z/OS V1R4 SEND command to operator console
Hi all, I'd like to use MVS SEND command to send 'highlighted' messages to operator console with message level = 'I' [Immediate action messages (descriptor codes 1 and 2) are to appear] to alert operators at the last step of a batch job (probably use PGM=IKJEFT01) I've checked command manual that the OPERATOR=routecode may be the suitable parm for this, e.g. SE 'pack offsite tapes...' OPERATOR=1 (1 = master console action or 2 = master console information) however, it just issued a message to console but it was *not* 'highlighted'... did I miss something or it is also related to the console setting? (the operator console has 'ROUTCDE=ALL') please help...

Re: Write to BR14 allocated PSDS - Unitech ACR 3.3
With SMS, RLSE, (Yes, Immediate) at least I think I've seen it, happens at step end. You're correct for non-SMS datasets. You don't think about partial release of the space management function activated via management class, do you? A data set might loose its allocated space during space management, but it will not during allocation, even if SMS writes an EOF into it.

Re: Write to BR14 allocated PSDS - Unitech ACR 3.3
LE has nothing whatsoever to do with it. A dataset is a dataset is a dataset. Well, there are those who get an EOF written at allocation time and those that don't. Can't remember if having SMS active is sufficient of if the data set needs to be managed to get the EOF written.

Re: SMP/E SMPWRK* vs. SDB
John S. Giltner, Jr. wrote: It also says: 3. If the BLKSIZE value is omitted or invalid, SMP/E uses a default of 3200. So I would assume that it is looking at the blocksize prior to open time to verify that it is a valid size. Since 0 is sort of not really valid, it should default to 3200. But you would have to figure after over a decade of SDB that somebody could have easily added a check for 0 and use that. Could be that the SMP/E developers don't beleive that SDB will generate a valid block size for FB/80? I think it's typical for IBM. Examples: 1. DFSMSdss doesn't use LBI, it uses illegal 64kB blocks on tapes using EXCP. Such dump cannot be easily copied, RMM (IBM product!) have no information about the blocksize and then dataset size... 2. DB2 doesn't (wasn't) check RACF profile when started/closed. Effect: everybody (who can issue operator commands) can kill DB2. The same person can be strictly controlled when i.e. using DISPLAY command, he could be authorized to D SMF, but not D IPLINFO. But not -dsn STOP DB2. 3. IND$FILE also uses BLKSIZE of 3200/6160.

Re: 'Problem' with EXPDT on SynchSort SORTOUT
This EXPDT setting is *NOT* honoured. Is this WAD (Working As Designed) with SyncSort? This is not SYNCSORT. MVS allocation does not put the EXPDT in until you close the file. It doesn't make sense to do it at open time. Then, you wouldn't be able to do anything with the file. To me, what you're attempting doesn't make sense, either?

