How to diagnose catalog search activity
LS: currently we encounter high I/O activity on some of our ICF catalogs. These catalog's are on dedicated volumes, all under VLF and the F CATALOG,REPORT,CACHE shows HIT% above 70%. (Coupling facility usage not possible due to SYSPLEXES sharing) Tthe create, update and delete activity I can figure out using the SMF records produced. Question: How to diagnose the searches issued against catalogs? Wel like to use the information to get the most used type of searches and with that the HLQ's to SPLIT up some of these catalog's. Number of entries per HLQ is maybe not the best indicator for this problem.

Question on HMC's Remote Support Facility
Hello listers, since this is my first time post to the list, let me introduce myself just shortly. I'm a german guy and working in the IBM mainframe environment for about 20+ years in several roles (system programmer, dba), most time as employee but since 2+ years as an independant. Now to my question: I'm currently in charge of doing some research concerning the HMC Remote Support Facility. My customer would like to be able to handle RSF calls from his customer for whom he is taking charge of support issues. There is a local HMC available, capable of accepting incoming calls, but the question is, what type and format are these calls and how could they be handled, e.g. by a yet to be developed application, capable of storing them in a local repository for later retrieval. I couldn't find any detailed descriptions or documentation concerning this feature, neither on IBM's sites nor on others. What I did find are the manuals about the S/390 resp. zSeries Application Programming Interfaces, but there is nothing in it concerning the RSF. Is there anybody out there who could give me some hint or advice? Is there any publicly available documentation, or is this all under closure by the vendors? Any help is highly appreciated.

Comments interspersed below. Timothy Sipples [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU 03/29/2006 07:21 AM Please respond to IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU To IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU cc Subject Re: Bringing the fun back to z/OS - new course With respect to Patrick's comments, WebSphere Application Server/Java is certainly not IDMS/ADO (for example) from a resource utilization point of view. A modest two-way CP-only 31-bit-only system is simply not going to be delivering very high WebSphere volumes, I'm afraid. Unless your WebSphere Application Server workload is trivial, please do one of two things: (1) get a zAAP (for WAS z/OS); (2) get an IFL (for WAS Linux). It's frankly bad *finance* to run (much) WAS without either of these two options. Spend money to save a lot more money. Not to be flip but you're preaching to the choir here. I totally agree. We've had an upgrade on the books for a while and I've been waiting out these last several weeks to find out *if* I'm still employed. Our parent company is doing some extreme cost cutting measures, not that I don't agree with that, and I don't foresee an upgrade anytime soon. Luckily I *was not* one of the individuals tapped on the shoulder the other day, so I feel very fortunate. And I'm now tasked with keeping these workloads afloat and responsive, with an expected increase to Users to our current production WAS environment. We're currently doing about 150K transactions/day to a couple production WAS's. With either one of these two approaches mainframe WAS becomes not just affordable but, in numerous situations, the *most* cost-effective J2EE platform. My personal favorite is zAAP, but please choose at least one of these two avenues. Again, I agree. I know that we could take the several Dell plexes that are set up at our corporate center and fold them in very nicely on z architecture but getting the necessary ear has been very frustrating. Maybe at some point we'll get that work and I'm confident that we'll support and tune it effectively. Hopefully when the cost cutting is done and the dust settles we get a fair shot at making the necessary proposals Lastly, I think there's an implication that workloads in USS cannot fit into WLM service classing, goals, etc. in order to manage together with batch and other classic workloads. I hope nobody is saying that, because it's certainly not true. z/OS and WLM will manage all work, including USS-based work, as you tell it. If your system is too small to meet or exceed all goals at peak, that'll still be true regardless of the *type* of work you throw onto the system. WebSphere z/OS is spectacularly plugged into WLM -- it works really, really well, at least for the past three versions that I'm more familiar with (5.0+). But if I'm trying to suck an elephant through a straw and want the elephant to more or less retain its shape, well... :-) I've had firsthand experience, without zAAP, trying to WLM manage just the startup of a WAS V5 cell group. The support tasks are recommended in SYSSTC. The lights dim here in Pa. when the startup occurs. Again we are on RB6 at this time in 31 with a very busy LPAR but the burn in time required for startup of the cell group with tasks defined to SYSSTC would have this effect on small n-way cec's of any low end z series box wo/zAAP as well. I was tasked with trying to get WAS V5 running but based on the hardware/software setup it just wasn't possible without disruption to our othe workloads. I think most of us that have played with WAS understand the reason for zAAP's and that is the take the burden off the general purpose CP's in support of Java. Java just doesn't seem to play nice with the traditional workloads. I've been onboard with our developers and techs since the free offering of WAS, V3.02, and I can tell you that WAS anomalies react different than any other workload I've ever dealt with. This and the fact that WAS multi-tasks can wreak havoc on a small n-way environment when these unforeseen anomalous events present themselves. All in all I like WAS and Unix workloads but if I had my choice I would run them on dedicated LPARS where possible. - - - - - Timothy F.

