Re: Removing entries of non-existing data sets from SMS volumes
What I mean that the data sets are not in catalog, but they are in VTOC of the volume.

Do you mean a catalog entry for which there is no corresponding dataset on the indicated volume? If that is the case, then there is no need to remove it from the volume (since it is not there anyway). But you do want to remove it from the catalog. The DELETE NOSCRATCH command as described in the Access Method Services is the usual tool of choice. For datasets erroneously catalogued on SMS volumes, the LISTCAT ALL command will generate errors when it cannot extract information from the VVDS. You can list an entire catalog, hold the output, and use SDSF to search for the errors. If you know the volumes in question, the DCOLLECT, DIAGNOSE CATALOG, and DIAGNOSE VVDS commands ((all from Access Method Services) may provide useful information. If you don't know the volumes, the DSMON program from the RACF Auditor's Guide may provide useful information. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Mohamed Juma Sent: Saturday, May 07, 2011 10:44 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Removing entries of non-existing data sets from SMS volumes We are facing a problem to remove entries of non-existing data sets from SMS volume, first how to check all volumes in that SMS group for the data sets which not existing, second how to delete their entries. -- 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 -- 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

Extract SMPE FMIDs
HI, We installed Z/OS 1.7 recently, we have some old IBM products in our existing Z/OS 1.4 system (such as Netview Access) which use the same Z/OS SMPE Zones (it came before in the same serverpac of Z/OS 1.4). I want to use this products with my new Z/OS 1.7, my problem how can I extract the SMPE for these products to a new SMPE to be used with Z/OS 1.7. Is there any way to do that, and is it save and recommended? and how? Thanks eveyone, Mohamed Juma Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!

Using indirect volume serial support
Hi, I am going to migrate from Z/OS V1.4 to V1.7, we have two independent systems TEST and PROD, each system has its own datasets and volumes, but we keep the same VOLSER names for both right now as example we use for CAT volume two different VOLSER using the same nane ZOSCAT. I am thinking to have for both systems two different VOLSER names such as ZOSPCA for PROD and ZOSTCA for TEST and etc for all the Z/OS volumes. Normally we install our staff and IPL the new system and use it for TEST, and take a copy to use for PROD with the same VOLSER names. But to implement the two systems with two different VOLSER names, I am thinking to use the indirect volume serial support, but I do not know if it is the rigt view or not, as how I can do it. If any one had this experience before, I want to share this experience, and to guide me to any reference which can help. Thanks,,.

Unix Root grouth
Hi, I faced strange OMVS issue, our HFS root was about 3300 cyls, We faced shortage problem, so I defined it as multivolume HFS. Few months later I found it about 14 thousands Cyls which is almost five time than before. I do not know why it came so big like this, I checked the content of the root,I could not find any reason. I cleared some log staff. it can down little. Did any one such situation before?, any help appreciated. Thanks, Mohamed Juma __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Policy for CPU and OS upgrade
Good day every one, I want to get the experience of other in two issues: 1. How you put your policy to upgrade the CPU or to go to new bigger processor, is it just when you suffer from 100% CPU usage or what are the criteria used for that? 2. Regarding the operating system: when you decide to go to higher version? and what is your maintenance policy?, are you puting maintenance every 6 months as example or you do maintenance only if you are forced because of a problem you faced?

Sysplex and CPU Questions
In Sysplex Environment: 1. Is it required or recommended in Sysplex system with DB2 data sharing to have more than one CP in the CPC. 2. Which is better to have CPC with one CP as example 200 Mips, or CPC with two CPs each 100 Mips.
