Re: TDMF Questions
Limit the number of concurrent volumes you move with TDMF (probably 5 volumes). It is a parameter in TDMF. This is very important for I/O intensive volumes For JES2 checkpoint, you need to be careful. Read the book or work with z/OS support group on this. If you move one volume/one checkpoint at a time, you should be ok It is a pretty good product. One more thing to remember, if you have replication going on, please be considerate, move few at a time, otherwise, you might overwhelm the replication cycle or miss your RPO Regards, Sridher -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

This will return to your program the Configuration Data Record (CDR). It will be 256 bytes long. The box serial # is in the CDR data. The format of the 256 bytes returned is described in the control unit reference manual (2105, 3990, etc.). You have to make sure you are looking at the correct 32-byte Node Element Descriptor (NED) within those 256 bytes. There are possibly eight different NEDs in the 256 bytes, and more than one has a serial number in it. It depends on exactly what you mean by "box". Study the control unit book's description.

IEFSD094 & IASXWR00
IASXWR00 writes SYSOUTs without separators. I'm trying to rewrite IEFSD094 to print separators with jobname, job#, time, date, etc. . It should be in simple text form, not block. Do you have any sample IEFSD094 code or how do I extract jobname, job#, date, time info? I checked JES2 initialization & tuning guide. It has limited information, no idea where to get job#, date, time, etc. Any additional information will be appreciated, thanks.

Re: VTS PtP Peer to Peer
You can put your remote VTS in read-only mode, I believe. You need to break the peers until the DR exercise is over. You need to redirect output tapes to a different library/VTS. Turning 'off' HSM reclamation is a good idea. Regards, Sridher Nelliyappan Manivel, Technical Services, Lowe's Companies, Inc.

When it comes time to perform a DR test we have thought of some issues that we would like to hear how other companies react to them. 1. Files using Disp=Mod or Disp=Old and modding on to a vts file. If we allow this to happen the data goes back to the Production Local VTS. 2. We have a lot of non gdg files that are deleted and re-allocated. At time of DR test the catalog info is split, but PtP continues. We may not test Apps for a few hours and by that time we may have different versions of those files. 3. We are going to put HSM into the VTS and when tapes are re-cycled on the local end, the HSM CDS files on the DR side will not be in synch with the VTS. My thought is just turning off re-cycle on Local side while test is occuring would resolve this.

Re: Userids & DYNALLOC
I'm struggling with a mysterious return & reason code when DYNALLOC is called from a 8 character userid (I showed the error message to our ACF2 guru here & got all authorization). The same program works good when the job is submitted from 7 character userid. DYNALLOC fails with rc=4, and reason code 0218 (from 8 character userid). Please let me know if you know of any insight into this problem. (DYNALLOC program is subtasked from a main program, I don't know if that matters or not) Here are the explanation from the book for RC=4 Meaning: An error resulted from: v the current environment, the unavailability of a system resource (the system will also return a class 2 error reason code in S99ERROR), or a system routine failure. v the current environment (the system will also return a class 4 error reason code in S99ERROR), or v a system routine failure (the system will also return a class 7 error reason code in S99ERROR).Application Programmer Action: See the error reason code description and appropriate action in Table 26-6 on page 26-52, Table 26-8 on page 26-64, or Table 26-9 on page 26-72See also the associated message for the appropriate action. For reason = 0218 Meaning: Specified volume or an acceptable volume is not mounted, and user does not have volume mounting authorization through the DYNALLOC request. (dsname allocation)1 Application Programmer Action: Change volume specification, or have the required volume mounted, or change the allocation request to allow volume mounting. Resubmit the request.

Re: Userids & DYNALLOC
(I don't see this post from list, hence, I'm resending this post). Thanks for your responses. Here is the information you requested. Datasetname, volser & DD get replaced by parameters. Basically to call svc 99 with different text1dsn, text1vsr & text1dd each time. I don't see anything in the syslog, joblog (no information to paste here). I got return code and reason codes by displaying registers (R15 and S99RSC) Authorization has been given to owner of the job (ownerid of the job). DYNALLOC call in the program doesn't use this 8 characterid. Production jobs should start using this program. Production jobs use/inherit 8 character userid as their owner (when they get submitted by job scheduler). I can't ask the entire installation to start using 7 character userid as their owner to use this program. Here are two important things that you need to understand. 1. The same 8 character userid can read the tape through normal allocation process (without DYNALLOC). 2. The same program works (DYNPGM) without any problem if it submitted from a 7 character userid (owner has 7 character userid) text parameter list TEXTLST1 DC A(TEXT1U1)TEXT POINTER LIST DC A(TEXT1U2) DC A(TEXT1U3) DC A(TEXT1U4) DC A(TEXT1U5) DC X'80' DC AL3(TEXT1U6) TEXT1U1 DC AL2(DALDDNAM),X'0001',X'0008' TEXT1DD DC CL8'ZYXCBA1' TEXT1U2 DC AL2(DALDSNAM),X'0001',X'002C' TEXT1DSN DC CL44'' TEXT1U3 DC AL2(DALVLSER),X'0001',X'0006' TEXT1VSR DC CL6'524683' TEXT1U4 DC AL2(DALUNIT),X'0001',X'0005' TEXT1UNT DC CL5'TAPEV' TEXT1U5 DC AL2(DALSTATS),X'0001',X'0001',X'08' SHR IS 08 TEXT1U6 DC AL2(DALDEFER),X'' Regards, Sridher Nelliyappan Manivel, Technical Services, Lowe's Companies, Inc.

Re: VTS 3494 - empty backstore volumes?
You need to be careful & do this one at a time; because it copies data to cache and then to stacked volume. Your cache residency time will go down.

IGD330I
Following message appears whenever a multi-volume tape dataset is read. We know why it is happening, because when one volume is in vault and the other one is in the library. (it doesn't happen all the time, but only when one of the tape is out of the library). Usually, we fix this by mounting all the tapes in the library and restarting the job. Is there any better way to avoid this? (keeping all the volumes related a dataset in library is one solution, but how do we achieve this?)
