Re: Running with SQA/ESQA 100% CHECK
Peter Relson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] om... Sam makes a good point. If we report on usage above 100% we should allow you to specify a value 100%. Regarding Barbara's points about the ASM and XCF checks,, We will check into them (again, I presume). The ASM check intentionally is designed on an individual data set basis. And that is why adding an additional data set has no bearing on the exception. Peter, I had the old HC under SA installed, but found it hardly useful, so I was happy to read the announcement in 1.7 (I think) that it had been improved a lot, but now it appears not to be at its final goal, so I hope user comments will be handled seriously. About your answer above: why do you check a single PGDS utilization? I think it hardly hirts when one PGDS is over some limit if the total configuration is within limit? If I remember correctly what Greg Dyke explained about PGDS selection queues and groups when discussing PGDSs on different devicetypes, the overutilized one will not be selected anymore, because of the smaller chance of finding enough contigious slots. So if the rest of the pageconfiguration is well behaving, there is in fact no problem to report on. Besides that, the question is what we can do about it, as Barbara already mentioned. And do I understand it correctly that you don't check the utilization of the entire pageconfiguration? I think that is the most important item. I just noticed this week that an extra message IRA205I has been added to notify if the Pageconfiguration is 50% full. ASM is always issuing messages about the utilization of the total pageconfiguration, so I assume that is the most important thing to monitor.

Re: ServerPac Installs and dataset allocations
George Dranes wrote: We just recently installed z/OS 1.8 using ServerPac. We then applied all of the latest RSU maintenance. I noticed many of the SYS1 datasets on our SYSRES apparently were allocated too small by ServerPac jobs. I know some may just need compressed but others such as SYS1.SHASLNKE which is a PDSE is also into 5 extents. My question is, does anyone out there try to get these allocated into one extent or do you just leave as is and not worry about it because of today's DASD?? It just gets kind of irritating when many of these datasets are obviously allocated (in blocks even) too small by the ServerPac allocate jobs. snip You can and should tell SMP/E to retry after space abends so that it will compress the data sets and try again. Also, you can quickly and easily increase the primary space allocations of all the data sets at installation time by using View and Change to display a list of all data sets (e.g., display Link List Eligible and select both Yes and No) and issuing the CH SPACE command. Now, of course, it's too late, but you might bear this in mind next time. I always viewed the choice of primary space allocation as one of balancing customer complaints about too much with customer complaints about not enough. But some time has gone by since I worked in ServerPac-land and perhaps the landscape has changed. The too much group has been pretty quiet, since we have been trying to minimize the required space for quite a while, and lately we seem to be hearing more from the not enough group. So...at this point in time, with DASD cost being what it is, volume sizes being what they are, and sysprog time being at whatever the currently prevailing premium might be, should we: a) Leave things as they are. This means that ServerPac allocations will continue to be minimized while making sure the libraries will have enough space to be loaded plus enough extra space to allow for (some) corrective service installation. This minimizes the DASD space required to install z/OS. b) Increase the primary space allocations. This will allow for the installation of preventive service (and the odd small product or two) without requiring data set reallocation. However, in many cases it will require an extra DASD volume or two for initial installation.

I like to see extra room in almost any dataset that is a heavy hitter when it comes to maint. that way I know (or with good amount of certainty ) that an IPL won't be needed. You learn after years what library(ies) will probably be hit most often and give those an extra empty space. PDSe libraries are more difficult but should be treated no differently, IMO.

