Re: Logical to Physical CPU ratio (was Re: Running a SYSPLEX ...)
Bottom line: if it works and performance is acceptable, it's ok. As a side note, I was just recently testing at a DR site with a single z196 engine (general purpose) being shared between 3 CF LPARs (for 3 different sysplexes) and over 15 z/OS images. No productive work was being done, but they were all up and running and TSO performance was still fine. Back in March, after the big earth quake had hit Japan, we were hitting the CPU roof on our z9 to the point of NOT meeting the SLAs anymore (the box was running at 100% for 12 hours or more). We are routinely running 3:1 or even 3.5:1 logical to physical ratio on general CPs, and lpar overhead is in the 2%-of-the-box range. We used CooD (or whatever it is called these days) to add one physical processor, and *that* made all the difference. All of a sudden the ratio wasn't as bad anymore, and we managed to meet the SLAs. Of course the bosses were afraid, so for 24 hours we almost doubled our MSUs by having another physical CP, and the box wasn't limited in the general CP capacity anymore. I was told that most of the vendors (including IBM) want A LOT of money for those 48 hours! And I shudder to think if (hopefully when) we finally go z196: They will be taking away another general CP, maybe two. My preaching to reduce lpars falls on deaf ears. That'll leave us with a maybe 5:1 or worse ratio. :-( Barbara Nitz -- 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
z/OS SYSLOG to UNIX syslog daemon?
It's 01:30 local time. I can't sleep. So I'm likely insane. But I'm wondering if anybody knows of an __easy__ way to send z/OS SYSLOG messages to the UNIX syslog daemon? Sending the UNIX syslog daemon output to the z/OS SYSLOG is simple - log to the /dev/console UNIX file. What has occurred to me is write a subsystem and get WTO/WTOR messages directed to it via SSI function code 9: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IEA2F280/6.1.3 but this is not __easy___. It may be one of the better ways, but is likely also one of the most difficult. Another possibility that occurred to me is to take the sample IEATOPS REXX program and modify it so that it runs as an STC and simply relays the lines it receives via the TSO/E CONSOLE getmsg function to the (local or remote) UNIX syslog via TCPIP. But this means using RXSOCKETS. Which is not easy. Not super difficult, but I'm not familiar with it. We don't have the C compiler licensed, so using it is not a possibility. I have read that it is possible to use the C subroutines in COBOL. That might make using the C language support for the UNIX syslog available. But the rest of the coding would be difficult in COBOL. Why do I want such a thing? (1) insanity; (2) an equivalent of an operlog like facility on a basic sysplex or between differing parallel sysplexes; (3) to send the z/OS SYSLOG to a UNIX platform for analysis. One possible problem/issue/stupid thing to do would be to direct the z/OS UNIX syslog daemon output to the z/OS SYSLOG while capturing the UNIX syslog daemon output to the z/OS SYSLOG.

Re: A Warning to Anyone Servicing z/OSMF
Ed and Barbara, Yes, this is one of those hidden features you get with updating WASOEM or z/OSMF. Besides having SMPPTS entries that are larger than those for JAVA, applying then will very nicely wipe out your configuration files. When applying this maintenance, I create a clone filesystem to hold all the config files. Then I can just pull them back over after the apply is complete and I have a chance to see what has happened to the target filesystem. Always fun when dealing with products that don't fully understand how SMPE can work for you. Everyone is trying to use the One size fits all format in a tailored world.

Re: A Warning to Anyone Servicing z/OSMF
Since it appears that the config files must live in SMPE managed filesystems, it would seem like you need to make your config files a usermod so that they are not lost.I already do something like this for the required JAVA filesystem changes that are necessary for tape encryption. Usermod would then just reload your config files after the application of the maintenance. Only other alternative would be to externalize the config files to /etc, if that is even possible. I am not running z/OSMF yet. _ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Services david.jou...@53.com 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB1G p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.8497 -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Carson, Brad Sent: Monday, May 23, 2011 9:17 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: A Warning to Anyone Servicing z/OSMF Ed and Barbara, Yes, this is one of those hidden features you get with updating WASOEM or z/OSMF. Besides having SMPPTS entries that are larger than those for JAVA, applying then will very nicely wipe out your configuration files.

