.0 - let us stick to traditional IP V4 for now, as the IP address (except when there is some customization for a specific address - which need not be specified), the PORT statement BIND parameter can always be used to specify a dynamic VIPA so that the VIPA becomes active with the program and becomes inactive with the program. Have I misunderstood something here concerning the lack of BIND? This is important since I wouldn't want anyone reading this to get confused over something so basic and vital for the use of dynamic VIPA. Maybe there is an issue with the only, as far as I know, alternative for server programming with is the PASCAL API. It may be that the PORT statement BIND parameter doesn't work with the PASCAL API. It's good that your automated VIPADEFINE and VIPADELETE work for you. An OBEY solution looks a bit complicated compared to the official way to move a VIPA associated with an application rather than associated with the LPAR itself. This is one of the following: a. You can ensure that the associated VIPA is active when the application is running by making the VIPA the value of the BIND parameter of the PORT statement for the server application. The VIPA would be defined using a VIPARANGE statement (VIPARANGE BIND in D TCPIP,,NETSTAT,VIPADYN messages) b. Alternatively, you can ensure that the associated VIPA is active when the application is running by adding a job step at the beginning of the server application procedure which activates the VIPA. The job step would contain the MODDVIPA program with -c specifying the VIPA. A job step should also be added at the end containing the MODDVIPA program with -d specifying the VIPA. This VIPA would also be defined using a VIPARANGE statement. (VIPARANGE IOCTL in D TCPIP,,NETSTAT,VIPADYN messages) c. An alternative to b is to have the application running on more that one LPAR and use your automation simply to issue the appropriate MODDVIPA command - or run a MODDVIPA procedure with suitable parameters. OSPF picks up on a VIPA being added to the HOME list and advertises the VIPA. As discussed in a spin-off topic in this thread you can ensure that the VIPA is advertised all by itself to the backbone router - in a typical network design - by use of the Advertise_VIPA_Route=HOME_ONLY parameter of the generic VIPA OSPF_Interface statement. (As is made clear in the spin-off conversation, I haven't actually tried this since the parameter is too new - but I proposed it based on a clear hole in OMPROUTE support, a hole now apparently filled.) If you wish I can send you my report which attempts to describe VIPAs - at the time of writing 2001. I detect you may have preferred to use MODDVIPA. With the aid of this report - written out of frustration with the official descriptions, so much good stuff so poorly described - you may find more comfortable ways to activate and deactivate your VIPAs. Since you regret that your applications do not support ARM, I guess you are operating a parallel sysplex. It is not actually necessary that an application incorporates support for ARM to be able to benefit from it. At the time I was examining the possibilities of dynamic VIPAs,

Re: TCP/IP over Cisco router CIP
Pat, Sorry about this very late response. Please see the post to Hal for a sort-of excuse. OSPF depends on routing by consolidation of many routes into one route. This is done just like subnetting is done, namely by having an, in effect, partial address - although it's still 4 bytes long - and a mask. The mask is also 4 bytes long although I suspect, in practice if not in theory, the 1 bits are contiguous and so the mask could be represented as the number of contiguous 1 bits, for example, 24 for the ever popular 255.255.255.0. OSPF depends on consolidation when a destination needs to be advertised throughout a network of OSPF areas - although it may only be one Area 0 in practice. I imagine it is a typical situation that one needs those host routes only in the stub area. The Area border router will - as RFC 1583 has it - distill the routes within the stub area for the benefit of routing in Area 0. I'm not familiar with the sorts of statements that may be available to, say, a Cisco router. I would expect to have to define the subnet that the dynamic VIPAs (corresponding to the host routes) belong to in the Area border router so that only this subnet is advertised to Area 0 routers - keeping to the simple model of an Area 0 with attached stub areas. It's unreasonable to expect the router to try to work out how to consolidate on the basis of received routing information, especially host routes. Actually one can say that a host route is a subnet route where the subnet mask happens to be 32 1 bits. This is not so far away from a subnet of 30 contiguous 1 bits which is also unreasonable as a basis for consolidation, the subnet of 30 contiguous 1 bits being the smallest subnet it is possible to have where the subnet mask still contains 0 bits. I expect the router would be capable of comparing the received routing information with the routing information it has been asked to advertise and realising that the former is encompassed by the latter. I've a vague idea I read something like this in the RFC, that a route range is advertised only when an advertisement for some subset of the range is received - but I could be wrong. In other words, I think the fixation was in OSPF, not in the specific OMPROUTE implementation. I blamed OMPROUTE because OSPF doesn't prohibit host routes; it's just uncomfortable with them in practice[1]. The fact that OMPROUTE has managed to come up with Advertise_VIPA_Routes=Host_Only shows that it was just a matter of throwing off blinkers. The excuse in the response from 4 years ago I sent to you was They (OMPROUTE instances) have to broadcast subnet routes in case there are routers out there that do not recognize host routes. This seems to assume that routers are so very likely to be averse to host routes that users shouldn't even be allowed to think about not sending subnet routes. :-) [1] I say in practice because the theory of OSPF actually starts with point-to-point routes, vectors. This is fully worked out before having to introduce complicated constructions such as shared access transport facilities, for example, LANs. Does this have a familiar ring for you? Thanks for looking up the parameter. I'd imagined you knew about it already.