Re: Running with SQA/ESQA 100% CHECK
Walt, my racfadmi is very happy with the cc12 of that check! He used to do this checking once a month himself and then give out lists on who had to do cleanup. So now it comes a lot earlier and he can tell people a lot earlier to clean up. Peter, I'll send you a private email to detail a few more points. XCF: With regard to the check I have mentioned: Either IBM gets the CFSIZER that we are supposed to use for sizing the structures to play along the same lines as the health checker or IBM gets the health checker to accept the values from the cfsizer, but not two different things! I still consider the fact that XCF itself changed the structure in such a way that it did NOT support full signalling connectivity anymore a definite bug, not something 'within the parms of the health checker'. But I have spent too much time already reporting what I consider issues to waste even more time on that. These days, I go with what the cfsizer tells me is full connectivity, and then I just delete the check. As for the number of IPLs, a few had to do with XCF and the stupid counting mechanisms that trigger the checks, and once I got one cleaned up to satisfy the numbers, another check pops up that was quiet before. In one case one of the RSM checks (one of those governed by a parm in ieasys - rsu or v=r or something only changeable via IPL) tripped or rather was seen for the first time. The colleague who saw it didn't realize that this was 'just' a health check message and would not impact the running system at all. He got called at oh:drak:30, didn't know what to do and did not change the ieasys parm. He just ordered an IPL done. Of course, the problem was still there afterwards. (Oh yes, this was a production system.) I had a devil of a time explaining what had happened, and of course, another IPL was needed to do the final cleanup that may have been done during a normal, planned IPL. All this because the health checker spit out a message. You said Therefore I conclude that you did agree with the messages, and however many IPLs it took you was what it took for you to get your system to the state it needed to be. I don't agree with that. As I said, I wanted to take advantage of a few checks (you call that Deleting or deactivating a check is less desirable than having it remain active, but active while checking for your case (which has the side benefit of alerting you if your case is unintentionally changed)., but I am unable to get them to work at all (so that I can take advantage of them) in our environment. And I do NOT think that we don't follow 'best practises', we just don't do it in the rigid confines the health checker demands.

Re: CICS Priority Question
There are no easy answers. Priority doesn't matter as much as resource consumption. If the high priority task isn't using resources, the it isn't the problem. However, without checking, I think that is a web server. Is it a CICS web frontend? If so, then it is essential to your CICS transactions. Is it an efficient frontend? We can't answer that. Several years ago, even though we had some CICS response time problems and not enough capacity, I converted to WLM and response time goals. I set some pretty aggressive goals, again without checking, I think 95% of all transactions under .5 seconds. Even then, we were meeting those goals. We have 80% trivial transactions and 20% that are resource intensive. Everything is the same transid, so I can't determine before hand which transaztions are loved ones and which aren't. My actual dispatching priority of the CICS regions went DOWN under WLM, but the goals were being met. When the huge transactions run for 60-90 seconds so be it. I presnt the cost of the upgrades needed to resolve the issue and let the business case support itself. I have limited resources, WLM lets me set goals and importance. If management says everything is important, then they are supporting unlimited upgrades. They can't have it both ways. Management always thought CPU was the solution. Even our huge, 90 second transactions used a trivial amount of CPU. I argued that even if the CPU component was 0 they wouldn't like the response time. The solution? Better DASD, (Shark ESS), more RAM for IMS DBCTL buffers and offloading TN3270 SSL. Sounds like you have one of those opportunities that can be painful.

It's a fine line for IBM trying to keep the sysres to fit on a 3390-3 (not including HFS - because many shops still don't have mod-9) and leaving some extra space. Also, I would guess based on some of my own experience with some of the libraries I ran into problems with, that even if they left say 20% free space, the link of a large module that is part of that library/product from a single PTF causes a problem. So I guess IBM could do a little better job at looking at that and for those exceptions leave more free space as distributed. Just look at the size of ISFVTBL in SISFLOAD (a library I always end up expanding after my first round of maintenance). Another thing you can do easily now is filter the data sets by LNKLST eligible and set all of them to no secondary space.