z/OS DFS SMB Performance
Problem: When connecting to work over VPN, SMB performance leaves a lot to be desired. Where a 200k file in the office loads in 5-9 seconds, over VPN it takes 50-60 seconds. It does not appear to be a server problem or a bandwidth problem. I tried the same file directly pulling it from an HFS and I got it loaded in 6 seconds from home. I then setup a file server on a z/OS box to see if it would perform better. It did not. Talking to local VPN expert, he basically said that SMB is chatty and that we will see some improvement with Windows Vista. Reading the DFS manual for SMB, there are several notes about performance one of which states that HEAPPOOLS(ON) provides a significant improvement. What they don't say is what the heap pool sizes and percentages should be for SMB. I am overriding the HEAPPOOLS in the JCL so these will not be system wide. I tried HEAPPOOLS(ON) and did see a good improvement. Any help would be appreciated.

S0F4 Abend
Hello to the list, Over the last couple of days I have experienced S0F4 abends on two separate PDSE, which are used for similar purposes. Diagnostic information and the DFSMSdfp Diagnostic Reference manual indicate Logical File Structure, Return Code 20. The Reason Code is not in the popular list but that may not be important at this stage. The temporary bypass has been to migrate the contents, CICS Command Program source to PDS rather than PDSE. The directory appears to be intact, both ISPF 3.4 and IEPTPCH show what I would expect. IEBPTPCH of the library fails Wrong length record when it gets to a particular source member. If I use IEBPTPCH to print the member as a sequential file, but with BLKSIZE=32760,RECFM=U on SYSUT1, I get the first block of data and then it falls over Wrong length record. It occurs to me that if PDSE internal structure is re-using the 4K pages then the contents of a member may not be contiguous as it is in a PDS, and therefore some internal chaining is required, and it is likely to be this which is causing the problem. My question to the list is; has anybody else experienced this type of problem, and if yes did that experience include the prospect of user error rather than system error. I should add that the system is z/OS 1.6.

Re: DB2 Question
usually better chance for an answer on DB2 listserv but I lurk here also. The ability to generate a DBRM is dependent on the status of the information in SYSSTMT and SYSPACKSTMT. BIND COPY accross subsystems does not have enough information to rebuild the DBRM. REMOTE binds do not have enough information to create a DBRM It depends on how many you need to rebuild - If you only have a few, there have been REXX code to rebuild DBRM.

