EMC DASD Mirroring

Disclaimer: 70km is not yet the limit. BTW: 2 black fiber links means nothing except you probably have redundant links. It's likely you intend to use some DWDM device (optical multiplexer).

enlarging SMPNTS
Hi, I tried to install SMP/E 3.5 from ShopZSeries. The receive job abended because the HFS file that contains the SMPNTS directory reached 123 extents.

Piggybacking on John M.'s question: From an IRRDBU00 unload, I have need to list each individual user ID with access granted to each individual CICS transaction in the GCICSTRN class. We use the grouping profile to define the CICS transactions to RACF, wherein each grouping profile contains one or more transactions as members.

Also, I can already format the various records as needed for splicing. So far I've been able to list EITHER all occurrences of an individual transaction with the user groups in the access lists, OR each individual user ID with the grouping profiles to which they have been granted access, but haven't found a way to take the final step to match individual user IDs with individual transaction IDs.

Re: enlarging SMPNTS
I sure there are a number of ways to do this but one way uses the pax command within unix. Create a new HFS file for your SMPNTS and mount is somewhere. Then go into the the smpnts directory (cd /u/smpnts) and from there enter the following command: Pax -pe -rvwk . /destination_directory Destination_directory is your mount point for your larger smpnts file. When the command completes, unmount your current nts file and remount your new one at /u/smpnts and all of your old smpnts data is now in your new smpnts file system Stan --- Stan Weyman Corporate Information Services System Administrator III Amica Mutual Insurance Company 25 Amica Way Lincoln, RI 02865 voice: 1-800-992-6422 ext. 22679 fax: 1-401-334-2748 email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] web:www.amica.com P Please consider the environment before printing this email -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kurt Quackenbush Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 8:38 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: enlarging SMPNTS The receive job abended because the HFS file that contains the SMPNTS directory reached 123 extents.

Sysplexing to the new z10s
I have a couple of z900s that I'm going to be upgrading to z10s. Now we're all aware of the restrictions of not being able to Sysplex the z900s directly to the z10s but I had a question. Would it be possible to use a z9 CF only CEC to 'bridge' the Sysplex connection between a z10 and a z900? This would allow us to do one of the z900s on a single weekend then the second on the next weekend pulling the z9 CF CEC out when done.

Re: enlarging SMPNTS
Hi Kurt, I've never heard of the SMPWKDIR DD before. I assume that is in the Global zone? I looked at both our Global and Target MVS zones and it wasn't defined. We are still z/OS 1.7 and SMP 3.4. By the way - what is the SMPNTS? I am trying to figure out exactly how our system is set up, so I can set up maintenance. I noticed an OMVS file with the name of OMVS.SMPE.SMPNTS. I assume that is the file in question that was filling up. I see this file is catalogued on one of our systems, but not the other. It isn't mounted on either system.

DB2 Version 8 server threads going parallel.
I have been asked to cross post this as this issue is causing us a lot of pain, anguish, and gnashing of teeth.. We are having performance issues with processes going parallel once we migrated to DB2 V8 CM. We have our dsnrslt01 table setup to not allow any parallel. this was working fine in V7 not allowing any parallel but in V8 the distributed threads are going parallel. I have checked zparm settings for this and all are set properly to not allow parallel. Are there any settings out in server land that need to be set. Most are going parallel CPU. Or any other suggestions. We have an open PMR with IBM.

Re: enlarging SMPNTS
The SMPWKDIR is a ddname in the JCL used to override the location used for the temp file I thought. You also can use the SMPNTS ddname in your job to override the location of the smpnts file system as in: //SMPNTS DD PATHDISP=KEEP, // PATH='/u/smpnts' When you receive the order from IBM, they downloaded via FTP into the smpnts file system and then it gets received into your SMP/E CSI and other files as part of the RECEIVE process. You really should take the time to go over the books and understand the process to save you some time and grief, especially if doing z/OS 1.9 and it's your first time.

Re: enlarging SMPNTS
Thanks Stan. I thought about not posting the question and just looking in the books, which I still intend to do, but then I thought there might be others who had the same questions and wondered what the SMPNTS and SMPWKDIR files are. I first noticed the FIXCAT feature when I installed the DB2 Performance Moniter for DB2 V8. I was wondering what it was, so I did a little research on it. Is that the only new feature in SMP/E 3.5? I'll be looking that up also. I noticed that z/OS 1.9, which I'll be installing soon, still has SMP/E 3.4. I didn't order z/OS 1.9. I wish the new version of SMP/E was ordered with 1.9, but it wasn't, and I think its too late to reorder 1.9.

