Re: installing serverpac for 1.13 using 1.11 system
Hi Tim,
It is pretty easy in the ServerPac dialogs to change the name of the mount
point to a unique name , such as /service13 . That prevents any confusion as
to what gets mounted to what for what.
/snip
MOUNT FILESYSTEM('ZOS13.OMVS.VAR.ROOT') +
/esnip
This is your VAR root. There are several zfs files with the low level of ROOT.
Your system root would be ssa.OMVS.ROOT or whatever name you used to conform to
your shop dataset naming standards.
It's good to keep your dialogs clean . If they acurately reflect your set up,
they will be more useful as a merge set when you begin to build your next
ServerPac install.
HTH,
Linda

Subject: installing serverpac for 1.13 using 1.11 system
During the serverpac for zos 1.13 I believe there is a step where you mount the
new systems root system
on the driving system at the /service point.
Is the command for this
MOUNT FILESYSTEM('ZOS13.OMVS.VAR.ROOT') +
MOUNTPOINT('/service') +
TYPE(ZFS) MODE(RDWR)
I believe we had done this originally and an IPL of the driving system was
performed since then.. We cant find this step documented and the subsequent
ALTCAT job fails with.
File system ZOS13.OMVS.ROOT not mounted
BPXISETS not called to convert etc and var to symlinks
Please ensure that ZOS13.OMVS.ROOT is mounted
and submit the job again.
Please confirm

Hi Peter, There are a number of ways - a lot depends on what info you want.

Yes -- I support a very large client where CA SMF DIRECTOR is implemented quite effectively, with the SMF data being collected throughout the day and maintained as DFHSM-directed data (HISTORY) files. Managed in smaller pieces by individual LPAR, the archived data is accessed, as needed, and is migrated/recalled on-demand, otherwise it is stored on tape as ML2/MIGRAT2. The SMF data is in its native format, however there is a control (SCDS) database which keeps track of where any given date/time a particular 'dumped' SMF record type can be found.

Re: How many cost a cpu second?
Hi Salva, The answer is, It depends! As has been said in other replies, the answer is, at the very least political. I used to work with a retired IBM capacity planner. There are two main purposes to a billing system. 1) recover your costs and 2) encourage sustainable computing behavior. 1) costs, all costs. This doesn't mean that you have to have a separate billable for every little thing that goes into cost. We have a CPU charge that incorporates support staff, equipment maintenance, operations staff, etc. We also charge for DASD excps. We used to charge for DASD residency 25+ years ago, but it caused undesirable user behavior so we stopped charging for DASD residency. There is still DASD cost of course, but it is included in the rest of the rates. It's also important to have rates that your customer can understand. We basically charge for CPU, DASD excps, tape, tape mounts, print records, and a few other things. When we used to have a lot of tape drives and operators to mount tape, we had a lot of user tapes to deal with. Now, almost all of our tape activity is virtual. Our billing charge for tape handling is much higher that the charge for FTP data pickup and delivery to the user's server. Print records sent to a viewer are less expensive than printed reports. Customers can also print all or part of their reports on their own printer, remotely. Remote print records are billed at a lower rate, but we still have to recover costs. Everybody has to recover costs somewhere, somehow. 2) encourage sustainable computing behavior. For example, if you charge for DASD residency, consider making the residency charge less for the cheaper disk, more expensive for the fastest, more expensive, etc. Another site announces when their oldest disk is coming to end of life - at that point the maint prices for it are generally going up - so they bill more for it and that helps motivate their customers to want to move to other disk. The price increases cover the extra cost and the natural desire of the customer is to avoid the extra cost and be willing to have their data moved. So if CPU is more expensive for batch work at peak times, customers will be encouraged to move what they can to other times - and that will help you keep your rolling average lower and save you money too. For other types of work, programmer testing, etc. the temptation is to run that workload at really low priority, but programmers are an expensive resource if they spend too much time waiting for their jobs to run. /snip In other terms: If I have a STC consuming 25,000 cpus / secs per month, and I spend two days optimizing it to reduce to 15,000. Am I gaining money or loosing time ? /esnip Getting back to your first question, I'd say maybe. If you need that 15,000 CPU seconds for other work, or if trimming them keeps your peak down for the month, you may save more than would be obvious. Your customer may be delighted that you care about keeping their bill down and may bring you a bunch more billiable work. It depends.

