convert DB2 data to a flat file
One of my clients is running a DB2 application on an iSeries system (not sure about the version). Their goal is to send us DB2 application data in the form of a flat file that can then be loaded to a non-DB2 application on our z/OS system (1.9). Is there a third party product or a utility they can use to accomplish this?

Re: A STP question
Hi Jim, Assuming that you are on z9 running z/OS 1.7 or greater AND that you have at least Driver 67 then you can configure your STP client to an NTP server by using the spare Ethernet port on your support element. We have done just that. It's the support element that needs to have connectivity to wherever NTP server is located.

Re: Changing Mainframe's Clock
Hi Kayhan, We recently implemented STP on our z9. What I found was that you can maintain separate times per sysplex but not individual LPARs. In other words, if you have two Sysplexes P1 P2 and two LPARs per each sysplex then Syplex P1 P2 can technically maintain separate times but the individual LPARs within the sysplex cannot. At least that was my experience.

Chargeback tools
I'm interested in comparing tools for resource-use-based chargeback. We don't have one today. The goal is to track the use of computing resources on the Mainframe. Besides CICS (transactions based), DASD (usage based, MSU usage etc .. what else should be accounted for? Comparing existing expenses with that modeled after an industry standard tool should help breakdown costs for all departments. What are you folks using -- any recommendations .. suggestions.. books on the subject .. would be helpful. Could such a tool also be used for 'predictive analysis' - e.g. how would adding 10 more CICS' affect my system resources. On the flip side, and not knowing if such a tool is really the answer, shouldn't data provided by CMF/RMF reports be enough to extrapolate.

Re: Network Time Protocol (NTP) client support question
Thanks for all your responses. 2nd Level support too came back with the 'z/OS currently is not implemented as SNTPD client' response. However, they did add my name to the list of their 'Marketing database inquiries' for such a request. Apparently there are others who have made similar requests but the numbers aren't enough to get any consideration. The fact that it would require a design change would lead me to believe that there was no immediate plan to add this feature in the upcoming z/OS releases either. Unfortunately, the PCI standard is big on absolute statements such as Synchronize all critical system clocks and times and Verify that NTP or similar technology is used for time synchronization. Anything that does not meet the specified standards must have a compensating control that meets and exceeds the requirement. The assessor on-site, is here to both ensure we are in compliance with the PCI standard and to help us find solutions to help us comply. In our discussion yesterday he specifically stated that setting time manually has not been accepted by Visa in their review of similar PCI reports. Hopefully, we can come up with a compromise.

Re: Soft Capping
One thing we found out the hard way was that the software charge for IBM products, under soft cap setup, can really get skewed -- e.g. -- say the charge for WAS is MSU based and it is active (runs) all day -- also say ,on average, it uses 80 MSU -- you then look at your SCRT at the end of the month and see WAS is being charged at 100 MSU.. how on earth is that possible Well, in our case we found that during the batch process, the CPU got pegged at 100 MSU (once a month is all it takes). You know what, just because WAS was active at the time the batch process was chewing up CPU -- you wind up paying for the max use of CPU for WAS too. All it takes is one CPU spike in any given month (SCRT reporting window). Soft capping works great as it allows me to meet my SLAs but keep that in mind when you plan MSU based license charge.

We use a coupling facility LPAR with dynamic dispatch disabled to control the amount of CPU available to the other LPARs on the machine. The zOS LPARs are all uncapped to allow each LPAR to use any unused capacity. Walter Medenbach On Feb 9, 2008 5:23 AM, Kelman, Tom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This has been cross posted to the MXG list. At the end of last year I was asked to determine what would be practical soft caps for our LPARs. We are currently at z/OS v1.7 so we can't cap at the CEC level yet. Of course, the reason for the cap was to keep software costs down, especially for the OEM software. We have an agreement with most of our vendors that we won't use more than 110 MSUs out of our 138 MSU box. My direction was that we didn't want the total MSU 4HRA to go about 110. So I split 110 between the three LPARs we have as equitably as I could based on a years worth of analysis. This split came to 90 MSUs for production, 19 MSUs for development, and 1 MSU for the sysprog sandbox. We have just hit the cap on development and they are screaming blood murder because there are some deadlines to meet for a conversion. So they want to increase the cap on development. My suggestions were to take some from production and give it to development or to just increase development since the high 4HRA for the individual LPARs never occur at the same time. Now, after that explanation, my question. Has anybody had to cap their machine by LPAR like this? If so, do you insure that the individual caps would add up to some sort of specified limit, or did you set them a little higher realizing that they probably wouldn't hit the max all in the same day? Of course taking the second route will leave open the possibility of going over the CEC 4HRA that you want (in our case 110 MSUs). I'd appreciate any ideas anyone has on determining these caps. Please don't say that you're not in favor of capping to keep software costs down. Neither am I so you'd be preaching to the choir.

My answer may be a little flaky here because I don't have all the details (management controlled and pricing has a lot to do with that). Today, data exists on a SHARK. For one-off occurrence, would it not make sense to go from a SHARK to SHARK or DS8100 and not worry about future maintenance costs.

Seven years later, in spite of unprecidented industry-wide MIPS growth, the smallest z9BC (available 2Q06) is a 2096-A01 cycling at only 26 MIPS or 4 MSU. I calculate a drop in MSU of about 86%. Yes, although in fairness the drop to 26 MIPS and 4 MSUs occurred with the z890 Model 110. The z9 BC continued this capacity setting. You can softcap/subcap license 3 z/OS MSUs on any model, so 4 is not actually the minimum. zNALC is also available if you qualify. Now that z/VSE V4 and MWLC are available, you can configure a z9 BC Model B01 (~38 MIPS) and pay subcapacity on that (softcap at roughly 50%). It's a substantial drop in entry price from z/VSE V3 (i.e. full capacity 26 MIPS) from what I can tell.