Re: JES-APPL

Then there has been a session initiation request - which can only happen over an available session path - this isn't any of your flaky IP, folks! The session initiation request has failed because the destination and secondary LU is not in an enabled state. The LU has been activated but the ACTLU response has a code which indicates disabled state. One reasonable explanation might be that the program running the NJE function in the AS/400 hasn't completed starting up. - The explanation of the sense code 083A0002 is as follows: quote Sense code 083A LU not enabled: At the time an LU-LU session initiation request is received at the SSCP, at least one of the two LUs, though having an active session with its SSCP, is not ready to accept CINIT or BIND requests. Bytes 2 and 3 following the sense code contain sense-code-specific information. ... 0002 The SLU is not enabled. /quote - Just to be complete, I even checked the JES2 message. Here are the results - it's the last of the 15 £HASP094 messages by the way and LookAt! just gives you the first which is useless: 17 - it's an OPNDST request, in other words, a session setup is being attempted 14 - means that JES2 is trying, in its words, not VTAM's, a connection sequence 1002 - is the RTNCD-FDBK2 combination short explanation: Logical unit inhibited for sessions longer explanation: You attempted to initiate a session and one of the logical units in the requested session is inhibited. The remaining codes are of no particular interest, except the LU name at the end, of course. Now this discussion started by claiming that an LU name needed changing. How might that relate to the disabled secondary LU? Incidentally it would be quite incorrect to say there is nothing wrong with the switched definition but it works so what is wrong with it[1] is incidental to the reported problem. Looking over a bit of confusion in previous posts - I hope I'll be excused characterising them so - I can make the following comments: 1. Unless the NJE application on the AS/400 has consistently been caught in the middle of being activated in some way - highly unlikely I would expect - this is not a timing problem. 2. Since the connection is necessarily in place, there is no problem with the connection - just in case a modem is involved - which, given a switched definition is used, is not impossible, but unlikely. 3. I'm not sure what online might mean. The messages tell us that the secondary LU is *active*, only it is not *enabled*. 4. Which side a connection is started affects the types of definitions used for the connection, strictly the definition of the adjacent link station, in the two platforms. However, since it is clear from the messages that a connection has been established, this is a red herring. 5. The recollection of multiple LUs may have been RJE rather than NJE. For example, if the AS/400 running RJE emulated a 3776 or 3777 MLU model, multiple LUs would have been involved. An NJE connection between JES2 and JES2, RSCS and RSCS and JES2 and RSCS required only one LU at either side. Although I'm not familiar with the AS/400 implementation of NJE, I would not expect the requirement to be different. The possibility that there might be a suitable redbook was mentioned - thanks, Mark. Going to the redbook site and searching with AS/400 and NJE gets 3 hits. The first AS/400 VM/MVS Bridge Configuration and Operations, GG24-4382-00, is the best since it involves MVS although NJE does not actually appear in the title. The second does have NJE in the title but involves POWER. Both redbooks are quite small and download in a jiffy. Given the extensive definitions present - a little bit woolly on the VTAM side and involving antique configuration features such as NCP, nevertheless - this should be adequate. I happened to notice that the Start QSNADS Subsystem (STRSBS QSNADS) command on the AS/400 side causes a NOTIFY request to flow from the secondary LU to the SSCP with the information that the secondary LU has entered the *enabled* state. Perhaps it is this command which needs to be entered. Incidentally, I see that vary on is an AS/400 thing in the context of SNA entities so maybe Ed wasn't all that far off the mark - hum, no pun intended. g --- [1] C02TCED PU IDBLK=056, IDNUM=ADAF0, IRETRY=YES, MAXDATA=4105, MAXPATH=1, ISTATUS=ACTIVE, MAXOUT=7, PASSLIM=7, PUTYPE=2, DISCNT=NO, MODETAB=LOGMLU62,DLOGMOD=LOGMLU62,

Re: ServerPac Installs and dataset allocations
There is a way in the ServerPac dialogs to globally alter the space allocations. I usually add 25-50% to the allocations. After my initial load of the datasets I compress all then reallocate as needed to minimum 50% free in a single extent. This is probably not needed but I like all my system datasets and anything in LINKLIST or LPALIST to be at least 50% free in one extent. I do not really worry if they are allocated with secondary as long as I'm not using it although for OEM LINKLIST I will allocate zero secondary.

Also, the installation dialog does not assume that volumes are SMS-managed based on volume serial. Instead, it uses a logical volume serial (not to be confused with the actual physical volume serial) to identify SMS-managed and non-SMS-managed data sets. Logical volumes are really just tags to identify groups of data sets. I always wanted to get rid of logical volumes (or at least their displays) but there wasn't an opportunity to do so while I was there, and as you can see we haven't gotten to it yet. Since the term confuses so many people, if I could go back in time, I'd name them something else (data set group name, perhaps).

