Re: Automatic LRECL in JCL
[snip]. I think that all high level languages do the same. And even your low level language programs, such as High Level Assembler ;-) would not normally require RECFM and LRECL in JCL. The program is coded to handle records of specific format and length, so RECFM and LRECL are coded in the DCB. Exceptions are, of course, programs flexible enough to handle various formats and lengths. -- Peter Hunkeler Creidt 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
Re: GETMAIN/FREEMAIN and virtual storage backing up
After a successful GETMAIN request, I will get a virtual storage area to Is that area supported by either real storage or auxiliary storage as soon as the GETMAIN completes? This is where PIC 10/11 enter the scene: You got your virtual storage but it is not yet associated with any real storage. When your code references any address in that range for the first time, DAT will fail to translate the virtual address and will signal a PIC 10 or 11 (as explained in my previous post). z/OS gets control, validates your request using the VSM control blocks, and if it is valid (i.e. your trying to access GETMAINed storage), a real storage frame will be assigned, your instruction is repeated and will succeed. (No auxiliary storage involved so far.) 1. I once read in the list that 'if you GETMAIN a two large area and as soon as you begin to access it, it will cause a heavy usage of auxiliary storage.' Auxiliary storage is only used when the real storage is not large enough to handle all request from running code. The real storage manager (RSM) tries to keep a certain amount of real frames available to respond to requests for a real frame (e.g. to fulfill first time reference requests as described above). If the stock of available frame drops below a certain level, RSM tries to refill it. It will ask the auxiliary storage manager (ASM) to copy the least recently used frames to auxiliary storage slots (i.e. copy the 4KB of data to a page data set), RSM can then put these real storage frames onto the available frame queue. The page table entry has to be updated correspondingly, so that DAT will fail translating any address in those 4KB ranges, should some code reference that storage at a later time. When this happens, a PIC 11 will result but this time z/OS will not assign a new frame but will recognize the data is out on the page data set. ASM is asked to read the data back into a real storage frame and RSM updates the page table, and finally re-drives the failing instruction. So, you statement is true *if* your program is accessing all of that large area (or at least a single byte every 4KB) *and* RSM does not have enough real storage available. RSM and ASM will be busy to replenish the available frame queue to make frames available for your program. In today's systems this is much less likely, since there is much more real storage in the machines than a decade ago. -unsnip- No. ASM and RSM will work together to provide storage on a page-by-page basis as you use it, based on the contents of the VSM control blocks that describe the storage. If and when you exceed the boundaries described by the VSM blocks, you'll get ABENDed. -snip- To be precise here: You'll get an abend only if you're accessing an address in a 4KB area where nothing has been GETMAINed at all. Even if you GETMAIN only 400 bytes, the system will still allocate 4KB of real storage once you access any byte in the GETMAINed area. If you reference any address outside the 400 byte area but still within the same 4KB range, you will not notice that. Well, your program reads invalid data or overwrites some storage unintentionally and some code may abend but its not the system abending your code because of referencing invalid (i.e. non-GETMAINed) storage). 2. There is an example in an assembler language book which is about the usage of PGRLSE: Release the area GETMAINed using PGRLSE and then you can still access it. As might be clear now, PGRLSE asks RSM to disassociate the real frame from the given virtual address. VSM is not involved, so the area is still GETMAINed and the next reference is a first time reference, so a new frame will be associated again. How will the OS handle it? If the area has been GETMAINed, OS will allocate it in the unit of segment: back it up using either real or auxiliary storage. Storage management is done in 4KB units (aka pages). A segment is 1MB. So GETMAIN/FREEMAIN has no direct relation to virtual storage backing up: when you GETMAIN, it doesn't mean OS will try to back up that area and FREEMAIN doesn't mean that area will be released like what PGRLSE does. While GETMAIN does not immediately associate real storage, FREEMAIN does disassociate and free any associated real storage and all slots on page data sets if any of the pages have been paged out. -- 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

Re: Logical PRocessor assignment - Processor Weight
1. You need to cap the LPAR at the 200 MIP level. (on the panel I believe it's a check box under Initial Capping) If you have 2 LPARs on a 1000 MIP machine, for example, and all CPs are shared, you could weight the capped LPAR at 20 and the other at 80. (20/100=.2, .2*1000=200) 2. Yes, it can be changed dynamically. This is a simple explanation...apply it carefully to your environment!

