DASD Space Allocation
Recap: Situation came up on a client site where they received a very large file, 2.988 million records, and allocate the file size at (cyl,(2500,100)) with a unit parameter of sysda,10; the file is received across 2 volumes in 20 extents totaling 4,331 cylinders. I am not concerned about the extents, what I don't understand is the space allocation. Explanation: Reference: 1R9.0 Using Data Sets: 1.3.4.2 Multivolume Non-VSAM Data Sets When a multivolume non-VSAM, non-extended-format data set extends to the next volume, the initial space allocated on that volume is the secondary amount. In your instance, it looks like you got the first 16 extents on the first volume, and, the remainder of extents were allocated in 100 cylinder extent increments.

re SMF Subtype 132 record
Recap: We are trying to research what software is producing SMF subtype of 132? We see these records being created every 1-2 minutes when a TSO user is log on the system. Any ideas? Response: SMF record # 132? If true, this is coming from some other product. Dumping the record(s) is a possibility. The other is to determine which module the MACRO SMFWTM calls to write the records, set an Instruction Fetch slip upon entry into the code and generate a dump with MATCHLIM=1. I do not have access to a system to assemble an SMFWTM macro, let alone look at it, so, if you chose to pursue this method, you will have to do the research. when the Record type is of type X'84'. You could also IF slip in IEFU83 which gets control when writing smf records also. I don't know which record type MULC used, or what name that product offering goes by now from IBM, but, I think it used a record type somewhere in the x'80' bracket. Reference material: smf manual.

Thus, given your observation that you got one primary and three secondary extents on the first volume, for a total of 2800 cyls, and the dataset then extended to a second volume, you got entitled to an additional 1600 cyls on the second volume. Had you specified the maximum of 59 volumes, you would have been entitled to allocate a maximum of 1600*58 + whatever space you got on the first volume (2800, based on your posted observation) If you wanted to limit the available space to exactly 4000 cyls, you should have specified a primary of 4000 cyls with no secondary, on a volume that had 4000 cyls available. -jc- -- 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

True, if you consider only a single volume, and only 16 extents, that gives you a max of 4000 cylinders. But you don't have a single-volume case, if I've read this thread correctly. You have a multi-volume case, and there each volume can have up to 16 extents, where each volume after the first uses an allocation unit of 100 cylinders per extent. So, in theory, you could have 4000 cylinders on the first volume, 1600 cylinders on a second volume, 1600 cylinders on a third volume, etc. for as many volumes as you've allowed the data set to expand onto. -- Walt -- 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: DASD Space Allocation
I'm not explaining my concerns correctly. My concern is not the number of extents used; it is the space allocated, the JCL space parameter is asking for 2500,100 cylinders of space for a total 4000 cylinders. What seems to have happened is the first volume was allocated the primary + 3 extents for 2800 cylinders; the second volume was allocated 16 extents of 100 cylinders for 1600 cylinders - rlse, the total being 4331 cylinders being allocated when only 4000 was requested. The file/volume are non-SMS and my question is WHY ISN'T THE JCL REQUEST BEING HONOURED? Once you've asked for more than one volume, all bets are off. Since it couldn't find the 4000 on volume1, it went looking elsewhere using the secondary allocation. What would you have preferred? The job abend at 4000 cyls? You can only get that if you specify a primary with a single volume, that has 4000 cyls available. Me, I'd rather the job complete successfully. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! -- 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: MIPS /day
Did anyone actually answer the OP? All I saw was sarcasm and topic drift. First, there are many tools that show CPU consumption. Consumption data is stored in SMF interval records, and can be seen live using SDSF, Omegamon, Tmon, RMF, and other tools. So, look at SDSF and RMF, which you should already have along with the operating system. Assuming you record and keep SMF data, and that you have SAS available, you might look into Barry Merrill's MXG product. As for the term 500MIPS/Day, it's entirely ambiguous. MIPS means Millions of Instructions Per Second. So, the term could mean just 500 million instructions per day, or it could mean 500 million instructions every second all day long every day. (or an average of about that). 500 million instructions per day is a nit. It can occur in less than a second. Most likely, the customer meant the latter, and that is significant. Depending on the hardware, that may be one or two engines. You may also want to review historical SMF data for the application. Has the application CPU time increased significantly over time? -- 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

