Re: CTC's VTAM

2006-07-07 Thread Chris Mason
I see my first attempt didn't make it into the archive so I'll try again.
I'm going to remove the quoted message in case some sort of combination
involving the quoted message got in the way. I think I'll also try posting
from the archive - for the first time - to see if that's going to be any
more successful.

Mark,

I'm afraid I know very little of these PC platforms emulating the S/360 and
its descendents so if I seem ignorant of and stand amazed at the hoops
through which you are jumping, please accept my apologies.

Does the system run VM on top of which sit MVS and VSE? - or does the system
mimic 3 LPARs so that each operating system runs it a separate partition?

Normally a CTC runs over a channel. I know that a CTC can be emulated using
VM and I have often used that trick. I can imagine that a CTC could be
emulated by the PC platform emulating the hardware - much as VM does I
suppose. I am amazed that the token ring card is involved but maybe that's
how the trick works in the PC platform. I have just been assisting
privately with a Hercules configuration where I have discovered that one
half of a z/OS CS IP CTC link can talk to the Windows Loopback Adapter
emulating the other half.

Note that I do not encourage the use of private conversations started in the
list/group so please keep your replies here.

If you want to use flex-defined CTCs, the answer is surely in the flex
documentation and probably the answer will also be in a flex-oriented
list/group if only because all preconceptions are destroyed when attention
is diverted to these wonderful and tricky platforms.

What I can't quite understand here is why you need advice about the VTAM
definitions when you are not - as you have described it - changing the
logical configuration as far as VTAM is concerned. Thus the definitions
should be exactly the same. The only part which may well change is the
smoke and mirrors required by the PC platform. The CDRM definitions are
even more removed from the link definitions so there is even less reason to
change these than the link definitions - which should, as I said, not need
changing at all.

After all that it's becoming clear that something in the original request
isn't perhaps as clear as it might have been. :-(

 We currently have a CTC connection between VSE  OS/390 that uses the

JES2/JES3 Difference

2006-07-07 Thread Paul Gillis

Hi,

I am trying to determine if JES2 has a similar functionality to JES3.

The JES3 inish deck allows on a SYSOUT definition the keyword 
TYPE=DSISO. This means that any spool dataset allocated with TYPE=DSISO 
is allocated its own unique track allocation table. This allows a 
dataset to be either printed or removed from the spool, and then that 
spool space returned to JES3 for other use, before the job concerned has 
terminated.


I can see that JES2 has a track allocation group but have not been able 
to determine if it has the ability to allocate a unique group for a 
specific sysout class.


Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree, but what I suspect, but have not 
yet confirmed, is that SYSLOG accumulates in the spool until JES2 is 
restarted. SDSF is only showing me a single dataset of about 60,000 
lines, but then also shows me that SYSLOG has almost 4,000,000 lines.

I don't think so.  In an SMS environment I believe the data set is

trying to allocate it on the same volume.

It will accumulate under the same STC number until restart.  But it
will separate into different output groups (that can be printed, 
purged, offloaded, written to external writer, etc.) when the LOGLMT
is reached (specified in IEASYSxx)or the WRITELOG operator command is

it as one continuous entity via the LOG command if the older logs

  Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz, SysProg and JOAT

I never use it. My reason is that when I update a file with DISP=MOD,
there is no way to __easily__ restart an abended step. In this case, to
restart, the program would need to have restart capability built into it
so that it would not process any already processed data. This could be
quite complicated. To me, it is much easier to just have a lot of GDGs
and write to the next generation. Upon restart, just scratch the bad
generation (CA-11) and go. If DISP=MOD is absolutely necessary, then I
guess an IEBGENER at the end to copy the GDG to the real dataset might
be OK. But what if the output dataset gets an SB37 due to a space
problem? How do I unwind the added records?

Of course, each cat his own rat.

cataloging dataset on 2 lpar's master catalog

2006-07-07 Thread Dennis Leong
I have a SMS managed dataset that is on master catalog that needs to be 
added to linklst and is accessed by 2 lpars.  We are sharing dasd.   I can 
only get it to catalog on one master catalog correctly.  That is, on the 
2nd master catalog the dataset does not have its sms storclas and mgmtclas 
attributes.  When I try to run an idcams alter to define the attributes I 
get the following:


IDC3194I SMS CONSTRUCT STORAGECLASS SPECIFIED FOR NON-SMS MANAGED OBJECT
IDC3194I SMS CONSTRUCT MANAGEMENTCLASS SPECIFIED FOR NON-SMS MANAGED

We are running z/os 1.4.   We have other sms datasets that are cataloged on 
both master catalogs with the correct attributes.   I do not know how these 
entries were created as sysprog who is responsible is on vacation.  My gut 
feeling is that he may have cloned one master catalog to create the other 
at one time.  I believe one of the master catalogs is a connected as a user 
catalog. To get around the problem, I have renamed the dataset so that it 
is cataloged in usercat.  Now both systems can access the dataset and have 
the correct sms attributes.  However, this means that I have to code the 
volser in the linklst entry in PROGxx which I really want to avoid.   Any 
suggestions on how I can get a SMS master cataloged dataset to be cataloged 
on both lpar master catalogs?  Thank you.

Dennis, 
 
How about sharing the master catalog between the 2 LPARs?  Then you 
wouldn't have this he said-she said game between your 2 existing master 
catalogs and the remainder of your problem would be simple.  (Sysplex it.)

I agree that's the best answer.

If the HLQ is SYS1, AMS will allow you to recatalog it in another
catalog.

That means that the FAR END, that is, the UNIX server, disconnected for
some reason. Somebody needs to look at the logs on the UNIX side to
determine why. As as example, we had this happen here once with a
Windows server when it ran out of disk space.

