Re: Concatenations and blocksizes
ISTM, this restriction is still in place. I ran isrddn the other day and it flagged a dataset in the concatenation that had a smaller blocksize than those following it. We reblocked that data set and isrddn did not complain.

The principal use of this facility is to correct errors that were introduced by its earlier inadvertent use. Simply, any OPEN for WRITE with overriding attributes where the label contains different nonzero attributes should ABEND for inconsistent attributes. If the programmer feels compelled to change attributes the recourse should be: o ZAP the VTOC, or I use the same mis-design to reset it back to the original blocksize. If the change was recent (last couple of days), I make an attempt to find the culprit and have them fix their jcl. Zapping the vtoc is the last (*very* reluctant) resort and only to be done by a very select few. o COPY, reblock, and rename. This is the proper way to make a planned, permanent change to the dataset attributes.

Re: What's the difference in SMP/E between the SOURCEID's called RSUnnnn and PUTnnnn ???
Yes, you are both correct. The serious warning messages, some in red, just scared the heck outta me. Now I have iebcopied the full datasets to larger ones and done the renames manually with ispf being sure to only affect the inactive resvol that is the target for my maint. Now the target pack is full. In other shops we always had a pair of resvols for each environment, sandbox, development(test) and prod. Sometimes even a pair for QA. Here they had a single resvol for each of 3 environments (only 2 a couple months ago) but I am afraid that will not be big enough and we will have to go to 2.

Strategy for applying toleration ptf's before other ptf's that affect members of an rrmplex.

A bit late on this maybe but:
Determine the SU per second of your machine
You can get this with the following REXX code
CVT = STORAGE(10,4)
RMCT = STORAGE(D2X(C2D(CVT)+604),4)
SU = STORAGE(D2X(C2D(RMCT)+64),4)
SU = 1600/C2D(SU)
For a 301 this would be 21857.9235
1 CPU second is therefor 21857.9235 Service Units
Divide this figure by 48.5 to get MIPS = 450.678835
Check that this correct by consulting Gartner etc and adjust the 48.5
more accurately
Use the actual Transaction CPU time to get the percentage of the 450
MIPS used E.G .002 secs = .9 MIPS

Re: Sysplex timeout problems.
We have INTERVAL(85) and OPNOTIFY(87) and CLEANUP(15) so my question is when the resources get frozen. The resources I am concerned about would be the network, probably TCP/IP related, which cause the distributed nodes to get timeouts. Is it when I issue the V,XCF,SYSTS1,OFFLINE or R__,sysname=systs1 or when I click RESET - OK? And when does the INTERVAL and OPNOTIFY period begin. Perhaps this site should set the INTERVAL and OPNOTIFY to something like 30 and 35 to shorten the time the resources are frozen.

Re: Sysplex timeout problems.
I am not sure about VIPA and don't know how to check if that is in use but I doubt it. The production lpar here is considered sacred and recently the test lpar started to require high availability so they carved out this relatively new lpar for our systems sandbox. Each lpar has it's own ip address if that helps. It's only the sandbox that I have been bouncing.

Re: Sysplex timeout problems.
Very interesting. In several shops I have just dealt with the message in a timely fashion. We indeed do the v xcf,sysname,offline and every time one of the other systems gets the error message. It does seem like a kludge to me and I've suggested we set up ZAKK to automagically issue the down. Note now tho that we are getting IXC102A and your note references IXC402D. Furthermore, we don't get a 90 second grace period. We get the error message immediately and in the 60 seconds it takes to reply down we get the 'really ugly problems. On startup the lpar happily rejoins the (mono?)plex with no problems. If you solve this, Barbara, I will bake you some cookies. One other poster suggested the distributed systems connected to the other lpar in this plex may be confused due to VIPA definitions, but I have not tracked that down yet. 1) SHUTSYST a) PF9 = K E,1 2) Stop or cancel tasks that refuse to recede as needed. 3) Use Force as a last resort only. a) ALL AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS COMPLETE 4) $PJES2 a) JES2 ENDED 5) Z EOD 6) V XCF,SYSTS1,OFFLINE a) A confirmation message will prompt you b) R__,sysname=systs1 7) Wait for the screen to blank and a few messages will reappear. a) TYPE 2096 - S07 Mfg = IBM ... 8) On HMC a) Click RESET b) Click OK 9) On one of the other systems that are still up (every second counts!) a) nn IXC102A XCF IS WAITING FOR SYSTEM SYSTS1 DEACTIVATION.

Issued by XCF on another system after 90 seconds when the system in question does not update its couple CDS heartbeat anymore (and does not communicate via XCF signalling anymore). The reason for that failure to communicate *should* always be a 'real' error on that system and never due to that system just getting its icon dragged in the course of normal shutdown. The purpose of vary xcf offline is to tell all connectors to all XCF groups in that sysplex that a system will shortly be going away and do cleanup on behalf of that system.

I should add that this site does _not_ have a CF. XCF is setup and that's about it. The problem is with the distributed systems that use TCP/IP to talk to the mainframe.

Ups, forgot the SFM policy. (We have it active.) BUT: I have also seen IXC102A *even though* sfm was active. *That* was a bug. The book says: 3. There are instances when this message will be issued and the appropriate action must be taken even though there is an SFM policy active in the sysplex. If SFM cannot successfully isolate the system image being removed, manual intervention will be required. This message will be issued and must be responded to. So I guess the question is if there is an SFM policy active.

