I think that you will find that the SE service console is still active. 
Just go visually verify it.

I think it is telling you that the processor you are trying to work on is in 
Service Status. Have you had an engineer working on the hardware and left it in 
service status?

The CPC icon should have a coloured background. If you click on the icon you 
should see a tab saying acceptable status. Does the coloured background match 
the Service one?

You might need to have your CE take the processor out of service mode..

Re: New ShopzSeries service

[David Booher]

My problem was that I was using an older 1.6 system that didn't have the 
/usr/lpp/smp/classes.

For my 1.6 system, I can use the FTP/GIMUNZIP followed by the usual SMP 
RECEIVE. 
For my 1.7 system, I have it working with SMP RECIEVE FROMNTS using those the 
SMP Java classes. 

It seems to be working.  Our shop still provides support for our products on 
z/OS 1.4 thru z/OS 1.10, so these older LPARs are still around.  As long as I 
have a way to get the traditional SMPPTFIN file, then I'm OK. 

Thanks to all for your help.

However, the PATH varies unpredictably from release to release,
so you're likely to get a JCL error.  Then you need to experiment
trial-and-error until it works (unless the CPAC job is supersmart
and does the probing for you.)  Worse, if you use a DDDEF in SMP/E,
you may get a failure with no explanation.  Use the JCL DD.

I had believed that RECEIVE FROMNTS works even if the resources

You do not have to have a "CRYPTO" card to start ICSF.
Just define the VSAM datasets (PKDS, CKDS, TKDS), build the proc,
do the RACF rules, and fire it up. It will tell you that you don't have
the card, but will still initialize. We run it that way on one of
systems.

"Permanent" refers to the permanent (base) capacity setting of your CEC.
"emporary" includes the additional temporary (On/Off Capacity on Demand)
capacity. The first of those tripels refers to the current configuration,
i.e. including both On/Off CoD and Capacity Backup (CBU) or Planned Event
capacity. 
The identifier is the (usually three digit) model number (such as 724 or Z02
on a BC machine), and the rating is the MSU rating. 
If you have nether OOOCoD nor CBU/PE records activated the three fields are
the same.
These are CPC-values and do not reflect defined capacity/group caps. Take a
look at SYSEVENT REQLPDAT, mapped by IRALPDAT, if you look for those data.

When you are in SE, you can do a CC on the first line you want and a CC on the 
last. Then on the command line, do a CREATE and you will get a dialog box. Just 
like in EDIT.

If you want everything, then get in the list of sysouts for the job and do an 
XDC to the left of the one you want. You again get a dialog box asking you for 
the name, size, and DCB characteristics you want the output file to have. The 
XDC will create the file, copy the data, then close the file. If you want 
multiple sysouts in a single file, do an XD on the first to get the dialog box. 
Then do an X on all the rest, except for the very last sysout. On the very last 
sysout, do an XC which will copy the sysout, then Close it. That will copy each 
sysout to the file in the order in which you did the X commands.

Re: STSI instruction question

[Martin Packer]

Hi John!

They are NOT secret, they're already in Type 70 SMF - as cut by RMF. And 
have been for some time.

They relate to the increased flexibility of "Capacity On Demand" offerings 
available with System z10.

Now, perhaps someone with more expertise in this area can chip in.

(Unsurprisingly I see these three pairs of numbers as all the same in all 
the (many) customer sets of z10 data I've looked at.)

I take it from a bit of reading that these are values which are "hard

Re: New ShopzSeries service

You do not have to have a "CRYPTO" card to start ICSF.
Just define the VSAM datasets (PKDS, CKDS, TKDS), build the proc,
do the RACF rules, and fire it up. It will tell you that you don't have
the card, but will still initialize. We run it that way on one of systems.

//SMPJHOME DD  PATH='/usr/lpp/java/J6.0/'   <=== works with J1.4 or

//SMPCPATH DD  PATH='/usr/lpp/smp/classes/'

Very interesting.  I was interested in the last paragraphs that gave
some figures on cost of software vs. savings.

In a relatively small mainframe shop, it might cost $250,000 a year to
license zPrime, and it could cost $8m to $10m per year on a big box. But
the savings can be substantial. On one large deal that Neon is working
on, the company calculates that using zPrime to defer hardware upgrades,
cut maintenance fees, and lower software rental fees could save that
prospective customer $100m over a two-year period.

That's real money, and you have to figure that IBM, and therefore its
lawyers, must be hopping mad.

This is dreadful!  If the comparison doesn't work as expected,
IBM's out is to say you broke the rules, but they provide no
error message.

And nearby:

17.1.4.5 "z/OS V1R11.0 MVS JCL Reference"
17.1.4.5 Relational-Expression Keywords

   The following keywords are the only keywords supported by IBM and 
recommended for use
   in relational-expressions. Any other keywords, even if accepted by the 
system, are not
   intended or supported keywords.

And elsewhere nearby:

17.1.9 Considerations when Using the IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF Construct

 * You can specify symbolic parameters on IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF statements 
provided that
   they resolve to one of the supported relational-expression keywords 
listed in the
   preceding topic (that is, RC, ABEND, ...). Any other symbolic 
parameters, even if
   accepted by the system, are not intended or supported.

So,

//  SET X='STEP.RC'
//  IF (&X=4) THEN

is apparently supported, but:

//  SET Y=4
//  IF (STEP.RC=&Y) THEN

is unsupported.

Both the JCL parser and the doc should mutually be revised so that
all constructs "accepted by the system" are described as "supported"
and/or constructs not described as "supported" such as the OP
attempted result in JCL errors.

