Re: User datasets wrongly catalogued under Master Catalogue
You use IDCAMS to to a REPRO LEVEL(userid) MERGECAT from the master to the correct user catalog and then DEFINE the ALIAS.

Just uncat them (with nscr) define the alias, recat. No need to mess with the data itself. See RCNVTCAT on the cbt. And yes, it works on SMS datasets as well.

Re: User datasets wrongly catalogued under Master Catalogue
Hi, Recently We have installed a new system Z/OS 1.13. During migration the Users datasets were restored and unfortunately all the user datasets are catalogued under Master catalogue. I agree that this happens when a userid is defined with alias relating to user catalog. I am just trying to understand if it is possible to move all the users dataset catalogued under master catalogue to a user catalogue since the Number of datasets are in big number. Jake If the datasets are not migrated, then you can use DFDSS to dump/delete, create the alias, restore the files with CATALOG. If they are migrated, then recall them, DFDSS dump/delete, create the alias, restore with CATALOG option. If they are migrated and you cannot recall them, then keep the list of migrated files, and recover them with DFHSM after you correct the alias. I do not think you can do a repromergcat if the alias does not already exist. This should work. I have used this technique in the past.

Re: How convert historic STCK to local time?
I cannot be the only one who finds these discussions tedious. The archives contain more than a hundred threads very much like this one. The same issues are discussed, more or less inadequately, over and over again. Sanely organized networks, even those that do not span multiple time zones, collect and store only UTC [GMT] STCKE values. It is then of course possible to write trivial routines that, given a UTC offset, display or print local clock times, absurd 12-hour ones in the United States [and, apparently, parts of Canada too] and 24-hour ones elsewhere. Insanely organized networks must always collect vector-valued times, i.e., an STCKE value and its associated (fixed-point NOT integer) UTC offset. The raw conversion of STCKE-instruction values without the use of a leap-second table is an indefensible practice that convicts its perpetrator of radical ignorance and/or technical incompetence. The table involved is short; it is ordered; it can be searched using very efficient glb-seeking binary search; this table grows very slowly; elements can be added to it before their effective dates; ample advance notice of requirements to add new elements and their effective dates (always one of two) is provided; etc., etc.[The detailed design of this table should make provision for negative leap-second corrections, but that is a trivial matter.] John Gilmore, Ashland, MA 01721 - USA -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: User datasets wrongly catalogued under Master Catalogue
Yes, it is possible to move files cataloged to the master onto an alias under a user catalog. It's been a while since I've done this but you probably have to define an alias different from the first level of your files. For example, if you have files, aaa.bbb that are defined to the master; then, the new alias can't be aaa; it has to be something different like aa1. Once the new alias has been defined, then the catalog pointers need to be merged onto the new user cat. If you have a utility such as TREX or Catalog Solutions, these utilities make this work much easier but IDCAMS can also do the merge of these records. Being user files, you may be able to just rename the files to your new alias provided these are not in use and there are no VSAM files involved; you can't rename a VSAM to an alias that's in a different catalog than the original vsam.

However when I did this it crashed CA-11 - which is using a different Datacom SVC talking remotely to a different Datacom MUF on a different LPAR. (ouch!) I double checked everything to make sure this wasn't operator error and as far as I can tell, I did nothing wrong. To fix the problem I did a reinit for CA-11's (and Jobtrac's) Datacom SVC and a reinit of the MSM R3 Datacom SVC and restarted CA-11. As far as I can tell this is a bug of some sort, but I won't say so for sure until CA gets back to me. I have an open ticket and they have all the doc. As far as MSM upgrade was concerned, I just chose a different Datacom SVC to go along with the MSM upgrade from Datacom AD R11 to R12. My advice: Pick a new SVC number for Datacom if upgrading MSM from Pre-V4. CA-Datacom support replied back to me as follows: == As we discussed, the SVC is the communication vehicle for applications running on the same LPAR as the MUF, and as you have seen, these applications use SVC 246 as expected and without issue. In addition to that, the SVC is also used minimally with XCF processing, and that process, which has been in place for several releases, is to use the lowest SVC at the proper release level for this small amount of work. In this case, since both SVC 233 and SVC 246 were at r11 when CA 11 was started, XCF used SVC 233 for its needs. Then, when you reinitialized SVC 233 to version 12.0, control blocks and pointers changed, and XCF was broken, leading to the RC 83(01). You can then note that when CA 11 restarted and reestablished connection across XCF to the MUF, that there was no further problem. This, among other reasons, is why we have indicated for a long time that the CAIRIM process to REINIT should not be used to change release levels of the SVC. The recommendation has been that when introducing a new version SVC, that it be done at IPL time, or that a new SVC be used, and to not reinitialize a current Datacom SVC at a different level. == Of course indicated for a long time not to... means nothing to a new user, which from an MSM standpoint, I am. Also I reviewed the MSM admin manual, release notes and installation considerations and the migration checklist and there was no such warning about choosing a different SVC number. As matter of fact, the MSM install doc specifically says you can use the same number for a migration: SVCNO Specifies an SVC number for CA Datacom/MSM. Note: We do not recommend that you use the same SVC used by a running instance of CA Datacom r11. Limits: 200 through 255 Note: If you are an existing CA MSM customer and perform migration, the parameter value can be the same as in the previous release.

