MIM - GRS conversion in practice
Hello group, With the information from several discussions in the last year or so and the new ability to convert from GRSRNL=EXCLUDE to GRSRNL=xx without a Sysplex wide downtime, we had everything in place to execute the scenario on our Testsysplex. There we ran into a sneaky MIM problem. MIM has implemented GRS exit ISGNQXITBATCHCND with 2 modules named MIM=XXBC and MIM=QXFX. Stopping MIM will not deactivate the exit and blocks the GRSRNL conversion and because of the non-standard modulenames, the exit cannot be deactivated either with a SET PROG=xx scenario. Any ideas to tackle this hurdle? Thanks, Kees. ** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.

Maybe because changing to bigger volumes costs downtime of the control unit? At least I was told it does, as the CU cannot be reconfigured while active IO is going on. And downtime of the control unit means downtime for x number of lpars behind that control unit, most of them IPL-able 4 times per year. And no, we don't have enough money to have two CUs per lpar.

Re: TCPIP Default keep alive question
since last December we have been getting ASOD abends in certain CICS transactions, which indicates that a premature 'RST' instead of a 'FIN' was being issued, so CICS issued an abend in response to it. the abends were documented as being in response to insufficient keep-alive values and I reported the problem to CICS support, who said to look into the use of 'port scanners', which were software packages that Internet security might be running to scan the ports. And Internet security also runs firewalls with a default timeout of 1 hour. our TCP/IP is set to the default of 2 hours. the users were asked to check the server software and did not find that it itself was setting keep-alive values, but after 6 months, we finally found that the application itself running on a windows server and which invokes the url to the CICS application was setting connection timeout values. And someone from the CICS list also showed me a way to set the keep-alive directly from the CICS web applications. So, just knowing what the default TCP/IP values are might be meaningless, since they can easily be overridden by user applications. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Chris Mason Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2009 11:37 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: TCPIP Default keep alive question Eileen Did you mean to alert us to the possibility that the *partner* TCP application may be using its own TCP keepalive service?

The range is 0 - 35 791 minutes, and the default is 120. A value of 0 disables the keepalive function, so that sockets for which SO_KEEPALIVE is specified do not perform TCP keepalive. In this case, sockets specifying a specific interval using TCP_KEEPALIVE continue to send keepalive probes. TCP keepalive probes end TCP connections after a period of inactivity. TCP keepalive is disabled by default for a connection, but can be enabled by issuing the SO_KEEPALIVE or TCP_KEEPALIVE socket options. The TCP_KEEPALIVE socket option enables the application to specify the keepalive probe interval, while the SO_KEEPALIVE socket option uses default_keepalive_interval as the interval. After the interval has expired, TCP sends a single keepalive probe to the peer. If the TCP_KEEPALIVE socket option is not used to specify the probe interval, a total of ten probes are then sent at 75-second intervals if no response is received from the

I think you need signwith(id(TN3270) label('TnServerCert')),
however, I have never tried signing a cert with itself, so I
don't know if this works.
Do others have a copy of this cert on their TN3270 clients,
or do they just accept a self-signed cert?
If they just accept the self-signed cert, just create a new
one.
Alternatively, you could create a signing cert with a long
End Date and use that to sign your cert. If the clients have
a copy of your cert, just give them a copy of your signig
cert to use as the CA for your TN3270 cert.

I have never tried it with an expired cert but have you tried to change

When creating certs I always change the expire date to something way out

I can't figure out why it says this certificate is not found, when I

I think you need signwith(id(TN3270) label('TnServerCert')),
however, I have never tried signing a cert with itself, so I
don't know if this works.
Do others have a copy of this cert on their TN3270 clients,
or do they just accept a self-signed cert?
If they just accept the self-signed cert, just create a new
one.
Alternatively, you could create a signing cert with a long
End Date and use that to sign your cert. If the clients have
a copy of your cert, just give them a copy of your signig
cert to use as the CA for your TN3270 cert.

