Re: How big is your z/OS 1.9 root and where does it live
I just ran out of space on my ROOT while installing JAVA 31.$ You should not install directly into the root file system but allocate a separate file system for each separate product. Keep the root more or less as it is delivered with z/OS, except from creating additional directories to be used as mount points for other file systems. -- 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

You can check the meaning of message identifiers here: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/lookat Apparently a CESF ( signof) is given with an invalid option.

Minimum tasks to restart in Infoprint
We're running z/OS v1.7 and Infoprint. Once in a while something creates a bad entry in our DNS for a particular printer which causes the printer to stop printing (because the output is being sent to an unknown host). The bad entry in DNS can be deleted but since Infoprint has already built an entry in its database with this bad host name the printer won't start working until the AOPD daemon is restarted. Our shop IPLs once a week and the IPL cleans up the problem host names in Infoprint because (I believe) daemon AOPD is restarted causing Infoprint to rebuild its print entries in its database. What I'd like to do is to have Infoprint restart each night rather than wait for the weekly IPL. I want to only shut down the minimum number of daemons in order to get Infoprint to refresh. I feel that I only need to stop and restart AOPD for this to happen. Can anyone validate this or are there other daemons I should restart to make this happen?

Re: How big is your z/OS 1.9 root and where does it live
Top ROOT is not a term I've run into before, although I understand what Lizette is using it for. Before OS/390 V1.9 (not to confuse with z/OS V1.9), it was simply the root file system. Then V1.9 introduced the syslpex sharing of file system and with this two new terms were coined: - The Sysplex Root, which simply is the first file system mounted by the kernel. It's the point you reach by cd /. There is only one sysplex root and all systems participating in sysplex sharing of file systems have it mounted as the top level filesystem. The sysplex root has a coulpe of mount points and a couple of sysbolic links but is empty otherwise. - The Version Root contains all the data (directories, files, etc.) that is delivered with each OS release. It is what has been called root file system before OS/390 V1.9. Some systems in the sysplex may share this file systems, some may have another version of it. The planning guide explains this all, although it problably more than one pass to get the idea. -- Peter Hunkeler CREDIT SUISSE Global Data Center Operations Print Processing Engineering / KIUK 3 Uetlibergstrasse 231 CH-8070 Zurich Phone +41 (0)44 332 2697 Fax +41 (0)44 332 4543 http://www.credit-suisse.com -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chase, John Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 4:28 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: How big is your z/OS 1.9 root and where does it live -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Peter, I totally agree with your statement, however, the descriptions and diagrams are very nice in this manual.

Re: C03 abend when omitting CEE.SCEERUN from JCL
After talking to another co-worker, 2 more things come to mind: 1. If the OS/VS COBOL program is the one that opened the file and did not close it, the COBOL library routines will NOT automatically close the file when the application terminates. The COBOL library routines will only automatically close any open files that were opened (but not closed) in VS COBOL II and later programs. 2. If you have any of the older COBOL library data sets (e.g., OS/VS COBOL or VS COBOL II) ahead of SCEERUN in the LINKLST concatenation, this will also cause problems. You will have to remove the older COBOL library data sets from LINKLST. Check your LINKLST for duplicate modules beginning with ILBO or IGZ. For example, scan for ILBONTR and IGZEINI. If they appear in more than one data set, you will need to remove the older library data sets. In any case, you still should correct the original problem by closing the file that was left open.

Simple answer. LE used to clean up after sloppy Cobol programs which failed to close all opened files... without making a fuss. VSCobol or very latest Cobol, no difference, any and all Cobol programs which end and leave files open. At some point, we hit it at OS390 2.10, LE stopped doing this. It started issuing C03 abends. In batch, not really a problem because the abend happens AFTER the job completes.

NY Metro NaSPA Chapter Meeting: Wednesday, 5 November 2008
The next meeting of the NY Metro NaSPA Chapter will be on Wednesday, 5 November 2008 in room 1219 at the IBM Building at 590 Madison Avenue, New York City, from 10:00 AM until 4:30 PM. We have an *outstanding* day planned, with some of the best System z speakers in the industry. Sessions for the day include: Linux on System z: Perfect Together, Dennis Wunder, Technical Consultant for Linux, z/VM, zSeries, IBM Corporation Faced with the challenges of managing rising costs, delivering improved feature/function, and optimizing servers and people skills, today's IT industry is turning to Linux and Virtualization technologies. Linux and z/VM running on System z Enterprise Servers from IBM are helping large and small enterprises alike. Nationwide Insurance claims it will save 15 million dollars over 3 years because of its investment in z/VM and Linux. DGTIC claims to have recovered the cost of a new System z solution in less than 2 years based on database licensing savings alone. This interactive session will discuss the technical and business benefits of including z/VM and Linux on System z in your IT strategy. Come and learn how the Linux operating system allows businesses to build platform independent skills. Come and learn how z/VM's extreme virtualization allows big companies like Nationwide, and smaller operations like DGTIC, to run hundreds of virtual servers on 1 or 2 physical servers. We will discuss what workloads make sense, and what are easy starting points. We will show why making an investment in Linux and System z will provide a solid return to your IT operation. Customer examples will be included throughout the talk as proof points and areas of opportunity for to consider. An Introduction to SDSF Support for REXX, Joe Perillo, SDSF Development, IBM Corporation With z/OS V1R9, SDSF added support for the REXX programming language, which allows you to perform SDSF operations from within a REXX application. This presentation provides a brief overview of SDSF and an introduction to using REXX with SDSF. Access to nearly all SDSF functions and data are available using the REXX interface. This gives you the power to examine or collect data from SDSF programmatically, automate logical decisions, and implement any of SDSF's actions on those values. Migrating to z/OS V1R10, Marna Walle, z/OS System Build and Installation, IBM Corporation Come drink from the fire hose! This session is of interest to systems programmers and their managers who are migrating to z/OS R10. The speaker will cover the following topics: steps to take now to prepare for your migration, driving and target system requirements, and some of the most important migration actions you'll need to know when upgrading to z/OS R10. Attend this session to get the technical information you'll need for your z/OS R10 migration. Pre-registration is requested and recommended as it simplifies getting into the building and helps us get the room set up correctly. Please RSVP to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as soon as is possible if you are thinking of attending. The meeting is open to non-NaSPA members and is free. Please pass this invitation on to your colleagues!

