Re: Looking for a job
For the record, the state-by-state U.S. unemployment rates for September were released yesterday, and South Dakota has the second lowest unemployment rate. (North Dakota has the lowest.) Iowa's unemployment rate is well below the U.S. national average. To the original poster: McMaster-Carr (in the near western suburbs of Chicago) may still be looking to fill a z/OS System Programmer vacancy, with relocation assistance likely available. There was a post to IBM-MAIN about that, but you can find McMaster-Carr here: http://www.mcmaster.com Click on the Careers link at the bottom for contact information. They also have primary distribution centers in Los Angeles, Cleveland, Atlanta, and New Jersey. Perhaps it would be possible to work in one of those cities, physically remote from their mainframe and Chicago office.

Re: big iron mainframe vs. x86 servers
The big advantages of the IBM mainframe architecture have always been application upward compatibility, I/O throughput, and RAS (reliability, availability, and serviceability). Application upgrade compatibility requires both hardware instruction set upward compatibility and software system interface upward compatibility. Intel has made some significant strides in recent years in terms of hardware instruction set upward compatibility, but Microsoft's software system interface upward compatibility is a joke. Windows release boundaries have been invariably disastrous, and service packs have been little better. I/O throughput on z System z processor complex is second to zone. No PC I/O architecture can come close to the throughput exhibited by a small System z processor complex. A large System z processor complex is in a universe all its own. IBM RAS (reliability, availability, and serviceability), developed and evolved over 45 years, is second to none, and RAS is what keeps businesses in business. For sheer number crunching, I might pick an IBM Power[n] box. If I want to go on the cheap, I might pick an Intel box. For transactional processing involving vast databases, anything other than a System z processor complex is irresponsible. Give that staggering number of financial transactions processed on a daily basis, over 90% of which is done on large-scale IBM mainframes, is it not strange that you have never heard of a mainframe virus? IBM RAS and IBM Security (whether implemented via IBM RACF, CA ACF/2, CA-Top Secret Security, or some other External Security manager (ESM)) is what keep these systems running. John P.

Re: Health Checker setup
First of all, many thanks for the tips until now. As a matter of fact I do have a question opened on CA Forum ( npt a problem opened ) as I thought it was a trivial question and there should be many ( some ) specialists checking that list. I was wrong as I am receiving more info on this List that is mainly MVS oriented than the other one on CA. Sad but true! As it was a kind of fashioned thread about an year ago I thought I would find a document around the internet with the transleted steps ( wrong again :-) ). Anyway, many thanks to all that responded back to this request for help!!! Avelino.

Would anybody know if there is an e-mail address > where I can register my complaint? Does DELL send their correspondance in > Spanish? Thanks. Ah, Dell's Indian "support". Lots of experience with that. A couple of approaches: 1) When dealing with the Indian support people, don't allow them to waste your time - something they seem to be trained to do. Tell them right up front that your time is limited, and this call needs to be handled completely in five minutes. When it's not dealt with in that time, insist firmly that you must speak with a supervisor. No need to shout or whine, just firmly demand. Don't talk about anything else except transferring your call to the supervisor or manager. Generally I've dealt with them on technical issues (broken hardware), and until I got smart, the call would go something like: [establish machine type and service tag] Me: I have a DVD drive with a failure code :, and I need to get it replaced. Them: OK - please Me: But it's a hardware problem, and I already have the failure code from the standalone Dell diagnostic program. [iterate 5 or 6 times] Them: You will have to reinstall Windows. Do you have the CDs? Me: How will reinstalling Windows fix this hardware problem? Them: Well maybe you are right, but we have to be sure, so please reinstall Windows Me: There is no reason I should wipe out my perfectly good Windows installation when the problem is a defective DVD drive! Why can't you just send me a new drive? Them: Yes sir, but I have my procedures I must go through, and [iterate some more - generally takes 1 to 1.5 hours in total] Them: OK - we have determined that this is a hardware problem with your DVD drive. Me: @#$! Them: Now you have next business day coverage, so we will be sending this out on Tuesday, and it should arrive by Thursday at the latest. Me: Thursday? But it's Friday today! Them: No sir, it is Saturday, and weekend is not business days. We are shipping on next business day, but we cannot control when it will arrive. Me: It may be Saturday in Bangalore, but it's Friday here in Toronto. I want the drive on Monday. And even if it was Saturday, why wouldn't you ship on Monday? Why Tuesday? Them: long content-free non-answer about shipping and couriers and such. [etc. etc.] Drive eventually arrives on Wednesday. Now I just refuse to engage with them on the silly stuff. There's no point arguing over the ship date and such, and I start right off by telling them politely but firmly that I have a strictly hardware problem, I will not be performing any experiments with Windows, I am an IT professional - not a home user, my time is very limited and the call should take no longer than 5 minutes to resolve. Of course it goes over, and I again refuse to engage on the details, but insist on going up a level. Usually the next guy is sufficiently anxious to get himself out of the loop that he tells the first guy to just send the replacement hardware. OK - even better than all this is to avoid India completely. It's not true that there is no local support; do you think that a Big 5 bank who's just bought 1000 laptops gets their calls routed to Bangalore, and gets told to reinstall Windows? No - they get local support. Unfortunately they know from your service tag that you aren't RBC or TD, and off to India you go. So two ways to avoid that: 2) For administrative stuff, you may be able to do it all online. When it works, it works fairly well, and you can get both tech doc, and warranty info online. You can even transfer ownership of a machine if you sell it to someone. It beats talking to any of their people at all. 3) Go through sales rather than support. If you bought a machine online, there still seems to be a sales person in the loop - the trick is getting his or her name. It should be on the invoice, or at least there will be a sales contact number on it. Once you get the sale person, no matter how much of a junior order-taker on the line, don't let them fob you off to support. Insist that this is a sales problem, not a support issue. If you bought over the phone in the first place, you should already know who sold it to you. If you bought from a retail store (I'm no
ServerPac Management Questions
Hi All, Just had a few questions regarding how other people are managing ServerPacs. How can you apply 2 different configurations to the same installation order. For z/OS, our Test and Production LPARs have slightly different configurations. We have separate spool, checkpoint, page, & catalog volumes for Production but share these on Test. What I've been doing is performing the installation for Test and saving the configuration to CONFIG.SCPPSENU and CONFIG.SCPPTENU. I then make copies of these and make changes to the configuration for Production. Is there a way to have 2 different configurations apply to the same order? Also, we currently reinstall a new set of ServerPac libraries whenever we get a new ServerPac for DB2, CICS, or z/OS. Each version of a product is managed by a different set of ServerPac libraries. Do other sites just upgrade one set of ServerPac libraries and manage all DB2, CICS, z/OS installs from the same set? Is there an advantage to doing it this way? Thanks.

