Re: Invoke OMVS TSO session
What makes you think there is a batch job started? UNIX processes (e.g. ls) inititated from another process (e.g. your shell session) may be run in another address space. A BPXAS address space will be started, if there currently is no idle BPXAS that could run your command.

Re: ServerPac Management Questions
Vinson Lee pisze: 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.

Re: DFHSM QUESTION - MANAGEMENT CLASS
You can execute a IEBGENER to force an open/close and set the DSORG to PS. DFHSM will then be able to backup the data set and then you can migrate it to ML2. You can always issue a migrate to ML1 after you perform the GENER and DFHSM will handle everything from that point on. I would recommend reviewing your activity information for other errors and fixing any problem data sets. If you have these 5, then you probably have others. DFHSM will make three attempts to perform the necessary action, backup, migrate, etc based upon the management class attributes and your space management cycles.

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. Just for the sake of history, IEFSD095 was around back in MVT days and is the IBM Block Letter CSECT of data which was used for banner pages. Eastern Airlines did a whole bunch of mods to MVT (hey, in source form) and created EALSD095 which contained the data for special characters. In general this module would not get called, but one would issue a LOAD instruction to get the module available to use its data. This CSECT sometimes replaced the IBM IEFSD095 as a user mod. The program you mention being used may have its roots in some code I put onto the SHARE tape and later is now in the CBT tape to put block letter pages on output which was handy when using microfiche. You can review these in CBT file 316 if my memory serves me. Many of the programs started in the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and came my way in the Pentagon via the Goddard MODS tape and then we used them as a basis for doing other things with EALSD095.

Re: Looking for a job
I am currently looking for a full time Mainframe System Programmer job in New York/New jersey, San Jose, Dallas area. I am open to other locations. I have about 10+ years of experience in Mainframes. My current shop has started to migrate off the mainframe platform and its getting depressing working in that environment. Here is some food-for-thought. Why be depressed and probably it shows. I would view this as a tremendous opportunity to see a conversion in action. I would even support it fully and help them with all the challenges. Indeed if all the challenges can be overcome, then it can be contended, the move was indeed a good one. No one likes a non-team player. One does not have to agree with the strategy to play and give it your best. Face reality, this is going to happen and if one learns of all their challenges, then you will be much wiser in the long run. Here a few year ago, the move was to outsource a major application to private industry. My reaction was COOL, let me help really. Then I would ensure everyone knew all the services we were providing and they were expected to provide these too. A z9BC upgrade was denied (machine power will decrease 75% in 14 months) until I showed them I could detune the machine and drop our costs in 14 months. I asked the customer to go with me to the CFO and break the news that in 14 months the CFO could have all these savings and could program the savings elsewhere. The customer balked and my question was, so in 14 months you will not be off the mainframe?. They were not THAT certain and would not head up so they let me upgrade if I just laid low for 14 months. In the end it all fell apart and it is time for another UPgrade. Yes, you can look around for a new job but take all the advantages of what you can learn now about what is the plan, cost of the plan, time frame projected and sit in on the progress. Then sit back and watch the trials and tribulations. I'd get close to the major customer and be supportive as heck as to the rationale for this, maybe reduce cost, and then you too might be incredulous at the notion it is more expensive. In the military I always supported my senior officers crazy ideas or not and in the end, learned a bunch about how things can be done and how one does not want to do things; but I was a supporter of the Colonel even if it lead to him/her being fired. Then in the end, I knew where all the bodies were buried and could pick up all the pieces. In the present world to think z/OS is the only systems places will run is not going to happen. Here I have the data on z/OS and applications running on Windows Servers (COOL). Maybe they want to run the application on z/OS and data on Windows (COOL) although I ask to tell me how they are going to do Disaster Recovery for the data??? If they want to have a 4-Core Intel Blade to do something, GO-FOR-IT although maybe I could supply a Virtual Linux Server for $0 because I already have the one license I need. Getting side tracked away from z/OS for a few years is not something where you will be left way behind. z/OS is still MVS souped up and in many case easier (just more of it). So opportunity is KNOCKING and make the most of it until you find the right job and leave with everyone being sad you are departing. The next place may give you the chance to integrate Windows or Linux into your z/OS operation and you are already 2 miles ahead of the z/OS staff who want to stay in their own little world. Make the best and get the most out of what you are dealt; it pays off in the long haul.

I built mine around the theory that you PC is only as fast as the slowest piece of hardware (CD, disk drive, video, etc.) So the moral of the story do not SKIMP on your hardware.

Exactly what I do. And you don't get all the bloatware either. I usually order a CPU / MBO combo and let the provider do that part (put the CPU on the mbo). I've also ordered bare bones systems (CPU/MBO/CASE+FANS). The biggest PITA of building yourself is connecting all the case connectors to the motherboard and mounting the motherboard. When I upgrade (about every 2 years), I usually stay 1 processor speed lower than the top model CPU (I use AMD) and it only costs a couple of hundred dollars.

Actually, my first drive was SCSI. I could get a 40MB Seagate SCCI drive with the controller cheaper than I get could an RLL which was just coming out at the time.

Re: OFF TOPIC - DELL CUSTOMER SUPPORT
I do the same and build my own PCs. By collecting the parts over a couple months of sales, I save a lot of money over buying a built system and I don't have to fight with the Help Desk. I often reuse/scrounge cases and I run the case fans until they drop - but I also have an extra, temp controlled case fan in every case . When a fan gets too noisy or just quits, I can DC it and replace it when convenient. Good power supplies are a must IMHO. A cheap one we had, just past its warranty, took out the MOBO in my son's PC. I also stay off the 'top shelf'. Too expensive to buy a top of the line MOBO/CPU. When something breaks, I fix/replace it.

Re: OFF TOPIC - DELL CUSTOMER SUPPORT
I stopped suggesting that people build their own PC's, because they invariably ask me for help. One thing for me, though, is that I stopped using desktops around 2002, when I went to college. You can't really build a laptop (it'd be more of a loltop) and I've become super evangelical with regards to Apple's laptops. Nothing else gives better value and quality for the $$. There's OS X. Plus the maglock power cable = no more busted motherboard after tripping over the cable. And the battery now has a (roughly) 5-year lifetime (dependent on recharges). And! It's got gizmos that detect if the laptop is off balance and locks your HD in place (and has for 6 years now). This is cool because you can turn your MacBook into a light saber and the embarrassment will cause troublesome girlfriends to leave the room. Also, Steve Jobs' reality distortion field causes you to furiously hit your browser's refresh button for two hours at work, 2-3 times a year, during the keynote speeches where they show you what you can't afford. Truly gratifying. Scott #2 On Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 11:04 AM, Scott Rowe scott.r...@joann.com wrote: When it comes to PCs, I just order the parts and build it myself, it certainly not rocket science.