Re: Command program from the cbt
This version must be pretty old then. I see now in the source that the idfind call is scanning the ckidlist before issuing the racroute macro. I found the ckidlist and put myself in it but I have not found the idfind code to relink the ckidlist into it. This backdoor seems like a juicy item for any auditors who might stumble upon it and I might be accused of security violations if I do not reveal it's existence to my manager. All that is probably a good justification for purchasing a product that adheres to ITIL best practices. Please send me any promotional material you have for me to present to management when I advise them to get your product. The down side is that the only purpose I have seen so far for this program is to issue the vary off and vary on of a volser in the process of cloning a res pack. We use ASG's ZAKK for automation.

There were two versions taht used to be on CBT, one that I had updated a bit but was actually Food Lion's code and another one that we stopped putting there (same name) after 2005 or so that we completely re-wrote and added 36 special commands and IF/THEN/ELSE coding capabilities to the command scripts and now market as SyzCMDZ. The version (originally from Food Lion) does check the Facility class, and our version used to check both the facility class and had a table that could be used to allow finer tuning than just a simple class check. We later changed it so that the fine tuning was included into RACF (or ACF2/TSS) instead so that people didn't have to relink the module every time they wanted to add the capability for someone (or some job) to issue a display command. If you have one of our older versions, you can either have them give you access to the Facility class (classname) or add you to the table. We provided the ability to move the table call before the RACF call, and also to ignore what happened in the RACF call and just use the table, so it's possible that they took one of those avenues. Needless to say, (but I'll say it anyway), if you are running a version that is that old, you might want to think about upgrading to the newest version with all of the special bells and whistles, the normal $5k price is discounted 50% for people who are members of IBMMAIN.

And, even if you apply PTFs on a live sandbox LPAR, this practice is not recommendable. How can you apply maintenance to omvs _and_ z/os from a different lpar?? AFAIK, this is the safest way to apply PTFs on a z/OS system; that is, from one LPAR to a 'dead' LPAR. The DDDEFs for datasets of the target (or dead) LPAR must point to the correct SYSRES volume. The DDDEFs for PATHs of the target (or dead) LPAR must be prefixed by something like '/service/' . Then, the zFS or HFS datasets of the target LPARs must be mounted on the /service/ mountpoint on the living LPAR where the apply job run.

Re: z/os omvs maintenance service and hfs/zfs
What still confuses me about the way these jobs were set up to apply maintenance to z/os is that the bpxprm__ uses the sysr1 symbol as the second level qualifier of the omvs.root/etc/var/java*/sigyroot/scsdroot files so if I clone to reszs3 I still have to apply my maintenance from say reszs1 to apply it to the reszs3 omvs datasets. But then the smp apply job running on reszs1 would have to set boundary to the target zone of reszs3. I thought I would be running the apply on the system I was upgrading. How can you apply maintenance to omvs _and_ z/os from a different lpar??

About 15-20 or so years ago they did away with the discounts and universities started migrating off the mainframe. The few that are left mostly use mainframes for some type of administrative processing. The processing done by students is done on PCs or on eunuchs systems, where years ago the processing was done on mainframes. I don't think IBM failed to convince the university in question to stay on the mainframe; I think IBM abandoned the educational mainframe market a long time ago. snip I'm not sure, but I think there was some kind of consent decree or other as a result of an Anti-Trust action that put the skids to this. Now that all those have expired (I think), one might wonder when IBM will go for this market driver again.

Subject: Re: JCT Not Available
Unfortunately, it is possible to have a JOBID and still be running
under MSTR.
That is: Every STC running under a JES will have a JOBID. However, not
every STC with a JOBID is necessarily running under a JES. As an
example,
*MASTER* on my system has a JOBID. But that is the Master Scheduler
which is started at IPL time. It is not running under JES!
And doing an SE line command in SDSF for *master* is a nice touch to see
the syslog of that system, all the edit commands can easily be used to
search for things. I tend to use this right after an IPL, when I need to
see if anything has failed to start or got an error and a few other
catchphrases ('only failed' as an edit command, for instance).
Automation netview is another example of an STC started sub=mstr that
gets itself a jobid later to place the AOFLOG.
When I got 'JCT NOT AVAILABLE' I was told to issue the SDSF command
'input on' in the command line. I have never understood why, and
besides, in many cases it didn't help, anyway.

Re: SMS Dataset Allocation Problem
Most people are running on VIRTUAL disks anyway. z/os may see a 2105 or a 2107 but in most cases its tiny little brown round and spinning in RAID 5 on the SAN so it doesn't much matter any more. We used to place datasets on disks in accordance to their activity level and distance from the VTOC. To check your work you could open the door, look into the HDA and watch how much the actuator was bouncing around.

It was CICS and a few batch jobs. I don't have a problem with multi-volume datasets at all, and in fact I design SMS to allocate large datasets on as many volumes as possible. It was simply having so many candidate volumes for every dataset, 1 track or 1 pack, was excessive and we started having TIOT blow outs. I think we were using 20 for the unit count when the problem happened. We ended up using 5 for both VSAM and PS and, let SRS from DTS look after adding volumes beyond five.

And, IIRC, DB2 uses a different type of table for allocation. The number of datasets it can allocate is way beyond what the TIOT, in theory, allows for.
