HI,

 The video is in one shot! 34 minutes. with great sound and video quality!
 I happy that I study how to make very good movie.

 The new video demonstrate emulation 3390 and replication real 3390 disks.
 Also the compression pc file which hold the 3390 disk data in PC and
greater compression way.
 Also demonstrate the snap shot backups.
 Also more commands to easily control the status of replication when the
MFNetDisk mirror it as sync replication but with the script easily you can
control the replication and validate the synchronize of the 3390 real
disks!

MFNetDisk allow you to snapshot backup all your 3390 disks, real and
emulated disks in one second.
To use the content of the backup, no need to restore! the backup, because
the backup data can be access as 3390 disk in MF

This solution eliminate the need to run standard backup at all!!
The proof is by looking in my video!!

I need to write documentation and touch a little my code.



Thanks,
God bless you.
Shai Hess, MFNetDisk product.

Lack of full USS LOGOFF support in RFC 2355 (Was: USS Education ...)

2012-01-08 Thread Chris Mason
Disturbed

 Disturbing.

I am obliged to guess at what part of my post you found disturbing. I 
concluded it must be the point I raised regarding support for the LOGOFF 
command, no other point being available as a candidate.

It is indeed a shame that Bill Kelly - to give a name to the author of RFC 2355 
- didn't appreciate that there was a capability, enormously useful in support 
of a troubled - one might even say disturbed - end user when work is not 
progressing as hoped.

That missed capability can be described in the following manner:

1. The end-user has established the TN3270E TCP connection concatenated to the 
SNA session with, for example, TSO with the aid of the LOGON command.

2. The end-user has become stuck in some way, no response from the 
application or the application is not behaving as he or she expected.

Ideally, the following would be possible, with the end-used needing to have 
been trained only how to manage 3 and 4.

3. The end-user would invoke the SysReq function, single key or combination of 
keys with a tricky order of press.

4. The end-user would press enter.[1]

5. There would now be instructions over how to proceed which would include the 
number of the help desk, and a number of parameters specific to that 
end-users connection/session which the help desk would need properly to 
identify the end-user:

- the client IP address
- the client name obtained from the name server system [2]
- the SNA-oriented TELNET server LU name

Incidentally, also with what RFC 2355 allows in the implementation of the LOGON 
command, the variables are available for presentation at this time and, in case 
anyone is of the opinion that this is all some relic of a bygone age, there is 
- sound the trumpets! - support for IPv6 in the client IP address field.

It appears that Bill Kelly - not having attended my classes! - was unaware of 
the possibility behind steps 3, 4 and 5 which has always existed for the case 
of the SNA end-to-end session - obviously just with regard to the LU name 
field - since the @@LUNAME variable was introduced.

This is the great - and disturbing - shame!

-

[1] The message which appears here is number 5, Unsupported function. All 
this means is that, according to design, VTAM or, in this case, the 
SNA-oriented TELNET server, do not take any action relating to session 
management as a result of receiving no data - but, but, but - there is nothing 
whatsoever to prevent the canny system programmer using any or all of the 
available variables to populate the resulting message 5!

[2] It is not actually made clear in the section 16.4.3, USSMSG 
macroinstruction of the z/OS Communications Server IP Configuration Reference 
where these fields are described that this field must be optional:

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/f1a1b4b0/16.4.3

The SNA-oriented TELNET server will only obtain the client host name from the 
name server system when (it thinks!) it needs so to do in order to map, for 
example, LU names to particular client work-stations by host name. As for the 
case of providing the name field in the CV X'64' information propagated to the 
application, this reference to the name server system can be induced by setting 
up, in effect, a dummy HNGROUP set of statements in the PROFILE data set.

 It's actually not really the fault of the Communications Server developers
 that the SNA-oriented TELNET server can mimic the action of VTAM only for
 the *LOGON* command. Rather it is a deficiency of RFC 2355. In order
 completely to support the following claim:

 For ease of migration, Telnet simulates SNA USS processing very closely.

 full implementation of the handling of the *LOGOFF* command would be
 required. Unfortunately, while having done a good job for the most part the
 author of RFC 2355 fell down very badly in the area of the USS LOGOFF
 command - more's the pity for end users and their help desk support.

We just moved from a z9 to a z114 running z/OS1.11 and z/VM 5.4. We put 
on the PSP maint, installed STP for the first time and all went pretty 
smooth. We had the nice option of running our z9's while we cut over to 
the z114's. So our testplex went first. Really no issues I can think of. 
Couple of weeks later we cut our prod systems over.

 the growth of the image is do to many enhancements in function and recovery 
in the CFCC 17 code. CFCC 17 on z196 has added some function and added enhanced 
recovery of the CF code. The number of supported structures was increased from 
1023 to 2047 structures, the number of logical connection to a structure was 
increased, and the recovery was enhanced to improve nondisruptive MCL

Re: S72A-10 Abend

2012-01-08 Thread Peter Relson
72A-10: 
When ATTACH is invoked in AR-ASC mode: Non-zero ALETin AR15.
When ATTACH is invoked in primary or AR ASC mode: non-zero ALET in 
parameter list

I do not see tokens involved with ATTACHX.
Can someone please explain what IBM is talking about?

IBM is talking about what the book says: access list entry tokens (ALETs).

