DFDSS copy

2011-03-01 Thread Matan Cohen
Hi,

for some reason I needed to empty a DASD disk from its content (All files
are DB2 VSAMS) .
i noticed there is a multivolume DSNs so i added the 'SPHERE' &
'SELECTMULTI' .

so after backing up the disk i run this JCL :
//ADB2CPY JOB ,,CLASS=A,REGION=0M,MSGCLASS=X,
//MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
//BFFDBB29  EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//DASDDD UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=,DISP=SHR
//OUTDSK  DD UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=,DISP=SHR
//SYSINDD *
 COPY DATASET( -
 INCLUDE(  DBP.**, -
 DBT.**,-
   DB29.**,  -
 ))-
 LOGINDDNAME(DASD)-
 OUTDDNAM(OUTDSK) -
 SPHERE-
 SELECTMULTI(ANY)  -
 CAT -
 DELETE
 /*

for some reason half of the Files (not necessarliy multivolume) were not
copied  the job ended with RC 0 it seems DFDSS didn't select them  ,
 from the literature:
"For VSAM data sets, the volume list is affected by the use of the
SPHERE keyword as follows:
v Specify SPHERE and you only need to list any part of the base
cluster in the volume list."

should I run this job again but without : 'SPHERE','SELECTMULTI' ?
is there somthing I forgetten ?

"

 but all the files in the DISK are named as I specify in the INCLUDE so i
don't see how this will solve it.

DB2 subsystems were done in time of the copy .

"Perhaps the same volumes were selected in the copy operation ? Are you
using
SMS how do the ACS routines look like"
I know I might miss somthing  - I forget to put the Volume in disable to
ensure this won't happen.
Thanks I believe this is the reason I'll try perform the copy again .

i review the SYSTEM commands but couldn't found one.

Hi,
One of my lpar is is suffering from
*IEA061E REPLACEMENT ASID SHORTAGE HAS BEEN DETECTED
I notices that the DB2 STC are ended with :
IEF352I ADDRESS SPACE UNAVAILABLE
I'm familiar with the option to start AS with REUSASID=YES but DB2 isn't
start with the 'start' command and i don't know how to implement this with
DB2 subsys and if it's possible.
is DB2 STCs always leave a AS unreausable ? or maybe there is somthing I can
do to avoid this.

the reason I asking it , is beacause i would like to avoid enlarge the
RSVNONR .

Re: *IEA061E REPLACEMENT ASID SHORTAGE HAS BEEN DETECTED

2011-03-21 Thread Matan Cohen
thanks Rob,
I familiar with stoping the RRS .
we have a weekly process which shutdown the DB2 subsystem for the DFDSS DASD
backup. there is no work done on the DB2 so it's not consider as a down time
for us.
beside this weekly backup we are also face (from time to time) reasons which
force us to start the DB2 .
there are more then 3 DB2 subsystem - and this the reason the ASVT are
running out.

kees -
I did enlarge the RSVNONR a little bit, I can perform an IPL on the backup
times - cause the Backup process is automatic and done after the working
Hours.
Joel - thanks for the tip be sure I'll check it out .

cleaning DASD

2011-03-29 Thread Matan Cohen
Hi,
We have an old machine we are getting rid off ( keeping it as a base system
for disaster).
this machine is sharing with our newer machine some DASD backup.
I'm trying to clean all the Dataset which is only cataloged in this machine
and not in the other Lpars in the new machine.
I was looking in the CBT tape for a rexx which will get me a report base on
a volume name it get of which dataset is cataloged on it. so i could later
on compare this different report to get a list of dataset only cataloged in
the old machine which i can get rid off . In the past I found  a CBT rexx
which clean uncatalog dataset but this won't help me cause I have two LPARS
involve.

the reason I'm not starting to write my own REXX is because I never worked
with V-toc so even directing me on the "right" way to do so will be helping.
I already thought on letting a REXX perform a LISTDSI on every dataset on
the disk base on IEHLIST LISTVTOC output. but will the LISTDSI will work on
VASM ?

any recommendations will be helpful.

so i added bufx with the $t defbuf.
the message disappeared but jobs and started task were stuck .
i started performing IPL with cancel all jobs/stc/db2, the i try one more
time to execute my STC for shutdown the computer and it actually worked.
so i finish ipl as always .

the best way to configure HIS 2006?

