JES2 - keeping only selected outputs

2009-10-27 Thread Natasa Savinc
Hello,

is there a way to keep job output only if the RC  0 ? We have a nuber of jobs 
that run very often (every few minutes) and we don't really need the output if 
the RC = 0. 
Every suggestion will be very appreciated.

HCD jobs are some example. Output is directed to temporary file and 
conditional step (IEBGENER) which prinst the sysout. It worsk only for 
program sysouts, it doesn't keep JES* files.

I always thought it would have been more appropriately called a Speed
Reducing Buffer.  It didn't really match the speed of the device to the
speed of the channel, but only reduced the speed to 1.5 MB/second.  It was
pretty common to get overruns when doing I/O through the SMB.

Re: SCLM and ++include statements

Scott:
These Are a Panvalet product only.  This a possible way to handle them. Use 
your global editor to find (and replace) ++INCLUDE to copy ... This works some 
of the time. The issue is that IIRC the member name may be up to 10 characters 
which probably does not fit in most PDS's. I think what we did we found all the 
++ includes and sat down with a person from the group and renamed all e members 
to 8 chanacters and used PAN to export the to the desired members. This was a 
nice project for a junior person to do and the person from the team gave input. 
The project had its bumps but it worked 99 percent of the time.
Panvalet was OK for its day, I guess. I do remember them charging a pretty buck 
for the ISPF interface. We bought it but at the point we were also getting 
geared up to drop the product.

I want to thank all of you in advance who might respond to my questions.

I am currently running SCLM and have programs that have ++include statements 
imbeded in them to pull in file layouts, etc.

I can not find any SCLM documentation that talks about ++include statements.

Can anyone point me to any SCLM documentation that will talk about ++include 
statements?

Thank you,

If you have some type of automation, you can periodically start a batch job

It's in CBT file 183.

   CMDJ  Send a JES2 command with the current job's number  
 (must be authorized)   

 Example:   

//PURGEJOB EXEC PGM=CMDJES2,PARM=P  

 If the current job's number is JOB01234,

Kurt,

  We too, have a front-end in our build process to handle ++include members.  
I just wish there was a parser sample, not written in rexx, that we could 
compile and have sclm flag it at that time.  We did try the rexx sample a few 
years ago, and for one of the programs that has a large number of ++includes, 
the save in edit, went from 30 seconds to 5 minutes!

Re: JES2 - keeping only selected outputs

2009-10-27 Thread Lizette Koehler
Natasa,
Do you need to keep the JCL plus SYSOUT?  Or do you just need the sysout?

If just the sysout, then I would write it out to a temp file (or GDG if you
need it longer) and then use a last step to either print or purge.

If you need the whole job (JCL + SYSOUT) then the last step could be an SDSF
REXX step or you could just the JES2 PURGE command here.  

If you have an automation product like OPS/MVS then you could have the last
step be a WTO that OPS/MVS catches and purges if CC=0.

 We're talking mainframes, here!

This started on RACF-L, but since you asked here I will answer
here.

I have seen code that assumed the reply would be upper case,
and the console normally will upper case the reply. However
if the reply is in quotes, or is sent thru SVC 34 I think it
is sent asis.

The upper-casing is part of preparing the command for execution, so it would
not matter how it entered the system as far as I know.  But quoting the
operand would prevent the upper-casing, I think, and that would cause
problems (at least in this case).

The way I do it is to have a Jes output class defined with
outputdisp of purge,hold.  Have msgclass and all output in job assigned
to this class.  Then add a step to your job that checks for CC GT 0 and
if so exec a non-existent program to generate a S806 abend.

Memory creep.

Memory leak is a nice way of saying someone's coding practices are a
little shaky -- in particular, from my experience, what is produced by
certain compilers seem to not correctly cleanup after themselves forcing
PAPS to have to be rebooted.

 business data centers and one engineering data center at the time.
 Engineering was running a 3083 with VM/HPO5 for circuit simulation,
and
 circuit board design system for a time.  The disclaimer, ...if I
 remember is becoming more and more relevant.  Sorry for the
 misinformation.

GIMUNZIP failure

2009-10-27 Thread Chokalingam Thangavelu
Hi,

I have downloaded SMPPTFIN and SMPHOLD PAX file from ShopZseries which
contains PTFS required for measuring ZIIP workload along with GIMPAF.XML
and GIMPAF.XSL to my workstation then FTP to the HFS directory in OMVS
in Binary format. I have followed the above method as our firewall is
protected and am doing this first time.

I am getting below error message when I run GIMUNZIP job.
 
GIM49001S ** ARCHIVE smpptfin/s0001.shopz.s8788653.smpmcs.pax.Z COULD
NOT BE FOUND WITHIN THE DIRECTORY NAMED ON THE
 SMPDIR DD STATEMENT.