It might help to show the expansion of the macro, and possibly the 
assembly listing for that section. 
If you coded exactly what you showed, your expansion would have included
LAE   15,IHB0001
And that in turn would put a value in AR15 that depends on what your ASC 
mode was and what base reg this resolved to, according to the architecture 
of the LAE instruction.

If you were not intentionally in AR-ASC mode, or if your AR15 would have 
been 0 when the SVC 42 was issued,  then you likely have an overlay of 
your program such that the assembled parameter list no longer contains 0's 
in all of the slots reserved for ALETs of parameters.

Re: IBM TS7740 Copy/Export process

2012-01-08 Thread Mike Wood
David, There is very little integration possible between the outboard library 
and the system/tape management system because the library does not communicate 
enough information to the host system. However, basic automation is possible 
via a utility like CBRSPLCS and your scheduling software based on your 
knowledge of when business applications are creating data on tape ready for 
export.
Setting up the outboard policies is key; ensuring correct data is identified 
for copying ready for export.
The library does at least notify the host system via messages when an export 
completes for a physical volume, and also when a reclaim occurs. Based on this 
it is possible to provide tracking and movement control. DFSMSrmm does this. A 
recent microcode level improved the categories used by the library to better 
enable software like rmm to know when volumes are library resident - and a 
corresponding apar to rmm exploits this.
The library can move virtual volume copies within the library without host 
notification, making no sense of the host tracking physical residency.  Also, 
as Tom rightly states there can be multiple copies.
What we did with rmm was to provide a way to merge rmm and library details into 
a single report showing what data sets were on which physical volumes. See the 
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/dgt2rr90/7.17?SHELF=EZ2ZBK0KDT=20100623164051#HDRCXREP
 7.17 Creating reports about data sets and volumes that are copy exported. 
Hopefully this will be useful when making recovery decisions.

What we should all hope for is improvements in how the library and host can 
communicate about current status and track/control events.

What would be preferable is to nullify the parameter in the internal

the character shift.



Does anyone know if this is possible? If so, what is the INTTXT key? I
have been all over the IEFVKEYS macro, and can't seem to find one.

 If you have  SAS and MXG or MICS then you can use that to begin the

 Or you can download the CBTTAPE.ORG file containing DAF.

 If you have JCLPLUS from SEA Software, then you might also have the

REXX:trying to write a rexx interface with rmm

2012-01-08 Thread Victor Zhang
Hello experts,
I am trying to write a simple rexx program interfacing with rmm.
Input is dsn, with can contain **,%
output is the volumes that the dsn occupied.
I searched rmm manual and found SD is best preferred method to do this.
However, I have several questions:
Is there any existing code out there in web, so that I don't reinvent the wheel.
how should I differenciate multi-volume datasets and duplicate datasets
Should multi-volume datasets have same followning rmm vars:
EDG@DSN,

EDG@OXD,EDG@XDT

EDG@CDT,EDG@CDTJ,
EDG@CJBN,EDG@CTM(?),
EDG@OWN

Anyone example of continue parameter?

Regards
Victor

Re: Fwd: MFNetDisk snapshot backups video is in youtube.

2012-01-08 Thread shai hess
If you see the movie the last of the movie I add mirror to the snap shot pc
devcie which create full mirror from the snapshot backup.
In the movie I add local compressed pc file mirror. You can create net file
in remote PC of the full backup with all the tracks inside there.

 How do I get back on the air when a tornado wipes out my data center?
 Local mirroring may be useful, but it doesn't eliminate the need for
 off-site backup, e.g., tapes, remote hot backup.

What do you mean by PL1 material?

Are you looking for links to a PL/I discussion list? A language reference? 
Other?

Have a look at the manuals in this bookshelf.

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves/ibmsh400

You may not find here the perhaps tutorial information you would really like. 
If it's freely available, you could try Google - or any other search engine - 
searches.

Be aware that you will find various tokens representing what I believe is 
officially PL/I. Thus you could try searching with PL/1, PLI (actually 
unlikely I think) or your PL1.

I found this bookshelf starting from this URL which I think you will find 
useful for searching within IBM regular manuals online:

Re: Identifying SOA Workloads for zIIP zAAP Offload

2012-01-08 Thread Timothy Sipples
Are you (also) asking how to identify candidate workloads that could be
re-engineered, hopefully with little effort, to exploit zIIPs and/or zAAPs?
If that's the question, here are a couple ideas:

1. Look for any Java code that may be executing, and classify those
workloads according to the Java releases they use. Then start work on
moving the biggest workloads running on the oldest Java releases to at
least SDK 5 and preferably something much newer. Keep repeating this
exercise to stay current on Java releases. IBM's SDKs for Java did not
start to exploit zAAPs until 1.4.1-something or 1.4.2-something.

2. Review the current list of IBM and third-party zIIP and zAAP exploiters
and their release levels, and see if any correspond to workloads you're
running or could be running. Update accordingly.

3. Look for bulk data movements (notably FTPs) that could be re-engineered
with more selective, direct data access. JDBC/ODBC access directly to DB2
(V8 and higher) exploits zIIPs, of course. There are typically strong
security benefits and storage cost savings for this sort of re-engineering,
too. Additionally, relatedly, consider adopting the DB2 Analytics
Accelerator.