IBM Enterprise COBOL - compiler options that impact behavior
This is a follow-up on an earlier IBM-MAIN thread. I thought that it might be interesting AND USEFUL to document which IBM Enterprise COBOL compiler options can impact run-time behavior. By this I mean that the same source code will compile cleanly with any setting of these options but that for programs that COMPLETE their run the output might be different. (I phrase it this way to avoid options that impact storage usage at compile or run-time. I am also ignoring performance differences.). Looking at the list of options at: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IGY3PG30/CCON TENTS My initial list of potentially impacting options is: - ADV - CICS (depending on suboptions) - CODEPAGE - CURRENCY - DATEPROC - DYNAM (only if CANCEL is used) - FASTSRT (only if DECLARATIVES are used) - INTDATE - NUMPROC - PGMNAME - QUOTE/APOST (figurative constant, not literals) - SQL (depending on suboptions) - SSRANGE (if checking is turned on at run-time) - THREAD - TRUNC - YEARWINDOW - ZWB Of you IBM COBOL types, do you have any opinions on any that I have missed - or that I have included that you think do NOT impact run-time behavior? -- Bill Klein wmklein at ix.netcom.com -- 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: z/OS DFS SMB Performance
From my experience SMB on any platform is slow. Think about it, a 200K file loading in 5-9 seconds in the office. That is a transfer rate of somewhere between 20 to 40 K a second. Now add the overhead of a VPN and the latency and through put of something that is most likely much less than the network between your PC and the mainframe at your work. What is the slowest network connection in your office? What is the speed of the network that your VPN is transversing? What do you mean pulling it directly? FTP? FTP is much more efficient that SMB. SMB is real chatty. IIRC it does one ACK for every two data packets and the ACK is not sent until the data packets are received. This is on top of the TCP level ACK's. Smith, Sean M wrote: Problem: When connecting to work over VPN, SMB performance leaves a lot to be desired. Where a 200k file in the office loads in 5-9 seconds, over VPN it takes 50-60 seconds. It does not appear to be a server problem or a bandwidth problem. I tried the same file directly pulling it from an HFS and I got it loaded in 6 seconds from home. I then setup a file server on a z/OS box to see if it would perform better. It did not. Talking to local VPN expert, he basically said that SMB is chatty and that we will see some improvement with Windows Vista. Reading the DFS manual for SMB, there are several notes about performance one of which states that HEAPPOOLS(ON) provides a significant improvement. What they don't say is what the heap pool sizes and percentages should be for SMB. I am overriding the HEAPPOOLS in the JCL so these will not be system wide. I tried HEAPPOOLS(ON) and did see a good improvement. Any help would be appreciated.

The improvement is just tremendous . try to find out on google how this WAFS , WAE and cisco accelerator work and it will give you some good insight in what John is describing exactly .

IBM Enterprise COBOL - compiler options that impact behavior
See comments below for some of my responses. I thought I was clear that I was NOT talking about performance or storage impacts. I think most of those types of impacts are cases where you and I disagree. Steve Comstock [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:442C6C2B.7020105 snip - DYNAM (only if CANCEL is used) This impacts runtime behavior whether or not CANCEL is used DYNAM and NODYNAM do not impact the output/results of a program UNLESS a CANCEL is used. CANCEL of a program CALLed via a literal with NODYNAM does NOT place the subprogram in initial state - while it does with DYNAM specified. What other run-time behavior difference do you know of? - FASTSRT (only if DECLARATIVES are used) This impacts runtime behavior whether or not DECLARATIVES are used, I believe I know of NO time that FASTSRT impacts run-time results (other than the OBVIOUS performance implication) except for when a DECLARATIVE should be reached by a bad SORT. This works with NOFASTSRT, but not with FASTSRT. - PGMNAME I don't see the runtime behavior impact of this Depending upon the setting of PGMNAME, a CALL to A2345678 may or may not find a subprogram with the name a2345678 or A234567899 - QUOTE/APOST (figurative constant, not literals) I don't see the runtime behavior impact of this With QUOTE the figurative constant QUOTE is With APOST it is ' That impacts comparisons and often DISPLAY and written output In some sense, TEST can impact runtime behavior. I think that IBM accepts as APARABLE and case where a programs that are compiled with various TEST options and the programs run to completion give different results. Do you know of cases where semantics ARE impacted? ARITH can impact runtime behavior You are probably right. I was thinking that most of the differences would be detected at compile-time if you tried using numeric items over 18 digits. However, this can impact Intermediate results - even if all data individual items are limited to 18 digits. DLL can impact runtime behavior How? OPTIMIZE can impact runtime behavior Again, like TEST, I believe that IBM accepts as APARable any differences in the results (other than performance) from various settings of OPT. Even the removal of non-referenced data items can't impact run-time BEHAVIOR for valid COBOL programs. OUTDD can impact runtime behavior I thought about including this. However, I think that LE will do a DYNAMIC allocation of whatever this points to, so that the results are always the same - just different DDNames. RENT can impact runtime behavior (along with DATA) How? (Other than where storage is allocated? This impacts performance but not RESULTS for two different programs that both run to successful conclusion. In some sense, RMODE can impact runtime behavior -- 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
