Re: Subcapacity price model for CA

If the SCRT reports show we have exceed our MSU baseline, we are invoiced some amount per MSU over our base for each month we have exceeded the number. We of course receive no credits for being under our baseline. Greg, this is *exactly* what we were told during our last meeting with CA last December.

Re: GDG QUESTION
G'day. If you are acessing the new file in the same JCL, the DD statement should look like: DUMPIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=PCYC.TMVHSTM.TMVS04.IRR(+1). If it's in another jcl then: DUMPIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=PCYC.TMVHSTM.TMVS04.IRR(+0). To access a one the previous generations then use (-1) or (-2) or (-3) or (-4).

Tiola, Whoa, we have a different perspective on this. Mine is based on nearly 20 years of offload experience and I have often done offloads for a number of different purposes. You yourself said that you were new and you asked for help. Your comments are inacurate, and just because something that you are trying to learn about is complex does not suggest that ranting about the design or the vendor is appropriate or reasonable IMHO. OFFLOAD is no where close to being as limited as you describe it. My statement that I know of no way to reset the indicators means exactly that - I know of no way. I also have never had the need or desire to reset them. They have a purpose and a function that I find beneficial. I personally have not had a need to dynamically define an OFFLOAD. I do not know if that can be done - which is what I said. I have several OFFLOADs defined in my JES parms, one to handle a regularly scheduled production process and others that can be set up and used as needed. If you took offense at my response (either one), I would ask only that you remember that all I know about you is what you presented in your post and on that basis I wrote my attempt at assistance. OFFLOAD is a powerful and useful tool, but one that, IMO, takes some work and study to learn to use and appreciate. Linda Mooney -- Original message -- From: SUBSCRIBE IBM-MAIN M. Ioia Thanks Linda for your suggestions. This is a fairly small shop and if I look for the JES sysprog, I'd probably end up finding myself. I'll be careful with my actions. Your statement: I know of no way to reset the output indicators. confirms other similar statements I've found browsing through the internet. However, I've not been able to find an authoritative source(IBM), document or manual to confirm. I just find it really odd that this would be the case. If OFFLOAD is an irrersable process, shouldn't it be documented as such or at least some warning. I feel like OFFLOADING is like deleting a dataset without asking for a confirmation. I know its possible to offload to another transmitter, but even with that its limited to 8 tries and you have to have them set-up before hand, (I don't think they can be created dynamically?). If you expire all 8 tries then its stuck in SPOOL land forever and noway to OFFLOAD. This is strange for a platform that prides itself in RAS (reliability, availability serviceability) and everything from hardware to software is built on fault- tollerant. To have SPOOL OFFLOAD as a one-way ticket to somewhere does seem to fit in with z-series model. Does IBM monitor this list?

There's one other performance benefit, but it is a roundabout way of claiming that the specialty engine provides improved performance - if one were to install a zIIP or zAAP and relieve the general purpose CP pool of a CPU bottleneck, then that would indirectly result in a performance benefit by offloading Java and/or other MIPS and relieving the constraint on the GPs.

Re: Cancel tso id
In SDSF your only option would have been to Cancel the TSO user. Is it really a TSO user you are trying to cancel? In SYSVIEW the user could be using the ISPF/CICS/Roscoe/VTAM interface. Any of these interfaces could be used to cancel a TSO user if thats the interface being used. I also think there is also SYSVIEW command that allows you to cancel a user on a specific interface (I havent used SYSVIEW for a few years). Your SYSVIEW or RACF administraor could have setup SYSVIEW to restrict operator commands. What message are you getting when you try to cancel the user? If you have TSO OPER authority you can also try OPER then C U=xxx from TSO READY or a command prompt.

Re: The Register article on HP replacing z
I usually stress that adding zIIPs and zAAPs provides a performance benefit for both of the reasons that Bill mentions below. The most significant for everyone is the second benefit (reducing the strain on the CPs). But you need to realize that the 'notable exception' is getting to be the rule. For example, the z10-BC zIIP/zAAP is the speed of a z01 (about 700 MIPS) for all 130 models, including the A01 (30 MIPS for a UP). If you were running DB2 on an A01, wouldn't you prefer to run DB2 on a 700 MIPS zIIP than a 30 MIPS CP? I think it's a no-brainer, especially since the cost of the specialty processors is lower than the regular CPs. Be sure to run WSC's zPCR to determine what you can expect to see in your installation.

