fewer/faster vs more/slower in same plex

Re: OSA-ICC h/w s/w
There is no clear best choice for a console emulator, although attachmate,and IBM's eNet Personal Comm emulator seem to be the most widely used with others like tn3270plus and Reflection (no longer available as this name) seem to be able to work well also. The speed of the PC that you use is not a big factor so long as it's at least a Pentium 3 or higher. It's more important to have a reliable network card or built-in NIC interface on the motherboard as a reliable link to the ICC. You can scrimp on most everything else in the PC. You might want to also remove all of the games on the PC if it's a older/slower model, so that the operators don't spend more time doing a lot of game playing. I normally would say something like if you can spend the bucks on the mainframe you can afford the few hundred for a reliable PC, but I have come to realize that data centers don't always work that way. We use HP thin clients with flash memory and no disk. They run XPembedded, and have no games. g And they are nice and small, they stand along side or even behind the thin screen display. I set them up in admin mode, and the ops just have to turn them on and they go right into the emulation. We use Ericom PowerTerm, because it is locally (Israel) produced and has good support for Hebrew. Ours are also on a dedicated 10.0 network, and I have a point in my office connected to the same switch, so that I am not totally dependant on a VTAM connection.

Re: A little more insight on the Java strangeness I'm encountering
Steve,
Not being an expert in this area, I apologize for possibly wasting your
time, but I was hoping to seed your exploration with the information I
was given as a starting point.
It seems as though the file.encoding system property is related to the
file system you are using (HFS, z/FS).
It very well could be that there is an esoteric property related to the
actual mount point you are using... heck I don't know.
Here is a small java program I wrote to see what my file.encoding system
property was:
import java.io.*;
public class Jtest
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println(file.encoding is
+ System.getProperty(file.encoding));
}
}
In my case, the result was:
file.encoding is Cp1047
Cp1047 is EBCDIC Latin-1 (If I'm not mistaken).
I'm curious if yours says the same thing. It may not be a Java setting
that is causing your problem but a file system attribute somewhere.
Just trying to help,
Kevin

Re: z900 model conversions
We were hoping to downgrade our z900 from a 105 to 104 in January of 2007. IBM has told us that the announcement [] means we have to have the conversion complete by Oct 2, 2006, not just the purchase. Has anyone encountered a different opinion? I had assumed we could buy the downgrade and install it at a later time. Has anyone looked at buying an upgrade for installation after 10/2/2006? Any advice? In theory you could buy a used z900 Model 104 on the secondary market then trade in your 105 if you really wanted to stay in the family. You'd have to locate a -104 at the time you need it, but I suppose it's possible. But then you'd have to do a physical migration which would take a little work effort. I agree that the System z9 (probably BC) would be worth looking into. It has much more precise capacity settings than the z900, and you can add some speedy and affordable IFLs, zAAPs, and/or zIIPs. (At least three engines are reserved for that purpose.) It also has 19% fewer MSUs for the same average transactional throughput as your z900. In other words, for the same capacity you'll have lower software charges, at least for IBM software. It's very roughly like getting z900-105 performance for close to the monthly software charges of a z900-104. (Very roughly. Your mileage may vary.) The z9 BC is also about half the physical footprint of the z900, and I think it uses less electricity. As to why this z900 situation is as it is, it might have something to do with new European environmental rules. In fact, after a certain date IBM cannot ship any new pre-z9 mainframes to most of Europe. The other possible reason is that it no longer makes sense (given total costs) to change an engine configuration on a z900, at least in the upward direction. The newer models have significantly lower ownership costs. - - - - - Timothy F. Sipples Consulting Enterprise Software Architect, z9/zSeries IBM Japan, Ltd.

Not being an expert in this area, I apologize for possibly wasting your
time, but I was hoping to seed your exploration with the information I
was given as a starting point.
It seems as though the file.encoding system property is related to the
file system you are using (HFS, z/FS).
It very well could be that there is an esoteric property related to the
actual mount point you are using... heck I don't know.
Here is a small java program I wrote to see what my file.encoding system
property was:
import java.io.*;public class
Jtest
{ public static void
main(String args[])
{
System.out.println(file.encoding is +
System.getProperty(file.encoding));
}
}
In my case, the result was: file.encoding is Cp1047
Cp1047 is EBCDIC Latin-1 (If I'm not mistaken).
I'm curious if yours says the same thing. It may not be a Java setting
that is causing your problem but a file system attribute somewhere.