Re: fewer/faster vs more/slower in same plex

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... Im not sure what you mean by that, Chris. Initiator and class setup didn't tell me much. I had to look at typical turn-around times and the number of jobs. As far as not having A goal that you can predict, are you talking about individual jobs? That's not what you need to think about when setting goals. That's why I suggested using relatively low percentile. If you tell WLM that you want half of your production batch to finish in ten minutes, all jobs that are in that service class will get the same dispatching priority, etc, which will be managed to provide that level of service to the half that finish quickly. 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. In my experience, there are usually some cycles available for discretionary work, even when you think your CPU is pegged. Discretionary work gives WLM the opportunity to use that last little bit of resources. Without it, you might find that you are unable to effectively use that last percent or two. And if your discretionary isn't running at all, it may be that you have set unattainable goals on some of your other work, and WLM is struggling to meet those goals. 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. Initiators are also resources. WLM can manage them quite nicely in most cases. If you frequently have to fiddle with your policy, you have probably set goals that are too aggressive. 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: Write to BR14 allocated PSDS - Unitech ACR 3.3
In a recent note, Art Celestini said: Date: Tue, 23 May 2006 20:18:02 -0400 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. Underreaching. Why the restriction to SAM? Allocation ought to write EOF whenever a NEW primary extent is allocated, regardless of known or unknown DSORG. The one possible exception is when the programmer requests an absolute track address (is this even supported nowadays?), since that might be an attempt to recover data after a DSCB was lost, and writing the EOF might obliterate the data. I'm more tolerant of the restriction to SMS; not all new enhancements should be retrofitted to obsolete functions. -- 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: SMP/E SMPWRK* vs. SDB
In a recent note, John S. Giltner, Jr. said: Date: Tue, 23 May 2006 23:26:58 -0400 It also says: 3. If the BLKSIZE value is omitted or invalid, SMP/E uses a default of 3200. I omitted that bullet deliberately. I believe IBM has been known to accept APARs on other products that similarly thwarted the operation of SDB. The Rexx interpreter comes to mind. So I would assume that it is looking at the blocksize prior to open time to verify that it is a valid size. Since 0 is sort of not really valid, it should default to 3200. Well, 0 _is_ a multiple of 80, so then don't even need to test for it as a special case. Just divide and verify the remainder is 0. But you would have to figure after over a decade of SDB that somebody could have easily added a check for 0 and use that. Could be that the SMP/E developers don't beleive that SDB will generate a valid block size for FB/80? Well, since not everybody uses FB/80, they might have assumed that case was not sufficiently exercised in the field to be trustworthy. Isn't 3200 the limit of Linkage Editor's SYSLIN? They might have feared that SDB's default half-track allocation would break the Linkage Editor utility. -- 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: 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, I believe you are right, but I can never remember the exact rules to get the EOF written. I searched the FMs once, but I don't think it is documented. but actually DS1LSTAR is still zero in that case. the EOF is record 1, so the last data block is record 0. You can't tell the difference from LSTAR. As for Gil's suggestion that the access method should not allow you to read past LSTAR, in the past it was not uncommon for LSTAR to be inaccurate. It is updated at CLOSE but if CLOSE fails or system crashes or whatever, the DSCB may not get updated. There may be lots of valid data past the LSTAR. Not so common today but can happen. -- Bruce Black Senior Software Developer Innovation Data 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

Re: SMP/E SMPWRK* vs. SDB
-Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R.S. Sent: Wednesday May 24 2006 00:10 I think it's typical for IBM. Examples: snip 2. DB2 doesn't (wasn't) check RACF profile when started/closed. Effect: everybody (who can issue operator commands) can kill DB2. The same person can be strictly controlled when i.e. using DISPLAY command, he could be authorized to D SMF, but not D IPLINFO. But not -dsn STOP DB2. This sort of makes sense, though, if you think about how the command is being processed. DB2 commands are routed via the SSI prefix character(s), so my take is that this occurs before MVS command SAF (being generic, here) checking. If DB2 did things right (ahem) and used MODIFY (like many other data base, TP monitor, and server products), then SAF could protect through the command facility (thou shalt not perform MODIFY against *MSTR, for example). But because it's the way it is, you have to GRANT/REVOKE in DB2, which puts what I consider not-part-of-data-access-management security in the hands of the DBA, rather than the security administrator. (Disclaimer: I've worn the security administrator hat a couple of times in my career. Caveat utor.) 3. IND$FILE also uses BLKSIZE of 3200/6160. There are more examples like the above. At one time, the linkage editor was very touchy about block sizes 3200 unless you played games with PARM SIZE= and REGION.

cost of a CPU side-grade
We have a z890 (2086 capacity 250). We also have an IFL on this box. We are not using the IFL (don't ask, I'll whine). I would like to convert the IFL to a zAAP. I cannot see if this is possible, or how much it may cost. Anybody know how I can find this information, WITHOUT TALKING TO IBM SALES. Talking to sales is: (1) not within my authority; (2) frustrating. But I'm trying to sell this to my team leader to bump it up the line. If that looks possible, then I need to sell using Java for some things to our applications people. We are very legacy on z/OS (basically if it ain't COBOL, we don't use it in house).

