Unfortunately it does not match what I'm looking for. I already know how to work with FIXCATs, as well as with the old ePSPt. The fact that I mentioned CICS was only to give an example. I'll try to describe my problem in more detail: If you look on PSP bucket Upgrade CICSTS42, Subset HCI6700 you'll find several PTFs in the service recommendation section. Because FIXCATs are not (yet) available for CICS, you will not find any FIXCAT infos for these PTFs. At former times I could use the extracted PSP data from the pspapartool FTP directory together with the ePSPt tool to determine the required PTFs for a specific CSI, but now the data on this FTP server isn't updated since 2011 anymore. Furthermore, because up do now I wasn't able to get the PSP buckets as straight flat (.txt) files, but only displayed in my browser, I couldn't build such extract files in an easy way by myself. So again my question is, is there any source to get the PSP buckets as downloadable txt files, prefered from an FTP server?

Re: Comments on DFSMS verbose messages?
My organization is on the ESP program. We also requested a 'non-verbose' option. The extra messages are essentially a verbatim copy of the explanatory text in the messages manual(s). Which resulted in messages that weren't just a few extra lines, but often a dozen or many more lines. What we were hoping for was a reduced set of messages. An option to have something between the more detailed explanation in the messages manual and the original cryptic (to non-technical people) message, that made common sense. IEC030I B37??? You may not have allocated enough DASD space (refer to messages manual for more detail). IEC031I D37??? You may not have specified enough DASD space or any secondary space allocation (refer to...).

In z/OS R13, DFSMS changed approximately 400 of their rather cryptic IEC error messages to include additional lines of explanation. Feedback from R13 ESP customers indicated that the additional lines of explanation were appreciated for end-users but were not wanted in the SYSLOG/OPERLOG or on consoles. A suggestion was made that the additional lines of explanation be written only to the JOBLOG and not to other places that the message might go. z/OS OA37957 and DFSMS OA37505 provide the suggested support: the additional lines of explanation -- now referred to as verbose message lines -- are written only to the JOBLOG; they are not included with the message if it is written to the SYSLOG/OPERLOG or queued to a console. A new .MSGOPTION statement has been added to MPFLSTxx to allow you to enable or disable verbose message support at a system level: if the support is disabled (the default), the DFSMS error messages will not include additional lines of explanation; if the support is enabled, the DFSMS error messages will include the additional lines of explanation, but the verbose message lines will be written only to the JOBLOG. The DISPLAY MPF command response now displays the MSGOPTION enablement state. If verbose message support is enabled, the additional message lines are visible in MPF exits and are visible on the Subsystem Interface (SSI). The following control blocks have been modified to provide an indication if a verbose message line is present: WPL, WQE, CTXT and MDB. We have been in contact with the various automation venders and they are all aware of how to recognize verbose message lines.

Re: Endevor(Change Management Software)
Endevor is source control. It's strength is in ensuring there are no changes to source between environments... (typically development, test, user acceptance, production, and 'emergency' environment for catering for on-the-fly changes to deal with a production problem... like production JCL needing bigger a SPACE allocation for a file)... majorly, any source that's needs compiling is done via Endevor processes, so that there is confidence that source code truly reflects object/runtime code. Changes/variations are tracked (and I imagine that's what's driving this). Such is the theory... In terms of systems programming, there no sensible need for such source/object/executable control. We've got SMP/E, which immediately covers much of Endevor's remit. If you want to control purely source that never needs compiling, such as PARMLIB or VTAMLST members or whatever, then again, I don't think something like Endevor is appropriate. The idea of having a hierarchy of environments that Endevor drifts unchanged source through doesn't really apply. Although system symbols allow common parmlib decks in many cases, it's more often the case that each system has it's own specific needs and parms... and there's no real 'test environment' to make sure any system parameter change actually works for any particular system... and no real hierarchy of environments in the same sense of having a tier of application environments where everything is notionally the same. You 'could' write Endevor generators that automatically change the source depending on the destination environment, but you'd better have a damned good naming convention for just about everything... and I doubt it would work properly anyway. Frankly, I think it would be easier to w! rite a usermod every time I wanted to update some parameter library member. Bone easy, using the same software and management techniques IBM themselves use to maintain the rest of z/OS. Throw a copy of the SMP/E log at management every day. Reporting requirement satisfied. I'd argue against it. Just like I'd argue that an application system development life-cycle is inappropriate for a system programmer's working practices. Square peg for a round hole. Get your management to ask CA one thing: has anybody anywhere on this or any other planet used Endevor to maintain z/OS system libraries? If you absolutely must, then try it using SCLM as an exercise. You'll have the same concepts and dramas to deal with and at much less cost. Better still, get your management to try it.