Re: z/OS SYSLOG to UNIX syslog daemon?
Implementing MVS under *NIX is easy - run Hercules/390 and MVS 3.8j under it. I do it for fun at home. Now, writing something so that a z/OS program could run on a *NIX platform would be something else. And it is easier to simply recompile your applications to run under *NIX or Windows by getting a compatible COBOL compiler. There are vendors who do that. We had one in, where I work a few years ago, who said that they could convert __ALL__ our source in all languages (COBOL, HLASM, EasyTrievePlus - batch and CICS) to a .NET platform and convert our JCL to Windows powershell or Perl scripts. They said that they would guarantee identical results to what we currently get and do it at a lower cost, equal or faster processing, and as good or better reliability. But the cost, up front, was too great - it was a 3 year break even. Hum, that was about 4 years ago. We still have vendors saying they can do this conversion. Now with a 2 year (or less) break even. But the 1.5+ million initial cost is stopping us. Management here is lusting to eliminate the z system entirely. But is unwilling to pay very much to do so. They want to replace the z in a swap out so that all of a sudden they are on Windows instead of z/OS for no conversion cost (or at least a 1 year break even).

I am seeing this more and more often. Our use of Facebook is experimental at this stage... We are trying it for several reasons. First, because I (and a LOT of other people) do use Facebook socially, so I (and a LOT of other people) are somewhat familiar with it. People, not companies. And you are forgetting about lawyers and lawsuits (more detail on that below). Second, it is a very convenient way for us to push information and for interested recipients to receive that information... Snipped Third, this kind of posting does not appear at our website because customers don't frequent colesoft.com anywhere near as much as they frequent social websites, especially Facebook. So only the most important information goes there. Direct email to your customers would be the most straightforward way to accomplish such notice. A newsletter would be appropriate too. I suspect that any or all of your employees already have the necessary skills for that kind of communication. You can even automate mass email on z/OS. I understand the need to lessen the burden of communications issues for your employees, but I suspect that FB is not the answer for most of your large corporate customers. Snipped By definition, it [Facebook] is primarily used for networking with friends, not professional contacts. You're posts are an exception. Ummm, I find that a very large number of both local and national businesses have growing Facebook presences. So I don't agree that my posts are an exception. After all, if half a billion people are on Facebook, then by definition(!), that's where your customers are... Companies most likely do this for their own marketing purposes, not for employee communication purposes. In such cases it is also very likely that the sales and legal teams are the only ones with internal access from the company network, not the programmers who use your product. There are also the tort fears of many companies. In these litigious days, no sane corporate lawyer will advise a company to allow their employees unfettered access to social sites because accidental (never mind intentional) release of material non-public information is usually worth a large chunk of cash to the government and lots of other lawyers. Those fears may or may not be valid, but they exist and result in restrictive web access policies that should be acknowledged and dealt with.

I put 6 in the command and hit PF9 and it goes there. Then I hit PF9 and it goes to #2 for example. I want it to go from 6 to 3. How do I do that? That depends on how you assign PF9; if you have just 'swap', then the swap is always between the two most recenct screens you've used. If you have 'swap next' the swap is to the next screen on the screen list. I know it can be done, because I do it accidentally quite often, but even after all these years I haven't figured out the pattern. thank you very much Lindy -- Kind regards, -Steve Comstock The Trainer's Friend, Inc. 303-393-8716 http://www.trainersfriend.com * To get a good Return on your Investment, first make an investment! + Training your people is an excellent investment * Try our new tool for calculating your Return On Investment for training dollars at http://www.trainersfriend.com/ROI/roi.html -- 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: PF9 Swap question
Hi Lindy, I believe that Pat is correct in that SWAP PREV and NEXT operate based upon the consecutive screen numbers assigned (i.e. rather than the order in which you have accessed the screens). You may find it useful to utilize screen names. I assign two-character names to my screens using the SCRNAME primary command. Examples: SCRNAME ej(eJES screen) SCRNAME tm (tape management) SCRNAME ra (RACF) You can see the screen names assigned explicitly or by default with SWAP LIST I assign F9 a value of SWAP NEXT and F21 a value of SWAP. Thus, I can type EJ or TM or RA (or any other screen name) in a command/option field, press F21, and jump directly to the screen I want. I do something similar for collections of datasets that I often access via ISPF 3.4. This is done by defining a set of DSN masks in a named entity called a REFLIST. For example, I have defined REFLIST PP with masks that cause DSLIST to display all PARMLIBs and PROCLIBs. I assigned F6 the value of REFLISTD in many of my KEYLISTs (F6 is not assigned in most menus). I can then type PP in any command/option field and press F6, which invokes DSLIST using REFLIST PP. Off topic, I know, but nonetheless useful at times.

