Re: IEFBR14 and the bar [was:RE: Writing 23FDs]
Bottom line is that code can run above the bar if you put it there yourself and if that code never gets interrupted, as z/OS interrupt handler save areas are not yet enhanced for the larger registers, PSW, etc. The only thing that is not properly saved is the PSW. The registers are properly saved/restored (and have to since code may be running AMODE64). The 128-bit PSW is crunched into a 64-bit OLDPSW are. This is why you can't survive an interrupt when your code runs above the bar. The high- order 32 bits of the NSI are lost. I bet an IEFBR14 would work, since it just might finish executing before any interrupt occurred, but that's always a gamble. It's a z/OS restriction, only. I once ran a small piece of code above the bar. It ran happily to the first interrupt :-) -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse -- 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

HC (IBMCNZ,CNZ_CONSOLE_MSCOPE_AND_ROUTCODE)
Hello there, this is a minor issue, but I still want to understand what's wrong with what HC says. We have three z/OS.e 1.7 LPARs in basic Sysplex. HC complains that : 'CNZHF0003I One or more consoles are configured with a combination of message scope and routing code values that are not reasonable.' The console which caused this low check severity to be issued is our Sysplex Master console, which I purposely defined with MSCOPE=*ALL and route codes (1-10,12-128). What's wrong with this ? I did the definitions a long time ago, so it might be that some guidelines or best practice are outdated. I thought a Sysplex master console *should* have MSCOPE=*ALL and its route code 1-10,12-128 were more than appropriate. HC has a different opinion, though. Anyone can shed some light on this ?

Re: HC (IBMCNZ,CNZ_CONSOLE_MSCOPE_AND_ROUTCODE)
Walter, I thought a Sysplex master console *should* have MSCOPE=*ALL and its route code 1-10,12-128 were more than appropriate. HC has a different opinion, though. Actually, *that* check says: Checks that each MCS/SMCS/EMCS console is not defined with multi-system message scopes AND receiving all routing codes (or all except routing code 11). If you need to have rc 17-128 going to that console, try changing the mscope from *ALL to naming the systems individually, ie. if your sysplex contains of sysa,sysb,sysc,sysd, then vary that console an mscope of sysa,sysb,sysc,sysd instead of *all. That might stop HC from complaining. To be fair, sending too many messages across a plex can generate a lot of XCF traffic. We have ours now defined to only receive rc 1-16 except 11. HC probably checks as 'reasonable' what would be sent to an autoactivated console (I am almost sure that rc17-128 are not in that range). Our *All console only receives rc13 these days (which I have to set via mpfexit on a message-by-message basis). Regards, Barbara -- Pt! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?

In a message dated 9/26/2007 10:21:58 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Wouldn't it depend on home many DD's were defined and the location of the datasets? My first post said that (in z/OS) you can't execute any code above the bar unless you move it there yourself. That means that you cannot have an executable step such as //STEP5 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 with DD statements in that step and expect z/OS to run the IEFBR14 program for this step above the bar. You have to do a LOAD of the load module, acquire some storage above the bar, move the load module to the area just acquired above the bar, then call that code somehow (via BALR, e.g.). Since you are doing all this yourself, presumably your code is also processing DD statements somehow. The old trick of allocating vol specific temp dsn to turn on DIRF bit still work?

Re: HC (IBMCNZ,CNZ_CONSOLE_MSCOPE_AND_ROUTCODE)
- Original Message From: Barbara Nitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Actually, *that* check says: Checks that each MCS/SMCS/EMCS console is not defined with multi-system message scopes AND receiving all routing codes (or all except routing code 11). Correct. The only console in the sysplex which satisfies both conditions is the Sysplex Master, all others have MSCOPE(*). Of course I can try to change the route code of the former setting 1-16 except 11. Since the meaning of the Sysplex Master was/is to be a sort of central point of control for the plex, I thought there wasn't anything wrong with MSCOPE=*ALL and ROUTCDE=1-10,12-128 for this console only. To be fair, sending too many messages across a plex can generate a lot of XCF traffic. We have ours now defined to only receive rc 1-16 except 11.