Please let me know what could be the reason for the failure and I am
thinking that I have uploaded GIMPAF.XML and GIMPAF.XSL files in Binary
format along with other package files. If this is wrong then let me know
what mode I should use while FTPing these files into OMVS.

Chokalingam Thangavelu

Re: big iron mainframe vs. x86 servers

2009-10-27 Thread Ken Porowski
SWATCH Internet time?

What is a Swatch .beat? 
We have divided up the day into 1000 .beats. So, one Swatch .Beat is
equivalent to 1 Minute 26.4 Seconds. 

Why use Internet Time? 
Internet Time exists so that we do not have to think about timezones.
For example, if a New York web-supporter makes a date for a chat with a
cyber friend in Rome, they can simply agree to meet at an @ time -
because internet time is the same all over the world.

Where is the Internet Time meridian? 
Biel Meantime (BMT) is the universal reference for internet time. A day
in internet time begins at midnight BMT (@000 Swatch .Beats) (Central
European Wintertime). 

The Meridian is marked for all to see on the facade of the Swatch
International headquarters on Jakob-Staempfli Street, Biel, Switzerland.

When did Internet Time start? 
The BMT Meridian was inaugurated on October 23rd, 1998, in the presence
of Nicholas Negroponte, founder and director of the media laboratory at
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Of interest to Developers

2009-10-27 Thread Mike At HammockTree
Please excuse a slightly off-topic message, but since a number of System z 
developers tend to follow this group, I thought this would be of general 
interest.


IBM has just announced the availability of their zPDT (System z Personal 
Development Tool) to qualifying members of IBM's PartnerWorld for 
Developers.  zPDT is a software based development system that IBM has been 
using internally for several years and is well tested and proven.  It runs 
on an Intel/Linux platform and can provide one to three processors (CP, IFL, 
zIIP, or zAAP).


I have teamed up with Stan King, ITC (Information Technology Company, LLC) 
to help bring  zPDT based systems to the development community.  We are 
still in the process of defining the exact configurations, but there will be 
a mobile (ThinkPad) version, a Midrange and a Enterprise version.  We 
are not ready to quote any performance numbers yet, but with the current 
Intel processor line, we expect performance to be very good.


For more information, you can check the ITC web site ( 
www.p390.com/zpdt.htm ) and the IBM PartnerWorld web site ( 
www.ibm.com/partnerworld ).  If you have any questions, feel free to email 
me off-list.

the zPDT is not intended for academia-related education purposes, not

You get that when you timeout from their website.  It started happening perhaps
a month or two ago.And you are correct that you can't logon from that panel.
I don't recall if I just have to close that window and open a new one at the

To test what?  Java or that the SMP/E unix files are part of the root?

For Java:  java -version is a good start

For the classes, if SMP/E came with serverpac, it is in the root. 
If you installed (upgraded) SMP/E after you installed serverpac, it should 
still be in the root unless you changed your DDDEFs and pointed
APPLY at different directories.  That is what I meant by the classpath
should be fine.   The OP is executing SMP/E and assuming z/OS unix
is even functional, the classpath he pointed to in both the DD and the
client parms should exist.

 All regarding my earlier inquiry can anyone correct me if I am wrong

 

I don't think you can have multiple open connections ( in the process of
read and writes ) on the same port/same ip ??

The (E)JES Workstation Component TCP/IP broker listens on a single port 
and, when a connection is handled, uses give/takesocket to hand the 
socket to a subtask and goes back to the listen loop. Later, the socket 
is given to the user's EWC server address space. We have multiple TCBs 
and multiple address spaces all sharing and doing concurrent read/write 
to the same IP/port. (At least it appears to be concurrent.)

Well, I don't want to say yes outright, since I don't know what makes you
ask.  The well known ports (21, 22, 80, 443, and the color purple) are all
just a front end.  Your TCP/IP subsystem forks it off to your server
application with a different port that that process listens on.  That way,
the original port (21, 22, 88, blue 42) can remain open for new
connections to be established.  The client then requests whatever data and
the connection is closed, the child dies, and the port is released back to
the assignable pool.

I'm not a TCP/IP engineer or one of those liberal elite computer
scientists but this is the general idea.

Re: EZASMI Concurrent Server cann't handle mutiple open connections in the same port

2009-10-27 Thread Joe Reichman
I got this error from Windows saying it couldn't create a CAsynSocket Class
for the same ip/port

Maybe if it open and closes the socket..


At work our shop is heavily XCOM based uses XCOM to submit JOBS from the PC
as we are VSE and in the process of converting to MVS (VSE HAVING not having
a built in edtitor)

 and it XCOM seems to be  single threaded only one connection on the port

But XCOM is an old VTAM application program though there TCP/IP suppourt