2010-03-03 Thread Matan Cohen
hi,
i'm in the middle of configuring an HIS server 2006 and there are several
question on my mind ( i lack of knowledge in communication).
the reason we configure an HIS its because we trying to perform a CICS print
to a TCP\IP printer by defining a terminal(printer).

-is there no way to perform a pure ip connectivity to my lpar? why i must
define XCA to vtam ?
-is there no way that HIS can connect to to my lpar and get a lu from my
defaults lu defining in tcpip.

I read this document but i wonder about how much it is accurate :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=86d6011a-3396-4c36-b4b1-af7f4d80a099

-is there any a similar document for configuring an HIS using DLC 802.2?
does it require an ENTERPRISE EXTENDER ?


when doing  'D NET,EE' i got this message . :
IST2045I ENTERPRISE EXTENDER XCA MAJOR NODE NOT ACTIVE -
i have already have 3 XCA major node what make an XCA major node to an
 ENTERPRISE EXTENDER XCA MAJOR?

so i started redefine the follow member,   accordingly to the document and
 member we used in the past for SNA server
:
i created the follow member in user.vtamlst with the following:


member XCAEE: i have already have an 3 XCA major node can  defining this can
cause a problem.

 i didn't do any act for this member from the fear it might cause some
problem because of my lack of knowledge and the fact it is a production?
if i will activate this members will i be able to connect to the lpar form

base on this IBM answer :
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21380385 , I perform the
following:
I tried to define a terminal(printer) in CICS and then using the TN3270
define an LU with LUMAP to my network printer IP.
 When sending a print to this terminal in the CICS. we got the following
messages in the CICS (although the LU was CONCT):
DFHZC2405 E TVABSAD3 PR01 CSNE Node FTCP0200 not activated. VTAM RETURN

and this message on SYSLOG:

It seems we must have the LU in activate mode,it means we must perform a
sort of connection to this LU before CICS can send any
print to it. so we decided on using HIS (it is already include in our
enterprise licence).

I did'nt completly understood you perhaps i wasn't clear , my question here
was : if i can using emulation to connect directly to tn3270,  why in the
HIS server i cant connect to the mainframe in port 23 and get a default LU.

Even if I will use 802.2 It means i need to define a working EE? as you

USS regular expression

2010-04-12 Thread Matan Cohen
Hi,
I'm trying to write a Shell script on OMVS which will return to me all the
FS (HFS) which are over 90% usage.
i'm having a problem with the grep command when I'm using a regular
expression:
the command has it is on AIX :
df -k | grep -e '9[0-9]%' -e 100%
on the omvs i change the 'df -k' to 'df -P'  .
the grep regular expression part I did using ' grep -E' no matter what
combinations of regular expression I did base on the regular expression
guide on z/OS V1R10.0 UNIX System Services Command
Reference<http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/bpxza590.pdf> It
refuse to work.

some of the combinations i tried:

df -P | egrep  '9'[:alnum:]'%'
df -P | egrep  9[:alnum:]%
df -P | egrep  9[1-9]%
df -P | egrep  9(1-9)%
: got (, expecting Newline
df -P | egrep '9[1-9]%'
df -P | egrep '9[0-9]%'
df -P | egrep '9[:digit:]%'
df -P | grep -E '9[:digit:]%'
df -P | grep -E  9[:digit:]%
df -P | grep -E  9/[[:digit:]]/%
df -P | grep -E  /[9[:digit:]%]/
df -P | grep -E  [9[:digit:]%]
df -P | grep -E 9[0-9]%
df -P | grep -e '9[0-9]%'
df -P | grep -e 9[0-9]%
df -P | grep -e *9[0-9]%*
df -P | grep -e .*9[0-9]%.*
df -P | grep -E .*9[0-9]%.*
df -P | grep -E .*[9$][0-9][%$].*
df -P | grep -E .*[9]$[0-9][%]$.*
df -P | grep -E .*[9]$[0-9]$[%]$.*
df -P | grep -E .*[9]$[[0-9]$][%]$.*
df -P | grep -E .*[9$][[0-9]$][%$].*
df -P | grep -E [.*[9$][[0-9]$][%$].*]
df -P | grep -E [.*[9]$[[0-9]$][%]$.*]
df -P | grep -E [.*9$[[0-9]$]%$.*]
df -P | grep -E [.*9$[0-9]$%$.*]
df -P | grep -E [.*9[0-9]%.*]
df -P | grep -E [.*9[:digit:]%.*]

when i tried :
df -P | grep 92%
it work fine.

any idea?