Re: Netview SA
A simpler way to do this is to just edit the SA message table to trap
your messages and execute whatever commands or clist you want.
In this case, CICS DFH* msgs are trapped and the clist KIXDOFEM is
executed by auto operator AUTCINT.
IF (MSGID='DFHAP0001' | MSGID='DFHSM0103') TEXT=MESSAGE
MSGGDATE=DATE MSGGTIME=TIME
THEN EXEC(CMD('KIXDOFEM ' DATE TIME MESSAGE) ROUTE(ONE AUTCINT))
DISPLAY(Y) BEEP(N) HOLD(N) NETLOG(Y) SYSLOG(Y)
CONTINUE(Y);
IF (MSGID='DFHSM0131' | MSGID='DFHSM0133') TEXT=MESSAGE

THEN EXEC(CMD('KIXDOFEM ' DATE TIME MESSAGE) ROUTE(ONE AUTCINT))
DISPLAY(Y) BEEP(N) HOLD(N) NETLOG(Y) SYSLOG(Y)

The clist can extract the msg with

Changing the VTOC to nonindexed, zapping on the DIRF bit (after manually figuring out what to do with data extents--what to keep and what to delete--and perhaps salvaging some data by adding a new F1DSCB with superzap) allocating a data set, and converting the VTOC back to indexed used to be the way to fix corrupted VTOCs. DSF's REFVTOC has thankfully replaced the need to muck about with zap and DIRF, but of course any overlapping data extents still need to be fixed by a person who knows what (if anything) to try to salvage and which data seems more likely to be valid. It's worth noting that making sure all your shared DASD is defined as shared in HCD pretty much eliminates the need to worry about any of this unless DADSM code abends or the system fails in the midst of a VTOC update--both pretty rare events nowadays. Thus far I have consistently lost the argument about removing the possibility of defining unshared DASD, but maybe someday I'll win it... -- John Eells z/OS Technical Marketing IBM Poughkeepsie [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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: Writing 23FDs
Raymond Noal wrote: Dear List: An IBM 4361 Model Group 5 had the ECPS feature - Extended Control Program Support (ECPS) -- offers VSE mode, VM/370 mode, and MVS/370 mode. These modes provide microcode assists that make the system control programs operate more efficiently. ECPS was originally done for virgil/tully (370 138/148). basically portions of kernel/nucleus pathlengths were implemented in microcode. a new instruction was defined each of these (moved) pathlength snippets ... and placed in front of the corresponding kernel instructions. The parameter list for the new instruction included address(es) of where the microcode was to resume in the standard code. here is old post that details what portions of the vm370 kernel were identified for movement into microcode http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/94.html#21 370 ECPS VM microcode assist the issue was that low-end and mid-range 370 machines were vertical microcode to implement 370 instruction set ... and there was typically an avg ratio of 10:1 (microcode instructions to 370 instructions) ... this avg. ratio has also been found by some of the more recent 370 emulators on i86 platforms. For virgil/tully we were given that there was approx. 6k of microcode instruction space available ... and typical kernel instruction would translate approx. 1:1 into microcode (6k bytes of kernel 370 instructions translates into approx. 6k bytes of microcode). So the identification activity was to identity the 6k bytes of vm370 kernel code that were the highest used pathlengths. There was also an ipl/boot sequence that identified whether it was running on an ECPS machine ... and if not, it had a table of all ECPS instruction in the kernel which it would overlay with no-ops (allowing the same kernel to execute on both ECPS machines and non-ECPS machines). Note, for vm370, vm microcode assist (VMA) had previously been implemented on 370/158. This were specific, high-use, supervisor state instructions that normally interrupted into the vm370 kernel for simulation. A new mode was defined for the machine which was virtual machine supervisor state ... and the machine microcode was changed to directly execute the supervisor state instruction using virtual machine rules ... w/o having to interrupt into the vm370 kernel. As part of the virgil/tully ECPS effort, there was also implementation of the VMA supervisor instructions, as well as additional supervisor state instructions not in the original VMA implementation. Later there was an ECPS-like effort done for the 3033 for MVS. There were some difference between the 3033 MVS changes and the virgil/tully vm370 implementation. * the new MVS would only run on machines with the MVS microcode enhancement and wouldn't run on machines w/o the feature * 3033 was a horizontal microcode machine where the ratio of microcode instructions to 370 instructions was nearly 1:1 ... aka there was little or no performance difference between the 370 instruction implementation and the microcode implementation (this characteristic continued on later high-end machines) later, in the 4331/4341 time-frame ... there was some effort to retrofit the mvs ecps change to 4341s ... allowing latest release of mvs to operate on 4341 machines. there was lots of contention over the value of doing this since 4341 was barely powerful enough to support any kind of mvs thruput and 4331 was quite a bit below that threshold (so i can't be positive, but i'm pretty sure that the mvs ecps feature was ever retrofitted to 4331 ... although it was eventually made available on 4341). somewhat 4361 topic drift the 3081 had a service processor which ran off a 3310 fba disk. part of the issue was that field service had a requirement that it could perform bootstrap field diagnostics starting with a scope. this was no longer possible for the 3081 ... so a service processor was added that had the capability of diagnosing 3081 hardware ... and it was possible for field service to do diagnostic field bootstrap starting with scope on the service processor. the service processor function was getting more and more complex, and so it was decided that for 3090, it would use a 4331 running a highly customized version of vm370 release 6 ... and all service processor menu screens implemented in cms ios3270. before 3090 first customer ship, the service processor was upgraded to a pair of 4361s (running vm370 and cms with menu screens implemented in cms ios3270). having a pair of redundant 4361s eliminated the requirement for field service to bootstrap diagnose 4361s ... since they could just switch to the other 4361 machine for diagnosing the 3090 (if there was 4361 failure). misc. past posts mentioning service processor operation http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/96.html#41 IBM 4361 CPU technology http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/99.html#61 Living legends http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/99.html#62 Living legends http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/99.html#108 IBM 9020 computers used by FAA

