Re: DSN wirh LRECL > 32760 on Z/OS
Hi We received a request from the developers to create a dataset with LRECL > 32727. They will be receiving data from the open systems environment that will be + 52000 bytes long and need to process that data. I found the following in the archives but have no idea how to do it. >Actually, your suggestions 3-4 are the same. LRECL cannot exceed 32760 unless RECFM=VBS (variable spanned). You can't allocate a dataset with a LRECL over 32760, but you can code it in a DCB. To use QSAM with a LRECL over 32760, you must use LRECL=X and special QSAM coding. So, it would have to be specially written assembler program.

When you buy a new system to run IBM i OS, you are now increasingly buying System p branded servers. IBM is phasing out separate branded hardware as the models get updated. (For some years now the underlying hardware has been virtually identical anyway -- the POWER microprocessors definitely -- but now it's official.)

Re: SAS ITRM vs MXG
NB: This email and its contents are subject to our email legal notice which can be viewed at http://www.sars.gov.za/Email_Disclaimer.pdf Hi We have been using SAS/ITRM for many years on the mainframe and other platforms (porting the non-mainframe data to OMVS) with great success. A couple of years ago we also negotiated a sub-capacity based license with SAS which was very reasonable. Management has however decided to save more costs and we are in the process of migrating ITRM to the Intel platform, halving our costs. SAS/ITRM is a bundled product which is made up of several SAS modules such as SAS/GRAPH, SAS/BASE, SAS/STAT, SAS/ETS, etc. It uses MXG to read the raw SMF/RMF data after which the data is collected, summarized and stored in PDB's. This process is fully automated. The cost vs functionality is extremely low as ITRM can basically read any type of performance data from any source i.e ZOS, OpenVMS, SQL, etc. SAS/ITRM comes with a set of pre-written reports but one can easily customize your own reports.

I have a contact in IBM SMS development. I will see if they have any suggestions. In the mean time you might try the IBM-MAIN list again. Someone there might have a suggestion. address Specifies the track number of the first track to be allocated. Count the first track of the first cylinder on the volume as 0.

FW: ADABAS and HDS TrueCopy
NB: This email and its contents are subject to our email legal notice which can be viewed at http://www.sars.gov.za/Email_Disclaimer.pdf Hi All Using SRDF and ADABAS to a remote site, our tests on ADABAS were successful (verified by our DBA's). I did however queried SAG in South Africa and they came up with the following: "When you run with Suspend and Resume, the physical database is in a stable state. What is in memory is not relevant because all users will be at ET state. So, there should be no pending transactional units of work. Suspend and Resume are available with V742 and above. The issue with SRDF is that it is in the hands of the users. Depending on the save options used and, more specifically, what is actually done during any restore, we cannot accept SRDF as being an integrated backup/restore mechanism for an active Adabas database. Issues have been encountered in the past where DASD was switched off before a buffer flush was completed. In this case a restore was needed because we could see the start of the buffer flush and not the end; thus, we could not guarantee that Data Storage and Asso are still in sync because of the way in which we write the blocks to the VTOCS. This is an extraction of a PPRC disaster scenario. ADA - PPRC disaster scenario question Symptom: We are going to use PPRC (Peer to Peer Remote Copy) technology in order to continue with our production work in the event of a disk crash. If a crash happens, is there anything we need to do to make sure our mirrored Adabas database is consistent? Resolution: As long as the mirrored data is a consistent real time shadow of primary data there is no problem to: 1) Start an Adabas nucleus using mirrored ASSO, DATA, and WORK after a disk crash on primary - Adabas will perform the autorestart. 2) Repair primary data after the hardware is fixed by copying the mirrored data (completely: ASSO, DATA and WORK). It is most important for the DBA to understand that--ASSO, DATA, and WORK--together make a consistent database. We have seen inconsistencies after sites have used SNAPSHOTS of databases to restore DATA to a status snapped half an hour ago, but leaving ASSO in its present state. Or there was one case where ASSO and DATA were snapped after an abend in Adabas (with pending autorestart on WORK) and were restored leaving the database inconsistent. The DBA needs to make sure the database is completely mirrored (all volumes of ASSO, DATA, and WORK) and that these mirrored datasets are used completely if required. Symptom: Does Adabas support IBM's Peer to Peer Remote Copy (PPRC) technology? Resolution: PPRC - Peer to Peer Remote Copy - is a feature of the control unit (3990-6) which should be transparent to all applications. PPRC is supported with Adabas, and is transparent to Adabas. On the other hand, Adabas does not exploit that feature in any way".

Old Mainframe Classes
NB: This email and its contents are subject to our email legal notice which can be viewed at http://www.sars.gov.za/Email_Disclaimer.pdf Hi A vendor (SAS Institute) wants to know what class our mainframe (Z900-2C5) falls in. We measure in MSU's. I know that this classification is not in use anymore but they want to classify the above as a class M mainframe. Any help or comments will be appreciated.