There may be a well-meaning sales rep or specialist or press person out there who does not have a full understanding of the hardware who have made that claim, but it should not have been an official IBM claim. As has already been stated, there is one notable exception to the Specialty engines are not performance enhancers rule - machines that run at subcapacity. If you have a box that doesn't run at the fully-rated uni speed, a specialty engine will provide better performance. There's one other performance benefit, but it is a roundabout way of claiming that the specialty engine provides improved performance - if one were to install a zIIP or zAAP and relieve the general purpose CP pool of a CPU bottleneck, then that would indirectly result in a performance benefit by offloading Java and/or other MIPS and relieving the constraint on the GPs. Thus you got cheaper MIPS with the zAAP/zIIP and fixed a performance bottleneck. But that's obviously stretching things... FWIW.

The most significant for everyone is the second benefit (reducing the strain on the CPs). But you need to realize that the 'notable exception' is getting to be the rule. For example, the z10-BC zIIP/zAAP is the speed of a z01 (about 700 MIPS) for all 130 models, including the A01 (30 MIPS for a UP). If you were running DB2 on an A01, wouldn't you prefer to run DB2 on a 700 MIPS zIIP than a 30 MIPS CP? I think it's a no-brainer, especially since the cost of the specialty processors is lower than the regular CPs. Be sure to run WSC's zPCR to determine what you can expect to see in your installation. Cheryl On Nov 17, 2008, at 9:52 AM, Bill Seubert wrote: Tony, to the best of my knowledge, no one in IBM System z marketing, or for that matter, anyone with significant knowledge of the technical aspects of System z, has made official, public statements about specialty processors being features to boost performance. There may be a well-meaning sales rep or specialist or press person out there who does not have a full understanding of the hardware who have made that claim, but it should not have been an official IBM claim. As has already been stated, there is one notable exception to the Specialty engines are not performance enhancers rule - machines that run at subcapacity. If you have a box that doesn't run at the fully-rated uni speed, a specialty engine will provide better performance. There's one other performance benefit, but it is a roundabout way of claiming that the specialty engine provides improved performance - if one were to install a zIIP or zAAP and relieve the general purpose CP pool of a CPU bottleneck, then that would indirectly result in a performance benefit by offloading Java and/or other MIPS and relieving the constraint on the GPs. Thus you got cheaper MIPS with the zAAP/zIIP and fixed a performance bottleneck. But that's obviously stretching things... FWIW.

new tape drive question
List, We're in the process of implementing some TS1120 tape drives on our z/OS system. These will sit next to our 3590s. I don't know if I'm missing something obvious or if there's something I need to do to make this work. Here's the situation - which I know many of you have already encountered and successfully navigated. The 3590 tape drives and the 3592/TS1120 drives share the same device type that of UNIT=3590 with an allocation device type of 78048083. I have set up esoterics to differentiate between the two. I use UNIT=MAGS to point to the 3590s and UNIT=TS1120 to point to them. This will work fine for differentiating on a new allocation, but what happens when I want to get at an existing dataset on a tape? With the same device type on both tape drives, I can see the system requesting a TS1120 drive to load a 3590 tape because the system doesn't know the difference. How do I differentiate between the two on an existing allocation? Thanks.

PROJECTCPU, Vendors and SRBs
I had posted a query on the MXG list about reporting on zIIP usage via the PROJECTCPU function in IEAOPT. I got a wonderful response back from Al Sherkow. One of the points he made surprised me a bit. Apparently if there are no zIIP or zAAP engines, some ISVs will not make their SRB's eligible and therefore will not be collected by the PROJECTCPU. He also stated that Kathy Walsh had discussed this at the z/OS Expo in Oct 2008. Does anyone else have any input on which vendors (I think Syncsort was mentioned) that might not schedule their SRBs to be eligible for zIIP or zAAP processing because a zIIP or zAAP is not present? Or have any other gottcha's with PROJECTCPU?

Re: new tape drive question
Scott and John, Thanks for the information. I'll definitely be asking for more help as I head down this path. This is an area of z/OS where I'm not that well versed. Our current 3590 tapes are a combination of SMS-managed and non-managed tapes. The 3590s are currently used for batch datasets (SMS-managed), and DFHSM ML2 and nightly backups (non-managed). We are planning on moving the backups to the TS1120s, leaving HSM ML2 and production on the 3590s. I will head down this path with the assumption that I can (relatively) easily move the nightly backups to SMS-managed tapes. One quick follow-up question. My nightly backups are currently all GDG based full-volume backups with the DSN starting as MVS.BACKUP.whatever. To move these to SMS-managed backups on the TS1120s, do I need to change the naming convention or is SMS smart enough to know that older generations of the GDGs are non-SMS managed on the 3590s and the newer ones are SMS managed on TS1120s? For example, if I have a monthly backup called MVS.BACKUP.MONTHLY.DB0100.G1234V00 on a 3590, and then I implement this manual tape library and SMS management before my next month-end backup, so the next backup is on an SMS-managed TS1120 with DSN=MVS.BACKUP.MONTHLY.DB0100.G1235V00. Is SMS smart enough to know that if I call generation 1234 to load it on a 3590 but generation 1235 needs to go to the TS1120? Thanks for helping an SMS newbie.

