Re: CSP/AD and zOS 1.8
Others have provided some good answers to the short-term unsupported fix. The supported fix is to get thee updated to Rational Enterprise Generation Language (EGL). There are migration guides located here (scroll down to the bottom): http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/products/egl/egldoc.html The last link on that page (Cross System Product v4.1 Migration to EGL) is the most relevant in your case, so please start there. Migration is a two-step procedure, first migrating to VisualAge Generator (last version) and then to Rational EGL. Ultimately on the mainframe you'd likely license and install Rational COBOL Runtime for zSeries (5655-R29) in lieu of CSP. (You can also generate Java from EGL and deploy to other runtimes such as WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.) On the development client side you'd use Rational Business Developer (5724-S50).

Re: Stand alone Dump with ICC cards
Mark,
The total time of the outage from hang to CICS regions up an functional
was 34 minutes which I know is a local record (not one that I am anxious
to try and beat!). :-)
Not bad considering this LPAR had 22G of real storage. The SADUMP
performance with striping is amazing!
Can you provide a number how long dumping of real storage took? (Which options?)
I was able to test sadump on a 6GB real lpar, and the outage time from IPLing
sadump to IPLing MVS again was less than 10 minutes (dsntype=large to two
volumes):
8:18:50 IPL sadump
8:21:29 AMD095I VIRTUAL DUMP 15% COMPLETED. TOTAL MEGABYTES DUMPED: 8:25:02
End of sadump
8:28:08 Re-IPL 'Specify System parms' (and this only took so long because it
took me a while to recognize the end of sadump).
I keep getting postponed to test sadump on the big production lpar (well, 10G
is big for us) including their IMS/DB2 recovery. I want some numbers in case we
ever need an sadump in production to say: 'it'll only be 15 minutes longer, but
we'll have a dump to provide IBM'.
On a smaller lpar where I recently took several sadumps the actual dumping
process appeared shorter than when I took an svcdump (2.5GB real, the svcdump
always had to include OMVS and all dataspaces and the SMSPDSE/1 stuff). The
capture phase lasted 'forever'.
We also found out the hard way that when you need any OMVS stuff in the sadump
(like file information for open files), you'd better specify
ALSO DATASPACES OF ASID('OMVS')
Traditionally, we also dump all of RASPs dataspaces.

Re: whine: updating the RNL via the SET command
John, Does anybody know why the RNL cannot be updated immediately when I add a new GENERIC queue name to it and there already exists some resources using that queue name? I mean, I can understand it if IBM didn't want to bother much with coordinating updates between multiple systems. What I tried to do is add SYSZDSN to the RNL for inclusion. In my case it's SYSVSAM that we need to specify. On every system there's a vsam data set in use (APPC, if nothing else). And SYSIKJBC/SYSIKJUA that are always allocated in master, even if TSO is taken down. While I can understand the VSAM case, I loath the sysikjbc/ua thing. So that means I need a sysplex IPL. GRSRNL is syntax-tested, and we had two sysplex-wide IPLs since I first attempted the change, but nobody allows the member to be activated when I am not around (and I never am for hardware things). So I keep getting postponed on this one, too. No answer to your original question, just speculation: Once someone has gotten an ENQ a certain way they do not expect behaviour to change. And there are ways to say 'do not mind the RNL settings when you give me the ENQ'. Maybe GRS doesn't keep the original invokers parm around after en ENQ was granted, so there just any safe way to change the RNLs.

Re: OCO, Requirements, etc
One of IBM's originally stated reasons for moving to OCO was to help stop overburdening support teams with PMRs for bugs that were actually code that was poorly modified by customers. I don't know if that was every actually much of a problem, but it certainly would be now with IBM's reduced support staff. Back in the ninetees, it wasn't so much poorly modified customer code, it was rather vendor code doing things it shouldn't. My memory starts getting cloudy on this, but problems reported in the BCP area were about 60% vendor code, 20% 'real' customer code which we called 'user error', 15% errors that already had an apar/ptf and only 5% really new bugs that were not reported before. These are not offical numbers, it is the relationship that I remember for the problems *I* worked on (as a BCP level2 for IBM). The lack of source code prevents me (as a customer) from finding out fast what might have gone wrong and how to find a bypass. And software support has gone down quite dramatically in quality, in my opinion. The usual country/EMEA support in many cases has no clue, and the customer is left to deal with level3/development directly. If source weren't OCO, it would be a lot easier to discuss a problem because we could check better if we're just brushed off or if it is really true what we're told. Assuming 'the customer' is able to see through the various brush-off tactics from the various support levels (IBM and vendors). I've always felt that one of the worst parts of the OCO move was elimination of PLM. IBM could have continued providing them and still achieved everything they claimed OCO was supposed to do. True. Even for IBM support with OCO source code access that didn't have either a phone line to level3/development or a good enough history with them that a question 'why is that so' would get answered. You can see in the code comments that a certain return code is expected, but not *why*. A sore point with me is always submit a requirement, but that's another topic. Sometimes that's just a put-off, but sometimes it's an real request; they need to show justification for working on something. Same here.

