Re: Converting / Copying a dataset from RECFM=UA to RECFM=FB

2008-08-07 Thread Mansell, George R.
I think reading recfm u returns the length in register 1. If he writes
variable he will be responsible for the block and record prefixes. It
should be simpler to write fixed with a little blank padding.

Do remember I'm a bit rusty on these matters.

It's possible that your BLKSIZE=0 caused JES2 - was it? - to come up
with a 
rubbish BLKSIZE. I seem to remember that, if a parameter is missing -
and 0 
would be considered missing for BLKSIZE - the value set by the program 
opening and closing the data set for the equivalent parameter is going
to set 
it. In addition the program can reset already specified parameters as
shown by 
the change from FB to UA. This may also be a consequence of your having 
specified BLKSIZE=0. There are a lot of guess here.

If JES2 - as I suppose - has specified "A" as one of the RECFM
characters - 
mapped from bits internally if my memory is to be trusted - it probably
did so 
for a reason and the printout is probably prepared with the "ASA"
carriage 
control characters.

Note also that your program which insists on FB or VB is very probably 
capable - although it's not guaranteed! - of dealing with FBA and VBA.
In 
other words it is interested only in dealing with "fixed" or "variable" 
organisation and probably even doesn't care whether or not the records
are 
blocked.

My first idea was to suggest you try again using the following in your
IEFBR14 
job step:

//STEP01   EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//DD1  DD DSN=MY.DATASET,
//DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),SPACE=(CYL,(125,50),RLSE),
//DCB=(RECFM=FBA,LRECL=133,BLKSIZE=133)

But now I appreciate where the LRECL=133 came from in what you showed as

the data set characteristics in your original post. This inclines me to
think that 
the BLKSIZE=101 may be trusted as the largest block created and that
other 
blocks are created which are equal to or smaller than 101 - and that
when 
RECFM=U was specified it was meant to be just that: "undefined".

Since you have written a little "read a record"/"write the record"
program, 
perhaps you can adjust that to read the undefined blocks one at a time,
note 
the length - someone who knows precisely how by heart please jump in -
and 
write it out as a record with "variable" organisation, that is, with the
correct 
length half-word and null half-word at the beginning.

Note that you can specify any BLKSIZE value you like - greater than 105
for 
reasons I hope you understand - and the system will take care of when to

write out your blocks with your variable length records. You do not even
need 
to specify the DCB parameters in your JCL but rather you can specify
them all 
in the DCB macros within your program. I'm pretty sure you need bother
only 
with BLKSIZE and RECFM and that LRECL will be needed neither 
with "undefined" organisation nor with "variable" organisation.

With any luck there remains now only the question of whether or not the 
recipient of the email can do anything with the carriage control
character. If 
he/she complains about the useless extra character at the beginning of
each 
line - printable at least since it's "ASA", you can use your little
program just to 
throw it away - or - if you want to be really helpful, you could look up
what 
the "ASA" control characters mean in terms of manoeuvering a printer
carriage 
and adjust your output accordingly, even, for instance, going as far as 
simulating a new page using a full line of hyphens.

If you have the SMF type 119 records turned on, then you could try to
find the connect record for that LU name in the given time period. I.e.
start at the time the error occurred and go back in time until you find
the first connection record for that LU. One problem: if the IP address
is assigned via DHCP (as most are anymore), then the IP address may be
insufficient to track down the perp. Most DHCP servers don't bother to
log an IP address vs. MAC address association.

No, I don't have such a routine.

Dear All,

 

We had a user trying to logon using somebody's elses user-id, and he
accidently (or on purpose) enter a wrong password for more than 3 times,
that caused that id to actually revoked by RACF.

 

Is there a way to trace that back to the computer names/IP? So we can
know for sure who or at least from whose terminal that does that?

 

We saw the syslog and sees something like this

The terminal GI15126 is IP POOLed Terminal, dynamic depending on the
request. It stays on somebodys's emulator until he/she closes it.

 

So if I want to know, during this time terminal GI15126 is being opened
by whose PC's name/IP how?

 

Any help and suggestion is highly appreciated.

Subject: STOPX37 & SMS loop

Has anybody using STOPX37 seen a problem where it gets in a loop
fighting with SMS over an insufficient space condition?   Anybody
have suggestions on how to avoid it?

Details:
A process is submitted via CONNECT:Direct (aka NDM) specifying SMS 
STORCLAS, MGMTCLAS, and DATACLAS  that result in selection of
volumes with too little space for the dataset being transfered. 
1. SMS says
IGD17272I VOLUME SELECTION HAS FAILED FOR INSUFFICIENT SPACE 
FOR DATASET ... 

2. STOPX37 says 
SVM4000I ...  ATTEMPTING SPACPRIM FOR ...

3.  SMS repeats indefinitely
IGD17272I VOLUME SELECTION HAS FAILED FOR INSUFFICIENT SPACE 
FOR DATASET ... 

Is there some way to cause a hard failure in situations like this?

I don't think CONNECT:Direct is significant in this except that 
this request is coming from an outside business partner.  We have 
absolutely no control over the size of the dataset or SMS parms 
specified.  