This new web services API is shipped as part of z/OS MF, and oddly is documented in the z/OS MF Configuration Guide (SA38-0652-06) == The z/OS jobs REST interface is an application programming interface (API) implemented through industry standard Representational State Transfer (REST) services. This interface allows a client application to perform operations with batch jobs on a z/OS system. With the z/OS jobs REST interface, an application can use REST services to perform the following operations with batch jobs: v Obtain the status of a job v List the jobs for an owner, prefix, or job ID v List the spool files for a job v Retrieve the contents of a job spool file v Submit a job to run on z/OS v Cancel a job v Change the job class of a job v Cancel a job and purge its output. = Any client or browse-side scripting language that can make web services calls can use this API. The client will need to be able to encode and decode JSON, but many languages and toolkits support that readily.

This interface allows a client application to perform operations with batch jobs on a z/OS system. With the z/OS jobs REST interface, an application can use REST services to perform the following operations with batch jobs: v Obtain the status of a job v List the jobs for an owner, prefix, or job ID v List the spool files for a job v Retrieve the contents of a job spool file v Submit a job to run on z/OS v Cancel a job v Change the job class of a job v Cancel a job and purge its output. = Any client or browse-side scripting language that can make web services calls can use this API. The client will need to be able to encode and decode JSON, but many languages and toolkits support that readily.

Further, the output of ISFEXEC WHO shows the web server's ID, but it shows GRPNAME=ISFUSER which is the catch-all least powerful group in ISFPRMxx, *not* the group that the web server's ID should be placed into.

A few yerars back IBM was well aware of the device number running outproblem, they addressed in a few ways, 1) more data per the addressed-device - notably the dasd devices. 2) add channel sets and 3) add virtual layering. The thought was that this would allow the HCD/IOCP/HSA areas to be managed better(controlled). and circumvent the software intrusion into created 3or4-byte addressing i.e. 5 hex digites need 3 bytes to live in. and 3 bytes would upset the world of ZOS, (JCL,control blocks, etc etc).

It would still need the system programmer to update IKJTSOxx, but the AUTHPGM section rather than AUTHTSF, but would not need the stub module and other REXX stuff. -- Walt Farrell IBM STSM, z/OS Security Design -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: 5 Byte Device Addresses?
Myname Is haroldberg...@yahoo.ca wrote in message news:2280839336598964.wa.haroldberglasyahoo...@bama.ua.edu... check the iocp manual - it's the CSS-ID (the logical channel subsystem id). http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg2de3388ad7e19bffc852577 68003f170eaid=1 page 68 and of course page 303, which says the 2817 has max of 3 for css-id, and a max of 2 for subchanel set id. p.s. i loved the history lessons, most of them being fairy tales. and dark distant foggy memories. The truth though is more fascinating . it's sad people can't let go device addressing was 3 digits(hex) . let it go... it's all now chanell-sets and iodf device numbers. the old days are gone, and should be forgotten. let it go, ok? A few yerars back IBM was well aware of the device number running outproblem, they addressed in a few ways, 1) more data per the addressed-device - notably the dasd devices. 2) add channel sets and 3) add virtual layering. How about: 0) invent the 3705? That was decentralizing, shifting thousands of addresses behind one 37x5 device address. Kees. The thought was that this would allow the HCD/IOCP/HSA areas to be managed better(controlled). and circumvent the software intrusion into created 3or4-byte addressing i.e. 5 hex digites need 3 bytes to live in. and 3 bytes would upset the world of ZOS, (JCL,control blocks, etc etc). Imagine the 2 byte fields abcd (that reresented 4 digits in 2 bytes) expanding to larger size as well. it was a nightmare, to change pgms that dated back years and decades to evaluate and change, let alone user-pgms sysprogs wrote. a lot of money here. best solution- keep 4 char device numbers asis, add a new plane of existance and let the hotshot sysprogs deal with it. first confusion, then awareness (i.e. read newera software share presentation handout --session 10471 last march titled IODF, etc., and/or other share sessions in last 20th century hosted by IBMers in a freeforall on this topic, it's been over a decade -- where were you?) so, it was decided to go another route instead - the one they implemented starts at the IOCP level, and will one day be better known. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