Re: fewer/faster vs more/slower in same plex
but it can be a challenge for workloads that are set up to use velocity goals in a mixed environment. Sometimes I've had to go against the single image concept of sysplex and set up different goals by lpar where I could. That does go against the intent of WLM, but ever since IBM allowed goals by SYSID, the architecture has been broken, in my mind (or what I laughingly call mine). But, I've found, that ever since we included I/O in the velocity equation, that the CPU differences haven't had a big impact.

Heads up OA16055 IRD VARYCPU
Hi, I have been very pleased with the way IRD VARYCPU and LPAR weight management work. The use of IRD eliminated most of the manual adjustments and balancing we had to do prior with LPAR CP assignments and weights. We took an emergency IPL last Friday morning due to fallout after the problem described in OA16055. VARYCPU was turned off till we get the PTF and requisites installed.

Write to BR14 allocated PSDS - Unitech ACR 3.3
I have a request for assistance in finding all JCL steps that use IEFBR14 to create (allocate might be a better word choice) data sets that are to be !written! to by INFOGIX/Unitech ACR version 3.3. The group in my shop responsible for care and feeding of this product contend that the vendor has told them that Since the product is LE compliant, it cannot write into a dataset that has been generated by the IEFBR14 utility. There WILL be testing (SMS and non-SMS) before this task is undertaken. I read the thread on EOF MARKS Tue, 30 Mar 2004 12:51:40 -0600, and loved the SMSBR14 idea for that situation.

Re: fewer/faster vs more/slower in same plex
I would add, use response time goals for everything you can. They are far preferable for batch, IMHO. Use a relatively low percentile and reasonable goals. Don't be too concerned about the monster jobs that run all night. You probably don't have very many of them. You'll probably find, as I did, that the vast majority of your important production jobs run in a relatively short time. Maybe a goal of 50% complete in less that 30 minutes will cover most of your work. The rest will go along for the ride. And don't forget to put as much as you can into discretionary. Maybe even last period TSO. On Tue, 23 May 2006 08:20:52 -0700, Steve Samson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jerry, Now would be a good time to move to response time goals for CICS (before the upgrade).

Re: the Java strangeness
Perhaps this is already long solved; excuse me if it is. I can't say where the translation is setup wrong, but I can almost say what is happening. Your utf8 output strings are being translated as EBCDIC, they are then being displayed as ANSI cp1252 or iso8859. If you look at the Hex for your good utf8 string, it is the EBCDIC for your error string. Hope this helps.

Re: ADR120E - DFDSS Error
My mistake, should have cut and pasted before. Example follows:
If you code,
BY((ALLOC EQ CYL) (CATLG EQ YES))
you receive all cataloged data sets with cylinder allocation.
You have uneven parenthesis causing your error in the first case. By not
having the second ( at the beginning of the second case, DSS doesn't
expect the second conditional argument to be present.

Re: Write to BR14 allocated PSDS - Unitech ACR 3.3
The group in my shop responsible for care and feeding of this product contend that the vendor has told them that Since the product is LE compliant, it cannot write into a dataset that has been generated by the IEFBR14 utility. I know absolutely nothing about LE, so this is pure conjecture. If LE always opens pre-existing datasets as INOUT, meaning that it reads from the dataset before it starts outputting to it, then it is possible that a dataset that was allocated with no EOF may always cause errors. Of course, this has nothing to do with IEFBR14 per se, but with a dataset which is allocated in JCL but is never OPENED for output. The PGM= could be anything. -- Bruce A.