Setting Weights on LPARs
I am trying to understand how weights work with LPARs. We have 1 z890 with 2 LPARS (prod and test) We set the weights to 65/35 for Prod vs. Test Our DBAs said to raise it to 75/25 so that PROD would get more steam. We only have 3 engines They said when we did that it got better. Does changing the weights from 65/35 to 75/25 in favor of PROD actually make that much difference? This is not a hard cap. We are using the HMC to set this up. I have a couple of performance papers I have been reading (z9 Performance Tuning Redbook). However, I am not seeing how this is significant. Our TEST LPAR has the basic DB2, testing, verification, Qual check out and major TSO and application development workload. Our PROD LPAR has just the production work for DB2. We know our real memory is tight so we added a little more to it this weekend. Our DB2 environment in PROD is Data Sharing. Therefore, there is another physical CPU (z9) with 3 LPARs (PROD, TEST, and SYSPROG) The two PROD boxes each have Data Sharing members on them for our 2 Production DB2s. We share dasd between all 5 LPARs. Hypothesis: If I reset the weights on my 2 LPAR box to 60/40 or 75/25 what would I see. What reports would help me see if this is doing any good? I have MXG and SAS. I can also run RMFPP. I have not really gotten into performance tuning on this level so I need to try and find the reports that will help me understand this picture better.

Re: Logical PRocessor assignment - Processor Weight
Correct. I was just using the environment presented and assuming all LPARs were IPLed. But if the smaller LPAR is capped I don't think it will exceed the cap, regardless of what else is going on.

Re: High Water Mark for a HLQ
Posted by Ed Gould: My experience with Kommand is rather dated. But when I knew it it was nothing more than one or two smf exits and a few cobol programs which seem to blow up about weekly. At the time it had no DASD space accounting. Ed: Admittedly my experience with Kommand is dated also. It's about 6 years old. However, when I worked for a company that used it, the product had an SVC with it. This SVC trapped every request that would cause a change in a dataset's size such as new allocation, deletion, and space extension or release. It would then cut an SMF record indicating what was done and the amount of DASD space involved. When you first installed the product you would run a utility that cut the initial SMF records showing all the space allocated by datasets at that point in time. After that you just kept track of the changes based on the SMF records. I felt it worked fairly well.

Re: Setting Weights on LPARs
Changing the weight from 65 to 75 (in your particular environment) increased the available MIPS to the PROD LPAR by 15%: (75-65)/65=15.3% Another simple example: if you have 1000 MIPS, your Prod LPAR went from 650 to 750 MIPS, which is not an insignificant change. Conversely, the test LPAR went from 350 to 250 MIPS. If you are not capping, both LPARs have access to MIPS that the other LPAR is not using. The weights come into play when things get busy. You can measure this by comparing things like TSO performance, batch turnaround times, online response time, and by how loud the complaints are (if any). MXG will give you info on all of that except for the complaints. For those you're on your own.

Re: GETMAIN/FREEMAIN and virtual storage backing up
While GETMAIN does not immediately associate real storage, FREEMAIN does disassociate and free any associated real storage and all slots on page data sets if any of the pages have been paged out. I guess only those complete pages will be released? Like what PGRLSE does. My fault. This was not precise enough. You are correct in that only completely free pages will be released. I used to think that VSM will defer the 'release' of the FREEMAINed area so it can re-use the same area to satisfy subsequent GETMAINs. Just my imagination :) Ok, I thought I'll have to dig into a bit more sooner or later. VSM manages virtual storage in 8 byte units, i.e. GETMAIN and FREEMAIN are done in 8 byte increments. When you request some x bytes storage, GETMAIN will round up to the next 8 byte boundary, say x+. It will when search its inventory of allocated, i.e. GETMAINed storage to see if there is a 4KB area (a page) where not all of the 4KB are allocated. If it finds one and the free area within that page is at least x+ bytes, then it will use that page and assign that address to your request. If it does not find a free area large enough, it will look for the next 4KB are (page) of unallocate storage, allocate your x+ bytes from it and puts the remaing bytes on the free bytes list. If you later FREEMAIN those x bytes, FREEMAIN will round up so the x becomes x+ again. It will but those x+ bytes to the free bytes list, so that storage could be used for another GETMAIN request *unless* these were the last allocated bytes in the whole page (4KB). If the latter was the case FREEMAIN will release the real/aux storagea and put the page back on the unallocated storage list. This mechanism of sharing a single page for multiple GETMAIN request is the reason you may or may not abend with a S0C4 if you try to access storage that you did not GETMAIN. You might end up accessing some bytes within the same 4KB area as your allocated storage. That's the bad situation, your program does not immediately abend but might behave strangely late on.