z/OS Printsrv
Hello all, have the following problem(s): Printsrv and all of it's bells and whistles works on z/OS 1.10 and 1.12. I have TARed (PAXed) the /var/Printsrv directory, copied it to my target (z/OS1.13) and started Printsrv as per instructions. All necessary RACF, Linklist and USS definitions are in place. When I look at the printer definitions on z/OS 1.13 from the ISPF interface, all seems as it should be, i.e. all printers definitions are as defined in z/OS 1.10 / 1.12. From SDSF I can print a JES output using 'xsc' and everything appears on my chosen printer in clear and legible format. Using the APPPRINT utility (Batch) I see the banner page being printed legibly, everything after that, however, is illegible. It would seem that the print is being somewhat overlaid.

Re: Anyone a Unicode Services expert? -- roundtrip conversion
The same glossary says this about code point: A unique bit pattern defined in a code. Depending on the code, a code point can be 7-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit, or other. Code points are assigned to a graphic character in a code page. Note the last sentence of that. Also, you earlier quoted a section of a DB2 website about round trip conversion, including this: Example: In ASCII CCSID 1252, the trademark symbol T is code point X'99'. In EBCDIC CCSID 37, this code point does not exist. So a code point is not just any possible combination of bits, it's a combination of bits that is assigned to a character. It is possible to say that a code point does not exist in a CCSID. Therefore the description of round trip that you quoted: Round trip. Encoding that occurs when *every* code point in the source CCSID maps to a unique code point in the target CCSID can be read to apply only to certain bit combinations, those to which a character is assigned, and not to all bit combinations. The glossary in the DB2 website that you referenced earlier has this for code point: In CDRA, a unique bit pattern that represents a character in a code page.

Re: z/OS Printsrv
Suggestions: 1. Open a problem record with IBM for Infoprint Server for help with diagnosis 2. See the latest bookshelf: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves/aopbk381 3. Look at anything that uses iconv for codepage translations with Unicode Conversion Services 4. Look at JES2 OUTCLASS settings like BLNKTRNC 5. Look at line-termination values x'0D25' versus x'0D0A' 6. Do you have document-header values for PCL printers? 7. Are you using the new transforms afpxpdf, afpxps, or afpxpcl instead of the old transforms afp2pdf, afp2ps, and afp2pcl? 8. Do you use a Begin Dataset Exit? 9. Are you using Printway Basic Mode or Printway Extended Mode? 10. Try tracing the daemons for both the old and new systems to look for differences. 11.

I have TARed (PAXed) the /var/Printsrv directory, copied it to my target (z/OS1.13) and started Printsrv as per instructions. All necessary RACF, Linklist and USS definitions are in place. When I look at the printer definitions on z/OS 1.13 from the ISPF interface, all seems as it should be, i.e. all printers definitions are as defined in z/OS 1.10 / 1.12. From SDSF I can print a JES output using 'xsc' and everything appears on my chosen printer in clear and legible format. Using the APPPRINT utility (Batch) I see the banner page being printed legibly, everything after that, however, is illegible. It would seem that the print is being somewhat overlaid. I can see no strange errors / messages when I look at the Printsrv log on the ISPF interface. Would anyone have any pointers / hints??

Re: Anyone a Unicode Services expert? -- roundtrip conversion
I __think__ I understand what IBM is saying. You must differentiate between a hex value (0x00..0xFF) and a code point (a subset of hex values). Not every hex value is a code point in every CCSID. I.e. a single byte CCSID may have less than 256 code points, or a double byte CCSID may have less than 65336 code points. A round trip conversion from one CCSID to a different CCSID says that every possible code point in CCSID#1 will map to a unique code point in CCSID#1. I.e. the trip is on a two way street and you can turn around to go back to where you started. However, there may be a one way street from CCSID#2 to CCSID#1. So when you start in CCSID#2, you cannot just turn around when you get do CCSID#1 and return to your starting location. Think of the code points in a CCSID as streets in a city. If the street is two way (round trip), then you can go back the way you came. If the street is one way, then you can't. So CCSID#2 may have a one way street to CCSID#1. You can make the trip, but if you go back, you must use a different street. So when you go back to CCSID#2, you end up somewhere else in CCSID#2 from where you started. A round trip route from CCSID#1 to CCSID#2 means every street from CCSID#1 to CCSID#2 is two way. But that does not mean that every street from CCSID#2 to CCSID#1 must be a two way street. There may be a one way trip from #2 to #1. So you cannot say that #2 is round trip to #1. That is, every code point in CCSID#2 must go to a code point in CCSID#1, but if more than one does, then the conversion is not classified round trip. And it means that, so far as these conversions are concerned, if you use a hex value not in the set of code points, nothing at all is guarnateed (you went off road so to speak). So round trip does not say that every hex value maps to a unique destination. In fact a hex value which is not a code point in a source CCSID could actually translate to a hex value which is a code point in the destination CCSID.

