One of the HSM manuals gives a PATCH command that can be included in ARCCMDxx to alter the interval to a longer interval length, but if you are doing this to reduce HSM CPU and I/O overhead during peak load periods, the interval adjustment method has the disadvantage of starting when HSM is started - and if that varies so does the time-of-day at which Interval Migration will occur. To get around those limitations we went back to the 1 hour default and used automation to turn on INTERVAL MIGRATION just before the specific hour ticks we want it to run, and then turn it back off just before the following hour tick. -- Joel C.

Re: FTP PUT RECFM=FBM files
Donald Very much due to John McKown, ways of dealing with the perceived problem have been suggested. Following up on the subsequent posts, although I am sure many contributors and observers are aware of what the "M" - or "A" - in the RECFM parameter is all about, I see that it has not been spelled out precisely in such a way that any possible misunderstandings are dispelled. Peter Hunkeler came the closest and also - perhaps as prompted by Paul Gilmartin - provided sample IEBGENER control statements which make clear that, when using the IEBGENER utility, merely having an input file with RECFM=FBM or RECFM=FBA - or any of the other combinations ending in "M" or "A" - with an output file which does not have the supposedly offending "M" or "A" present in the RECFM parameter will *not* cause the character to be removed. It will, in fact, merely hide from any person or programming, who/which might care to know, that there is a carriage control character present - in the opinion of whoever or whatever created the RECFM information. It is sufficient to note that it is necessary to copy the record length unchanged from the input file to the output file.[1] Going even a little bit further than Peter - the FTP ASATRANS option[2] apart - I would say that the *only* significance of the "M" or the "A" at the end of the RECFM parameter characters is for when the file is in the process of being printed. The software responsible for the printing operation actually pays attention to whether the first character represents a "machine" control character, "M", or an "American Standards Association" (ASA) character, "A". If it is "M", in the days when everybody used the IBM printers of the '60s and '70s, the software did the software equivalent of a whoop and a holler and simply placed the character at the beginning of the channel command word (CCW) which passed the print line text - if any - to the printer. The M character was grist to the 1403 N1's mill! On the other hand, the software would become somewhat irritated by having to deal with the ASA character since the "standard" operated in precise opposition to the way those old IBM printers liked to operate - at least as indicated by the CCW codes and, given the technology of the time recalling that any machine with a model number starting with 14 dated from at the latest the early '60s, almost certainly the printer logic itself. Thus the simplest option for the software driving a printer under the instruction of the ASA control code for carriage movement would set up two CCWs, one a translation of the carriage movement and one to print the text line without carriage movement - or vice versa, I forget now which way round it goes. Naturally cleverer software would combine the print line from record N with the carriage movement implied by record N+1 or N-1 whichever way round it is - with special considerations for the first and last records as necessary. Thus "A" used to be very fiddly compared with "M". I promised to remove all possibilities for misunderstanding so let me make one more point: the RECFM characters have quite different "weights". As we saw the "M" and the "A" apply only when the file is to be printed. On the other hand the "F" and the "V" - and the "U" - the former two with or without "B" are of great significance for each time the file is read or written - with QSAM. Chris Mason [1] I guess the record length could be changed - I've never tried it - knowingly! - but I expect that any truncation would happen at the *end* of the record. [2] Something about which I have learned in this thread - but I'm a bit puzzled over what actually it might be doing.

Re: z/OS ServerPac Product Prerequisite
Jim makes a good point, one which I did not know. However, here's what happened to me. I ordered 5655-S28 through ShopzSeries on Oct 6, and requested a license on our CPU by serial number. The order was sent to the "order center", and was electronically delivered a few days later. After reading Jim Elliott's post, I checked "My licensed software". I now have a NON-system-specific license for 5655-S28 AND 5655-S29. I believe what happened is that when the order made its trip through the "order center", the representative, without ever needing to contact me, took care of what I needed.

I am not sure since I never used system group and now work in a different area. My replacement is on vacation so I can't look over his shoulder at the panels but I thought you had to specify the system names in the group.

The message you are seeing is probably "home grown" from the ACS routines. But you bring up another consideration. If you were to rename your sysplex, you need to check the SMS base configuration to see if it is being done by LPAR name (SYSTEM) or SYSPLEX name (SYSGRP) or a combination. If it is being done by sysplex, you want to add the new name prior to changing the sysplex name. I've had to go through this when renaming an LPAR (which is actually worse than renaming a sysplex).

In a production environment I would think the biggest issue would be related to logstreams as Barbara suggested. You can't carry them forward from the old sysplex to the new sysplex, so you better get any data you need from them prior to the change and your application better be able to handle a cold start for its logstream(s). So even if you are just using OPERLOG and LOGREC and you want that data, dump them prior to the change. RRS shouldn't be an issue if you come down clean. Even though this is a hypothetical question, if you are looking for the actual steps that I did when I renamed a sandbox sysplex, I posted them on February 28, 2008. It didn't include Ed's step of renaming data sets with the sysplex name in it because there were none in the sandbox LPAR because it was a monoplex. I supposed in addition to renaming data sets that may reference the sysplex name, you also have to make sure any STC JCL doesn't have the sysplex name hard coded and the same with parms (hopefully they all use the &SYSPLEX symbol).

Re: Changing SYSPLEX name
Hello David, I've did this one time, even though it was only a monoplex system. Apart from the responses I've seen so far: - I believe you need to recreate / reformat your RMF datasets. - We did initial start of cics regions (because of redefining logstreams?) - Perhaps some rexx / clists doing things based on your sysplex name ? - Check RACF profiles (even though I cannot remember anything in there with sysplex name) - Remember to save/reload your WLM policy since you have to redefine the WLM cds aswell - switch your logrec to sys1.logrec if you have it to writing to logstream so that you can first redefine your logrec logstream. - If you have TWS check for special resources that have sysplex name - If you use system automation check the policies for use of the sysplex name.

Re: Monitor lpr printer on Windows from Mainframe
Thanks Linda and Jim, I have asked the VPS admin to take a look at exit08. We are on VPS V2 R10 and I also saw a note in the manual that stated: The printer keyword ERTABMEM and corresponding error table can replace similar functions performed by VPS User Exit 08. So he is going to check this out as well. While I was waiting, I was also able to come up with a jcl routine that issued an LPQ to the printer and with some rexx code extract the status of the printer. I then used our mainframe Control-M scheduler to execute the jcl and either stop or start the printer via VPS if the printer was not available. I used a Control-M condition to keep tabs of the status of the printer. So far it seems to be working and will do until the exit or ERTABMEM can be implemented. Thanks for all comments, Gil.

ISPF caches the members TTR. After a compress that will be no longer valid. Let the users logoff and logon again. That should fix the problem.

Both can be setup in a grid configuration (3-way now and 4-way from the 1.5 code that will be released next month). Both will satisfy your off site requirements. The replication can be synchronous or asynchronous, where synchronous means that the tapedata will be replicated at CLOSE time, not earlier. The difference is in the details: the TS7720 is disk-only, so has no backend physical tapes and therefor superfast mounttimes for all virtual tapes, but the configuration is limited. The TS7740 has backend physical tapes, so has much more capacity, but longer mount times for virtual tapes, that must be recalled from the physical tapes into the cache. The physical tapes are in the box and you don't need to care about them. Kees. ** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