My question - could I be sure that when one applies IFI more than one time on the same scope, IFI ALWAYS returns the records with the same LRSN in the same order?

Efficient conversion of GMT to/from local time from COBOL?
Hi all, A question has been asked of me to which I think I know the answer, but not how (in)efficient it would be: Is there a z/OS-supplied function to convert GMT to local time (or back again)? Now, I don't yet know in what format the GMT is arriving for conversion, but it is very likely NOT in STCK(E) format but rather in some external character format. I know I can write a small C routine to convert character format GMT to time.h format and then use localtime(clock) to perform the conversion from GMT to local time, or gmtime(clock) to go the other way. BUT the question is, when called from COBOL will that small C routine set up and tear down the C environment every time it's called? If so, is there a way to make those calls to a C function from COBOL more efficient? Or am I barking up the wrong tree because there's another/better/simpler way to do this conversion? Obviously I could also write assembler to convert the character format GMT to STCK(E) format with CONVTOD and then use the CVT fields to convert that value to local time and then STCKCONV to go back to character format, but I am hoping there is a simpler HLL-based solution. TIA for any help/info/RTFM you can provide. Environment is Enterprise COBOL 3.4, z/OS 1.8 if it matters.

Re: Efficient conversion of GMT to/from local time from COBOL?
BUT the question is, when called from COBOL will that small C routine set up and tear down the C environment every time it's called? If so, is there a way to make those calls to a C function from COBOL more efficient? For different values of efficient. But (having never done it, myself), my understanding is that C is LE compliant, it can be done. You will probably have to read the LE reference manual (true name escapes me) to find out exactly how to do it.

MAXSORT
We are in the process of directing files that normally went to VTS technology to new DS8100 disk. This is being done via SMS. Does anyone know if it is possible to direct the MAXSORT SORTOUxx files to disk. I ran a test and it allocates the first SORTOUxx on the DS8100 disk but then fails saying insufficient SORTOUxx dd statements. If I run the old way it allocates the first SORTOUxx to the VTS and then dynamically allocates 5 more to the VTS. Someone indicated that they think that Syncsort realizes it is not on tape therefore does not allocate the additonal SORTOUxx files. We only have 32 3592 tape drives and think we will have a problem if we have to direct the SORTOUxx to them (we have 128 VTS tape drives). -- 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: DB2 IFI LRSN sequence question
I missed that the 16 ms wait spin has been removed in DB2 9 NFM. However, the redbook is wrong for pre-version 9. According the DB2 V8 Data Sharing Planning and Admin Guide, the LRSN is a value derived from the store clock timestamp and synchronized across the members of a data sharing group by the Sysplex Timer. This clearly states that the LRSN is unique in the group, not just within the member. If it was only unique in the member, they could have continued using the LOG RBA. Anyway, to answer your question, I would doubt that in V9 you could guarantee that the log records will be returned in the EXACT order that they were written, unless you are only processing the logs for a local system (not requesting merge) if DB2 is retrieving log records from multiple log files, then I would doubt that you can count on the return sequence.

Re: DB2 IFI LRSN sequence question
1) In fact, I've received the same LRSN from different members in DB2V8!!! the LRSN is a value derived from the store clock timestamp and synchronized across the members of a data sharing group by the Sysplex Timer. means only that Sysplex provides the synchronized LRSN (Sysplex timestamp) for all the members, not that it is unique. In fact, up to DB2V8, the uniqueness of LRSN has been provided by the Log Manager, i.e. PER MEMBER! 2) Concerning the order. IFI CANNOT return the same LRSN records in the order they were written. It simply can not know that. IFI merges the logs using LRSN as a key. It means that it should use some specific merge strategy, for instance, firstly all the records from the first member, after - from the second and so on. And this means also that the same LRSN records are returned ALWAYS in the same order. But what happens if the IFI requests the last written records during the same spoken about 16 microseconds? Could it occur at all? If IFI has an internal delay and does not request records being created the last 16 ms, we obviously have the same order (all the records from the group are already written to the log). But if not - the order may be changed. On Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 9:59 PM, Wayne Driscoll [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: I missed that the 16 ms wait spin has been removed in DB2 9 NFM.