IBM Re-instates requirement for PA product Sub-Capacity licensing
Cross posted to LPAR-Pricing, ISVCosts and IBM-Main Listservers Folks, I know these forums don't specifically relate to IBM Passport Advantage product licensing - however I thought it important enough to ensure that the message below gets out to those who need to know it. Some time back IBM introduced sub-capacity licensing for a number of off-mainframe products and it mandated the use of a tool to track these licenses. The tool had some problems so IBM withdrew the requirement to use the tool to track sub-capacity licenses (see http://www-306.ibm.com/software/lotus/passportadvantage/tivolilicensemanager.html).

Re: DASD Space Allocation
No, the initial allocation was not in 4 extents. It was in one extent and consumed 2500 cylinders. The remaining 3 extents on the first volume are secondary extents and consume 100 cylinders each. After the initial allocation was used up, the dataset continued to grow, by a total of 1831 cylinders. It did not obtain all this space at once. It grew by one secondary extent at a time, 100 cylinders apiece. The first 18 secondary extents provided 1800 cylinders. The last 31 cylinders were in the 19th extent and the excess space (69 cylinders) was apparently released. (How many 100 Euro notes does it take to pay for an airplane ticket costing 1832 Euros?) One initial extent of 2500 + 18 secondary extents of 100 + 1 secondary extent of 31 (19 secondary extents total) yields 4331 cylinders in 20 extents. -Original Message- From: William F Besnier [mailto:snip] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 7:17 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: DASD Space Allocation -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Schwarz, Barry A Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 6:44 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: DASD Space Allocation What is the LRECL, RECFM, and BLKSIZE? 4331 cylinders is 64,965 tracks.

Re: Checking Volume Capacity
Hmm ... Good point! However, since you raise the issue, I googled for LSPACE and came up with http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1II02887 which, despite being 20 years old, still seems to apply and was updated as recently as April.

Included in the same file (SMPHOLD) FIXCAT HOLDDATA is incompatible with prior releases of SMP/E - Prior SMP/E releases (V3.3 and V3.4) will ignore FIXCAT HOLDs when discovered in SMPHOLD data sets. Coexistence APAR IO07480 (PTF UO00702 for V3.4) is required to silently ignore the FIXCAT HOLDs Coexistence APAR IO07480 (PTF UO00700 for V3.3) is required Coexistence service is highlighted in WSC Flash 10639 - FIXCAT HOLDDATA is RECEIVEd only if the UPGRADE command for SMP/E V3.5 has been run. .

I've been mucking around with MVS since about 1980 (where mucking around means doing various systems programming work) and never knew that the 16 extent limit was per volume. SNIP I have been looking at Using Data Sets (a DFP document) from various releases going back to OS/390 2.10 and I can't find something. Didn't the allocation scheme allow 3/5 (whatever the DSCB1 allows) extents to meet the *PRIMARY* and then go to secondaries (up to the 16 extent limit) *PER VOLUME* for NON-VSAM? Reading this thread and looking at the aforementioned manual for z/OS 1.7, I was surprised to read that on second and subsequent volumes, allocation is based on SECONDARY amounts. And like Patrick was saying, I've also been doing some of this stuff since the mid-'70s (pre MVS/SE).

