Subject: Re: HATS support for IND$FILE or ISPF C/S



The underlying HATS code libraries, which include HACL, at the very least,
support IND$FILE (and FTP, SFTP, etc.)  My guess is it's unlikely the
company you're dealing with exposed those functions in any way in the HATS
Web presentation.

It is often the case that HATS buyers also bought Host On-Demand (HOD).
(That happens when they buy HATS using WebSphere Host Integration Solution
part numbers.)  You might want to ask them if they offer HOD access in
addition to HATS access.



Tim,

So where's the doc on how to add an IND$FILE button to HATS?  I've looked 
high and low at the HATS doc, but I can't find IND$FILE even mentioned.

Tom Conley

Re: DFHSM - NO MIGRATE OF DSN

2007-11-02 Thread Schwarz, Barry A
I must not be reading between the lines properly.  If the dataset is
being modified (or even read) frequently enough, it should not be a
candidate for migration regardless of the management class.  If it is
not being modified, you don't need periodic backups; one will suffice
for disaster recovery.

Why do you allow a client to decide if data should be backed up?  If you
lose the dataset for any reason (head crash, JCL error, etc), you better
hope he stipulated that in writing.  (As a matter of data center policy,
all non-page/spool disk datasets should be backed up upon creation and
any subsequent modification.)

Does the user work for a different company than the client?  Shouldn't
they coordinate their requirements?

If the user just needs an occasional backup, you (or he) could issue the
HBACK command at that time.

Subject: DFHSM - NO MIGRATE OF DSN

Good Morning Gentle Readers,
   
  I am in a quandry.  A user has asked that a PDS not be migrated
because it is a huge file (about 2,500 cylinders).  I was able to
satisfy his requirement, however, the MANAGEMENT CLASS which governs it
has no backup attributes (client didn't want a backup) by DFHSM but the
user wants a backup of the dsn.  I think my only choice I have is to
define the dsn in another MANAGEMENT Class and have DFHSM attributes for
a backup  done.  Could there be another solution to my problem?

why external CF not internal CF

2007-11-02 Thread Tommy Tsui
Hi,

Is there any shop using external CF, As I know only for the backup purpose
in case one of CPU failed. Is there any performance improvement if using
external CF.  Why not using internal CPU?

Any comment will be appreicated.

Many thanks

On Fri, 2 Nov 2007 08:48:09 -0400, John Eells wrote:

What Run Time Library license encumbrances are you talking about?

I have a historic view.  Once, long ago, we chose not to implement
a product in PL/I because IBM took the position that each one of
our customers would have been required to deal with IBM to obtain
a PL/I license to use the RTL.  IBM would not allow us to remarket
the PL/I RTL bundled with our product.  We found that unpalatable
and chose another implementation language.

Of course, LE relieved that problem, decades too late for us.

Now, I see that METAL C is LE independent.  But, I surmised,
to be POSIX compliant it must have some RTL (well, I suppose
it could all be done with macros, expanded at compile time.
Unlikely.)  So, I wondered whether this new RTL would come
with new license requirements.  Other plies in this thread
have said, No.

As for POSIX compliance, on the page Brian P. cited:

http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/metalc/

... I read:
   ...
   A starter set of functions for a system environment includes
   functions to test and manipulate memory and strings (like memcpy()
   and strcmp() ), to classify characters (such as isalpha() and
   islowerj() ), and to process text strings (using the printf() and 
   sscanf() family of functions). ...

... Sounds encouraging.  But reading further:

... Normal input-output functionality is not provided, but   
   functions like sprintf() are. You can still enjoy the convenience of
   %-substitution in the format string; and you can emit the resulting   
   string in a buffer, and then print this buffer using, for example,
   WTO. 

... feels like a bait-and-switch.  The printf() and sscanf()
family of functions might not be fully implemented.  ALGOL 60
failed in large part because of its lack of [n]ormal input-output
functionality.

Before system-managed duplexing, if you lost a physical CEC with an MVS and a

Now, it's not as much of an issue.
But, some still feel more comfortable with external CF's.