Re: CICS Priority Question

The problem, sound like, the users do something, that acess the DB2 directly, and sometime, We can see one, two, three user's doing it. In this moment, the task of Web Server have more use of CPU% like show on D A command, and in this time, our command DA show CPU with 100% of utilization, and start problem to CICS transaction. I'm not expert under WLM, but will try speak with this people here. Thanks very much Sergio Rugen, Len [EMAIL PROTECTED] escreveu: There are no easy answers. Priority doesn't matter as much as resource consumption. If the high priority task isn't using resources, the it isn't the problem. However, without checking, I think that is a web server. Is it a CICS web frontend? If so, then it is essential to your CICS transactions. Is it an efficient frontend? We can't answer that. Several years ago, even though we had some CICS response time problems and not enough capacity, I converted to WLM and response time goals. I set some pretty aggressive goals, again without checking, I think 95% of all transactions under .5 seconds. Even then, we were meeting those goals. We have 80% trivial transactions and 20% that are resource intensive. Everything is the same transid, so I can't determine before hand which transaztions are loved ones and which aren't. My actual dispatching priority of the CICS regions went DOWN under WLM, but the goals were being met. When the huge transactions run for 60-90 seconds so be it. I presnt the cost of the upgrades needed to resolve the issue and let the business case support itself. I have limited resources, WLM lets me set goals and importance. If management says everything is important, then they are supporting unlimited upgrades. They can't have it both ways. Management always thought CPU was the solution. Even our huge, 90 second transactions used a trivial amount of CPU. I argued that even if the CPU component was 0 they wouldn't like the response time. The solution? Better DASD, (Shark ESS), more RAM for IMS DBCTL buffers and offloading TN3270 SSL. Sounds like you have one of those opportunities that can be painful.

Re: SMS vs. GDG Model DSCB
Len, We have had selective TMM implemented for a few years, now I've ran into a job where I can't seem to get the datasets redirected away from tape to the TMM pool. The error is the infamous IEF344I / IGD17045I space not specified. The ACS test works, but one thing is bugging me, I can't find how to feed the model DSCB for the gdg into the test. Someone ages ago setup a model GDG that almost everything uses, but this job uses a different one. I've found references on Google that say that the model DSCB can't be on sms disk, but both my working and failing ones are on SMS volumes. The do have slightly different SMS values. You are really using model dataset(s) instead of model DSCBs. You should be able to assign a dataclass to the dataset with space allocation amounts that you need if the different model does not have any primary or secondary space allocation amounts. Is it possible that a model DSCB's management class is being passed on to the new allocation? I think that would break my TMM flow in the ACS routines? Management class would not impact space allocation amounts. It is possible that you are getting a dataclas from the model dataset. You can check the dataclas on the failing model dataset to see if there are any default space allocation amounts.

Re: CA to IBM TCP conversion
Robert This whole discussion should really have been started in the IBMTCP-L list[1] rather than the IBM-MAIN list. As far as the IP component of Communications Server (CS) is concerned, in IBMTCP-L scintillate the brightest stars. In your original post you asked whether or not it was possible to run both the IP component of CS and the Interlink program together. I suppose it is possible that one or the other could take possession of a common piece of storage that both will reference in order to prevent more than one program to run and behave as an IP node. However since you have both running together, that presumably does not happen. If the interfaces controlled by one IP node connect to the same intranet as the interfaces controlled by the other IP node - or both connect to the Internet - then you need to control the inbound routing appropriately. Otherwise there cannot be a problem. What the software does in the privacy of its own address space is entirely its business and that of nobody else! If I've missed something important here I hope to be corrected. [1] For IBMTCP-L subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO IBMTCP-L - In an earlier post which I have not retained in my inbox, you were concerned about different interpretations of the socket API. That flavour of the socket API used with the transport protocols which sit on top of the IP layer is quite well-defined. In any case, what little I know/knew of Interlink was that they set themselves up as a competitive alternative to TCP/IP for MVS - as the IP component of CS used to be named. Thus any APIs *ought* to be identical. Also from an earlier post, I suppose I should be glad you happened to mention CINET. You have set up CINET presumably because you imagined that you had multiple instances of the IP component of CS - which, of course, you don't. Please reread what I just said and the following which I found as the first hit searching the CS IP Configuration Guide: quote Common INET physical file system (CINET PFS) If you wish to run multiple z/OS Communications Server TCP/IP stacks concurrently, you must use the Common INET (CINET) configuration. In this configuration, up to a maximum of eight TCP/IP stacks can be active at any time. /quote You may be sure that IBM means just the IBM-supplied software for creating the appearance of an IP node and absolutely not software from any other Tom, Dick or Harry! The point is that z/OS has features which specifically allow for multiple instances of CS IP. These show up in the BPXPRMxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB. In place of a single set of INET statements such as FILESYSTYPE TYPE(INET) ENTRYPOINT(EZBPFINI) NETWORK DOMAINNAME(AF_INET) DOMAINNUMBER(2) MAXSOCKETS(1) TYPE(INET) I expect you have something like (taken from a study I did some years back on CINET) FILESYSTYPE TYPE(CINET) ENTRYPOINT(BPXTCINT) NETWORK DOMAINNAME(AF_INET) DOMAINNUMBER(2) INADDRANYPORT(61000) INADDRANYCOUNT(4000) MAXSOCKETS(64498) TYPE(CINET) SUBFILESYSTYPE NAME(TCPIP) TYPE(CINET) ENTRYPOINT(EZBPFINI) DEFAULT SUBFILESYSTYPE NAME(TCPIPC) TYPE(CINET) ENTRYPOINT(EZBPFINI) Since I can't see the Interlink logic participating in this CINET scheme, I can't see any role for setting up your CINET environment. - Now I can get to the points that arise from this post. Assigning the same IP address to two different interfaces is possible only when the interfaces connect to two completely independent intranets. Is that your situation? I suspect it is not and so what you are proposing is forbidden. It is possible for two different LPARs to share a port on an OSA feature and a program supporting the behaviour of an IP node running in the LPAR can allocate the channel address representing the OSA port. However the OSA feature logic in the shape of the OSA address table (OAT) presumes, in effect, that the IP nodes connect to the same intranet (or the Internet) and requires different IP addresses - for the simple reason that the routing of an inbound IP packet to a particular LPAR depends on the destination IP address. This has nothing whatsoever to do with VIPAs - although you can complicate what I have just said by adding VIPAs into the mix! As for the host name, again it is the view of your systems from the outside world which matters. You can use the same host name only if, when it is represented in a name server, it is qualified with a different suffix. It is a standard feature of the name server system that a name can map to multiple IP addresses. You need only examine the gethostbyname() socket call which is the call most used to access the name server system I expect. Here the returned structure is a list of IP addresses.