Re: DASD Space Allocation
I was surprised to read that on second and subsequent volumes, allocation is based on SECONDARY amounts. Not only that, but if you do a DISP=MOD on an existing dataset, it uses the SECONDARY. The PRIMARY is not remembered anywhere; the SECONDARY is always. I mean no disrespect, but I've known this since 1981, and I'm ssurprised by how many don't! - Too busy driving to stop for gas! -- 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: SMF Subtype 132 record
In IPCS option 6, enter SYSTRACE and do a find for ' 53 ' That should take you to the SVC 83 entry, but there could, conceivably, be multiple SVC 83 entries, so you'll need to check Reg1 to be sure it's pointing to a type132 record. Regs in SYSTRACE follow the PSW and are in the sequence R15, R0, and R1. If you need more help than this, please see if someone can give you a short lesson in the IPCS commands you'll need or take an IPCS course.

Re: DASD Space Allocation
I'm not sure I understand what you mean; if the default volume is a 3380 and the allocation is satisfied on a 3390, a larger volume, how would the space allocation be increased for the larger 3390. Found the following info in DFSMSdfp Storage Administration Reference (SC26-4920-01) in Chapter 3 (Creating the Base Configuration), Topic 3.2 (Defining the Base Configuration), subtopic 3.2.3 (Specifying the Default Device Geometry): When allocating space for a new data set on DASD, SMS converts all space requests in tracks (TRK) or cylinders (CYL) into requests for space in KB or MB. If a generic device type such as the 3380 is specified, SMS uses the device geometry for that generic device to convert tracks or cylinders into KB or MB. If an esoteric device type such as SYSDA or no UNIT is specified, SMS uses the default device geometry to convert tracks and cylinders into KB or MB. If the users in your installations specify space in tracks or cylinder units, and they specify an esoteric UNIT or no UNIT you must specify a default device geometry prior to converting these allocations to system-managed data sets. . After SMS converts space requests to KB or MB, the space values are passed to the ACS routines. The values are later used to determine the number of tracks or cylinders to allocate for the data set. The default device geometry does not apply to objects or data sets allocated on tape. . There is only one Default Device Geometry for the entire SMS complex. Default Device Geometry is an installations' definition of how much space is represented by a TRK or a CYL when an esoteric unit or no unit is specified. . The device geometry for a 3380 is 47476 bytes/track, 15 tracks/cylinder. The device geometry for a 3390 is 56664 bytes/track, 15 tracks/cylinder. . It is up to each installation to decide what values to use. From MVS Storage Management Library: Managing Data Sets (SC26-4408): Using Default Device Geometry: In an SMS environment, you use default device geometry to convert track and cylinder allocation requests to bytes. This can be used for both SMS- and non-SMS-managed data sets. Using default device geometry isolates users from actual physical devices; the amount of allocated space will be consistent, regardless of which device is used. If you specify a default device geometry, it will be used for a new data set allocation as follows: - When the data set is SMS-managed and a generic UNIT has not been explicitly specified. - When an esoteric UNIT name is specified for a non-SMS-managed data set. - When no UNIT name is specified for a non-SMS-managed data set, and the default unit is esoteric. If the default unit is generic (e.g., 3390), then the device geometry of this unit is used for space calculations.

I heard about this change several times during the week in San Jose. I'm pretty sure that the message was that RECEIVE will *not fail* absent the toleration PTF. You will get 30K+ messages complaining about unrecognized data in the input stream and a return code 8 to make you pay attention. All recognized data--that is, everything you currently process successfully--will be properly digested and absorbed, as all properly absorbed nutrients are, into vital motors for the sustenance of the total organism. The undigested intake is deposited elsewhere. In other words, without the toleration PTF, you will have to deal with a rather foul mess, but there will be no harm. . .

Re: SMF Subtype 132 record
Hello; Ralph Kaden has given you a slip trap to use which will pretty much get you where you want to get to rather quickly in identifying who is producing the record. It will require knowledge on how to use IPCS to format up the dump. There are a series of Redbook publications available that will give you guidance on how to use IPCS. Volume 8 of the ABC's of SYSTEMS PROGRAMMING is a good one. There are even url's to download dumps for the exercises in the book you can use.