HLASM is what is emitted.  It is not like 'regular' C which cannot execute
without an LE environment and the LE RTL linked with your program.

OMPROUTE help please

2007-11-02 Thread Gibney, Dave
  So, I set up and started OMPROUTE in my sandbox.
OSPF_INTERFACE IP_address = 134.121.143.7
  Name = ETH3
  Subnet_mask = 255.255.255.0
  MTU = 65535;   
OSPF_INTERFACE IP_address = 134.121.1.58 
  Name = ETH1
  Subnet_mask = 255.255.248.0
  MTU = 65535;   
OSPF_INTERFACE IP_address = 192.168.1.1  
  Name = HIPERLFF
  Subnet_mask = 255.255.255.0
  MTU = 65535;   
In TCPIP.ETC.OMPROUTE.CONF
And:

In the TCPIP profile.

I had connectivity via the 1.58 and not via 143.7 
I went home as the network guy I wanted to talk to was gone.
4 and a half hours later I get a call. It seems that I had declared my
sandbox to be the gateway for the 143.xxx subnet.

This was not well received. What did I do wrong ?

Now, I see that METAL C is LE independent.  But, I surmised,

with new license requirements.  Other plies in this thread
have said, No.


Ok, let's not let the train go too far off the tracks.  This thread diverged
on the discussion of PL/(S, AS, X) vs. Metal C.  

The PL/... variants:
- ARE NOT Posix compliant
- DO NOT have a runtime library
- DO NOT have standard services for input and output
- DO NOT have built in heap/stack/storage management (other than a primitive
to simply GETMAIN/STORAGE (OBTAIN) an area to accomodate the savearea and
variables declared by the module
- ARE insufficient for general purpose programming in many other ways, just
like assembler

Then, what good is PL/...?  System level programming, which implies a
fundamental binding to the underlying operating system and the hardware (and
in many cases, oddball environments - think SRB, system locks...).  Other
than the fact that it is a 3GL, it really doesn't purport to be a general
purpose language for anything.  This is role that Metal C chooses to play
for us unwashed masses.  It is for systems level activities on a particular
class of system.  That being said, it's up to the programmer to deal with
the above problems in their own way.  Do I get input from SYSIN?  Open a
DCB.  Do I use an operator REPLY for input?  Issue a WTOR.  Do I use MODIFY?
 Extract the CIB.  Just like assembler.

Additionally, I'd suspect that I could find a bright C programmer and get
them useful on METAL C faster than PL/X.  IBM doesn't do anything without
some level of informed self interest.  Perhaps they are having trouble
locating good PL/X programmers themselves?

Bait and switch?  I don't think so.  Unrealistic expectations?  More likely.

You can do this with TMON/MVS if you have the product.? Display job names

Re: Upgrading from a z890 to a z9 BC

2007-11-02 Thread Salway, Nigel
The z9 requires a high-level of the HMC program. IMHO, the easiest way
to get this new level is to get a new HMC. In our case, we upgraded from
a 7060-H30 to a z9 BC. The existing 7060 HMC could not be upgraded to
control a z9 and as far as I know the HMC version shipped with a z9
can't be used to control a G5/G6 processor. As you are running z-series,
it is possible that you can use your existing HMCs, but you will almost
certainly have to upgrade the level of the HMC code to do so.  Check
with IBM.

Something similar happened to us, some years ago.  As a result, we make sure 
that z/OS routing information is mostly ignored by the first router we connect 
to.  The only thing they accept from z/OS is our host routes.  They ignore our 
default route or any other routing data coming from z/OS OMPROUTE.  This is 
done using routing filter commands in the router.

We use SPC to support products that run in z/OS, z/VSE, and CMS. We have 
our own run-time library.


METAL C looks good, but I haven't seen any SOD about providing its 
LPA-resident library functions in other  (non-z/OS) environments. That 
seems to imply we will be stuck with SPC for the foreseeable future. 
Hopefully, IBM won't do something stupid like desupport it. They've 
already de-emphasized its development to the point where we've had to 
start policing them to be sure they don't mess things up when people 
work on it that don't understand the big picture.