Re: USS regular expression

2010-04-12 Thread Matan Cohen
you are right i already start solving this problem from this direction .
I'm working with code page "037 united state" on the emulation.
On OMVS I cant see LC_ALL variable only LANG=C.
I tried change the LC_ALL to En_US or even En_US.IBM-1047 but it don't help.
changing the emulation code page to 1047 don't help either .
In both emulation code  page I can't even type the chars "[" "]" .
any idea about further steps?

USS - file can't be deleted.

2011-10-12 Thread Matan Cohen
HI,
we running z/os 1.10 and my /tmp filesystem is out of space.
i start deleting & empty some log files and the Filesystem is still 100% .
I notice I cant work with one of the log file : can't view , empty or delete
it , any attempt to do some of this actions just get stuck .
I took down the Websphere which write the log file and there isn't any
remains AS nor process of it. and still I can't perform any action on the
File and the filesystem is still full (when performing 'df -P /tmp' )
although the actully usage of the filesystem ( when performing 'du -ks *'
command ) is not close to be full .
any advice will be highly appreciate! .

thanks chris,but how does it linked to the problem I suffered from ?
I was forced to perform an IPL on the system for a quick solution and I
replaced the HFS dataset for /tmp .
I mount the old HFS in a diffrent and less important location, all of the
file i deleted and emptied seems to returned from the dead but the problem
seems to resolved as i now can delete the problomatic file .

Just came back from an holiday.
 As I wrote above the prblem was resolve after IPL and mounting A New HFS
for /tmp.
Mark - I can't unmount/remount my /tmp FS. CONFIGHFS I believe couldn't help
me as the /tmp HFS dataset had 123 Extents.
John - I mounted some of subdirectory to other HFS dataset and this should
prevent the /tmp to get full again.

Re: z/OS UNIX file can't be deleted. (Was confusing and confused)

Chris - I wasn't offended .
Me using the USS term for unix system service is because this is how I was
intruduce to the Z/os Unix when I first got into the Z/os ( it was OS\390
2.10 and not so long ago ) and it probably will stay always USS for me.

SNA configuration for Txseries <-> CICS communication.

2011-12-27 Thread Matan Cohen
Hi ,
Does somebody have some info regarding building a SNA network configuration
between Z/os to AIX , I now facing this issue  in order to configure a
communication for CICS <-> TXseries using a PPC gateway ( SL2 ).
My main question is :
Can I configure the SNA configuration so it will work over a TCP\IP ,
instead of building a pure SNA network ?

Now when a User trying to insert a action character on a JOB (on which he

his user or the job start with the GROUP or USERNAME .
is there anyway to permit a user to process all jobs when he is the owner?
or I must set SDSF with SAF?

DFSORT

2011-06-15 Thread Matan Cohen
Hi,
I need to convert this DFSORT function to an older version of DFSORT
(FINDREP is not supported) :
*//DFSSORTJ JOB (0096,E507),'DFDSSSA',NOTIFY=&SYSUID,CLASS=A,  *
*//  MSGCLASS=X,MSGLEVEL=(1,1) *
*//MATCH EXEC PGM=SORT *
*//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*  *
*//IN1 DD DSN=bla.bla.QDBTB2,DISP=SHR  *
*//SYSIN DD **
*
OPTION COPY
  *
* OUTREC FINDREP=(IN=(X'00',   *
* X'01',   *
* X'02',   *
* X'17',   *
* X'18',   *
* X'19',   *
* X'1A',   *
* X'1B',   *
* X'1C',   *
* X'1D',   *
* X'1E'*
* ),OUT=C' ')*
*
*
the problem is that i need to run it in flexible way so it will run the same
on different kind of datasets* (FB datasets) , so i tried this :*
*

*
 OPTION COPY
 ALTSEQ  CODE=(0040,0140)
 OUTREC FIELDS=(1,TRAN=ALTSEQ)