Re: SMF System Logger - limitations of MANx
Other than a problem situation (looping transaction etc.) does anyone know of any shops where data is written so fast that the SMF address space (writes to MANx) can't keep up as opposed to the offload process not being able to keep up? Kees mentioned it and I have seen it happen, but only as a result of a problem - not a normal thing. I know the logger can handle much higher logging rates. Mark I can't remember exactly when we had the situation. It was quite some time ago (before 2005 from the SMFPRMxx log) and it was not during a problem situation, but during a specific point in what is considered normal processing, probably when shutting down DB2 or so. This is when we discovered the zap to enlarge the SMF buffers, which later were turned into parameters BUFSIZMAX and others of SMFPRMxx.

And software support has gone down quite dramatically in quality, in my opinion. My worst experience along those lines came with MVT. When IBM changed from simple console support to MCS, our system kept crashing. The problem occurred when an operator issued a Mount command with a seven character volume serial; due to the (new) logic path the FREEMAIN for work space was issued twice. It took only a few minutes to find the culprit in the source fiche, whereas IBM's formal fix didn't arrive until months later. I spent a lot of time working for service bureaus, and having access to the source was invaluable in diagnosing customer problems, as well as stopping some (e.g., TIME=1440 not producing billing data - Seymour/Shmuel Metz found two places to zap the Reader/Interpreter to 1439 by inspecting the fiche). OTOH, ten years later applying maintenance to our Cobol compiler caused 0C4s in the generated code, and IBM had a fix within two days (error in base register assignment). Source wouldn't have helped expeditiously, since the problem was too complex and none of my systems group had any experience with the compiler internals. Because of OCO, it's hard to tell whether IBM is doing a worse job these days. Our early MVT system was IPLed every midnight to compensate for storage leakage, etc., whereas the systems I've used in the last twenty years tend to be available 24/7 except for scheduled down time.

Another one bites the dust.
Another [small] mainframe has bitten the dust. Our MP3000 had been running OS/390 2.10 for the last few years but today has been shutdown for good with the applications moved off mostly onto UNIX platforms. Back in 1999 when we were outsourced the mainframe was going within 2 years. Well, over 8 years later and after being insourced again, it eventually happened. Having worked on IBM mainframes since 1976, starting out as a trainee sysprog on an 370/145 running OS/VS1 R5 (I think) and ending up on OS/390 2.10 (we never did make it to z/OS), it's a sad day for me. Fortunately, all here who worked on the mainframe are still employed (if they wanted to be anyway), but I'll never be as comfortable with UNIX as I have been with MVS in all its guises. Having been a long time lurker and very occasional contributor here on IBM-MAIN and on ASSEMBLER-LIST I haven't contributed much in recent years due to running back level software. While I plan on delving into IBM-MAIN when I get time, it won't be that often now. So I'd like to say a heartfelt thanks to all those who knowledge, advice and experience has helped me through the years of dealing with MVS in all its incarnations. Running a single mainframe with little in the way of resilience, it's been really helpful having the experiences of many other people to call on when needed. Now if there was a personal licence for a recent version of z/OS (or even OS/390) I'd be able to keep my mainframe skills going, but with only very old versions available under Hercules, I'd find it too limiting. I'll just have to manage with Don Higgins excellent z390 to be able to use IBM assembler when I get the chance. If anyone in the UK is interested in acquiring an as-new IBM MP3000-H50 (no internal DASD) for the cost of packing and shipping then get in touch by a personal email, otherwise its going to be recycled for parts.

Mary, Look at the WRITELOG command in MVS to force the syslog to spool and start another one.

CA VTAPE
Does anyone have comments about CA VTAPE? I did some archive searches and got some hits from 2005. I was wondering if there are any more recent experiences. I am probably most curious about CPU consumption. One of the 2005 post talked about a 15% hit on a Z890. There was a response to turn off compression for the DASD Cache.

And yes, if a zIIP is not available then compression will be done using main CPU cycles; so then you have to balance the need for a compressed CACHE versus CPU cycles. If you have a z9 with a zIIP; then you have many more options (what percentage should be done on teh zIIP versus main CPU cycles).

Re: WLM and TSO
I was just now looking at this thread and didn't see where anybody mentioned the SDCs (Service Definition Coefficients). It seems like people were comparing duration as if they meant the same thing in every location. That's not so. A duration of 100, 1000, or 1 could mean the same amount of work depending on two main factors: the SDCs and the amount of storage in the LPAR. A set of SDCs (CPU=1,SRB=1,IOC=.5,MSO=0) on one machine might produce 100 SUs, a set of SDCs (CPU=10,SRB=10,IOC=5,MSO=3) on an LPAR with a small amount of storage might produce 1000 SUs, but a set of SDCs (CPU=10, SRB=10, IOC=10, MSO=10) on a machine with a large amount of storage could produce 10,000 SUs for the same amount of work. If you're talking to someone else about service units, try to clarify how they are defined. Cheryl -Original Message- Boy Dave, you are aggressive with your TSO goals. Here we have them set as follows. I do like your third period though. If they are doing something in TSO that takes that much service than put them in never never land.