Re: PF9 Swap question
Lindy, if you think of the SWAP command as alternating between two screens, or two sides of a display, this might make it easier. When you are on the A screen and press PF9, you will go to the B screen. Press PF9 again, and you are back on the A screen. OK so far? Now, if you are on Screen 2 on the A side and Screen 4 on the B side, you will alternate back and forth between these two. When you enter the command SWAP 3, it does not switch sides, but changes the screen displayed on the current side of the swap. For example if you are on Screen 2, with Screen 4 as the other side of the swap, and enter SWAP 3, you will change to Screen 3, and PF9 will swap to Screen 4, PF9 back to 3, and PF9 again to Screen 4. Now, from Screen 4 if you enter SWAP 6, you will change from 4 to 6 on your active screen, and PF9 will go to 3. So, if you are still with me, your answer is very simple...Once your screens are set up, do the following... 1. enter command SWAP 3 enter (this is the A side) 2. Press PF9 (to go to the B side) 3. enter command SWAP 6 enter (change the B side to 6) Now you are set to toggle between 3 and 6. The key to remember is that PF9 swaps to the other side, and the command SWAP # (or PF9 with the #) will change the active screen to the new #, it does not swap. Hope this helps! *don* On Mon, May 23, 2011 at 2:39 PM, Patrick Lyon ptl...@midamerican.comwrote: On Mon, 23 May 2011 18:22:13 +0200, Lindy Mayfield lindy.mayfi...@ssf.sas.com wrote: I have been using multiple ISPF screens for many years now, 12 or so.

When you are on the A screen and press PF9, you will go to the B screen. Press PF9 again, and you are back on the A screen. OK so far? Now, if you are on Screen 2 on the A side and Screen 4 on the B side, you will alternate back and forth between these two. When you enter the command SWAP 3, it does not switch sides, but changes the screen displayed on the current side of the swap. For example if you are on Screen 2, with Screen 4 as the other side of the swap, and enter SWAP 3, you will change to Screen 3, and PF9 will swap to Screen 4, PF9 back to 3, and PF9 again to Screen 4. Now, from Screen 4 if you enter SWAP 6, you will change from 4 to 6 on your active screen, and PF9 will go to 3. So, if you are still with me, your answer is very simple...Once your screens are set up, do the following... 1. enter command SWAP 3 enter (this is the A side) 2. Press PF9 (to go to the B side) 3. enter command SWAP 6 enter (change the B side to 6) Now you are set to toggle between 3 and 6. The key to remember is that PF9 swaps to the other side, and the command SWAP # (or PF9 with the #) will change the active screen to the new #, it does not swap.

Re: PF9 Swap question
Lindy, What Don told you is exactly how it works. Way back when all you had was 2 screens to swap between, you had the primary and secondary screen (I think that is the correct terminology). Hitting PF9 bounced between primary and secondary. The screen you are currently looking at is obviously the primary screen. Along came IBM now giving us the capability of having up to 32 screens (by default limited to 8). IBM didn't ditch the concept of primary and secondary. Pressing PF9 with its default of SWAP still swaps between primary and secondary screens. One way to which are your primary and secondary screens is to do a SWAP LIST command. The drop down this gives you shows which are the screens SWAP will swap between. The primary screen is shown with an asterisk beside the screen ID, and the secondary is shown with a hyphen beside the screen ID. Others have given you ideas about how they have their PFKeys set up so I'll give mine. I just leave PF9 alone at SWAP. I have PF19 set to SWAP PREV, PF20 set to SWAP NEXT, and PF21 set to SWAP LIST.

It looks like it will be a while: ShopzSeries is temporarily unavailable for maintenance. ShopzSeries is scheduled to resume normal operations by Saturday, October 24th at 12:00 AM MDT / 06:00 GMT. Haven't the IBMLINK and ShopZ heard about the ability of z to do 24/7/365.24 availability? Reading about these things is embarrassing.