Re: Thought: new DISP status function
Don't like this concept at all. Much too easy for people that don't think about what they are doing to overwrite data. Instead, what I would like to see is the JCL functionality to do something like SPACE=*.refdd or SPACE=(LIKE=dsname), in much the same manner as you can copy DCB attributes using REFDD or DCB=*.refdd. Then write to a new file and rename if you must. Also, with reference to Jim Firebird's comment: ' How about adding this clause: If the dataset is migrated, skip the recall. This might get tricky, because if the dataset is not opened, then would you not want the migrated version to remain cataloged?' This functionality already exists in dynamic allocation (the S99NOMIG flag). I think it's been there since ESA. Again, not at all certain this should be available in JCL. JCL essentially defines the resources that a program needs to work with; the software that works in that environment would have to cope with the lack of an expected resource (and probably just terminate with error like they do now anyway?

IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 50- REASON CODE IS IGG0CLE0-6 Explanation: A requested VVR or NVR was not found in the VVDS specified. sfi in message IEC331I contains characters 5 through twelve of the requested VVR name. Programmer Response: Ensure that the volume serial numbers provided in VOLUMES parameters and DD statements are correct. If all the commands are specified correctly, this condition may indicate an error in the catalog or VVDS. Run the DIAGNOSE command to determine if any catalog records are in error. Straight from the messages manual. Amazing what manuals can tells you. If you don't understand that, it means you have entries in your catalogue for which there is no associated information in the VVDS (where information pertaining to the VSAM dataset volume information is kept). The files are obviously VSAM since they are SMP/E CSI's. Maybe the files were also defined in another catalogue (perhaps the master on another system) and the file was deleted from there. Issue a DELETE NOSCRATCH to remove these stray catalogue entries. You should regularly run a DIAGNOSE to catch these catalogue inconsistencies. Ant.

As Mark said... The ISF032I RC4 message indicates the MCS console is already activate when the REXX is run, maybe because you already have SDSF active on another ISPF logical screen (the console name defaults to your TSO userid, but you can change it by using the Options action bar pull-down, option 9 'Set console name...').

Does your SDSF console work when you use it via TSO and / or ISPF SDSF? Yes, it does work. Also, I can see that the MVS command entered via REXX is being executed when I look at the SDSF log. Are you already using a console with that name via TSO/ISPF when you execute the exec? I have tried to execute the REXX exec from option 6 and via batch using TSO batch. This is an excellent point. The console name is the same as my userid and it is possible I am using SDSF at the same time. I'll check tomorrow when I am back at work. Is it possible to change the console name in the REXX? I tried changing it with activate console console(mytest) but for some reason the REXX puts me in interactive mode under console (which works when I issue a d a,l). Are you running this exec in batch of interactively? I have tried both way with the same message in both cases.

The description of the ABEND macro states that allowed completion codes are in the range 0-4095.

Re: Receiving RSU on z/OS 1.10
Concerning your SMPPTS, I'm wondering what OPTIONS entries you have set for your global zone, in particular the ones that appear under the CLEANUP category in the SMP/E panels. You should have sub-entry PURGE(YES) so that SMPPTS members are deleted after ACCEPT processing. You should be ACCEPT-ing your maintenance once you are satisfied that your software is stable; that helps keep your SMPPTS to a less-than-ludicrous size and makes it easier to RESTORE recently-installed sysmods.

The operands that you specify on a command determine which SYSMODs SMP/E selects for processing. This command failed because SMP/E did not select any SYSMODs. Here is an example of when this can happen: * You enter the RECEIVE FORFMID(JXY01) command. This tells SMP/E to receive all the specified SYSMODs in the SMPPTFIN data set. However, no SYSMODs are received. This can happen if either of the following is true: o The eligible SYSMODs have already been received. o No SYSMODs satisfied the FORFMID operand on the RECEIVE command. For more information about the selection criteria for the RECEIVE command, see the related chapter in SMP/E Commands. System Action: Command processing stops normally.

You can infer whether you've made the transition if you examine the records carefully, and note the times you see in them, and detect the change by noticing overlapping records (one record that says, e.g., 0159 followed by a record that says 0101.

Re: DUMPSRV - EXCP count high
I suspect the OP has the cart before the horse. DUMPSRV current CPU utilization is zero, but has accumulated CPU service and I/O's. This tells me it has processed a few dumps. Stop the system from dumping and DUMPSRV has nothing to do. I'd be looking to resolve the cause for the presumed dump activity instead of focusing on a symptom (DUMPSRV is doing work!). Status of PROT in SDSF means that z/OS has assigned a 'protected' attribute to that work unit (usually APPC or OMVS transactions). You need to specify the 'PROTECTED' keyword on various JES2 commands to get them to operate against those tasks, because you shouldn't really be using JES2 commands to manipulate them. Cheers, Ant.

