Re: SMF74PSM - PAV Samples
Hello Chris. I'm nor sure about what kind of information you need. Anyhow RMF info is a result of the SMF records gathered or collected during the defined interval, either if you are using WDM or post-processing. Maybe you need some information on I/O response time. About PAV we must remember that the RMF device activity report accounts for all activity to a base and all of its associated alias addresses. Activity on alias addresses is not reported separately, but the alias addresses are accumulated into the base address. Also there are some differences if using PAV or Hyper PAV. The number of "usable" samples gathered is always displayed in the report. Perhaps the following topic would lead you to some more answers to your issues and a detailed interpretation of RMF Device Activity Report: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r9/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zos.r9.erbb500/erbzra70382.htm -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: SMP/E datasets question
Although IBM has some recommendations on it, the SMP/E environment is flexible and allows each one to have it defined as you see more convenient. We can have at least three possible scenarios for it: * Single-CSI structure * Multiple-CSI structure * consolidate previous with a Master CSI Anyway, you need to have, at least, these CSI data sets: * SMPCSI (CSI) SMP/E uses CSIs to keep records of the system. * SMPPTS (PTS) The PTS data set is used as temporary storage for SYSMODs. It contains one member for each SYSMOD received. Each member is called a modification control statement (MCS) entry and is an exact copy of the SYSMOD as it was received from the SMPPTFIN data set. The name of an MCS entry matches the ID of the SYSMOD it contains. Generally, the MCS entries are kept on the PTS until the SYSMOD is accepted; then, under normal processing, they are deleted. * SMPSCDS (SCDS) The SCDS data set contains backup copies of target-zone entries that are modified during APPLY processing. These backup copies are made before the entries are (1) changed by inline JCLIN, a ++MOVE MCS, or a ++RENAME MCS or (2) deleted by an element MCS with the DELETE operand. The backup copies are used during RESTORE processing to return the entries to the way they were before APPLY processing. All the others are required under certain circunstances: The SMPLTS data set is required when processing load modules with CALLLIBS. An SMPMTS DD statement is required for changes to macros that do not reside in a target library. An SMPSTS DD statement is required for changes to source code that does not reside in a target library. I see no problem having only one set of these SMP data sets, as long as you know when and where you must use them. Keep in mind that is better to have those defined in DDDEFs for each zone with enough space for all needs, even if they are the same for all zones. In "SMP/E Commands" you can check for considerations when using Zone or Data sets sharing for each command. If you really want to consolidate your SMP/E enviromnent consider using ZONErelated functions, like ZONEEXPORT, ZONEMERGE and ZONEIMPORT. That way you'll don't need to re-RECEIVE anything. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: SMP/E datasets question
Thank you for your remarks Joel. That's what I was trying to state. The SMP environment is permissive enough to meet all needs, but each one must be aware of possible consequences. Although we must always follow IBM recommendations, it is better to have small deviations than try to rebuild the whole environment from the very beginning following those rules. If anyone really feel the need to do so I'll be glad to help as far as I can.

Re: Notify a user if a job ends with non zero RC
Nevertheless, as XMITIP is written in REXX you can always enhance the notication with your own code, or include a step to test the completion codes of each step in a job and send different messages to different users depending on the results. see: http://www.mail-archive.com/ibm-main@bama.ua.edu/msg05588.html http://www.mail-archive.com/ibm-main@bama.ua.edu/msg05795.html to get an idea.

Re: Notify a user if a job ends with non zero RC
By the way... If you in z/OS 1.9 or above; If you like programming with REXX; Take a look at the new SDSF interface with REXX... You can, for instance, check your job output hourly, as you would do with SDSF panels and check for results... then inform your users if anything goes wrong... even with a simple TSO SEND. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