Re: CA to IBM TCP Conversion
Sheila You should check you understanding of names and IP addresses. The IP address is the entity that really matters, each one associated with one interface - even if some interfaces are virtual. There is an official host name but its usage is whatever you like to make of it - in conjunction with the name server system if used. If a name is to be associated with a node and the node has multiple interfaces, necessarily the name, indirectly, is associated with the multiple IP addresses, each one of which is primarily associated with an interface. You've probably noticed we've been flogging the OSA/VIPA topic to death recently! I'm not sure Robert is quite ready for dynamic VIPAS just yet! Maybe after he has performed his conversion. Also we need to assume he has multiple LPARs ready to benefit from the wandering dynamic VIPA. I've a suspicion that when he talked about sharing an OSA between two programs behaving as IP nodes, both programs were running in the same LPAR. Because it's really a different topic, I am responding to your gethostid() point in a separate thread.

I hope the following is helpful. Can you configure 2 tcp stacks to use the same IP address and/or OSA? An OSA can be shared by multiple TCPIP stacks. An IP address can be moved between TCPIP stacks, but can only be assigned to one stack at a time. There is a redbook that has some good information on different possible configurations - SG24-5948-04 OSA-Express Implementation Guide. Can you/should you configure one host name that has multiple IP addresses assigned to it? A host name should be associated with only one IP address. However, one can have multiple IP address/host name pairs associated with one TCPIP stack. The decison on using multiple IP addresses would depend on what requirements there are for separating traffic and moving applications. For instance, VIPA separates the IP address from the hardware. Two OSAs each with their own IP address could provide redundant paths to the same VIPA on a single TCPIP stack. There are various scenarios for moving IP addresses to alternate systems with dynamic VIPA and DVIPA. A good resource is the redbook SG24-7341-00 Communications Server for z/OS V1R8 TCP/IP Implementation Volume 3: High Availability, Scalability and Performance.