Any comment will be appreicated.


There are no more real external CFs. For the discussion I define 
external CF as a CF LPAR located on CPC (more precisely: CEC) which 
doesn't host any z/OS LPAR from *the same* sysplex.

To simplify no z/OS and CF reside on same machine - this is external CF.
To have or not to have external CF. That is the question.
YES, HAVE EXTERNAL CF. Machine with both CF and z/OS is SPOF (Single 
Point Of Failure). If it fails, you loose data. You don't want it, do you ?
This is the point. If you want to accept this risk, no, not want: HAVE 
TO ACCEPT IT DUE TO BUDGET CONSTRAINTS, then don't buy another CPC for 
CF purposes. However from redundancy point of view you should have at 
least 3 boxes: z/OS 1, z/OS 2 and external CF. Note: you should have at 
least another CF, but it can be located with z/OS. You treat it as a 
backup for CF1.


SMCFSD (System Managed CF Structure Duplexing).
You can have structures duplexed (it is done at structure level, not CF 
level). It relieves requirement for external CF, because CF content 
(structures) is duplexed. However it costs you more CPU cycles. Your 
bill for z/OS will be higher, assuming similar performance.

What is cheaper - software or another CF ? I don't know, I'm sure YMMV.

Re: why external CF not internal CF

2007-11-02 Thread Skip Robinson
I'm not sure that system managed duplexing costs significantly more in MVS
cycles. With this kind of duplexing, the CFs talk directly to each other as
well as to their respective MVS LPARs. Applications do not themselves
mirror structures, and some of the overhead of duplexing is handled by ICF
engines.

 I'm pretty sure that two CECs with ICF LPARs and system managed duplexing
would be cheaper than the cost associated with maintaining a third CEC that
had no other purpose than XCF services.

I want to do it a different way, so as to not have to store and maintain

 Well, I guess I have to be a little nice, he did indicate that my wife was
charming.  Thank you, Ed - Nicole

Re: why external CF not internal CF

Every write is approx. 3 times longer. During this time z/OS waits for 
response (assuming synchronous CF request). For the user it means more 
CPU (GP) usage. It is a cost in terms of GP purchase and WLC license.




 I'm pretty sure that two CECs with ICF LPARs and system managed duplexing
would be cheaper than the cost associated with maintaining a third CEC that
had no other purpose than XCF services.


I think so. However one can have more sysplex members, even more 
sysplexes. In that case one can have rolling sysplex:

CPC-01   CPC-02   CPC-03
MVS-A1   MVS-A2   CF--A1
MVS-B2   CF--B1   MVS--B1
CF--B2   CF--A2

3 machines: 01,02,03
2 sysplexes: A, B
Each sysplex consist of 2 MVS and 2 CFs. CF-x1 is primary, CF-x2 is spare.
We have two sysplexes on 3 machines. Both sysplexes are fault tolerant.

If the configuration above contains many PUs enabled, then cost of third 
box (and ISC/ICB cards) is not so big when compared to total cost of 
z/System hardware.

Re: why external CF not internal CF

2007-11-02 Thread Tommy Tsui
Dear all,
Thanks all your comment. Actually, We have two physical cpu located in our
local site and one cpu in DR site. Our local site CPU are connected with
internal ICF and 9037 timer. IBM suggest to buy a external timer in order to
implement the RLS. I don't think it is necessary. I dont' see any
performance gain after using external CF execpt for redundancy. Our DR site
almost 35km away from local site. How can we connect the CF to remote site
with distance 35km...is this a point to using external CF???

thanks for help

  Hi,

  Any comment will be appreicated.

 SMCFSD (System Managed CF Structure Duplexing).
 You can have structures duplexed (it is done at structure level, not CF
 level). It relieves requirement for external CF, because CF content
 (structures) is duplexed. However it costs you more CPU cycles. Your
 bill for z/OS will be higher, assuming similar performance.
 What is cheaper - software or another CF ? I don't know, I'm sure YMMV.

That's the only common storage currently available above 2G. However, 
unlike CSA, it must be explicitly shared.