Re: problem with spool volume serial

No, I've just gave up. Now I'm thinking, how to convince people to cold

would be better for our naming conventions). And if they won't agree, I 
will just cut the last letter from the prefix.

Re: JES2/JES3 Difference

Gil,

To get a copy of the system log (syslog) to the output  Q type in (W

Hi,

I am trying to determine if JES2 has a similar functionality to JES3.

The JES3 inish deck allows on a SYSOUT definition the keyword  
TYPE=DSISO. This means that any spool dataset allocated with  
TYPE=DSISO is allocated its own unique track allocation table. This  
allows a dataset to be either printed or removed from the spool,  
and then that spool space returned to JES3 for other use, before  
the job concerned has terminated.


I can see that JES2 has a track allocation group but have not been  
able to determine if it has the ability to allocate a unique group  
for a specific sysout class.


Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree, but what I suspect, but have  
not yet confirmed, is that SYSLOG accumulates in the spool until  
JES2 is restarted. SDSF is only showing me a single dataset of  
about 60,000 lines, but then also shows me that SYSLOG has almost  
4,000,000 lines.

You probably did a DEFINE NONVSAM to put it in the second mastercat.  
For SMS datasets, you must include the RECATALOG operand to pick up the 
SMS data from the NVR in the VVDS, e.g,


DEFINE NONVSAM(NAME(dsname) VOL(volser) RECATALOG)

Do a DELETE NOSCRATCH to get it out of the second mastercat, then do the 
DEFINE as above.


However, not having the SMS info in the catalog is probably not a big 
issue.   The same info is stored in the NVR and I think the NVR is used 
when it is needed.  You probably don't need to fix this

Re: IOCP version problem on a 2086 (was Genning a 3745)

2006-07-07 Thread John Eells

See below.

Bruce McKnight wrote:


New info:


I must have missed the old info, sorry.  So what follows might 
not be terribly helpful.




I finally found a book with the ICP messages.

The ICP400I indicates either that the CPC does not support ICP IOCP or
the IOCP level is not correct for the CPC.  It then referred me to the
Summary of Changes.

The job output indicates that I am running Version 1 Release 1.0 and
gives me a return code of 09, which again indicates the IOCP is the
wrong version for the CPC.


There are a couple of possibilities.  What program name are you 
using for IOCP?  (As a side note, why aren't you using HCD?  Or 
are you, but getting these messages when you try to activate the 
changes using HCD?)




I'm in WAY over my head now.

The only things that have occurred since last July are
1.  The os was converted from OS/390 2.10 to z/OS 1.4


Is this the *first* I/O configuration change since then?  You DID 
get z/OS R4 with the z990 Compatibility Support or the  z990 
Exploitation Support feature, right?  Also, the PSP bucket calls 
for OA06464 if you're exploiting certain features.


snip


Questions:
1.  Could the microcode maintenance have done some upgrade to the CPC
that renders the IOCP read/write invalid?
2.  I thought the IOCP would be part of the z/OS BCP.  If not, how do I
get the version I need?


It's part of z/OS, in a separate FMID (HIO1104, if memory serves; 
definitely HIOsomething).  But it's updated (or replaced) via PTF 
from time to time.



3.  Could I offload the IOCDS to a diskette and load it via the SE like
we did when we first installed the box?


Yes.  But it's much less convenient than getting the batch 
program (or HCD!) to work in the first place.




HELP!

Much thanks in advance.  (BTW - I'm still not sure if my posts are
hitting the email part of this list.)


Your posts are going to Usenet and not to the list (which is 
shadowed on Usenet).  To get them posted to the list, you have to

Ah! that may be it. Some older UNIX filesystems, especially 32 bit

2) They ain't telling.
3) Mainframe MIPS in use is increasing

Hi,

We have a parallel sysplex environment running on a z/800. We've used
all 15 LPARs supported by the Hardware, CPU and memory are max'ed out
and we need more physical resources. If we buy another (used) z/800 (we
are also considering an upgrade to a z9 but budget is an issue), can we
have the same sysplex spread across both z/800's sharing the CPUs and
memory and use the LPARs on the new z/800 to add more systems to the
same existing sysplex? If so, what needs to happen? Can anyone point me
to any literature that I could use as a guide? Currently we have ICF
setup in 2 LPARs and two processors shared by all 15 LPARs.

Thanks very much in advance,

Tullio.

Re: Copy Unix Files to MVS datasets

2006-07-07 Thread John S. Giltner, Jr.
You can use OCOPY from a batch job, but I would suggest that you look at 
FTPS (FTP using SSL).  It is real FTP and support MVS datasets.


We implmented SFTP and are now attempting to convert our last two 
customers to FTPS.  I am sure there may be other ways, but we had to 
schedule a task via CRON to check the inbound directories every minute 
to see if a file came and and then kick of the processing.  It is not 
pretty.


Using FTPS you can use whatever you are using for normal FTP.  In fact 
you can have the same server support both SSL and non-SSL FTP sessions 
or you can force it to only accecpt SSL'ed connections.

Hello all,
we plan to replace FTP with SSH SFTP. SSH SFTP work with unix files, not MVS 
datasets.
Connection initiated by another server into the mainframe stores the file in 
a Unix HFS file.
Does anyone now work arouns to start a batch job, after the file was stored 
in Unix HFS ?.
Is OPC Trigger a possible solution ?. I'm unclear if it support Open Edition 
unix files ?.

Re: One sysplex across two z/800???

2006-07-07 Thread Gibney, Dave
   I believe the answer is no, you can't use ICF (Internal Coupling
Facility) to connect any two CECs.

   Why so many LPARs?

   z/VM and Z/OS Guests.