But I getting this :
*ICE000I 1 - CONTROL STATEMENTS FOR 5694-A01, Z/OS DFSORT V1R10 - 14:37 ON
WED *
*   OPTION COPY
   *
*   ALTSEQ  CODE=(0040,0140)

   *
*ICE201I F RECORD TYPE IS F - DATA STARTS IN POSITION 1
   *
*ICE126A 2 INCONSISTENT REFORMATTING FOR *OUTREC : REASON CODE 02, IFTHEN 0
   *
*        *
is there a way to run it without knowing the LRECL of the dataset?
Any help will be appreciate

Thanks you for this , I'll use it for the future.
In this time for a quick solution I used REXX for building the appropriate
steps accordingly to the datasets list.

JDBC type 2 with java6

2011-07-11 Thread Matan Cohen
Hi,
please excuse me for any lack of knowledge in this area,

I have a compenet running under USS which used the JDBC jars from DB2 8.10V
.
I needed to upgrade it to run under  J6.0

*/Z110/usr/lpp/java/J6.0/bin: >./java -version   *
*java version "1.6.0"
 *
*Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pmz3160-20071123_01)
*
*IBM J9 VM (build 2.4, J2RE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.4 z/OS s390-31
jvmmz3160-20071121_1501*
*5 (JIT enabled)
*
*J9VM - 20071121_015015_bHdSMr

*
*GC   - 20071031_AA)
*
*JCL  - 20071118_01  *

when starting the compenet with Java 6 i get this error :
com.ibm.db2.jcc.b.SqlException: ÝDB2/T2zOS¨ÝJDBC/SQLJ¨ Incompatable JVM. The
Dri
ver REQUIRES Java 2 support and is not compatible with the JVM:1.6.0


from DB2 literature :
*"**JDBC/SQLJ Driver for OS/390 and z/OS (deprecated)*
*

The JDBC/SQLJ Driver for OS/390® and z/OS is a type 2 driver that contains
most of the functions that are described in the JDBC 1.2 specification. This
driver also includes some of the functions that are described in the JDBC
2.0 specification.

The JDBC/SQLJ 2.0 Driver for OS/390 and z/OS supports these functions:

   - Global transactions that run under WebSphere Application Server Version
   4.0 and above
   - Implementation of Java user-defined functions and stored procedures
   - SQLJ statements that perform equivalent functions to all JDBC methods
   - Connection pooling

To use this driver, you need Java 2 Technology Edition, SDK 1.3 or later. To
implement Java stored procedures or user-defined functions, you need Java 2
Technology Edition, SDK 1.3.1, SDK 1.4.1 or later."
*
I wonder if this is one of the reason it is label as depracated ?

performance differences between java versions

2011-07-12 Thread Matan Cohen
Hi ,
I have Java 1.4 and Java 6.0 installed on my Z/os 1.10. I did a simple test
to check if there is performance differences between this version :

performing 'java -version' on J6 takes 7-8 seconds:

java version "1.6.0"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pmz3160sr8fp1ifix-20100924_01(SR8
FP1+IZ8
1201+IZ80998+IZ83034+IZ83273))

IBM J9 VM (build 2.4, JRE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.4 z/OS s390-31
jvmmz3160sr8ifx-20100923
_65174 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)

J9VM - 20100923_065174

JIT  - r9_20100401_15339ifx6

GC   - 20100308_AA)

JCL  - 20100728_01

performing 'java -version' on J1.4 takes 2-3 seconds:
java version "1.4.2"

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2)

Classic VM (build 1.4.2, J2RE 1.4.2 IBM z/OS Persistent Reusable VM build
cm142-
20080517 (SR11) (JIT enabled: jitc))


I know it not the best test but I do think it point on something , or am I
wrong?
I looked in tuning Tips document for Java6 and couldn't found something that
will affect this differences (most of the tuning to be done are in the
system level and not on the Java level)


Am i missing something?
I read in IBM site that the performances should be improve with any version
not decrease .

Get a user password from RACF.

2011-08-18 Thread Matan Cohen
Hi all ,

In my previous shop we add TSS instead of RACF . I remember we had a way  to
get a user password but I’m not really familiar what was the background
process.