Re: Is it possible to put 2 subnets on 1 phy osa card
I seem to recall a 'Hot Topic' about this a while back. Try that resource. To answer your question: yes, it is possible. With static routing, you specify which adapter to use for outbound to various IP address(es). With dynamic routing, the first hop router supplies the list of address ranges.

Health Checker setup
Hi gurus, good morning! I know that it is not the best place to post this ( and I apologize for that ) but I tried the "CA Online Forum" without any success. On a recent past I setup the z/OS Health Checker using RACF without any problems. Anyway, I was requested to do the same under a set of LPARS that are secured by ACF2. I tried to search on Google, SHARE and some other sources and could not find any document that has the security setup for ACF2 as we have for RACF. So, what I am trying to find is any document that has the equivalent commands to setup the tool as I am pretty dummy to ACF2.. Any direction is welcome!

Elardus, I tried that as well, needless to say that I haven't heard from them. In the future, before I buy anything I will do my homework.

Re: OFF TOPIC - DELL CUSTOMER SUPPORT
I don't know much about US law and even less about Canada Law, but I found this: "A Federal law in Canada regulates the use of bilingual packaging across the country. Inside the province of Quebec a provincial legislation regulates bilingual labels and packages, as well as instructions inside the package, brochures, catalogues, etc. As a rule of thumb, French must be there and as Prominent' as the English copy. In Quebec, the rules regarding POP Materials are a little more complicated. If it is in French only, you are safe. If not, check the provincial regulations or consult a Quebec lawyer." I cannot speak to the validity of the quoted material. I only suggest that Canadian law may be the root of your problem. If that is true, then it computes that support folks would be even more clueless than normal. The Google search words were "Canada law French". -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of esmie moo Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 8:26 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: OFF TOPIC - DELL CUSTOMER SUPPORT Good Morning Gentle Readers, Please forgive me for my post but I didn't know who or where to turn to.

Re: IEFSD095 Alias
I guess that goes some way to explain it. I don't have the alias on z/OS 1.8. We have just migrated to z/OS 1.10 and I have a user getting errors calling IEFSD095. IEFSD095 is (and always has been) an alias of an in-house written block character routine (that pre-dates me). Obviously they are now finding the new alias shipped with z/OS 1.0 rather than our in-house routine which is further down the linklist. I guess I need to see why IBM are now shipping this.

OFF TOPIC - DELL CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Good Morning Gentle Readers, Please forgive me for my post but I didn't know who or where to turn to. Recently I bought a laptop from Dell. All is well however, they keep sending me the paper work (including the warranty) in French. Despite my numerous calls to their not so attentive Customer support this problem continues. Since there is no Customer Support in Canada, the call is routed to India. They told me that if I want an English document (in this case the warranty) I have to download it. I tried the U.S. Customer Support (call routed to India) and they told me to call the Customer Support for Canada. I checked the DELL website to see if there is a complaints department in the U.S. to my disbelief there is none. Would anybody know if there is an e-mail address where I can register my complaint? Does DELL send their correspondance in Spanish? Thanks. __ Yahoo! Canada Toolbar: Search from anywhere on the web, and bookmark your favourite sites.

Re: Looking for a job
Here are couple of links. I here IBM is looking for about 1300 people to live and work in Dubuque Iowa. Must be having a difficult time, I've been getting several emails a week about these jobs for about a month and a half. Unfortunately I've been told that if you're not raised in that type of climate, you'd probably find it depressing.

Re: wto buffer shortage and "k q' cmnd no longer works.
Just to be sure this is clear, the 'K Q,L=consolename' command can still be issued from an EMCS console, in case you're trying to clear MCS or SMCS buffers from an EMCS console. You just can't use it to clear the EMCS console buffers.

Re: Daylight Saving Time changes effect on CICS Transaction Server
Why hasn't IBM fixed the time change issues? Have IBM's customers made it a high priority requirement? Will IBM make a profit by fixing it? Why fix it when it only happens twice a year? -Original Message- Surely there is a good reason why IBM hasn't fixed this obvious problem for so very long, but I can't figure out what it is. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: Daylight Saving Time changes effect on CICS Transaction Server
Agreed--or at least periodically check to see if the timezone has changed. Or even better, listen for the ENF that indicates that the local timezone offset changed. Of course applications may still have local time issues, but system-level things shouldn't. Surely there is a good reason why IBM hasn't fixed this obvious problem for so very long, but I can't figure out what it is.
