Re: Version Query for Installed Product

2011-12-06 Thread Alan Schenck
A tool I frequently use is PDS on the CBT tape.  
http://www.cbttape.org/freepds.htm is where you can download it from.  If you 
have to wear a computer forensics hat to figure out what's in your load 
libraries, PDS does a great job at displaying load module attributes, link-edit 
dates, and listing individual CSECTS ala AMASPZAP among other things.  
Certainly worth it's weight in gold.

Also, one would hope whoever isntalled the product(s) has left behind their 
documentation steps and listings.  You can compare the listings to the target 
and execution libraries to figure out what you're dealing with.  Be aware that 
what SMP/E shows you is not necessarily in agreement with what you are running.

Rick,

You can get to z/Arch Pops by starting at

http://www-05.ibm.com/e-business/linkweb/publications/servlet/pbi.wss

Enter country, then Search for publications, enter pub SA22-7832 , click Go, 
and you're there.  Works every time, that is until IBM changes the link again.

Re: CICS SVC module name for Z/OS 1.6 CICS transaction server 23

2009-06-23 Thread Alan Schenck
Our CICS has two SVC's: a type 3 in LPA and a type 6 in the nucleus 
configured as sollows:

We list SYS1.CICSTS.SDFHLPA in PARMLIB(LPALST00).

In PARMLIB(IEASVC00) we have the following two lines:
   SVCPARM 214,REPLACE,TYPE(3),EPNAME(DFHCSVC) 
   SVCPARM 215,REPLACE,TYPE(6),EPNAME(DFHHPSVC)

In SYS1.IPLPARM(LOAD00) we added this one line:
   NUCLST   00 N   (column dependent)
Note that the trailing N indicates to not load a wait state if any modules in 
NUCLST00 can't be found.

Our SYS1.IPLPARM(NUCLST00) has only this one line:
   INCLUDE DFHHPSVC

DFHCSVC is in SDFHLPA and becomes SVC 214 as per IEASVC00.  We copy 
DFHHPSVC from CICSTS.SDFHLOAD to SYS1.NUCLEUS via a USERMOD to the 
SYSRES's target zone.  DFHHPSVC gets loaded as SVC 215 during the IPL as 
per SYS1.IPLPARM.

We're at z/OS 1.9 and TS 3.1.  IIRC we had the same config for previous 
releases.

HTH,
Alan

Re: SYS1.UADS Format

2009-01-30 Thread Alan Schenck
Boy does this take me back to my first mainframe admin job using ACCOUNT 
to maintain UADS.  Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

The Working with the UADS and broadcast data set chapter in TSO/E 
Customization (SA22-7783-08) has info albeit minimal on this and on using the 
UADSREFM program.  OY17139 (last changed 1988/10/04) has this:

In Chapter 16 of the TSO/E Customization manual (SC28-1380-3) it is not 
documented that the default unit will only be carried over to the RACF data 
base with fullscreen logon and when the logon default information is stored in 
UADS. The default account number, procedure and unit will be lost when a 
UADSREFM is run prior to issuing the RACONVRT and the user has not logged 
on and off of TSO. 

Maybe the only useful purpose of LRECL=172 is to better stage you to run 
RACONVRT.

HTH,
Alan

Re: Damaged Catalog Alert

2007-07-30 Thread Alan Schenck
Greetings all,

A head's up to the non-ECS shops regarding OA19870.  IBM just reopened my 
ETR query on this APAR with the following update:

I wanted to let you know that we will be changing the text of APAR  
OA19870 to now also include that this apar should be applied to systems 
that have catalogs with shareoptions (3,4).  If you are sharing any of  
your catalogs, even without ECS, we are now suggesting that you apply   
the APAR. 

Hope this helps ;-)

Alan