Re: SVC Update Utility
I need to install an SVC dynamically. Once upon a time Omegamon could do that, but after the advent of SETPROG, that old support was dropped.

Re: SVC Update Utility
Got this about 3 weeks ago from a SAS consultant who used to be a workmate: Arrived just before 8AM. Began by testing a new SVC number of their test system. First the load library was APF authorized. Then performed a SETPROG LPA,ADD,MODNAME=IGX00248,DSN=SAS.SAS913IT.TEMP followed by the DISPLAY command which states that it found it. However, the SVC Checker job did not match. ??? called around 10AM to work this problem. We tried several different tests under the SAS REXX online environment. I'll spare all the details of testing, but ??? found a parameter SVCNUMDEC=(109,248) which turned out to be the savior. This option on the SETPROG command is an undocumented option and cannot be found anywhere on IBM's website (there were only 4 hits on Google). -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Skip Robinson Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 16:48 To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: SVC Update Utility I need to install an SVC dynamically.

Favorite Way(s) for COBOL as HTTP Client?
I got a question asking for recommendations on how to write a COBOL application (on z/OS) to act as an HTTP client. That is, the COBOL program makes an outbound HTTP request, provides some input data, and receives some data back. The data format is arbitrary -- could be XML, could be just simple strings. Further assumptions: there's only Enterprise COBOL (compiler) and base z/OS (including any standard and no charge features). Also, there are significant bonus points awarded for high service quality attributes (RAS, security, performance, etc.) It broke! is not adequate diagnostic information if something fails, like the network or authentication to the remote HTTP server. :-) The same method could be used with Enterprise PL/I programs without any material differences. Anyway, with those conditions, here's the list of options I came up with: 1. Java application written using standard java.net HTTP client logic and JZOS record conversion classes. Invoked as a JZOS job step. 2. Same as #1, but invoked via COBOL INVOKE. 3. CBT tape 556 (REXX HTTP client sample). 4. Via cURL for z/OS, part of the z/OS Ported Tools. Options #2 and #4 are currently my favorite (again, given these restrictions). Along the lines of #1 and #2 there are probably Perl and Python avenues as well. Anybody got any better (or at least different) ideas? Yes, I know this is rather easy in CICS Transaction Server (EXEC CICS WEB ...), for example. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan / Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [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: SVC Update Utility
Alen said: SVCNUMDEC=(109,248) which turned out to be the savior. Well, 109 is for Extended SVC services and 248 is the SVC number and the book sez SVC 109 assumes the characteristics of a type 3 or 4 SVC. but I wonder what attributes SVC248 was assigned. I guess I'll try it tomorrow on the test system and see. We have a tool to tell if the user SVC is for APF callers, allows AR mode and requires locks or not. I don't think IBM will tells us anything.

New IBM Whitepaper : Why to choose CICS Transaction Server for new IT projects
*** Apologies for the duplicate - I have just been told that posting via Usenet does not reach the majority of subscribers - and so I am posting again using LISTSERV . I hope you find this document useful *** This is a newly published Whitepaper that I have just finished writing with the help of an IBM colleague, Tim Sipples. It is aimed at information technology (IT) architects, project mangers, and other decision makers who are considering their options for new IT projects. It focuses on the merits of deploying new applications to the System z platform, and in particular, to an environment managed by CICS Transaction Server (CICS TS). The whitepaper does not assume a great deal of prior knowledge. In this regard, it can also serve as a good introduction for those who want to learn about CICS TS and the IBM System z platform. Additionally, it can be a useful document for existing clients who are not aware of (or taking advantage of) the unique capabilities of a modern CICS TS for z/OS deployment. It is available from this link : http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss? rs=1083uid=swg27013865 Any feedback would be much appreciated. -- 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