BTW, SMS and STOPX37 are way out of my areas of responsibility
and expertise.   I'm going to have to convey any suggestions to 
others that don't read IBM-Main.   Don't assume comprehension
on my part.

There is no "data error" possible with a PACK instruction. The
programmer must validate that his input is valid before doing a PACK.
Now, it is possible that the PACK instruction will create output which
is not a valid packed decimal number. But that will not be detected
until another decimal instruction tries to use it (such as ZAP, or AP,
or SP, or ...).

Subject: Export catalog by FTP

Hello everybody:

  We want to export a test catalog to our disaster site and we want use the 
FTP because we don't share unit tapes between us. 
We've tried to use the export function and then send by ftp (in binary) to the 
same dataset in the disaster site (with the same DCB), but the import cancels 
with code 12.
Another way with a dump dfdss (IBM-MAIN post), but also the restore cancels 
with cod.08 because the dataset hasn't been created with dfdss.

Is there any way or the only is with tape o DASD between both sides?

Thanks

All,

I've modified my VTAM Logon Screen and now want to "activate" it. Is 
this possible without an IPL? I guess I have to do a "F LLA,REFRESH" and

then to restart the TN3270-Server. But what do I have to do for the 
"real" 3270-Terminals? Restart VTAM? How?


Thank you - guess it is a simple question for VTAM-Guys but I'm pretty

Maybe leap seconds won't be an issue:

http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/leap_second_poll.html

Alan

Leap seconds are a PITA.  I'd like to reflect your question
to IBM:  What customers' business needs was IBM addressing
in choosing to run the TOD clock on IAT (minus ten seconds),
rather than on UT1 which would avoid the discontinuities
of leap seconds.

While IBM is ahead of the crowd in recognizing leap seconds,
the implementation is lackadaisical.  An enthusiastically
faithful implementation would, when TIME was called in the
middle of a leap second, return 23:59:60.500, the correct UTC.

Subject: Connect:Direct (NDM) CPU Usage

We run Connect:Direct (used to be called NDM) from Sterling Commerce.
Yesterday afternoon the started task, CDNDM, took from 50-60% of an
engine on our z9BC for almost 2 hours while it transferred a large file.
This caused us to hit our softcap and affected other tasks in the
system.  We have the CDNDM task running in our STCLO service class which
is set for Vel=50 and an importance level of 4.  It was still running at
a high DP and grabbed the CPU.  I can't understand why a task that is
basically transmitting a file over the network should need this much
CPU.  My only explanation might be that it is compressing the data
before putting it on the network and the compression algorithm isn't the
most efficient in the world.

 

Has anyone else had this kind of a problem running Connect:Direct?
What, if anything, did you do to control it?

Forwarded on behalf of a colleague...




IBM recommended a while back that TCP/IP Segmentation Offload to
the OSA card be disabled.  Microcode was made available in April to fix
the offload code.  We are now at this new microcode level and are
considering re-enabling the offload functionality.   We are aware of
APAR PK64756. 
 
Has anyone experienced any problems after re-enabling
Segmentation Offload?
 
Any recommendations on the best way to measure the positive
performance impact that segmentation offload provides to TCP/IP (CPU,

We enabled SEGMENTATIONOFFLOAD on the sandbox (z/OS 1.9) yesterday, but
there's very little TCPIP load on the sandbox (still doing IVP of 1.9,

should "stress" it to the breaking point (maybe FTP-ing some SMF offload

We have a load of about 10% on the OSA's and still the segmentation
offload managed to crash both shared osa's and managed to make most
production-hosts unreachable.
Of course this happened during the night in my standby week. :/

I wont activate it until I'm convinced that the risk of the same

SSL/TLS TN3270 sessions.  All users are using PCOMM.
After converting, one user has called me and says that he gets

1 hour later he timed out with a S522 (TSO time-out value reached).  I'm

Anyone have an idea why a user might get disconnected when using SSL/TLS

I agree. I guess to really make this do what I would generally want, I'd
need to do something like:

LRVHR0,INTEL_HALFWORD
SLL R0,16
SRA R0,16

That would propagate the sign bit correctly. That's for only using the
32 bit register. For using 64 bit, I'd replace the 16 with 48.

in the same Domain; so how can you have a Dependent LU?. Besides, there 
is no TN3270 client (AFAIK) for z/OS. However my customer - not on the 
face of it, a fool - sincerely believes that this is what he is doing, 
today.

So who is right? Can I open a TN session to a host in another domain???

Many thanks for any clues
Andrew

There are multiple "they" involved here.  The bug was in microcode
and/or hardware.  The enablement code is in z/OS and has been 
there for a number of releases. 

I think there was an unrealistic assumption that the bug would be 
easy to fix.  You can see this in the way the disablement code was
implemented:

1.  None at all
2.  An undocumented command.  
(There is no documented support for MODIFY in TCP/IP.)
3. A TCP/IP profile parm - defaulting to Enabled 
4. A TCP/IP profile parm - defaulting to Disabled

I predict the next step will be removing the enablement code
altogether.  :-)