A BNF syntax diagram would be useful here.

Re: Symbolic variables

It actually works with non-numerics - as long as the value is a valid 
return code. You can try with U, U0004 and U0008 instead of A, B and C.

Joel C. Ewing wrote:

More explicitly, the JCL reference manual states:
"Use comparison operators in a relational-expression to compare a
keyword with a numeric value."

This doesn't directly address the special case where two numeric values
(after substitution)  are being compared - in fact nowhere is it stated
that comparison of two values where neither is a keyword is a legal
syntax, although we know from empirical evidence it works with two
numerics.

The manual does imply rather strongly that the JCL IF/THEN/ELSE
relational operators work with numeric values only, not character
strings; and this interpretation is re-enforced by the lack of a syntax
for defining a character string constant.

Since string constants are not supported for these statements, the JCL
interpreter would attempt to parse "A", "B", or "C" operands to a
relational operator as a keyword and fail.  So Birger is technically
correct in referring to this as an unacceptable "keyword", although this
explanation is confusing since the user obviously intended these to be
interpreted as string constants.

The inclusion of the always-true "STEPNULL.RC= 0 AND" portion of the
statements is irrelevant as to whether the statement is acceptable.

PSF reports it within the AFP version of the type-6 SMF record -- impressions.

It's accuracy varies, but you can calibrate it.

Re: SMF Image counts and physical page counts

[Ted MacNEIL]

>Look at SMF records 6 and 26.

Unfortunately, for non-PSF, the page counts are not entirely accurate.
For one, extra separator pages are not collected (IIRC, even the first ones 
aren't).
For another, it isn't physical pages that are counted.
Rather, it's 'skip to channel 0' that's counted -- depending on the form -- 
there can/may be more than one per physical page.

For PSF (AFP), there are some issues with logical vs physical, especially with 
2-up, 4-up (etc) and duplexed print.

Depending on the complexity of the form/overlay, your accuracy can vary.

The only accurate measure is the meter (on 3800's or later), but there is no 
api (that I know of).

If you're using it for billing/chargeback, it might be good enough, if you do 
some calibration before hand.

If you're doing it for throughput modelling, your better off using print times 
rather than lines, pages, impressions, or feet.
Even that has a few issues due to buffers and how long before the SMF record is 
written after the output has been purged.

But those don't show physical counts. That would require that the printer 
itself send information back to the system. For instance, when you duplex, that 
is one physical page but two "impressions" or "image counts". And other 
printers can do multiple up which place multiple pages on a single physical 
piece of paper. There is no what that I know of to get this information from 
SMF.

SMF Image counts and physical page counts

[Herring, Bobby]

Does anyone know of a way to obtain image counts and physical page
counts from SMF records? We've looked at file1 on the CBT tape and
didn't see anything that looked like it would collect printer statistics
from SMF.

We are at z/OS 1.10.

.-Now the JOBA is NOT being started.


Another test

That's about what I dld.  But I left out the "cat" which is

It's what I put in the APAR.  Will they reject the ETR because

Is OY58953 the correct place to keep the doc of this message?
Nowadays, if LOOKAT doesn't find it, I deem it missing.

Re: Little bit OT IBM & Air NZ outage report to stay Top Secret

[Staller, Allan]

Reference the previous thread that appeared at the initial announcement
of the outage.

Sounds to me like the ANZ exec that shot his mouth off got his foot
stuck in it. 

It would not be in IBM's interest to upset said executive by revealing
his incompetence to all!

 Just to answer David's questions:




I haven't looked at Systems/C for a while. It gives you everything 
Metal/C provides but with a complete runtime, and I prefer the syntax 
for inlining assembler to the GCC clobber list syntax that Metal/C uses. 
IIRC, the runtime is statically linked. It would be nice if it could 
optionally be loaded dynamically (DLL) to reduce the size of the load 
modules.


  Systems/C does offer a way to dynamically load the runtime and/or
 your own packages of routines.  Contact me off-list for the technical
 details.

  The upcoming release also has features to aide in SMP/E maintenance
 of those packages.



 The big value add for me was the cross-compiler which was

lightning fast compared to compiling in batch or USS.



 Yes - people are usually rather surprised at the savings
 in time/effort in a cross-compile environment.

 Also - it's important to note that Systems/C offers "IBM mode",
 so you can cross-compiler your IBM programs and compile them
 "just like" the IBM compiler (not METAL-C, "regular" LE IBM C/C++.)

 So - you can take advantage of a cross-compilation system for building
 IBM-runtime-based programs.


Are Systems/C and Systems/C++ different products?



 Not really - Systems/C++ is an "add-on" to the Systems/C
 product (you can't get Systems/C++ without Systems/C.)

 It's positioned as a separate product to reduce costs for those
 people who don't need C++.

 Also, the Systems/C++ compiler is a different compiler than the
 Systems/C compiler.  The two compilers share common components
 (optimizer, codegen, etc..) , but have different front-end parsers.

Just to let anyone know about this that may be interested. 

Position is in Tallahassee, Florida and it is a state job.

 

Watch the wrap;

st&ERFormCode=3.502021613167675

 

Click on 'Computer and Electronics', then look for System Programmer III
in DC - Corrections. Under vacancy name, it is listed as 'NETWORK SYSTEM
& DATA COMMUNICAT ANALYST', near the bottom of the page. Don't know why
it is listed under Network, but it is a z/OS position. 

 

Thanks,

Claude
