Escon and Ficon Extensions
My company is currently running from our hotsite after declaring and executing a disaster at our primary site (too close to the Missouri River this summer). We're looking for alternate sites to move our primary site to that are closer to home. I guess we were kind of in denial that we'd ever declare a disaster and never really planned for coming back from the hotsite. It's amazing what comes up in an actual disaster that never made it into our semi-annual tests. Anyway, the purpose of this email is to ask if there is any way to extend both Escon and ficon channels out of whatever turns out to be our computer room? We have some candidates to move back to, but would prefer to run them dark and put our tape drives and operators in another room or building. We have a 2098 CPU and both 3490 Escon and 3590 ficon tape drives. I probably left out a lot of needed details but would appreciate any responses. If there's no way to extend these channels, does anyone know off the top of their head how long the channel cables can be? Thanks in advance.

zAAp on zIIP Question
Greetings All, I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with the ZAAPZIIP feature of z/OS 1.11 yet. We know not all zIIP-eligible work is dispatched to a zIIP engine (about 50% of DB2 9 DDF work if what I've read is correct). If one has only zIIP engines and uses the ZAAPZIIP option on z/OS 1.11 is the same penalty applied or will all zAAP-eligible work be dispatched to the zIIP engines. We have one zAAP engine now and are looking to upgrade our CPU to a z10 and add a zIIP. We're wondering if we'd be better off putting two zIIPs on (no zAAP) and using ZAAPZIIP=YES. We wouldn't want to do it this way if there is a penalty. Current zAAP usage is 30-40% in peak hours on a z9. zIIP-eligible work looks like it will only save us 3-6% of our GP CPU but we're expecting growth in DDF processing.

Re: CA-MSM (was Re: Now is time for banks to replace ...)
I installed this about a month ago on my own. I had some help from CA (Summer Spaulding) during the install. I'm also vaguely recalling the pre-verification script telling me I needed some RACF permissions that I already had. Since I knew I had the permissions, I assumed it was a script error and continued with the install. I didn't have any problems related to these messages. I've used MSM to install some DB2 trial products. I'm impressed. In reference to some earlier threads, maybe it's time to start worrying, except I had to install the product that's supposed to be the threat. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Mark Zelden Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 2009 3:11 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: CA-MSM (was Re: Now is time for banks to replace ...)

We had z/OS (1.7) up in two hours but spent the remainder of the test ironing out server restores. One item that has arisen because of this is questioning if we need to keep our DNS on a Windows server. We had everything restored and ready to go on z/OS by noon but had to wait another 6-8 hours for a DNS before we could test WAS. Specifically: * Does z/OS have any DNS services? If we could get a DNS going with z/OS we'd have a definite ETA on when it's available. * If so, is it recommended to run your DNS on z/OS? * Again, if so, does anyone have any experiences/recommendations they'd care to share?

Re: LDAP in z/OS 1.6 question
Semi-LDAP rookie here(z/OS 1.4). Don't you have to say which objectclasses you need any time you're adding a new record. Does it work if you include the objectclass=top objectclass=OnCallNotes lines in your LDIF file when adding the NoteNumber=6 record? -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Kevin Mullin Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 11:40 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: LDAP in z/OS 1.6 question This is a code issue. I'm trying to do something, and its not working, and I need some help from someone who knows LDAP in z/OS 1.6. Here is a statement of my problem. By the way, I am cloning an existing system, one that I wrote, to come up with a similar system to achieve a similar result, an LDAP database with information that can be used in a web application to display data to end users on their web browsers using CGI programs written in REXX to generate HTML to go back to the client browser. I've defined a schema for my new data, and have run ldapmodify to add the schema, and that works quite nicely. Here are portions of that: objectclasses: ( 9.9.99.9.9.10.91 NAME 'OnCallNotes' DESC 'Defines the OnCallNotes object' SUP top Structural MUST ( NoteNumber ) MAY (Date $ OnCallCUID $ Summary $ Notes ) ) objectclasses: ( 9.9.99.9.9.10.92 NAME 'OCLastNumber' DESC 'Last OnCallNote number generated' SUP top Structural MUST ( NoteNumber ) ) of course the rest of this file contains attribute definitions for Date, OnCallCuid, Summary and Notes. The addition was fine. Then I tried to add some data with ldapadd and a text file that contained: NoteNumber=4, ou=OnCallNotes, o=ccss objectclass=top objectclass=OnCallNotes NoteNumber=4 Date=2006/04/11 OnCallCUID=KMULLIN Summary=This is the first test note Notes=This is a long note of what happened in an on call situation. And it worked quite nicely, but then I tried to add this with LDAP add: NoteNumber=6, ou=OCLastNumber, o=ccss NoteNumber=6 and it failed with: adding new entry NoteNumber=6, ou=OCLastNumber, o=ccss ldap_add: Object class violation ldap_add: additional info: R001071 Entry did not contain an object class. (schem aimpl.c|1.74.2.2|1558), (schemaimpl.c|1.74.2.2|1578), (tdbm_add.c|1.90.1.3|816) Can someone help me by telling me what I did wrong? # Attention: The information contained in this message and or attachments is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Re: Systems Programmer Levels Justification
Grab a Messages and Codes manual. Count the number of resolutions that say something along the lines of Contact your SYSTEMS programmer vs. Contact anyone else. :) Perhaps a little bitterness seeping through here. I have a DBA that stops working on anything once he finds that phrase in the manual. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Desi de la Garza Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 2:43 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Systems Programmer Levels Justification MVS Listers, We are in the process of justifying the requirement of having multiple levels of SysProg job titles depending on experience and knowledge. At the same time provide management with information as to why SysProgs are higher salaried than application programmers. They are at a loss as to why that is. Weird that they do not question why a network tech makes more than the applications also. Can someone guide me to where I may be able to locate such info?

RMF/SMF Type 72 Storage
I've been looking for most of the week. I see that storage is not tracked for report classes in RMF but I haven't been able to find a place where this is documented. I've checked the RMF manuals but haven't found anything saying so. Does anyone know where I can find this documented? I need proof. # Attention: The information contained in this message and or attachments is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Re: Allowing Joe User into TSO
We got around the TSO need by implementing Zeke's CICS interface, then controlling it with transaction security. I think that interface comes standard with Zeke. Another option to consider for you. Local policies and politics notwithstanding. Also assuming you have CICS/TS. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Steve Grimes Sent: Friday, October 28, 2005 2:06 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Allowing Joe User into TSO Hello again! We'll I'm certainly enjoying the exchange. I think the initial responses covered what I was after. An additional detail for the curious -- Joe User currently has a Roscoe account and uses it to submit jobs that do updates. So, he has a reasonable amount of RACF authority already. But, alas, not enough due to recent (long overdue) tightening of RACF rules.So he calls us, and we submit this one job. Zeke has the authority to submit what they want, and the Work Center function (within) can be set up so they can only submit that -one- job. This would also serve as a proof of concept for migrating JCL stuff away from users (and Roscoe) and toward better (I think) control via the Zeke Work Center.

Re: CA-Librarian -SEL RACF
You're right. I copied it from an old rexx exec I had and missed a few of the edits needed to run it. My point was to use the -EXTRACT command rather than the -SEL command. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Edward E.