CICS Wiki news.
Breaking a long drought on the Wiki I added the following articles: - How do I write to an HFS file from CICS? http://cicswiki.org/cicswiki1/index.php?title=How_do_I_write_to_an_HFS_file_from_CICS? - How do I authenticate a web user in CICS? http://cicswiki.org/cicswiki1/index.php?title=How_do_I_authenticate_a_web_user_in_CICS? - The Dignus vendor page at http://cicswiki.org/cicswiki1/index.php?title=Dignus The Dignus page is also the target of our vendor spotlight. Well it looks like Roland and I have been a bit busy but I have him committed to write an article for us on the new dynamic program library feature of Transaction Server 3.2 I also have another promise from Ian Steyn for an article of how to implement CPSM. Speaking of Ian - the Wiki is now fully integrated with CICS world at www.cicsworld.com . Check it out! But how about all of you? Please contact me with ideas on new articles or just jump in and get it done yourself. I hope more of you will become active in the Wiki. Have a great week.

Re: Another one bites the dust.
Slots in the customer anchor table are assigned, as Steve Thompson mentioned, by IBM to customers, generally ISV's, as a way to allow ISV's an anchor point for common storage areas without having to incur the overhead of adding a subsystem definition, or of using a system wide name/token pair. See Steve Thompson's post for the details. While the actual owner of each slot is not publicly defined, some have been determined by products such as MXI or ShowzOS. As for reserving a slot, that is managed by either Jim Mulder or Peter Relson.

Martin, I'm sorry to hear you shut your MP3000 down for good. We had the same thing at PH Mining about 2 years ago, also an MP3000. I'm glad that you could keep your job. The MP3000 isn't much use anymore, since it won't run z/OS in 64 bit mode. I at least got to run z/OS in 31 bit mode before ours was shut down. OK, I'll bite! What's a Customer Anchor Table slot #51 (X'C8'-X'CB') SNIP It is a table that contains an anchor for ISVs. Each ISV is able to register for a slot. A slot is 1 word where the ISV can store an address (probably in some common storage, CSA/SQA). The ISV may use that anchor and scratch pad as they need.

Re: ESQA allocation question
I've seen earlier items about Healthchecker and its ESQA checking, but I have a general question to which I haven't been able to find the information in the manuals. Given that ESQA will just overflow into ECSA is there any real reason not to allocate ESQA fairly low so that it is always at 100%, and then size/monitor ECSA for the combined requirements? I am aware that that would not be a good thing below the line, but I haven't read of any clear reason to 'tune' ESQA rather than ESQA/ECSA as a combined area. Since CSA/ECSA does not overflow to SQA/ESQA, a sufficiently sized SQA/ESQA prevents CSA/ECSA exhaustion from causing SQA/ESQA exhaustion. So a storage leak in CSA/ECSA or runaway allocator of CSA/ECSA wouldn't cause SQA/ESQA exhaustion. Whether or not this provides any signicant benefit to system reliability is difficult to say. My guess would be that if you exhaust CSA/ESCA your system is likely to be doomed anyway. Also, overflow of SQA/ESQA to CSA/ECSA may result in slightly longer pathlengths for some request to allocate and free SQA/ESQA storage. Whether this would result in any measurable performance degradation with your workload would be difficult to say. My guess would be that the degradation would be insignificant. It might be possible to construct an artificial testcase workload where the degradation is measurable. Jim Mulder z/OS System Test IBM Corp.

MFNetDisk, is it a good product?
I will be happy if someone will review my product using this forum or any other forum (like zjournal.com). Just take a look what features this product gives without paying millions of dollars. With these features I am sure that MVS users will like to know if this product can be use after reading a independent review of this product by any users or any companies. Nobody in MF market have the MFNetDisk features. The features are: 1. Emulate 3390 with data in PC the same as IBM emulates Shark and the same as EMC emulates Symmetrix. 2. Mirrors any real 3390 (IBM 3390, EMC 3390 and HDS 3390) with data in PC. 3. Backup any real 3390 with data in PC without using MF CPU resources (CPU, IO etc...). 4. De dupe the backup files in PC. 5 Easy DR in no time!!! 6. Replace any real 3390 with another without system downtime or the source 3390 downtime. 7. Sharing 3390 between MF without distant limitation and without hardware connection. 8 MFNetDisk 3390 disks are a very good candidate to be used as HSM storage or even a virtual tape storage with data accessiable anytime by the MF. -- 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