Gethostid() and DB2 (was CA to IBM TCP conversion)
Sheila You raise the matter of the use of the gethostid() call by DB2. I have an ancient scar associated with gethostid() - and DB2 may have been the reason - may because my memory is failing not because the complaining software wasn't identified. In another thread recently I suggested that gethostid() is an UNIX thing which doesn't fit well into MVS. Since the matter has arisen again so shortly I thought I should take another look at the conclusions I reached 14 years ago when I put together my socket programming presentation. The description of gethostid() I found by Googling is quite consistent. It seems I paid attention to the first sentence which defined what gethostid() was supposed to be but insufficient to the second. Perhaps the manual from which I took my notes didn't bother to include the second! quote DESCRIPTION The sethostid() function establishes a 32-bit identifier for the current processor that is intended to be unique among all UNIX systems in existence. This is normally a DARPA Internet address for the local machine. This call is allowed only to the super-user and is normally performed at boot time. The gethostid() function returns the 32-bit identifier for the current processor. This function has been deprecated. /quote The last sentence is clarified a little later as follows: quote BUGS 32 bits for the identifier is too small. HISTORY The gethostid() and sethostid() syscalls appeared in 4.2BSD and were dropped in 4.4BSD. /quote Note that this is taken from a page identified as Mac OS X Man Pages but is framed by BSD Library Functions Manual and June 2, 1993. It seems that it is intended that the value returned by gethostid() is indeed one of the IP addresses associated with the IP node. Trawling the Communications Server (CS) manuals for references to the gethostid() call does rather indicate that the rationale for the PRIMARYINTERFACE statement in the PROFILE data set is in order to provide a value for the gethostid() call to return - and nothing else. The second thoughts that Berkeley System Distribution (BSD) folk had about this function happened *after* it was taken up by TCP/IP for VM, the predecessor product for TCP/IP for MVS, now the IP component of CS. If there was an user council overseeing changes to BSD and if there was an IBM representative on it, he or she must have been asleep when the voting on ditching gethostid took place. However I believe the support for use of IP by DB2 may have been implemented *after* 1993 and, had the developers been sufficiently diligent, they should have noticed that they were thinking of using a deprecated function and stayed well away from it. You said finding an explanation of the use of the gethostid() call in DB2 was difficult but I get the impression you found it. Would you please provide an URL where I can read about this? For now, I'm picking up your comment The IP address assigned to this link in the HOME statement is used to get the host name. This indicates that perhaps that DB2 needs to get a name for the IP node on which it is running. In order to do this it uses the gethostid() call and is provided with the IP address which is identified by the PRIMARYINTERFACE statement. Then it uses the gethostbyaddr() call and the returned structure points to an official host name - and, in fact, also a pointer to a list of aliases. Possibly it is in order to get at this official host name that DB2 - thinks it - needs to use the gethostid() call. I added the thinks it because - having checked my sockets presentation - wouldn't you know it? - on that same page as I describe gethostid() I find gethostname()! But I may have an explanation. What the gethostname() call does is extract the local version of the host name. What a gethostbysomething() call does is is launch a request into the resolver system. This can result in looking up the local data set which associates names and address or it can result in a request into the name server system. Definitely in the latter case, the name returned will be more official than the local version of the host name. On review of this post I realised something else - rather obvious really although that DB2 error message is plain misleading and completely puts one off the scent! It is quite impossible for the gethostid() call to fail if you have just one interface defined correctly. Just one interface necessarily provides a default for the PRIMARYINTERFACE statement and so provides a value for the gethostid() call to return. I even checked the CS IP Sockets Application Programming Interface Guide and Reference manual and, as I suspected, there are no error returns possible. However, it is possible that the *gethostbyaddr()* call could fail and it is a failure of this call which is documented by the gethostid failed I very strongly suspect. This ties in with your report that you needed to be sure that your name

Re: CA to IBM TCP Conversion
Sheila According to my reading of the Communications Server IP Configuration Reference, the TCPCONFIG default for RESTRICTLOWPORTS or UNRESTRICTLOWPORTS is the latter - which is as expected since this was the behaviour before this pair of parameters was introduced. It is, in general, good practice to specify RESTRICTLOWPORTS since this ensures that only by use of the PORT statement (or PORTRANGE I guess but that's unlikely) can you authorise use of a particular port in the 1 to 1023 range - under TCP - and you tie it to a particular job name. It used to be recommended that you retain all the PORT statement elements as specified in the provided file since that way nobody could inadvertently set up a program which used one of those ports, get away with it, maybe get it established as a vital feature of the production environment and then you discover later that you need it for the intended service function - all a bit far-fetched anyhow! In case this highly unlikely scenario seemed possible, you can now specify RESTRICTLOWPORTS, and ensure that your PORT statement specifies only the services you actually want to run today. This way you can get rid of all the unnecessary and unhelpful garbage in the PORT statement list - and you can see the trees in the wood about which you actually care! Exactly the same - substituting UDP for TCP - can be said for the same pair of parameters on the UDPCONFIG statement. It is a convention for TCP and UDP that ports 1 to 1023 are assigned to well-known server functions such as you will find listed in the equivalent of what on my PC is the C\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\services file.