Re: Netview SA
Eileen
Please! - simpler?
Arun is new to automation and he/she is trying, as far as I can judge
since it is something with which I have never worked - but is supported by
your response, to use a technique for building message automation table
(MAT) entries.
It was indeed my reaction to his/her post that he/she should create his/her
own MAT entry - assuming that's what these panels were doing.
The example with which you have provided him/her is not exactly simplicity
itself. It relies on some sophistry of which only hardened users of the MAT
are capable.
How, I wonder, without some sort of explanation, is he/she going to know how
the DATE TIME and MESSAGE variables - for that's what they are - are
determined?
Let me have a try:
IF (MSGID='DFHAP0001' | MSGID='DFHSM0103') TEXT=MESSAGE
MSGGDATE=DATE MSGGTIME=TIME
THEN EXEC(CMD('KIXDOFEM ' DATE TIME MESSAGE) ROUTE(ONE AUTCINT))
DISPLAY(Y) BEEP(N) HOLD(N) NETLOG(Y) SYSLOG(Y)
CONTINUE(Y);
means that
if the message id is DFHAP0001 or DFHSM0103
and the text of the message is the same as the variable MESSAGE which is now
assigned to be the text of the message - so, obviously, it will be the same
and the message time is the same as the variable TIME which is now assigned
to be the time of the message - so, obviously, it will be the same
and the message date is the same as the variable DATE which is now assigned
to be the date of the message - so, obviously, it will be the same
then execute the command KIXDOFEM concatenated with the date of the message,
the variable DATE, and the time of the message, the variable TIME, and the
text of the message, the variable MESSAGE,
and route the message to the single operator AUTCINT with all the properties
set as indicated.
Obviously my explanation has lost some precision but it helps to know how
the variable assignment happens - and how bogus the variable assignment is
as a comparison!
This variable assignment trick - and I hope I got it right - needs some
getting used to - even if it was invented 25 years ago.
It was about 25 years ago that I found myself in a restaurant in Vance near
Nice, France, enjoying a nouvelle cuisine dinner with a sorbet between just
about every miniscule course of 10 or so, a surprising experience for me,
not repeated. The other surprise of that meal was the confession - there is
no better word - that one of my companions was the developer who invented
this trick!