problem with automatic handling of message IEC534D
Hi listers, I have a customer who has no tape management system. He preloads 6 tapes on his 3590 loader. The first backup job runs normally and uses 2 tapes. The third tape is for possible data growth. Now the second job starts, but because there is currently the third tape mounted, which is wrong for the second job it issues the message IEC534D twice, once as WTO and afterwards as WTOR. The MPFXTALL erroneously replies M only to the WTO and the job stops with the WTOR. The fourth tape would be the correct one for the second job. Is there a way to solve it with out rexx programming, so that the wrong tape unloads and the correct tape is loaded.

Re: GETMAIN/FREEMAIN and virtual storage backing up
But it can still be divided into two situations: 1. No real frame, no auxiliary slot 2. No real frame but has auxiliary slot assigned. Right. If the request is valid, i.e. VSM says the storage is allocated case 1.) means this is a first time reference. Case 2.) means the real fram has been stolen and the content of the page moved to the aux slot. In case 1.) RSM does not involve ASM and simply assigns one of the availabel frames. In case 2.) RSM selects an available frame and asks ASM to read the page from the slot into the specifed frame, therafter, the virtual storage is associated with the frame. Note that the slot is not freed, since RSM might decide to steal that same frame again. If the content has not changed since, the content of the slot is still valid and the physical movement can be avoided. -- 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

Our B18 is actually so old that it did not come with EHPO and we had IBM put it on at a later date. This thing could go right to the museum after we're done here end of November. I've ranted on the B18 in the past as we've had our share of problems, some self-inflicted. Curious, do you know the size of the TVC?

An immediate consequence was that radio station WWWV which had previously announced Eastern Standard Time changed to announcing UTC to avoid the otherwise inevitable confusion. IMHO, we should either a) make all time-telling devices adjust themselves automatically -- with some way to keep up with the local policy changes that will inevitably occur from time-to-time -- like mainframes do when synchronized with an ETR (notice the on-topic reference!) -- or b) just *permanently * set the time half-way between Standard and Daylight Time and call it even! Expanding on (a), a paradigm shift is required. We must cease thinking of a time change as a semiannual event requiring, e.g., updating a field in the CVT. Rather we must think of an algorithm for each locale which converts any TOD value, either present or historical, to the correct local time. Such an algorithm would not be changed for the predictable semiannual perceived events, but be changed only for the unpredictable local policy changes. -- gil -- 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

Eastern Time for them is not the same as Eastern Time in the United States. When I was a kid, we had one analog clock on the mantle above the fireplace in the living room. Twice a year, my Dad would walk up to the clock and, in a process that took all of about two seconds, spin the minute hand on the clock once in the proper direction and walk away ... done! Now, I have a clock in every room, in every car, on numerous kitchen appliances (oven, microwave, coffee maker, refrigerator, etc.), on telephones, answering machines, radios, TVs, fax machines, etc. I even have a clock on my shaver! In my house, switching to/from Daylight Time has become an unbelievable twice-a-year hassle. Some clocks, e.g. on my fax machine, never get reset because I can't remember how to do it without digging out the manual. Life's too short!

Re: FW: Setting Weights on LPARs
Herbie, I monitor IBM-MAIN via the web interface and I haven't seen your post yet. Maybe it was rejected due to the images you attached (deleted from my response). To answer your question... The weights are normalized to 100%. So 33, is the same as 333 if using 1000 as the total instead of 100. It is common to use 1000 since it allows more granularity. However, in the screen shots you attached, the total of the weights is 1200 (well, 1199). So 200 /1200 is 16%, which is still less than the max of 33% of the box if you have one engine defined (which means it is achievable). The production LPAR has 84%. So it better have 3 enginges defined to it. If it only had 2, it could only get up to 66% of the total capacity of the box - even if the test lpar was only using 1%.