Is somebody familiar with a method to get a user password when using RACF ?

I assume RACF DB is holding the DB in hash base on a one way function , but
I'll also expect that TSS will do the same .

if it truly so , I’ll be interesting on HOW could my previous shop bypass
the basic security (maybe using Exit to insert the password to protected
dataset before the HASH) I’ll expect from a security product to allow only
reset of the password and not reviewing of the user password .

that in my previously shop this was a something I was doing regularly .  So
 I just started interesting in how this was available to me in the past and
if it still available to me in RACF .
Security is always interesting for me.

Re: Get a user password from RACF.

2011-08-21 Thread Matan Cohen
this was clear form me , I misused the word hash .
basically in the open-system when encrypting a password , the literature
describe the encryption method use , and you can also found the mathematical
function used in the encryption .


regarding comments like :
"Would you mind telling us which bank you are trying to hack?

Jantje."
curiosity only !
I have learned in the past the encryption history and common used method and
still have alot of interest in this subject .
Beside it I never really started checked how this issue implemented on z/OS
.

DFDSS - restoring VSAM from a PHYSICAL DUMP

2011-09-01 Thread Matan Cohen
Hi,
I got a DB2 VSAM on a physical DFDSS DUMP which I need to restore  . I know
I should have take a logical dump (stupid me!) .
I'm trying to restore the VSAM from this DUMP , but as I know already I'm
having difficulties to complete this .
If I'll liked to restore it to the Same Data set probably it was working
fine (in case dataset is exist ) .
now when using this DFDSS statement I also tried with other statement
(CATALOG)  :
 RESTORE DATASET(INCLUDE( -
 DBO.DSNDB*.BLABLA.IXSDBTBL.**   -
 ))   -
 RENAMEU(DBO.DSNDBD.BLABLA.**, -
   DBO.DSNDBD.BLARES.**)  -
  INDD(INDD)   -
  OUTDD(OUTDD)
I'm getting this message :
ADR412E - DATA SET failed serialization



is there other way to restore this Data Set with rename ?  (at least the
Data part?) without restoring all the DASD?

recommended way to send large files from Z/os to WIN and backward

2010-05-02 Thread Matan Cohen
Hi,
I'm searching for a way to send a large data sets (over 4 GB ) to Windows ,
the main purpose is to avoid using XMIT on the Data Sets so i prefer not
using FTP.
The Datasets are DFDSS dumps and I need to ensure I can returned them into
the Z/OS in case they are needed.
Is it possibale not using XMIT while transfering Data sets?
is there a way to able the Z/os FTP to get data sets larger then 4 GB?

we don't use any automation tool like Control-M and such
The only schedule jobs are SYSTEM jobs and this made by an automation

Re: recommended way to send large files from Z/os to WIN and backward

2010-05-03 Thread Matan Cohen
forget about the xmit problem.
we are trying to use an ftp client on z/os
using a job to get datasets larger than 4 GB from a windows server after we
succesfully send the Datasets to the windows FTP server .
when trying to get the Datasets back to the Mainframe we get the follow
message :
553 Cannot send file larger than 4 gigabytes.
we are trying to understand if the problem is cause from the windows side.
we do use an SMS Data class so the Datasets will be a multivolume.

assuming this will work we will want to send on a weekly base an estimate of
700GB in Datasets between 2-27GB from the z/os to an windows server .
the data sets which was send should be ready to send  back in case of a
disaster.

MFnetdisk was consider as an substitute options.
The desire state is to get the Datasets when initiate the connection using
FTP batch from the MF. when connecting to the Mainframe FTP from my station
I was able to send the Dataset.
we design a backup proccess to get rid from our 3590 tape library and move
our MF backp to one of our Windows server .
the datasets will move then by the Windows Backup to tapes .
We are now trying to avoid any dependency to a product in this process (such
like MFnetdisk). we are also limit on purchesing any product.
*DON- * as you said i also assume the windows server see the target (MF
side) as FAT32 , but I don't familiar with a way to control this and force
the FTP server (windows) to send the file.
Lizette Koehler - BLKSIZE=32760 don't solve the problem.
we use IE8.
there is'nt additional message in syslog.