Re: Ported tools for z/OS on ADCD
You can't answer the question without local site knowledge; no amount of USS training will help you. The dsname of the filesystem that is mounted at any mountpoint is completely up to whoever installed the software in that directory, hopefully using local dataset naming standards. The only place to start looking is you own site's product installation documentation. If you lack that (shame), maybe look for likely-named filesystems, mount them at a safe, temporary location and see what they contain. Ant.

Re: Copy OMVS file system after service to production system
We had a similar issue here: occasionally a mountpoint directory and/or associated symbolics went missing after an OS upgrade and a new root file system was moved into production / development systems. One of the system programmers had written a job that fired off after IPL; that job called a REXX that scanned the current BPXPRM's and issued a console message if expected filesystems were not mounted. I extended that by writing a REXX that was called from /etc/rc that went a step further. If an expected filesystem was not mounted, it consulted another parm file that listed the necessary mountpoints/symbolics for the filesystems and attempted to create them and then remount the missing filesystem. If the remount failed an email was issued. That works quite well for us, provided the parm file is updated whenever BPXPRM's are changed... I put a big comment box at the top of BPXPRM's as a reminder. Ant.

Re: Multople zone in SMPE
Assuming your target/dlib zones are in a separate VSAM datasets: 1) Copy/rename them using DF/DSS. You'll also need to make copies of the related SMP/E datasets (ie, SMPLTS, SMPMTS, SMPSCDS, SMPSTS, maybe SMPLOG and SMPLOGA depending on how you are set up) and the target and distribution libraries. 2) Rename the new zones using SMP/e: SET BDY(GLOBAL). ZONERENAME (old target zone name) TO(new target zone name) NEWDATASET(new target zone VSAM dataset name). ZONERENAME (old dlib zone name) TO(new dlib zone name) NEWDATASET(new dlib zone VSAM dataset name). 3) Link the new target/dlib zones SET BDY(new target zone name). UCLIN. REP TZONE(new target zone name) RELATED(new dlib zone name) ZDESC(new description if needed). ENDUCL. SET BDY(new dlib zone name). UCLIN. REP DZONE(new dlib zone name) RELATED(new target zone name) ZDESC(new description if needed). ENDUCL. 4) Update the DDDEFs in the new zones to point to the new datasets that the copied SMP/e environment reflects. Use SMP/e ZONEEDIT DDDEF. Don't forget the new SMP* files. SET BDY(new target zone name). /* For IPL-resident files */ ZONEEDIT DDDEF. IF (VOLUME=old IPL volser). CHANGE VOLUME(*,new IPL volser). ENDZONEEDIT. /* For other (non-IPL volume files */ ZONEEDIT DDDEF. CHANGE DATASET(old dsn prefix*,new dsn prefix*). ENDZONEEDIT. SET BDY(new dlib zone name). ZONEEDIT DDDEF. CHANGE DATASET(old dsn prefix*,new DSN prefix*). ENDZONEEDIT. For a simple example, if you copied you dlib's from, say, SYS1.A* to SYS1.MAINT.A* and copied the SMPLTS, SMPMTS etc. from SMPE.SMP* to SMPE.MAINT.SMP* then above for the dlib zone would look like: SET BDY(new dlib zone name). ZONEEDIT DDDEF. CHANGE DATASET(SYS1.A*,SYS1.MAINT.A*). CHANGE DATASET(SMPE.SMP*,SMPE.MAINT.SMP*). ENDZONEEDIT. You'll also need to cater for OMVS pathnames. The root filesystem for the maintenance system (and any ancilliary filesystems) would be mounted under a 'service' mountpoint on the system installing maintenance, usually called /service. So you'll need to ZONEEDIT DDDEF PATH as well: ZONEEDIT DDDEF. CHANGE PATH(*,'/service'*). ENDZONEEDIT. Cheers, Ant.

Re: How to start RMF Monitor III automatically after IPL the system.
From context, I suppose SA means System Automation. You can use PARMLIB's MPFLST to call a program on receipt of the RMF initialization complete message (ERB100I); the program calls SVC34 to issue the S RMFGAT command (or whatever). The program can be generalized for other system automation since the message it triggers on is available to the program. In a previous barebones (z/OS 1.8. 1.9) site I used the venerable OTTO from file 332 of the CBT tape quite successfully. File 623 might be more functional, but I can't personally vouch for that one.

Based on your kind replies to my query, the answer is yes. Yes, it isn't just for dataset security. You can ask security questions about any logical resource, even ones you make up yourself. RACF and ACF2 and TopSecret are all called via the same macro (RACROUTE) and they all allow you to ask varieties of essentially the same question: Can user X, do action Y, to resource Z?. So as long as you can correctly formulate the question you want answered in your SVC or PC routine, it doesn't matter which underlying security manager is present. The answer that comes back is one of yes, no, or maybe. How you interpret the answer is up to you. And yes, if you're doing anything non-trivial, using the security manager is a very good idea.