CA Unicenter Solve Operation and zOS 1.7
Hi all, I would like to know if any of you who have migrated to zOS 1.7 is using CA Unicenter Solve Operation 5.0. We are having a problem with this software and want to know if it happens only here or this is a general situation. Our problem does not occur everytime and is related to NETMAGDB enqueue that hangs Solve startup until we drain the INITIATOR that is holding this ENQ (Yes, INITIATOR). CA has said that it's related to SMF exits issueing WTOs which intervenes with DEQ process, but AFAIK there is no IBM program that issues this ENQ.

I've been using WLM since January 1999, and I have never had a homogeneous plex. Nor, have I had all the problems that everybody is talking about. These are 3-4000 MIPS plex's, with IMS, DB2, CICS, TSO, MQ Batch. Pretty much the same here, but I have used response goals for CICS and DDF and many times I have had DB2 regions in SYSSTC (no goal) or different velocities by LPARs since that was allowed in OS/390 2.10. The problem has been batch. I've handled that by classifying by JES2 MAS at times (again, since OS/390 R10 for systems in the same sysplex with their own spools) but that has only helped me on a few occasions. Even now I have all z9s but one z900 as a penalty box to runs a certain unnamed software package that charges up the you know what. Of course the production jobs on the z900 don't achieve the velocity they do on the z9 LPARs in the plex, but I have the velocity low enough where goals are met. Most of the batch runs at night when there is exta cycles anyway (the z900 LPAR only runs batch for the most part, not CICS/DB2/IMS). I admit I have never tried percentile goals for batch as Tom suggested, but I'm not sure what benefit I would get from specifying an unagressive response goal versus an unagressive velocity goal. I can guarantee that many less jobs can end in a given time on my z900 LPAR with 1 or 2 CPs than my z9 LPARs with 4 or 5 CPs.

Re: Write to BR14 allocated PSDS - Unitech ACR 3.3
Bruce, Here are the places where SMS writing an EOF is documented. z/OS V1R7.0 DFSMS Using Data Sets When the system allocates a new SMS data set with DSORG=PS or no DSORG, the access methods treat the data set as being null, that is, having no data. A program can safely read the data set before data has been written in it. This means the first GET or first CHECK for a READ causes the EODAD routine to be called. z/OS V1R7.0 DFSMS: Implementing System-Managed Storage For sequential data sets, SMS writes a hardware EOF at the beginning of the data set at initial allocation. This prevents data integrity problems when applications try to read the data before data is written in the data set.

You can't tell the difference from LSTAR. As for Gil's suggestion that the access method should not allow you to read past LSTAR, in the past it was not uncommon for LSTAR to be inaccurate.

DFSORT NULLOUT default (was DFSORT: SMF16 (jobs ok, stcs nok))
-Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Frank Yaeger ICETOOL doesn't have separate environments. JCL covers direct invocation of DFSORT (e.g. PGM=ICEMAN). INV covers program invocation of DFSORT. TSO and TSOINV cover TSO. ICETOOL's use of DFSORT is covered by the INV environment. The TD1-TD4 environments allow you to modify the other environments to cover time-of-day changes. Since my shop doesn't modify the DFSORT defaults, I hadn't realized what INV meant. Frank's explanation raises a question for me about the new parm NULLOUT. The fine manual states that NULLOUT can specify the return code and the action to be taken by DFSORT when there are no records for the SORTOUT data set, as indicated by the OUT count of 0 in message ICE054I. The FM goes on to state that NULLOUT does not apply when SORTOUT is not present. To me, this indicates that NULLOUT couldn't apply to a COBOL program performing a sort (or maybe even ICETOOL), though the default could be modified for the INV environment. Is that right? Or what if the COBOL program was using a DD of SORTOUT for the output data set? Would it apply then? Thanks, Greg Shirey Ben E. Keith Company Notice.Notice :Ben E.