Speaking of port usage, here is another tip. In the TCPIP profile, TCPCONFIG and UDPCONFIG default to restricting usage of ports 1 through 1023. So a port must be reserved for any application using anything in this range or the profile needs to have UNRESTRICTLOWPORTS coded on TCPCONFIG and UDPCONFIG. Normally this range is used by standard applications like ftp which are included in the sample profile.

ISPF Data Set List Exit Questions
The ISPF Data Set List Exit gets invoked once after the Data Set List Utility Panel is filled in and then again for each data set that is about to be displayed in the list. The first invocation provides an opportunity for the exit to change the data set name and/or the volume. The subsequent invocations allow the exit to decide if the candidate data set should actually be displayed. The parameter list for this invocation contains five parameters. The second and third are the data set name and volume as specified on the 3.4 panel. My questions are: The process stops scanning the input data set name for a match at the first blank, eliminating the need to blank out the rest of the field. When the name is passed to the exit on the first invocation, is it the entire input field or just the part that is used to perform the match? On the subsequent invocations, are the second and third parameters really as specified on the panel or do they reflect any changes made during the first invocation? -- 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: CA to IBM TCP Conversion
Robert I've send you a file which summarises the search order issue. You'll see from the end of the document that not everything was clear but this is par for the course in regard to CS IP documentation. - I have a tentative recommendation which goes as follows: - Set up a resolver procedure. You necessarily have a resolver procedure running and, if you haven't created your own, it uses a well-hidden procedure called not RESOLVER, as you might be sure it must be, but IEESYSAS, a general purpose procedure which can be used whenever a DD-statement need not be added to the EXEC statement. - Be sure to specify COMMONSEARCH in your resolver, SETUP, file. If you are using a local file for name to address translation, you can use the sensible format as defined in the CS IP Configuration Guide. section 1.5.4.4, Creating ETC.IPNODES and /etc/ipnodes. - I am assuming you don't want to be too complicated for the moment so define a client[1] data set using the GLOBALTCPIPDATA statement in your resolver, SETUP, file. Note that, when you use the GLOBALTCPIPDATA statement, all parameters which relate to using a name server necessarily reside in the specified file. This becomes important only when you start getting clever and try to concatenate this data set with another data set. - Similarly assuming you don't want to be too complicated for the moment and that you are defining name to address relationships in a local file rather than using the name server system - and you have specified COMMONSEARCH as I suggested above, you should define the name to address data set using the GLOBALIPNODES statement in your resolver, SETUP, file. You may have noticed that Sheila mentions using the DEFAULTIPNODES statement in an earlier post. This is similar to the GLOBALIPNODES statement but comes last in the search order rather than first. - That deals with the Base resolver configuration file and the Local host table. In order to keep the remaining files as simple as possible, given that you are unlikely to need to change the supplied files, simply create TCPIP.ETC.PROTO and TCPIP.ETC.SERVICES files so that they can be dynamically allocated by file name - one of the features of Communications Server (CS) IP which reveals its VM heritage. You can probably simply use the internal version of the translate table. Chris Mason [1] Client here refers to the relationship of CS IP-related address spaces, the client address spaces, which rely on the main CS IP address space, the server address space. The file is otherwise referred to as the TCPIP.DATA file which again reflects the VM heritage. - Original Message - From: Johnston, Robert E [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 11:24 PM Subject: Re: CA to IBM TCP Conversion ...

Re: SYSMDUMP in DB2 SP WLM
After further research I see that the 'corruption' is the insertion of carriage control characters. This is being done by SDSF when using line command XDC, even if the correct data set attributes are specified for the output data set. Instead, I created an appropriate data set, allocated it to some DD in my TSO session, then used SDSF's XFC line command and pointed to that DD. This copies it as is, without carriage control characters. Now it is usable. Thanks Wayne and Ed.