Re: Time Parameter

2010-05-17 Thread Matan Cohen
i think the best way to accomplish that is to perfom the check of 30 minute
in the rexx  (in case you don't want it to go to sleep)
if your rexx performing somthing in this 30 minutes you should add a check
in it of the time like this:

 RC = TIME(R)
 SECS = 1800   /* 1800 second you want them to pass */
 DO FOREVER
   N = TIME(E)/*get the time in second which was pass */
   IF N >= SECS THEN LEAVE
 END

Re: Time Parameter

2010-05-18 Thread Matan Cohen
Hi,
I choose this "sleep" option cause I though that Ravi wasn't looking for a
way to make it rexx to go to sleep in this case SYSCALL is always a better
way in saving CPU .
what i undestood from Ravi question ( maybe I was worng ) is that the rexx
is still preforming actions and he is want it to end when
the the time is over.
i post only an example of how Ravi can check the time which was pass and
exit when this time is over .

Re: recommended way to send large files from Z/os to WIN and backward

2010-05-24 Thread Matan Cohen
After considering the issue again I decided to XMIT the dump datasets .
so now i xmit the large dump and then send them to a windows FTP server .
When trying to get them back .
A receive on those file is finished but not successful. the Receive command
allocate the Dump datasets but stop restoring after 1% usage of the dataset
although it return a successful completion.

when entering this subject after succeeding to send a 2GB xmit datasets and
getting them back successfully .
I didn't imagine  to myself it will not work with larger datasets.

Any suggestion on How to over come this problem will be appreciate

I was able to solve this problem.
Before sending the Xmit datasets to the windows I preform on the Datasets  a
ADRDSSU  RELEASE command.
After performing  the release command on the datasets I was able to return
them to my z/os and then perform a succesfull receive .

Re: ICKDSF INIT UNDO

will you discribe the situation you want this tool will handle with.
i heard of tool  which help you undo the init action by backing up the Vtoc
& VVDS for any init action using ickdsf (a little serch in google i believe
will help you get the name of this product).
i found the easiest way to handle errors with init comand is always copy the
DISK using ICKDSF (it is FAST and most reliable ).

Re: TN3270 printing - scalable?

2010-06-02 Thread Matan Cohen
we use IBM PCCOM for CICS print .
why do you need to use a PDT? or think you should? IBM pccom is support PDT.
you can define in your VTAM several IP LU . and open several pcom on a
station where the printer is defined.

after trying to get the same result with HIS & EE i found this is the most
esieast way to deploy an IP print.

Re: Disk replacing Tape?

2010-06-20 Thread Matan Cohen
As a small develop company which don't use the tape to archive only for
backups.
We are in the processing of get rid of our 3590 (actually the tape driver
 stop working yesterday).
we found that it will be the best solution for us is to backup our DATA to
disk and then send it to other more cheaper platform (windows) which will
manage the writing to tapes.
so all of this step is more for getting rid of the 3590 not Tapes from the
cost aspect .

Re: Disk replacing Tape?

2010-06-21 Thread Matan Cohen
AMATERSE takes to much time for us ... so we use XMIT .
the secret is to perform DFDSS relese to the DFDSS dump datasets before
running XMIT on them , this ensure the successful return of the datasets to
MAINFRAME .
the data isn't legible for Windown although there is some XMIT manager for
window but it won't help you to much cause it's DFDSS DUMP those XMIT
datasets contain. so they must be restored to the mainframe .
one idea we consider is to use Shai Hess product MFnetDisk (it is now free)
 to make a WINDOWS disk to be shown to the mainframe then to backup those
disk . MFnetdisk can also emulate tapes.
we didn't use shai hess product cause we want to save the backup proccess
"simple" and not involve any other product then those usually supported by
the z/OS .

Z9 machine crash

2010-07-06 Thread Matan Cohen
Hi,

Today we faced a sort of crash in our Z9 machine. The problem started at
9:30 AM.

 The state of our machine was as follow  :

-In our PCHID boxes there were no lights on  , but above it on our AD/CD
convertor the lights were on.

-The LPARS were down. Checking the status of the CPC showed ‘NO POWER’ .

-In the ‘Hardware Messages’ we found a  new message from 9:41 AM the message
indicate on a ‘POWER PROBLEM – problem # 81’ .