Re: Efficient conversion of GMT to/from local time from COBOL?
At the risk of exciting the ire of other list members, I think you'd better start coding the Assembler solution. You can use some shortcuts, 64-bit arithmentic, etc. that may further help speed the process. Farley, Peter x23353 wrote: Hi all, A question has been asked of me to which I think I know the answer, but not how (in)efficient it would be: Is there a z/OS-supplied function to convert GMT to local time (or back again)? Now, I don't yet know in what format the GMT is arriving for conversion, but it is very likely NOT in STCK(E) format but rather in some external character format. I know I can write a small C routine to convert character format GMT to time.h format and then use localtime(clock) to perform the conversion from GMT to local time, or gmtime(clock) to go the other way. BUT the question is, when called from COBOL will that small C routine set up and tear down the C environment every time it's called? If so, is there a way to make those calls to a C function from COBOL more efficient? Or am I barking up the wrong tree because there's another/better/simpler way to do this conversion? Obviously I could also write assembler to convert the character format GMT to STCK(E) format with CONVTOD and then use the CVT fields to convert that value to local time and then STCKCONV to go back to character format, but I am hoping there is a simpler HLL-based solution.

Re: Efficient conversion of GMT to/from local time from COBOL?
That would once have been my first and only reply to the question (plus I love coding useful utility functions like these), but recently it has become more prudent to consider the maintenance costs and available knowledge down the road after our generation retires. Using documented, standard LE functions may not be as efficient as the assembler solution, but won't require an assembler programmer to maintain it 10 years hence.

Re: FTP MEMBERS FROM PC TO MAINFRAME (HOW TO)
This is not specifically the original poster's question, but you can also transfer PDS members using our free SFTP add-on support for IBM's Ported Tools (OpenSSH). You can use any one of many free or commercial clients, including Putty's psftp. You can even use the very cool, free WinSCP GUI to connect to z/OS Unix and dataset filesystems and grapically navigate, transfer, and even edit remote datasets and PDS members. And BTW: unless you are using SSL/TLS support with FTP, you are *MUCH* more secure using OpenSSH where your passwords and data aren't sent in the clear.

Re: FTP MEMBERS FROM PC TO MAINFRAME (HOW TO)
If you have SimpList on your mainframe you can select (on the mainframe) the PC directory containing the JCL files you want to transfer. For example, if your JCL members have '.TXT' extensions you could enter the directory name like this: C:\My directory\JCL files\*.TXT This will display (on the mainframe) a list of all the files in the PC directory that have the .TXT extension. You can then enter 'N *' on the command line to traNsfer every file displayed in the list, or enter 'N pattern' (e.g. 'N abc*') to only transfer members that match the pattern. This will prompt you for the name of the data set to transfer the files to. If (for example) you enter the data set name as 'MYPREF.CNTL(*)', then MYJOB1.TXT will be transferred to a member called MYJOB1, and MYJOB2.TXT will be transferred to a member called MYJOB2 (etc).

WLM Service Class
Our management has set a goal of 1hour 15 minutes for our batch window to run. We have been meeting this goal until recently. It appears that we have been growing. At the request of management, we created a special job class that runs a service class which has an importance of 1, has CPU critical turned on and also has a velocity of 90%. This is running higher than CICS. We have started meeting our goal again, but they don't want to see any jobs running in this special class having any CPU delays. Now for my question. What is the highest you can set a service class and how do you control how high it runs? Can it be made to run as high as System? I know that it would not be wise to do this, but I just need to ask the question. Is there anything else that can be done to give this service class more priority? We are not running too many jobs in this special service class.

Putting batch higher than online can screw online response. 3. 90% is almost impossible to meet. The WLM will give up on an S/C if it can't 'help' it. 4. CPU delay is not necessarily a problem.

Re: Sysplexing to the new z10s
I'm assuming your pair of z900s is in Parallel Sysplex today. I think you're on the right track, but could you do this instead: 1. one z900 - conversion or frame swap - z990 or z9 EC 2. other z900 - frame swap - z10 EC 3. z990 or z9 EC from step 1 - conversion or frame swap - z10 EC ?. Or, if you have small z900s, then this route might be preferable: 1. one z900 - frame swap - z890 or z9 BC 2. other z900 - frame swap - z10 BC 3. z890 or z9 BC from step 1 - conversion or frame swap - z10 BC Or even this (if the z890 or z9 BC would be too tight enroute): 1. one z900 - frame swap - z990 2. other z900 - frame swap - z10 BC 3. z990 from step 1 - frame swap - z10 BC The z990 or z890 would almost certainly be a used machine (from IBM or elsewhere). The z9 might or might not be. But you get the idea. As long as you hold at least N-2 through the swaps and upgrades, you can maintain business service through the process. If these z900s are not your only machines, you might have the required leapfrog system in-house already. For example, if you've got a z9 EC somewhere in-house, you could ring up IBM and ask for some Capacity On Demand. Then use that extra temporary capacity to leapfrog forward. A slight variation on that is to use this upgrade event as a good disaster recovery dress rehearsal opportunity, shifting the workload from these z900s to your DR center and back. Anyway, I think you had the right idea, but it just needed a bit of elaboration.
