sharing data sets acrosss systems

2008-08-25 Thread John C. Wolf
There used to be an IBM manual about placement of system daya sets in MVS.
It also told what system data sets could be shared and not shared.
Does any one knoe what that manual is now or where I can find such 
information?

We just installed z/OS 1.9 and are sharing the logrec data set between three 
LPARS and I am not sure if this is ok.

Thanks

capacity planning

2008-08-13 Thread John C. Wolf
I have been given the task doing capacity planning for our z9 machine and I 
have NEVER done this before and have no idea of where to get started.
So my question is are there any books red or other wise which would point me 
at some method of doing this or programs which help with this task. Also do 
any of you folks have any thoughts to help me?
Thanks in advance

Re: SDSF GIVING ACCESS TO THE LOG COMMAND

I do the refresh command all  the time I change the SDSFPARM file.
I don't use RACF and just use the SDSFPARM file to control SDSF.

SDSF GIVING ACCESS TO THE LOG COMMAND

2008-03-14 Thread John C. Wolf
I am trying to give a user access to the SDSF LOG display command and I am 
having trouble doing so.
I have added the LOG keyword to the AUTH part of his ISPFPARM member but 
try as I mite I can't get it to show up on his SDSF menu.
Now this user is just a user and not a sysprog or any thing like that.
I looking in the SDSF Operation and Customization book on page 160
there is a a section that talks about setting up generic profiles and an
example of protecting commands complete with REDEFINE and PERMIT
commands but no were, that I can find, does this book explain how to go 
about and do this. I know that I am over looking something but for the life of 
me I can't find it. This book is the only one that I can find on the IBM web 
site 
which covers SDSF.This is the site which has all the books per release of 
z/OS. We are on z/OS 1.7.

Thanks for any help you guys/gals can give me.

branching to zero

2007-11-26 Thread John C. Wolf
I have a problem with some TSO users getting 0C1s at logon.
It appears that some module is branching to zero but I can't find it.
I set a IF slip for range 0 to 10 but it will not spring.
I did install a new version of JES2 V1R7 on Friday but only  a few TSO users 
have this problem.
Does any one have any ideas on how to shoot this problem.

Look at R15.

But if the IF won't hit, check the PL value.

 Subject: branching to zero


 I have a problem with some TSO users getting 0C1s at logon.
  
In this case, I always look at what is in Registers 14 and 15. If
R15==0, then I assume that R14 contains the a return address. I then
look at (R14)-2 to see if it is a BALR or BASR instruction. If so, then
I see what module R14 is pointing into and look at it.

On z/OS 1.8 running on a z9, there is a BEAR register which contains the
branch from address. But I don't think that is in 1.7.

All regs are zero except R13 and reg 15 15 has an 8 in it.
Reg 13 has an address in it but I would think that is the save area address.

John,
tell me, what's the common denominator, the thing that's special with the
failing logonIDs? In other words, what's different when compared to a
logonID that works?
Logon proc?
Dataset allocation accessing obsolete / backlevel version of software?
Startup Clist/Exec?
Personal customization?
Homegrown commands with a dependency on JES2 level (that need 
recompiling)?
Is SDSF up to speed?

When the S0C1 occurs, does the session just fail or does it recover? Did you
get a SYSUDUMP to look at?
Did you try a simple, more generic SLIP to trap any S0C1 occurrence?

 I did get a slip for the 0C1 but not the IF.

Re: Workload manager

2006-11-09 Thread John C. Wolf
We have a modified the code which we got from Amdahl which they called 
JOBSTREAM MANAGER this code assignes job class based on how much storage 
you need and how much time you want and if you use tape drives.
I was hoping that we could do away with these exits as they are going to 
be very hard to retrofit as IBM has broken exit 3  2 into two parts and 
the part I need to use now runs in the user's address space. The PCE in 
nolonger addressable. There for I will have to rework these exits and we 
want to get rid of as many exits as we can.

Re: z/OS 1.7 Upgrade of JES2 Exit 52

2006-10-24 Thread John C. Wolf
I think that you should try a slip trap for 0C4 on the load module.
That way the slip does the dump before the estay gets control.
I have shoot many JES2 exit bugs this way. 
Works very well.

z/OS logrec problem

2006-06-20 Thread John C. Wolf
We are installing z/OS R1.7 and are having a problem with the LOGREC 
allocation. We have a sysplex that is running z/OS R1.6 in production.
In IEASYSxx we tell the system that the logrec dataset should be 
SYS1.LOGREC. I know what the system has in IEASYSxx by using Mark's MVS 
Utilities - IPLINFO which will tell you all maner of things including 
what parms are passed to MVS at IPL time.
 But we get this message:
IXG231I IXGCONN REQUEST=CONNECT TO LOG STREAM SYSPLEX.LOGREC.ALLRECS 3
DID NOT SUCCEED FOR JOB *MASTER*.  RETURN CODE: 0008  REASON CODE:
0802  DIAG1: 000C  DIAG2: 02010C29  DIAG3: 031F0009  DIAG4:   
  
We don't use the sysplex loger any more and we never used the loger by 
that name. We don't have this problem on our z/OS R1.6 systems.
We use three IEASYSxx data sets but we don't see what our problem is.
If any one has any ideas we would REALY appreciate any help you guys can 
give us.
Thanks in advance.

Are you saying this works in 1.6 but when you IPL 1.7 you see this
error?  If so, when?   Are you sure there isn't a SETLOGRC LOGSTREAM
command issued during the IPL process (IEACMDxx, COMMNDxx, automation,
etc.)?

SDSF authorizing

2005-10-04 Thread John C. Wolf
I havew a problem with SDSF under z/OS 1.4. I have a user who needs to
see jobs which are not hers. She can see a listing of all the jobs she
just can't look at any output.
The folling are the SDSFPARMS entries that I have set up but they don't
work. She still gets 'Not authorized for job' message when she tres to
look at any output.
IUID(DSFADJP),
ACTION(ALL),
AUTH(DA,H,I,INPUT,O,PR,ST,INIT,PREF,DEST,FINDLIM),
DADFLT(IN,OUT,TRANS,READY,STC,INIT,TSU,JOB),
DSPAUTH(ALL),
ICMD(IDSFADJP),
IDSP(IDSFADJP),
The rest follow but I woun't bore you all with them.
Here are a few NTBL entries:
NTBL NAME(IDSFADJP)
  NTBLENT STRING(A700SFA),OFFSET(1)
There are a lot more entries but these are the ones which I think control
what I am trying to do.
She is trying to see jobs which are SFA I have entered all the job
names which end with SFA.
Thank for any help

Rich,
In your message you asked me to have her do a who and you were right the
relevant fieldes GRPINDEX=48,GRPNAME=ISF00048 are for the group which is
directly ahead of her and their IUID is IUID(DFSA) which is the high order
four bytes of her id which is DFSADJP.
So what should I do? should I move her entry before the DFSA entry?