ASM, RSM and VSM all work together to resolve these kinds of issues; it's called Teamwork. If you've validly GETMAINed the storage, you'll never know where the storage resided when you started the access; if you don't validly own the storage, you'll see the mainframe equivalent of Microsoft's Blue Screen of Death. It's been that way all the way back to OS/360, and, I suspect, most of the other operating systems that were used before then. OS/360 was a real storage only operating system.

Re: High Water Mark for a HLQ
Ed: Admittedly my experience with Kommand is dated also. It's about 6 years old. However, when I worked for a company that used it, the product had an SVC with it. This SVC trapped every request that would cause a change in a dataset's size such as new allocation, deletion, and space extension or release. It would then cut an SMF record indicating what was done and the amount of DASD space involved. When you first installed the product you would run a utility that cut the initial SMF records showing all the space allocated by datasets at that point in time. After that you just kept track of the changes based on the SMF records. I felt it worked fairly well. Tom Kelman Tom: Interesting addition it has made, thanks for the update. How has your experience shown about abends in the regular reporting process? I got tired of debugging their COBOL programs. The only positive thing I can say about the package is that their IEFACTATRT was attractive in the output as it was easy to understand and the users liked it. Ed Well, I installed the system parts of the product and then ran the SMF records into MXG for capacity planning. The charge back reporting would have been run by the applications side of the house. However, I never heard any complaints about a lot of COBOL debugging. * If you wish to communicate securely with Commerce Bank and its affiliates, you must log into your account under Online Services at http://www.commercebank.com or use the Commerce Bank Secure Email Message Center at https://securemail.commercebank.com NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any attached files are confidential.

This is an issue common for both virtual machine monitors and the os/vs genre of operation systems ... where the applications built channel programs that were then passed to be directly executed. The 360/370 genre of channels required real addresses for execution ... but the application (and/or virtual machine) built channel programs all had virtual address specifications. To handle the situation, a copy of the original channel program had to be created with the specified virtual addresses replaced with the corresponding real addresses. for other topic drift ... charlie's work on fine-grain locking supporting cp67 multiprocessor operation resulted in his invention of the compare-and-swap instruction (mnemonic chosen because CAS are charlie's initials). initial forey with pok and 370 architecture owners were met with brick wall resistance because the pok favorite son operating system people claimed that the test-and-set instruction (from 360 days) were more than sufficient for all multiprocessor support. The challenge was in order to justify comapre-and-swap instruction was a non-multiprocessor use had to be defined/invented. The result was the multi-threaded use description (whether or not the environment was multiprocessor) that current shows up in appendix section in principles of operation. misc. posts mentioning multiprocessor and/or compare-and-swap instruction http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#smp somewhat related to the original thread subject ... when i first got a copy of cp67 at the university as an undergraduate ... when virtual machine logged on ... the virtual address space backing store (for the virtual machine) were all initialized to a single, special zeros page on the cp67 ipl/boot volume. Each corresponding page table entry that pointed to the zeros page also had a flag that if the virtual page was ever modified/changed (after being fetched into real storage), it was to have a new (disk paging) backing location dynamically allocated. an early enhancement that i made to cp67 ... was to initialize freshly, created virtual storage with indication that on initial page fault, that instead of fetching the virtual page from some disk location ... that a real page was to be allocated and then simply cleared to zeros (i used a bxle loop with stm of ten registers that had been all cleared to zeros).

Re: Time Zones (Was: IBMLink is UP - just kidding)
Of course this annual discussion of daylight savings, and now time zones, has always been one of my favourite gripes. Working as I am in Asia, for a multi-national company, being involved in any global conference call is always tricky. I keep suggesting that we should all just book such calls using UTC, but the US based company prefers New York time. It has got to the stage where I am now suggesting that all our computers just be set to UTC, with no local offset. That moves ALL handling of local time to the applications which interface with people. Knowing that all systems were on UTC it would make problem diagnosis of any log submitted so much easierno need to be concerned what the local time was where the log was produced. If the various military organisations around the world are capable of running on UTC (Zulu), then similar sized commercial organisations can do the same. I see that Gil has made similar comments. Aside: Singapore uses same time zone as China.which is same as Perth, Western Australia. Jakarta, east of Singapore, is 1 hour behind Singapore...not what you would expect.