Faulty memory is probabably more to blame, but I actually had 2 introductions to this issue. The first was when I was first playing with OSPF and was trying to duplicate as best I could the RIP filters I had in place. I was (correctly) told that I could not do that; that all the participants in an OSPF area really had to have identical (or at least compatable) routing information, and filtering would prevent that. I was also told (correctly) that OSPF depends heavily on routing by subarea. It wasn't until several years later, when getting heavily into application- specific DVIPAs, that I ran into this perpetually looping routing issue. ... It may be that enough people pointed out that this fixation on subnet routes was ridiculous and the dam gave way. ... I got the impression that, for most situations, OSPF *does* depend heavily on subnet routes, but DVIPAs do not fit well in that simple universe. An interface that appears and disappears, that moves from host to host, just wasn't considered in OSPF. In other words, I think the fixation was in OSPF, not in the specific OMPROUTE implementation. DVIPAs were (obviously) not considered by RIP either, but with RIP2 and an appropriate set of filters (that I will never be able to come up with again, I fear!) the chance of the perpetual routing loop is lessened.

Problem copying VM volumes under z/OS
I'm trying to use DFDSS under z/OS 1.4 to copy my z/VM 51 volumes and I am getting the following error message for every volume: ADR307E (001)-OPNCL(11), UNABLE TO OPEN VOLUME HI8801, 16 From message guide : 16 The VM-formatted volume does not have an OS-compatible VTOC beginning on track zero, record five. I try to format from z/OS, but without success with the copy, but when I format the output volumes under z/VM (ICKDSF CPVOLUME) its is OK. I am using the sysin : COPYTRACKS(0,0,3338,14) COPYVOLID - ADMINISTRATOR PURGE - CPVOLUME - INDDNAME(ENTRADA) - OUTDDNAME(SAIDA) Is it the only way to copy the volumes : 1) Format the volume from z/VM 2) Copy using DFDSS from z/OS or maybe I can format by z/OS ?

Re: New CLIST on SYSPROC - refresh
I issued the following command:
vlfnote add class(ikjexec) dataset('brot.cmdproc(tt)')
vlfnote update class(ikjexec) dataset('brot.cmdproc(tt)')
None of the above did the work. TT member still cannot be found.
The command I use to resolve this same problem is slightly different:
VLFNOTE UPDATE DSNAME('the.pds.name(member)')
It works consistently. VLFNOTE is in AUTHCMD.
The 'CLASS' parm is not required for this action, and may be why it does not
work for you...

SSL Certificate Signing

Re: SSL Certificate Signing
Not sure why, but we have had problems ftp'ing certificates to import.
What we end up doing is cut'ing from the PC and pasting into the TSO.
I was just recenlty made aware of this, the security people new but did
not tell any of the networking people. Here the mainframe network
sysprogs do all truly network functions (firewalls, switches, routers).
I was told that it has something to do with trailing blanks on the end
of the lines. That ftp was adding them, and something did not like
them. I want to do some testing, I think that using recfm VB should
work but I have not tried it yet.

Re: PROGxx APF and LNKLST VOLUME Best practices?
Great: 1) We’ll change everything in APF to SMS if it’s SMS. 2) So, for LNKLST if the datasets are in the master catalog, but not in the SYSRES nor in then MCATVOL, we should leave the VOLUME entry blank so the system looks for it in the master catalog, right?

Re: IPCS in Batch

Their solution was to take a financial transaction, encode it for digital signing and then transmit the original unencoded financial transaction (rather than the bloated encoded version) along with appended digital signature. The recipient would then re-encode the transaction and verify the digital signature.