Question concerning pre-mature uncatalog/delete of a tape file.
User complained the other day that we had destroyed one of their tapes. I ran a DAF report and sure enough TMS had scratched the tape and uncataloged the file. When the tape was originally created it was under catalog control so that TMS should not have trashed it. But as I look at the DAFRPT I see the EXPDT change from 99000 to 0 and back again. The last entry 5 days before TMS scratched showed Expdt=0. I would have thought that once a tape was created with Expdt=99000, then that field should have remained 99000. Or does 99000 have to be coded in the JCL each time the tape is used?

Re: SSL certificate renewal
My somewhat limited experience on this subject is that you cannot new an
expired certificate. Now that it's expired you must request a new certificate.

that is the purpose of renewing the certificate.

Yes - all my users receive the certificate, and that is why I had hoped to
renew it with the same key, so I would not have to send out a new cert to
all the users. It's looking more like I will have to generate a new
certificate and send it out.

HMC question on z9 (through listserver this time)
Ok, we just got a z9, and I'm browsing through the HMC stuff. I have accessed the HMC application through my web browser so I can capture some screen prints for updated documentation. While playing around, I tried to IPL my test system remotely. I got the message: The target does not have service status, but disruptive task is in service role. This cryptic message doesn't tell me much. Is it possible to IPL remotely or is that my problem? Thanks, -- Neal Elected officials should wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers.

CA-FAVER and SMS
Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone has run into this. We back up VSAM files (to DISK) using CA-FAVER 4.3 SP1. The output disk files get assigned a data class that is extended format (non-compressed). The block size being set for the output file is 27998, which appears to be bad for Extended format since there are 32bytes/block overhead for SMS. The current JCL has no DCB information for the output. I've tries DCB=BLKSIZE=0, but still get 27998. I can change the JCL to DCB=BLKSIZE=27966, but I'm wondering if there's any other way. I've been to the CA website, but it appears that FAVER is stabilized. Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks!

Yes I do (remember) , and know I didn't (have to make the change). No LU definition changes were needed. The only thing beyond the actual connectivity-related definitions was the addition of a default cross-domain COS table. Don't confuse APPN and APPC. APPC is LU_6.2 application support stuff. (That statement will probably cause those in the know to choke.) It is possible that Supersession now uses LU_6.2 sessions between multiple copies of itself and may require APPC=YES for that, but that has nothing to do with your migration to APPN.

Re: FTP Question
If you haven't customized the SBDATACONN parameter in the FTPDATA and FTSDATA configuration files, the default EBCDIC-ASCII conversion is FTP_STANDARD_TABLE, which for text uses a fixed translation table that pre-dates current code pages and uses 7-bit ASCII -- definitely not a one-to-one mapping, and a text file using all character codes on MVS is guaranteed data loss on round trip via FTP. I would recommend overriding the SBDATACONN default in FTPDATA and FTSDATA with something like SBDATACONN(IBM-1047,ISO8859-1) or perhaps using IBM-037 if you prefer the IBM-037 bracket and logical not conventions to IBM-1047. This gives a one-to-one translation, and a round trip via FTP can get you back to the original text file. I don't have the code sets in front of me, so can't be sure these handle the specific character codes in question as you want, but unless you are wanting a non-conventional translation, the odds are much better when you are dealing with an 8-bit target code set. You can test this out without changing current MVS FTP configuration by overriding your current MVS FTP SBDATACONN defaults: If the transfer is initiated by a client on MVS, before the PUT/GET issue FTP command LOCSITE SBD=(IBM-1047,ISO8859-1) If the transfer is initiated by a client on the UNIX system, before the PUT/GET issue the FTP command QUOTE SITE SBD=(IBM-1047,ISO8859-1) I'm not sure about z/OS 1.9, but on some earlier versions of z/OS the functioning of this conversion may be dependent on first configuring the Unicode conversion services to load the appropriate conversion tables for code sets IBM-1047 and ISO8859-1. I believe there are ways to totally replace the module that supplies the FTP_STANDARD_TABLE, but solutions based on built-in z/OS conversion support and standard code sets is a better approach.

If the same data, what is the disaster recovery scenario you're trying to solve? If site A fails and B recovers, then what is C for? (I'm assuming B and C are not connected. Or are they?)