After much discussion with our SE and ServerPac team, they offered a fee service to put together a COBOL distribution of 5655-G53 to ship to us. After much more discussion and exchanging tears of injustice IBM agreed to send a CBPDO as a final gesture for N/C. OK, first for the observation. The SE's back in the 20th Century looked out for us as far as keeping tabs on software upgrades, etc, advising and reminding us to order, etc. Seems in this new 21st Century I get to monitor all the Announcement letters on my own and look out for Ole #1 (the new way).

Re: PROJECTCPU, Vendors and SRBs
I had posted a query on the MXG list about reporting on zIIP usage via the PROJECTCPU function in IEAOPT. I got a wonderful response back from Al Sherkow. One of the points he made surprised me a bit. Apparently if there are no zIIP or zAAP engines, some ISVs will not make their SRB's eligible and therefore will not be collected by the PROJECTCPU. He also stated that Kathy Walsh had discussed this at the z/OS Expo in Oct 2008. Does anyone else have any input on which vendors (I think Syncsort was mentioned) that might not schedule their SRBs to be eligible for zIIP or zAAP processing because a zIIP or zAAP is not present? Or have any other gottcha's with PROJECTCPU? BMC's MAINVIEW for z/OS 2.9 schedules SRBs eligible for zIIP processing based on an installation specified parameter, regardless of the PROJECTCPU setting and/or the existence of zIIPs. However, there is a limitation with PROJECTCPU's numbers. z/OS does not provide zIIP on CP usage by JOB (Address Space) in any documented (GUPI or otherwise) field. They are only available at the WLM workload level and individual enclaves via the WLM APIs.

Re: Servicelink view format - was: Re: IBMLink planned outage
I had called in to the servicelink help desk yesterday. This is the response from EMEA support: Some customers have complained about the new look of the ETR pages, in particular the scroll box that displays the PMR contents. This feature was deployed because many customers had asked for this, and the associated facility in ETR- Revise with two scroll boxes; one for the existing PMR text and one for the new text. At this stage, all I can do is make the WW Servicelink team aware of these complaints. What will happen next will depend mainly on the US customers and if they complain about the new design. So personally, I am depending on all Americans on the list to go and complain loudly! Since IBM doesn't really care about the rest of the world (some exceptions noted). Firstly when you get the email notifying you of an update That email has been going to the wastepaper basket 'delete before reading' for years! the updated text is actually included in the email, which saves you having to logon to IBMLink ???It doesn't help me anything to *just* see the latest text. Since I am normally only opening ETRs if we have a real urgent problem, there are several exchanges per hour, and I really want to see the whole text in *readable* format, not just some bits and pieces scattered everywhere. Besides, I am logged into servicelink all day. Secondly, when you review the ETR, the whole ETR is displayed with the text box, much like it did in the previous version. Then you must see a different version. Once I either click on the ETR number or the revise/view button, all I get on the next screen is ten lines. And clicking output, then clicking display prinatble version takes forever to display! I shudder to think what that will do at oh:dark:30 on an 46KB phone line where it took 5 minutes already to display the 'text-only' thing that we had before.

Re: The Register article on HP replacing z
Bill and I have fun (and ultimately academic) debates on this point. :-) My view: if it's easier to explain to the boss that a specialty engine is an accelerator, go right ahead. It's a reasonable way to think about its impact.

Re: PROJECTCPU, Vendors and SRBs
If you absolutely cannot figure out how to get zIIP or zAAP eligibility turned on for certain products, and you suspect you're consequently undercalling the eligibility in your test measurements, you might want to talk to your IBM rep. As one option, under OOCoD (On Off Capacity On Demand) terms you could activate a zAAP and/or zIIP for even just one day, run your tests, and either shut the engine(s) off or buy it(them) permanently, depending on the results. OOCoD is available at least for any zAAP- or zIIP-capable system. The worst that would happen is you'd pay the one day specialty engine charge. As another option, if you are licensing z/VM then you can configure z/VM to simulate a zAAP and/or zIIP (on CP capacity) and run your tests that way. This second option should at least tell you whether further investigation is merited. There was some discussion about this z/VM feature in another recent thread here. - - - - - 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