Re: FLEX-ES
Hi Tim, I would advise anyone very strongly against the partnership approach. It falls into the paper recovery trap that many shops including one I worked at allowed to occur in the past. Documentation such as a letter indicating a reciprocal agreement could be produced which might satisfy the auditors but the hardware, carbon based units, and real access to back it up was never there. It was the most dangerous of constructs an illusion of safety without a real safety net. Does the partner have enough spare capacity to run your entire business critical workload on a few hours or even a days notice for weeks till other arrangements are made? Do they have an LPAR defined ready and waiting? CPU capacity available as 'spare' or more likely inactive but installed capacity? Do you pay for the feature to allow them to dynamically activate capacity? Who pays for tests? Do they have enough spare DASD capacity? Have their auditors and security administrators and senior management all concurred? That partnership probably won't get you past the security guards on a Saturday morning do you have escalation procedures? Is the sizing reviewed when business process changes occur or at least annually? A partnership implies that both partners incur very real costs or have approximately the same size expendable workload equal in size to the partner production workload that they are willing to totally sacrifice and allow the other party to process almost on demand. Business Recovery Providers are not free but to get a DR plan that will keep you employed after it's executed I think you need to get skin in the game. You either $build or $buy but I don't see DR instituted as a reciprocal agreement (free beer) as something suitable for most businesses.

Trying to do that would cause us to likely go under right now instead of in the case of a disaster. My other problem with any D.R. scenario is personnel. We are trying to make our z/OS recovery cook book. And we are getting there. The Sungard people do 99% of the initial recovery (getting z/OS running).

So if a major disaster hits our area (not just our computer room), then the lack of trained personnel may well cause the business to fail. And I'm not just talking I.T. people. What about end-users? You can't just take somebody off the street and have them be able to take over. So, our disaster recover, is more for a data center disaster and not a 911 type disaster where we are all dead. Of course, if I'm dead, I won't really care about the company too much, will I? I have one recovery site, and more than one customer.

With the advent of cache, striping, PAV, faster DASD, channels, and buffering, the old guideline of one-third into the pack (which I grew up with) has gone the way of the Dodo. Allocate (pick your own sizes), at the beginning of the pack, in this order: 1. VTOC 2. INDEX 3. VVDS 4. Catalogue (if you want/need one).

Re: User catalog space
The first issue is what value do you have your NOTIFYEXTENT set at? You can use the 'F CATALOG,REPORT' command to see your 'NOTIFY EXTENT' value. You may then want to do a LISTCAT on your catalog in question to see exactly how many extents are allocated, is there space on the volume for more extents, etc. I would also look at things like the HURBA, and FREESPACE to see if you really need to move entries to another catalog or perhaps you just need to reorganize the catalog. Assuming you need to move entries, then you are basically talking about a REPRO MERGECAT to move your records to the new catalog. You then would probably want to perform a REORG against the original SOURCE catalog. All the normal caveats when performing catalog maintenance apply: backups of each catalog, perhaps volume backups, consider LOCKing the catalog. Keep in mind that IDCAMS REPRO MERGECAT requires all datasets be closed. Should you want to perform the REPRO MERGECAT function and allow the datasets to remain OPEN, we (Dino Software) are currently looking for beta sites for our new TERADON product. TERADON allows the associated datasets to remain OPEN while performing the REPRO MERGECAT. You are welcome to call me offline should you want to get into more details for the steps involved in the IDCAMS REPRO MERGECAT process.

Re: Data conversion from 3380 to 3390 - H E L P
Willie, It's been a long, long time since I did this, but there are a few extra weapons in the arsenal nowadays. There is not much that is going to actually break when you go from 3380 to 3390. VSAM will look after itself and flat files will have wasted space. The main things that will break are DA files. First thing would be to think about your default device geometry in SMS. Your allocation will be influenced by this. I would suggest leaving it as 3380 until your conversion is complete, and then change to 3390. DCOLLECT is your friend. SMF records are your second best friend. You can use DCOLLECT to audit the attributes of your files. You can find and DA files here and check if they need any special attention. You can also use this DCOLLECT to identify your largest files. Just focusing on the largest files that make up 80% of allocated space will get the most gain for the least effort. Once you have found the largest files in DCOLLECT, use the Type 14, 15, and 6n records to find the job that allocates them. Replace the BLKSIZE parm with the DSORG parm and they will be created with SDB. The small datasets can be an exercise for a later time.