Re: fewer/faster vs more/slower in same plex
I would add, use response time goals for everything you can. Yes, in general that is the right answer because the target unit (time) is invariant with respect to platform. Velocity was a bad idea. Importance alone would have been preferable, or some less obscure way of saying how much delay protection you wanted for the work, but now it is what it is. They are far preferable for batch, IMHO. ...for most batch. If you look at your initiator and batch class setup, you already have a first cut approximation at the goals. But don't overdo it. Some things just don't have a goal that you can predict and in those cases... Use a relatively low percentile and reasonable goals. Don't be too concerned about the monster jobs that run all night. You probably don't have very many of them. You'll probably find, as I did, that the vast majority of your important production jobs run in a relatively short time. Maybe a goal of 50% complete in less that 30 minutes will cover most of your work. The rest will go along for the ride. And don't forget to put as much as you can into discretionary. Maybe even last period TSO. Maybe yes, maybe not. Discretionary is just that. If you approach discretionary from the view that you don't really care whether or how it runs as long as it eventually finishes, you probably won't be disappointed. Otherwise, unless you really have capacity to spare (and keep soft/hard caps in mind!) you are very likely to find great slabs of the day where your discretionary stuff does not run at all - and ends up eating an initiator for each job that's actively going nowhere. In those cases it is better to have a goal, even if it's a pretty low one. And if you're not resource-wealthy and don't want to spend so much time dinking around with your policy, set a low goal and be done with it. Now would be a good time to move to response time goals for CICS (before the upgrade). In the mixed environment, the achieved velocities may vary widely, but the RT goals should be met on either platform. I -STRONGLY- agree with Steve Samson's advice above ps.

Re: GRS and Ficon CTC
still use the CF to communicate between systems in each plex, but I guess you need some other method to go between the plexes. There is a restriction (from day one) that a CF can only be used by one SYSPLEX at a time. So, Inter-PLEX communication must be handled differently. As an aside, there is a design flaw in CF Management, that can actually cause degradation. 1. A CF can only communicate with one SYSPLEX at a time. 2. To communicate it must have policies loaded that state the PLEX it belongs to. So, why does the OS (390 z) poll any CF that is online? Which can interupt the work being done by that CF? I asked and was told: because you may want it to be available. Yes. But! I can only do that if I follow steps one and two listed above. This introduced one more complexity in the environment. We had to implement, and maintain, automation to vary them offline. It was either that or asymetric IODF's. We had our FEPs defined to 2 systems for availability reasons; the non-owning system NEVER polled it. Why do it to non-owned CFs? - -teD 300,000 Kilometres per Second Not only is it a good idea!

Can someone explain how/why my IGGPRE00 is even getting picked up during DADSM processing? -- 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 This email/fax message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Re: Write to BR14 allocated PSDS - Unitech ACR 3.3
If I am not mistaken, if you allocate on an SMS-managed volume and specify enough DCB attributes so that SMS knows that it is intended to be a SAM data set, SMS will write an EOF at the beginning of the first track and correspondingly set DS1LSTAR. I seem to recall this as one of the features that SMS provided when it first came out. == Art Celestini Celestini Development Services Phone: 201-670-1674Wyckoff, NJ = http://celestini.com = Mail sent to the From address used in this post will be rejected by our server.

There are actually four ICEAMx installation default modules, and four ICETDx installation default modules. Frank, Just a quick question. Instead of masking four usermods why not have just 1 ? this would make life a lot easier ? ex: ICEDEF CSECT ICE1 type=tso,option= ICE1 type=batch,option=??? etc etc end Ed -- 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

If LE always opens pre-existing datasets as INOUT, meaning that it reads from the dataset before it starts outputting to it, then it is possible that a dataset that was allocated with no EOF may always cause errors. Of course, this has nothing to do with IEFBR14 per se, but with a dataset which is allocated in JCL but is never OPENED for output. The PGM= could be anything. But, in the broader view, SARCASMWhy can't IBM's premier OS, whose predecessors helped send men to the moon and back, do a better job of keeping track of where files end?/SARCASM Gil, They give you an option to do so if you fail to use the option so then is option user error?

SMP/E SMPWRK* vs. SDB
I read: #4.41 SMP/E V3R4.0 Reference ___ 4.41 SMPWRK1 Notes: 2. Do not specify BLKSIZE=0. SMP/E does not support system-determined block size (SDB) for this data set. Why? Would it be any better if the programmer specified explicitly the same value that SDB would happen to choose? -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL -- 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: PTF 24187 IS NOW AVAILABLE -PE- - -
In a message dated 5/23/2006 5:12:13 P.M. Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Most probably, on both cases. You could check the PTF and then look up the APAR which is written against it. Then make a decision as to whether it will affect you or not. For further clarification. The n is Now Available is part of the rollout packaging. The -PE- suffix is added when an APAR(s) is taken after psi is done either internally or externally. Usually have to do research via IBMlink and like Wayne said make a determination as to fixing PTF or is it OK to let it stay unapplied. This is where I really miss the SE's.bff.. -- 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