While trying to get the LPARs up again as soon as possible we preformed an
‘ACTIVATE’ action for the CPC , the action conducted with no problem and
able us to perform a ‘LOAD’ action for the LPARs.



Our PC connected to the HMC stayed the same ( no communication problem
messages or anything to help understanding more about what happened – beside
the message above which poped after 10 minutes.)

Is there a book for viewing the detailed on this message?
is there more logs in which I can look for further info?

any advise ?

thanks you all for the enrichment of knowledge .
Brian - i already did that but i couldn't find more info
I probably must call IBM on this issue , our contract with them is out of
date so i tried to avoid doing that.
more opinions and advise will be welcome.
thanks again.

1.We perform an  'ACTIVATE'  on the CPC after 20 minutes after the crash
took place and the perform a 'LOAD' to all the LPARs.

2.the HMC is only for this CPC and beside the message in the 'HARDWARE
MESSAGES' it work just the same.

3.there were people cleaning the air conditioner but the deny the touched
anything beside it. we may need Forensic to check this :) just kidding
although it is not such a bad idea.

Re: Update an Offline RACF Database

2010-07-25 Thread Matan Cohen
*Tivoli zSecure Admin RACF-Offline Description*
The IBM Tivoli zSecure Admin RACF-Offline component of Tivoli zSecure Admin
provides the possibility
to issue most RACF commands against an inactive RACF database. The use of an
Offline RACF
database allows testing commands before actually implementing them on an
Active system. Thus there is
no impact of the tests on any other production application, and also no need
for a dedicated LPAR just for
this type of tests. Sample applications include merging RACF databases from
multiple systems, and large
reorganization or cleanup of profiles.

I'm sorry but i wasn't clear enough , in this sentence you quote me I refer
to a LOAD of Z/os without  using of  an already running OS .
I was refer to "getting" a z/OS from blank (DASD empty) and without TAPEs
this leave us the option to LOAD a SA software from the DVD (or even USB - I
don't beleive this option can be done ) and then perform a copy of images
from the DVD to our DASD .
I was thought  even on the option of copying a image directly to the

ways of limt the idle time for a tso user.

2010-08-05 Thread Matan Cohen
Hi,
I have a user which is used by many people on my z/os - we are yet to
install the ikjefln2 exit which allow reconnect - the original exit have
priviliges problem and we are still examing how we can overcome this problem
 .
so the situation is that the user can be connected beacuse someone forgot to
disconnect.
i
i familiar with the way of limit AS idle time by SMFPRM but I don't want to
force a diffrent policy on the rest of the user\AS.
is there a way to limit the idle time specific for this user ( we are on
z/1.10 with RACF)?

thanks.

this user was created for the purpose to be a public user .
I'm not concerned for open datasets cause this user don't open any
datasets.
I want to avoid using REXX. & etc I'm looking for a definition if one exist
( in TSO \ RACF )  which can able me to to do so.

Re: ways of limt the idle time for a tso user.

2010-08-05 Thread Matan Cohen
Elardus - thanks I now noticed what you wrote about the exit.
because of my lack of knowledge in assembly  & the priority of the
different activities I got - edit an exit is a very slow process . a good
example of this is that I'm not yet finish to edit ikjefln2 although i know
what should be done  .

Chris - you are right , only six months ago I finish my first OS upgrade
from z1.6 to z1.10 so i don't believe  i will upgrade to z.1.11 any time
soon ( due to other activities as i mention ) but still i was aware of this
option since you introduce it to me.

you should add :

Re: How to disable a product?

2010-09-14 Thread Matan Cohen
I think what R.S ment is to delete the diffrent products which aren't in use
not disable them.
we use Server pac and when upgrading OS we need to go over the diffrent
product an dispose those which are'nt in use .

Hi,
I have one member to of a PDS which I want to copy to multipule libraries .
all of my libraries are named  goog..skeleton
is there a way to perform this such copy without REXX in a way which I'll
provide only this PDSs SYNTAX : GOOG.*.SKELETON and the copy will take place
to all the libraries?

Re: copy a member to PDS libraries

2010-10-03 Thread Matan Cohen
Because this action is only need to perform this time I wanted a simple JCL
and avoid writing a "spacial " REXX for it.
But thanks to you all , next time I'll perform it using REXX thanks.
