WLM classification of UNIX work - "problem"
I have a problem on z/OS 1.10. I run two types of UNIX work. The first is batch job work which fork()'s. The second is interactive work such as TSO OMVS or Telnet. Unfortunately, WLM has no way that I can find to assign said work to different service classes. I wish that the fork()'ed address space would inherit the WLM service class of the (careful!) fork()'er. Am I missing something in WLM? One example: a test UNIX job's child processes will run in the same service class as a production job's, unless I classify via jobname. But my TELNET jobname is the same as the FTP jobname (ftp coming in from desktop). And they are the same as what I start my batch job names with (I use the old time userid+character for ease of use of SDSF).

Removing BINS from RMM
This seems like a pretty common exercise but I can’t find any meaningful information on it. We have an offsite location that was bin managed so we have numerous bins defined for the location. But now the location is no longer bin managed and I’m trying to remove the bins from RMM, all of which are empty. I changed the MANAGEMENTTYPE to NOBINS but RMM is still trying to assign bins to tapes going to that location. I removed the bins from RMM and now RMM housekeeping terminates because there are no bins in the location. I tried re-adding some bins and RMM refuses, saying it’s not a self managed location: Location OP is not shelf-managed. Specify the name of a shelf-managed storage location. Seems I’ve gone full circle. Does anyone know how to tell RMM to quit assigning bins for this location?

Re: Moving from XCF-local to single-system sysplex environment
Unless you are a running an ancient MVS release, 'XCF-Local' no longer exists. Single systems must now run as Monoplex. That being said, there is no problem running a system in Monoplex mode, which allows system logger to write to DASD-only data sets. Although it may not suit your needs, you can also run multiple systems in Basic Sysplex mode, which allows limited sharing of resources like console without any CF access. . .

Don't you have a monoplex now and WLM couple data sets? Or are you running with the "default" WLM policy? The only XCFLOCAL system I've worked on in years is my onepack system. But to answer your question: You don't need a CF. You can run a monoplex with sysplex (XCF) couple data sets, define your LOGR couple data sets, and use DASD only logstreams. I support many monoplex LPARs that run in that mode (but they also have WLM couple data sets). If you look at the doc section of my web site for "Doc for setting up WLM in a MONOPLEX", the first few steps are the same but then you need the logger couple data sets.

I was told that changing from one format to the other 3 times would be best. That need to switch 3 times is based on your level of desire to prevent recovery of your data. The first switch will remove all the directory data and overwrite all the tracks. That makes all the data vanish. However there are forensic methods that may be able to read the erased data although it has been overwritten. Thus the additional reformats (which makes the data harder to find on the drive using the forensic methods). This is the same situation as with PC Hard Drives and Secure Erase. You use a higher Secure Erase setting to rewrite the tracks more times. Unless you expect that someone is going to go to the trouble to do that level of data recovery, just removing the directories and overwriting the tracks (so the data is no longer there for normal reading or viewing the tracks) should be enough. -- 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: Moving from XCF-local to single-system sysplex environment
I think that OMVS is already covered by BPXMCDS, but definitely sysplex aka XCF CDS is missing. Just to complement: XCF is mandatory, while BPX aka OMVS aka (no! USS agan?) is not, it depends on configuration and needs. The other optional CDSses are SFM and ARM. CFRM is mandatory when you want to use CF. LOGR is mandatory in almost all scenarions because it is mandatory for System Logger. WLM was already discussed - theoretically you can live without it, but the system is crippled. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland W dniu 2011-02-25 20:54, Staller, Allan pisze: OMVS I know these CDS types: ARM BPXMCDS CFRM LOGR SFM WLM What's the 7th type? -- BRE Bank SA ul.

Re: SYSREXX - From the console
According to sources at IBM:
"The security environment that you get when AXREXX is invoked under a
console that is not logged on lacks an OMVS segment
so you need to logon w/ a userid that is properly defined."
So if you want to create a SYSREXX command and want the operators to be
able to issue the command from the console, the console may have to be
logged on depending if it requires an OMVS segment. In this case, I was
creating a SYSREXX to UNMOUNT an HFS file via command from the console.

Subject: SYSREXX - From the console
Hello fellow mainframers,
Working on setting up SYSREXX. Here are my AXR00 parms:
CPF('RX',SYSTEM)
AXRUSER(AXRUSER)
REXXLIB ADD DSN(SYS1.SAXREXEC)
We setup the AXR, AXR01-08 STC and the AXRUSER with the appropriate
SURROGAT as documented.
My challenge is that I have a very simple REXX in SYS1.SAXREXEC. I want
it to be run with the AXRUSER Userid. When I invoke it from SDSF via
/RX my-rexx it has my Userid. When I do it from a console that is
logged on I get the console Userid and when I issue it from a console
that is not logged on I get USERID() = *. I chatted with a friend in
Europe and he said his comes back with the Userid of the STC. Except
for my Europeans friends results, it seems to me that any REXX that is
invoked via the F AXR or cpf is invoked with SECURITY=BYUTOKEN.
Any and all help is as always greatly appreciated.