Re: Current production abend of SMTP
Review the MAXMAILBYTES and CHECKSPOOLSIZE parameters in the SMTP configuration dataset. From the z/OS V1.11 CS IP Configuration Reference: The value used for bytes in the MAXMAILBYTES statement determines the space allocations for data sets allocated to hold the mail while it is being processed and is waiting for delivery. Be careful not to use too large a value, or the data sets allocated are too large. This can vary with configuration of DF/SMS on your system. However, in general, the allocation used for the NOTE data sets is equivalent to specifying SPACE=(6233,(a,)), where =round((MAXMAILBYTES/4000)+1) and =round(/2). Use the CHECKSPOOLSIZE statement to specify cause SMTP to check the size of JES spool file. If the JES spool file is larger than the primary allocation for the hlq.TEMP.NOTE data set, the resulting SMTP note is truncated. When the SMTP note is truncated, an informational message EZA5340I or EZA5342I is generated in the SMTP OUTPUT file. If this parameter is not specified, SMTP works as originally designed. Secondary allocations are requested for continuing growth of the hlq.TEMP.NOTE data set. Abend B37 can occur if 16 extents are exceeded and more storage is needed. Cheers Ant.

Re: JES2 msg $HASP473 for CELL Pool and B32K
I'm guessing that since you mentioned JES2 region size the reason code on the $HASP473 message was 8? From looking in SHASSRC, B32K cell pool appears to be a general purpose pool of 32K buffers, used for a variety of purposes: JES2 internally, Spool API, NJE... I imagine you'd need to talk to Computer Associates to find out what CA Dispatcher wants it for. If it happens again, you might try using $TBUFDEF,EXTBUF=(LIMIT=...) to bump up the limit and restart CA Dispatcher and see if it makes much difference. Cheers, Ant.

Re: Receving PTFs for measuring workload that can be processed by ZIIP engine
I suggest you review these two pages: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1_ZOSV1R7_BCPZIIP http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/downloads/ and use the 'IBM zIIP Support for z/OS V1R6-V1R7 and z/OS.e V1R6-V1R7' link... there is a program directory here too.

Re: Health Checker - LNKLST Datasets
I think Ken just wants to know how to display those details. SDSF will tell you. Use primary command 'CK E' to list triggered events, then use the 'S' line command next to the event you want the details about. SDSF provides a nice REXX interface so you can use all that info programmatically if you want. Cheers, Ant.

Re: VSAM RLS and CICS file statistics summary: EXCP counts
Firstly, the EXCP counts reported for RLS files are added up for all tasks accessing that file, not just that individual CICS region (that's stated in the CICS doco). So the EXCP counts may include I/O's from other CICS regions or batch jobs sharing those files (and if not, why are you using RLS?). Also, if you are using spanned records and you have a large record size relative to CI size they may often cross CI boundaries, causing multiple physical I/O's per logical file operation. Lastly, how many index levels do your KSDS's have? So, the results just may be a misinterpretation of the numbers (add up the logical file operations for all tasks sharing those files and compare that to the totalled EXCP count), or you might need some VSAM tuning. I'd guess at the former given the similarity between the EXCP counts for data and index. Cheers, Ant. Northern Territory Government, Australia -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Moore, Ken Sent: Wednesday, 4 November 2009 12:23 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: VSAM RLS and CICS file statistics summary: EXCP counts Hi, I'm having trouble reconciling some CICS EOD statistics for some of our VSAM RLS files, particularly EXCP counts. I am pursuing already what appears to be some serious flaws ust in the documentation regarding what counts as an EXCP for a VSAM RLS file as reported in the CICS statistics records, but here is my question for this list. First, here is what I'm looking at (and hopefully nothing is messed up in the formatting when it's posted to the list) File Get Get Upd Browse Update Add Delete Brws Upd VSAM EXCP Requests RLS req Name Requests Requests Requests Requests Requests Requests Requests Data Index Timeouts ___ DASHQ01 0000 401891013972 1134621 1104397 0 DASHQ01 0000 401891013972 1134621 1104397 0 DASHQ02 0000 694253041913 1773481 1719641 0 DASHQ03 0 130 26506429647 222933 309045 813971 1455166 0 DASHQ04 00000027937 5590849475 0 So, my DASHQ01 file has 402,000 adds and 14,000 browse-update requests, but over a million EXCP counts each for both data and index components. Has anyone seen these sorts of numbers before? Does anyone have any idea what would cause this vast disparity? I am going under the assumption there is something wrong with either the mix of application requests against these files, or something wrong with storageclass configuration (cache structure too small?). These datasets are all defined as LOG(UNDO). Thanks for any feedback or experience-sharing.