A simpler way to do this is to just edit the SA message table to trap
your messages and execute whatever commands or clist you want.
In this case, CICS DFH* msgs are trapped and the clist KIXDOFEM is
executed by auto operator AUTCINT.
IF (MSGID='DFHAP0001' | MSGID='DFHSM0103') TEXT=MESSAGE
MSGGDATE=DATE MSGGTIME=TIME
THEN EXEC(CMD('KIXDOFEM ' DATE TIME MESSAGE) ROUTE(ONE AUTCINT))

THEN EXEC(CMD('KIXDOFEM ' DATE TIME MESSAGE) ROUTE(ONE AUTCINT))
DISPLAY(Y) BEEP(N) HOLD(N) NETLOG(Y) SYSLOG(Y)
CONTINUE(Y);
The clist can extract the msg with
GETMLINE commands. this reads lines 2,3 4 of the msg and then the 4th
line is parsed and processed.

Re: Netview SA
Actually, i did not even know that you can generate messages using the method that was listed. I just do the CICS automation around here and other people do the heavy stuff. However, we did not even start using the SA panels until we were forced into it in release 2 (or maybe 1.3) - we just copied and coded the macros and things were alot simpler. Nevertheless, the message table entries i used were basically copied from examples in one of the SA manuals and the supplied samples - i just had to plug in my message ids and clist name. The 'DATE,TIME,MESSAGE' Parms you are referring to are just system supplied variables that are being passed to the clist. MESSAGE i believe is the first line of the message text - additional lines have to be obtained with GETMLINE. Again, this method is simpler for me to use since i can just copy one msg from another and control the processing with a clist - but it is good to know about the message generator as well. The commands: AUTOMSG MEMBER=tablename,SWAP (or TEST) can be used to load and test the new msg table. -- 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: IEFBR14 and the bar [was:RE: Writing 23FDs]
--snip--- The DIRF (DADSM Interrupt Recording Facility) bit was once (and is likely still) turned on prior to every DADSM VTOC update and turned off after completion. If a new data set allocation happened and the bit was on, DFP would rebuild the F5DSCB (free space) chain for a nonindexed VTOC. Changing the VTOC to nonindexed, zapping on the DIRF bit (after manually figuring out what to do with data extents--what to keep and what to delete--and perhaps salvaging some data by adding a new F1DSCB with superzap) allocating a data set, and converting the VTOC back to indexed used to be the way to fix corrupted VTOCs. DSF's REFVTOC has thankfully replaced the need to muck about with zap and DIRF, but of course any overlapping data extents still need to be fixed by a person who knows what (if anything) to try to salvage and which data seems more likely to be valid. It's worth noting that making sure all your shared DASD is defined as shared in HCD pretty much eliminates the need to worry about any of this unless DADSM code abends or the system fails in the midst of a VTOC update--both pretty rare events nowadays. Thus far I have consistently lost the argument about removing the possibility of defining unshared DASD, but maybe someday I'll win it... ---unsnip--- We once had a OEM allocation product that occaisionally resulted in a dataset overlap. Here's how we'd deal with the overlap. 1. Turn off the vtoc index. 2. Map the volume, in track order, to locate the overlap. We usually used MAPDISK for this, but FILE-AID would also do it. 3. Find the appropriate FORMAT-1 DSCB's, using IEHLIST LISTVTOC DUMP. Also locate any related FORMAT-3 DSCB's. 4. ZAP all the DSCB's involved to zeros, using ABSTR addresses. Also set the DIRF bit ON in the FORMAT-4 DSCB. 5. Allocate a dummy dataset with DISP=(,DELETE,DELETE) to force rebuilding of the FORMAT-5 DSCB chain. 6. Re-index the VTOC. Eventually, we dumped the product; we couldn't prove it was the culprit but all volumes were always defined SHARED and IBM assured us that their code had no known issues of this nature. Going to SMS saved us a bundle of bucks in DASD management tools.