Re: SYSMDUMP in DB2 SP WLM
(off-list to hide my ignorance) Hello Ed, Out of curiosity, in a situation where multiple abends occurred, how does SYSMDUMP processing handle this? Does it write multiple dumps to the dataset? (I'm guessing yes because of the nature of SYSOUT storage.) We just had a situation where, in a multi-TCB address space, the customer had only SYSUDUMP. The problem was SP 0 fragmentation below the line, and unfortunately we only got SP 0 storage associated with the two TCBs that RTM decided to dump, which you can guess made things difficult for me to track down. Luckily a couple of days ago we got another dump, from another customer, with the same below-the-line storage issues, but luckily the dumped SP 0 had a lot more info. A SYSMDUMP would have come in very handy in those environments. (Now I'm fighting an internal battle between SYSMDUMP and SYSABEND. One of our support reps has some REXX programs he's written to parse SYSUDUMP/ABEND, and I'm trying to bring them into the late 1990s with IPCS and re-writing the REXX programs to do the same thing.) Also, I'll ask just because, but does Phoenix have any openings? I like what I'm doing, but there are some issues within the company that are making me wonder if it was a good thing to take this position so quickly. Thanks and best regards, Ray Mullins -- M.

Re: ServerPac Installs and dataset allocations
Mark, Do you really get your whole Sysres on one 3390-3? I had to go to 2 volumes back at OS/390 2.8, and maybe even 2.5. I know I usually spent a lot of time going over allocations and making sure there was enough space for most maintenance to go on without putting any datasets in multiple extents. As one other person suggested, I also sorted the dataset list on my Sysres packs by extents. I then compressed the datasets, and released the free extents. If data was actually in extents after compressing, I reallocated the dataset with more primary space. I used to run an FDR job occasionally. FDR allows you to specify the sequence of the datasets on a restore job. I put the heavily hit loadlibs such as SYS1.LINKLIB on one side of the VTOC, and the ISPF libraries on the other side of the VTOC. With todays heavily cached dasd, that probably will buy you very little anymore.

Re: Can't find Page Volume
Actually, I was wondering if he did a CLPA at the IPL. Without it, the system would look for everything as it was the last time it was running. Of course, if it cannot find any of the page datasets anywhere, then it should ask the operator to specify them. That should force the CLPA option if the new ones are truly empty. So at this time, I would pull a LISTCAT of the page data set entries in the catalog and see what they say. Also make sure the catalog being used is the one you want to use.

Re: Can't find Page Volume
I'd recommend re-checking the volume definitions for the master catalog your are trying to use, just to verify that everything looks good with the PAGE datasets. Then re-verify your correct LOAD parm address and LOADxx member, and be sure you're not using a different SYSx.IPLPARM than you think you are. After this, I would recheck your IODF file, and make sure you are using the one you think you are. This probably is the issue (wrong IODF)... Also check you are using the correct master catalog in your LOADxx member. You can change your LOADPARM to give more messages (don't remember which letter), and this might give more diagnostic info. Also, you might try putting CLPA in your IEASYSxx member and give it a shot. This should not correct this issue, but it might be worth a try. Normally when I recreate a system I create the page datasets with different first two qualifiers (say PAGE.TST1) on our production system, and then I MERGECAT these entries over to my target test system master using MERGECAT LEVEL. This usually insures that I have the page datasets created correctly. I know when I've tried to muck with PAGE datasets in the past using STEPCAT, etc..., I've run into quirky issues like this, and it's cleaner to define and then move the catalog entries. C.

Using gskkyman to utilize a real CA
I have a very good documented process for using gskkyman to create a self signed certificate which out TN3270 and FTP servers use. We haven't had problems with it until we wanted to use TLS to transfer a file from one mainframe to another. Most FTP clients have an option telling them what to do if they can't validate the certificate, and we have to set to use it anyway. However, the mainframe FTP client doesn't have that option, so it won't transfer the files. Hence, I am going to try a real certificate from verisign. I went into gskkyman and created a new database, and a certificate request. I sent that request to verisign and received a cert. I loaded that cert into the HFS but can't get it loaded into the key ring. I get messages like: Unable to import certificate. Status 0x03353024 - Issuer certificate not found. Or Label is not unique in request and key databases. When I try the various options. I am so close, but wondering what steps I missed.
