Re: Differences in IEFTMS7 and IEFTMS8
You remember correctly, those messages have been with the product since UCC1 days.

There was more than once that these messages reminded some flustered (or green)operator that they should have set the TOD. In those days we IPL'ed at least once a week on a planned basis, too. IEFTMS8 is a WTOR, the others are just WTOs. This code was again useful for those shops that set their TOD forward for Y2K testing. Good safety net on the way back.

Re: Measuring performance with job elapsed time
Roded Bahat wrote: Hello, We're rewriting a batch application to work with more than one task as it does now. The basic idea is to divide the work needed to be done into 2 or more different tasks in order to allow parallel processing and decrease the job's elapsed running time. The improvement we're expecting to see is a decrease in the elapsed time. The CPU will most likely not change much as the amount of work being done remains the same (except maybe for the task managing overhead). Does anyone have any idea of how I could accurately and empirically measure the performance gain in a situation such as this? Unfortunately, we don't have a sterile environment to produce the before and after elapsed time and conclude the gained performance percentage from that. Thanks a lot, Roded You can't use elapsed time. Even running the same job over and over again you will get different elapsed time. In fact it is possible that nothing will change. If both jobs are competing for the same resources (data?) then they could hold each other up enough to make no change in elapsed time. It would probably better to attempt to tune the application or the environment. It all depends on what the job is doing. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: Comparing Mainframe and Windows Server CICS Transactions per kWh
Fred Schmidt wrote: The latest z/Journal has a study by Microsoft comparing Windows against the mainframe in terms of electrical power usage for CICS web-based applications. It claims that Windows is many times more efficient. You can find the PDF document at http://www.zjournal.com/redir.cfm?rid=939 Comments? Well, some of this has been stated by others: They never ran on a real 2094-704. They assumed the transaction rate based on using a specific test set of LSPR tests. They assumed that somebody would actually run a distributed Intel based Windows box a 84+% busy the majority of the time. Most Windows server guys I talk to start looking at adding new servers once they get above any extended time period running at 30-40% busy (extended being more than 1 or 2 hours). This would mean 2-3 of the distributed servers to run the same level of workload at the 30-40% busy level. I don't know where the got the 5,221 watts from, because the paper they reference showing the z9 power consumption showed 3,916 watts for a 2094-704. They don't talk about what happens if you need to support a workload greater than the test environment could handle, or greater than the extrapolated z9 workload could handle. From the z/9 power paper a 2094-716 uses 5,920 and had 3x the throughput. I doubt if the Prime system could be upgraded enough to handle 3x the throughput, so you would need to add more distributed boxes and then add equipment to do the load balancing between those servers. Then if they are like most distrusted environments, 1 or 2 extra servers just in case one of the other ones fail. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: Using RACF for Single Signon ( logon )
As Rich Smrcina said, this can be accomplished by using LDAP. For OS that support using NIS servers (Unix/Linux), you can even use LDAP on z/OS as a NIS server, thus you don't even have to add users to the local security database. In addition to politics you may also run into password length problems. Our distributed guys want 16 character passwords at a minimum. They feel that 6 characters is too short (our current RACF minumum), even with a 4 tries and your revoked. Marvin Lukasik wrote: In thinking about uses for the mainframe to extend its life, one that came to mind is using RACF as a password server so users need only a single password to logon into the many systems they must access. Like most shops today, we have a multitude of Microsoft Unix servers, each having different security and hence, different passwords. We have reviewed many offerings from vendors and most ( if not all ) completely ignore the mainframe and are ENORMOUSLY expensive. Also, their performance was disappointing and their systems were buggy. I would be interested in hearing comments about anyone who has heard of a RACF-based product or written something of their own to accomplish this.

I spent some time looking into the SNTPD daemon that came out with z/OS 1.4. SNTPD only supports being a stratum 1 server (where stratum 0 is a time reference like an atomic clock or a sysplex timer). Nowhere does the (scant) doc say that SNTPD syncs the z/OS clock: it sounds like IBM assumes you have a big studly 'plex and the sysplex timer support takes care of your clock for you. So, this version of SNTPD looks like a dead end. If I were asked to write one of these, I know how I'd try to do it; it should be easy. There are tons of little freebie time syncers available for Windows; surely there's something for big computers too? -- Jim Blalock z/OS Support, Clemson University (864) 656-3680 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: Setting the Creation Date for datasets
Unless I am misunderstood he is creating a MVS file and not a Unix System Services file, so what attributes is he attempting to keep? Even if is he ftp'ing to Unix System Services what system attributes will he be maintaining, other than create date/time? The owner and group ID's and permissions will all be different. If who created is not the same, does it matter when it was actually created? From the point of view of an auditor.

An auditor should applaud such attention to detail, because it preserves attribute information about the data rather than losing it just because the data crossed system boundaries. Making it part of the file name does not preserve it as a file attribute. It is a crude workaround, at best.