Flashcopy on DS6800
We installed a DS6800 to replace our Shark F20 a few weeks ago. We are happy with the change overall and have seen good improvements in batch times. However, we do have an issue with the Flashcopy. On the F20 we did a nightly FDRABR flashcopy with parameter FCOPY=COPY of about 64 3390-9 and about 15 3390-3 volumes. Our tapes are old and slow, and it was time consuming to back this all up for DR, so we did a second flash copy using DFDSS that would invoke flash copy services. Those volumes would remain offline, only being used for backups. We we then did FDRBACKUP of the flashed volumes, and brought them online for our TESTLPAR. We now do a similar process on the DS6800. We do 2 flashes, 1 using FDRFLASH with FCOPY=COPY to make full copies to be used by our TESTLPAR. The second is FDRABR with the FCOPY=COPY and these are used for our FDR disaster backups. The # of drives that are being copied with FCOPY=COPY are equal or less on the DS6800. We saw no performance hit when doing this on the SHARK F20. We are having terrible response on the DS6800 for about 2 hours after the flashcopy completes. After reviewing with IBM, we made a few adjustments when we learned about half the volumes were being copied to targets in the same extent pool as the source. We switched our target volumes to extent pools different from the source volumes, and also validated that the target and source for each flashed volume are managed by the same controller. This seemed to have little effect. What are considering switching to this process: Do 2 flash copies, 1 with FDRFLASH with FCOPY=NOCOPY and a second with FDRABR with FCOPY=NOCOPY. We will then bring the first copy online to the test LPAR and the second will be used just for FDR disaster backups. The first copy will be repeated once a week (or on demnad), all other days during the week we will do just the FDRABR copy for disaster purposes. We are wondering if the same process works differently on the Shark v. the 6800. Does anyone else use flashcopy for TESTLPAR data? If so, are you using FULLCOPY, NOCOPY or incremental flashing. Any comments on the process we are using or the one we propose to change to? Is there any issue in maintaining a flash pair for a week or to without using FCOPY=COPY ? Would appreciate any comments. -- 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: Top Secret to RACF conversion.
I've done 11 of these in the past 2 years, it's mostly straight-forward and so long as you plan it well, and make sure that you test, it should go very smoothly. Typically, it takes about a month to perform the conversion. The only really big problems I have run into were when there was user code that worked directly with TS. Feel free to contact me off-line if you need help.

TJ MAx Settlement Shows Why Compliance Isn't Taken Seriously
September 25, 2007 TJX Settlement Shows Why Compliance Isn't Taken Seriously At the beginning of the year, the TJX data breach was making headlines. People were incensed about the massive amount of data lost (46 million individual records) and the length of time that had elapsed since the initial breach (upwards of three years). Legislatures at all levels of government moved to enact laws on a similar scale to PCI to ensure the cardholder data of their constituents was protected (it is an election year coming up after all). Banks and consumers lined up to take TJX to court. Surely, they were destined to be the poster child for taking security and compliance seriously. Until a week ago Friday, when TJX settled all of its consumer lawsuits. Here is a commentary on the settlement from Evan Schuman's StorefrontBacktalk post of September 22nd: TJX has settled all of the consumer lawsuits resulting from the breach by paying $6.5 million in attorney fees and offering consumers some programs aimed at compensating those directly impacted. The details from the full text of the 44-page TJX settlement filing show the $17 billion retailer's attempts to address consumer injuries. But given the huge scale of this breach, the compensation to any one consumer is likely to be minimal. TJX has agreed to compensate consumers for any time they lost as a result of the intrusion, but those calculations will assume a rate of $10/hour. The compensation also seems to be limited to $60 and will be in the form of $30 vouchers for making purchases at TJX only. Further, if a lot of consumers agree and the total of such claims exceeds $7 million, the dollar amount of each voucher will be proportionately reduced. As Schuman commented with considerable skepticism in a companion post, Let's me see if I understand this correctly. Due to apparently recklessly weak security procedures, consumers that you invited into your stores had their credit card information and identities taken, all because they chose to buy your merchandise. How to make amends? Invite them back to bring their new credit card and buy more stuff, with a 15 percent discount. Who was negotiating this settlement for the consumers? A major shareholder in TJX? Consumers are partly to blame for all of this too. You'd think with such a heavily-publicized breach of personal information that people would be going out of their way to avoid shopping at TJX properties like TJ Maxx and Marshall's. Nope. TJX is actually enjoying a healthy 8% increase in revenue over 2006 according to industry reports. Can you imagine? With this settlement, TJX could actually achieve even higher revenue numbers. Corporate executives could be in line for performance bonuses...and the breach could have helped to get them there! It's no wonder so many companies are slow to take compliance initiatives around information security seriously.