Re: Anyone a Unicode Services expert? -- roundtrip conversion
I did not miss the word defined. It's not in IBM's definition. I hear everyone who is saying the term 'code point' *really* means a bit value with a glyph assigned to it, but that's not what the definitions out there say. Wikipedia: In character encoding terminology, a code point or code position is any of the numerical values that make up the code space (or code page).[1] For example, ASCII comprises 128 code points in the range 0hex to 7Fhex, Extended ASCII comprises 256 code points in the range 0hex to FFhex, and Unicode comprises 1,114,112 code points in the range 0hex to 10hex. The Unicode code space is divided into seventeen planes (the basic multilingual plane, and 16 supplementary planes), each with 65,536 (= 216) code points. Thus the total size of the Unicode code space is 17 × 65,536 = 1,114,112. ASCII comprises 128 code points. Not all 128 of those have glyphs. Unicode comprises 1,114,112 code points. Not all of those million-plus code points have glyphs. every code point in the source CCSID maps to a unique code point in the target CCSID (note no defined) That says every one of the 128 ASCII code points maps to a unique bit combination. But it ain't so. If one is going to define round trip conversion as applying only to corresponding glyphs then the definition loses any meaning. Any rational translation is round trip with regard to corresponding glyphs.

IBM does define this kind of translation, but it isn't round trippable - it's enforced subset match. From the CDRA book: The enforced subset match criterion guarantees the preservation of the subset of characters that are common to both the input and output character sets. Any character not in this common subset will be replaced with a unique character that indicates that a substitution has occurred.

Other control characters are treated as bytes, and are dealt with according to mismatch management criteria. and under Criteria for Character Set Mismatch Management, describing Pairing of Code Points Using Round Trip: - An input graphic code point outside the common set is mapped to an output graphic code point outside the common set - An input control code point is mapped to an output control code point outside the mnemonic-based common set - If the graphic encoding space of the source is larger than the graphic encoding space of the target, some graphic code points will be mapped to control code points, and vice versa.

Re: Problem with SMP/E RECEIVE ORDER
Hi Jürgen, I had a similar issue with a service package that was larger that 8GB, about a year ago. IBM opened an APAR - it was JAVA that couldn't handle the package size . I didn't have time to wait so I ordered my service on tape. I don't have the APAR info handy at the moment, but will try to find it for you tomorrow, if you still need it. I recommend that you open a issue. The APAR may be reselved by now, in which case you could put the PTF for that, and try again or - The work around is to reduce the size of the package, by ordering parts of it at a a time, or order tape.

How to Carbon Copy (Cc:) in Email from MVS?
Is there any way to specify a carbon-copy option when sending an email from MVS? Using IEBGENER with SYSOUT=(B,SMTP); have never needed to do a Cc: before today!

Re: How many cost a cpu second?
A couple other thoughts: 1. Mainframe-only chargeback regimes are deadly. If you actually look at the total IT budget, all things mainframe-related typically consume a rather small fraction of the total IT budget. If you have chargebacks, and if they don't reflect that reality, then you're already in trouble. Yes, I know that z/OS has SMF which provides wonderful data that accountants can easily misuse -- and yes, I know other systems don't have anything like SMF built in. So go get system accounting software for those other systems if you're going to have chargebacks -- and add the cost of implementing and maintaining that software to those other systems' chargebacks! 2. Average costs versus marginal costs. If you simply take the total expense and divide that up into chargebacks, you've got a problem. That'll cause very bad behavior as users try to flee what they see as high costs (average costs) which really truly aren't (they're actually marginal costs). One better way (albeit not perfect) is to charge an unavoidable, universal membership fee (per employee, for example) plus a variable rate, with the variable rate equal to true marginal costs. That's similar to your electric bill -- a connection fee plus a charge per kilowatt hour. Bonus points for peak and non-peak pricing. Non-peak could even be zero.