The fine manual states that NULLOUT can specify the return code and the

data
set, as indicated by the OUT count of 0 in message ICE054I. The FM goes
on

To me, this indicates that NULLOUT couldn't apply to a COBOL program
performing a sort (or maybe even ICETOOL), though the default could be
modified for the INV environment. Is that right? Or what if the COBOL
program was using a DD of SORTOUT for the output data set? Would it
apply
then?
Note that SORTOUT is used generically to mean the regular output data set
(as opposed to an OUTFIL output data set). It actually refers to the
ddname specified or defaulted for SORTOUT=ddname. The default is SORTOUT,
but it could be another ddname. For example, when you use COPY TO(OUT) ...
for ICETOOL, the ddname for SORTOUT is OUT and INV NULLOUT applies.
NULLOUT applies whenever DFSORT is writing the SORTOUT data set. For a
COBOL sort, DFSORT writes the SORTOUT data set if FASTSRT is in effect for
the output data set. Otherwise, COBOL handles ('deletes') all of the
output with its E35 routine and DFSORT doesn't write to SORTOUT. In the
FASTSRT case, INV NULLOUT would apply because DFSORT writes the SORTOUT
data set. In the NOFASTSRT case, INV NULLOUT wouldn't apply because there
is no SORTOUT data set as far as DFSORT is concerned.
For ICETOOL, it depends on the operator. In general, if you use
TO(ddname), then INV NULLOUT applies.
Note that NULLOUT does not apply to OUTFIL output data sets, but you can
specify the NULLOFL parameter on each OUTFIL statement to apply to the
output data sets associated with that OUTFIL statement. For example, if
you had:
//TOOLIN DD *
SELECT FROM(IN) TO(OUT) ON(5,2,CH) NODUPS
/*
OUT is a SORTOUT output data set and INV NULLOUT applies.
But if you had:
//TOOLIN DD *
SELECT FROM(IN) TO(OUT) ON(5,2,CH) NODUPS USING(CTL1)
//CTL1CNTL DD *
OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,OMIT=(21,2,CH,EQ,C'AB')
/*
OUT is an OUTFIL data set and INV NULLOUT does not apply.
However, you could specify:
//TOOLIN DD *
SELECT FROM(IN) TO(OUT) ON(5,2,CH) NODUPS USING(CTL1)
//CTL1CNTL DD *
OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,OMIT=(21,2,CH,EQ,C'AB'),NULLOFL=RC16

Need Suggestions - Best Way To Ship Secure Reports from Mainframe to Users
Hi All. I have been asked by the user to come up with a way to SECURELY ship reports from the frame to the users. Right now we use XMITIP unsecured or unsecured FTP to ship them. The user stated: 1. If possible NO changes to their PCs / use of keys if possible. 2. User doesn't care if reports go to the server from the frame and then uses something secure on the PC to ship them secured ( I don't want to do it this way if possible as it moves another function off the frame). 3. Mentioned a product called VPS? 4. Basically they want some sort of security on what goes to school etc. I am a 3 person shop running OS390 V2R10 very vanilla and have never dealt with this type of issue. I am not even sure if my needs are clear. Any suggestions/ideas/where to look are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Have a Nice Day !

Re: Output class of current running SYSLOG
Yes it is possible but not using a supported interface. A couple folks
on the list pointed me to the right control blocks last year.Here is
what I provided as instruction to a fellow systems programmer to do the
change dynamically. You should of course use caution when zapping
storage so be careful and verify everything is what you expect before
altering it. These instructions are for TMONMVS but you should have no
trouble doing this with any MVS monitor.
CVT-CVTMSER--+x'68' = LOGCLS changes will be used on subsequent pseudo
close/starts due to LOGLMT.
If you alter the value of the SYSLOG class in storage in the Master
Scheduler data area it is honored on subsequent pseudo close/starts due
to LOGLMT.
It's easy enough to do with TMONMVS or a small authorized assembler
program.
