Re: VTAMLST - Who needs to read it

2012-03-09 Thread retired-mainfra...@q.com
If you have a sandbox LPAR, change it to UACC(NONE) and WARNING and then IPL 
and logon.  The ICH408 messages in the log should tell you who needs various 
accesses that are not already provided.  (They will also show which tasks have 
no user assigned which is something else you would want to correct.)  Add those 
and repeat until there are no ICH408 messages.  Then revert to NOWARN and test 
again.

Alternatley, clean out the SMF datasets, IPL and logon and then use MXG or one 
of the CBT SMF analysis tools to find out which jobs and tasks opened the 
dataset.  You may have to determine which users correspond to which tasks 
separately.

Subject: VTAMLST - Who needs to read it

Hi:

We currently have our VTAMLST libraries protected with UACC(READ). IBM suggests 
UACC(NONE) for them (RACF Security Administrator Guide, apendix D- Security for 
system datasets) . I want to make the change, but of course i know i must be 
extremely carefull with this change. I need to detect all users needing read 
access to VTAMLST. Human users are not my problem, my worry is about non-human 
ones (users of system tasks, started tasks, etc.).

What users need read access of VTAMLST?
Does any userid associated with a VTAM application need to read VTAMLST?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Juan Mautalen

Re: IKT100I USERID CANCELED immediately after TN3270 connection fail

2012-03-05 Thread retired-mainfra...@q.com
Networks have failures.  On some networks they occur more frequently than 
others.  It's just a fact of life.  Some network support organizations are more 
helpful than others in resolving the cause of these failures.  That too is a 
fact of life.

You were the one who mentioned that a major impact of these failures was the 
data lost by users.  We can't solve the failure problem for you but many have 
suggested ways to minimize the impact the failures have.  You are free to 
follow any of the suggestions you choose but you seem to be expecting somethng 
else from this group.

By the way, none of the five items you mention below seem to my untrained eye 
to be related to connection failures.

This thread has nothing to do with ISPF. I just want to know why my TSU
address space was canceled duo to connection failure.

But thank you all the same. I had checked following point that may be
related to this problem.
1, JWT in SMFPRMxx
2, RECONLIM in TSOKEYxx
3, INACTIVE, KEEPINACTIVE and DISCONNECTABLE in TN3270 profile
4, LU definition of TSO USERS
5, MODETAB  and DLOGMOD

About this subject, look forward that I can get more help and can get it
over at end.

Hi List,

Thanks for your help.

Recently I encounter a problem that IKT100I USERID CANCELED immediately
after TN3270 connection fail, and It is unacceptable in our shop, because
users will lose their work that do not save in time.

Re: HSM recover backup from an missing tape

2012-03-01 Thread retired-mainfra...@q.com
You can check the catalog status of an individual dataset with the IDCAMS 
LISTCAT command or ISPF 3.4 (which will also let you check a group with similar 
DSNs).  However, the easiest way to check all the datasets from the ML2 tape 
probably is to use the HSM AUDIT command which can report any MCDS entries not 
found in the catalog.

You can check the backup status of a dataset using the HSM LIST command with 
the DSN and BCDS operands.  If the datasets have a common HLQ, you can use the 
LEVEL operand instead of DSN.  In any case, you can use the TTOC listing to 
build a REXX or CLIST that would issue the appropriate HLIST commands.

And when you have recovered as much as you can, it might be good idea to sit 
down and rethink your decision regarding dulexing ML2 volumes.

Re: User datasets wrongly catalogued under Master Catalogue

On z/OS 1.11 and probably as far back as OS/390 2.10, I have had no problem 
using the MERGECAT operand specifying the active master catalog in either

Somewhere stuck in the back of mymemory is a restriction that the source 
catalog for a REPRO MERGECAT cannot be the active master catalog. However, I am 
not able to find something in the documentation to back up this memory.

Maybe this is an old restriction that has since been removed; maybe I cannot 
find the doc to prove this; maybe I am just getting old.

If this is a restriction, you can always bring up the system with another 
master catalog and connect this master catalog to it and treat it as a user 
catalog.

Responses to a question with different opinions about the best way to solve a 
problem are nothing new to this list.  But the amount of misinformation you 
received for a relatively simple question probably sets a high water mark I 
hope we don't challenge ever again.

Fortunately you did recieve some workable solutions.  The REPRO MERGECAT 
command reference is in the Access Methods Services manual.  If you need 
further explanatory material, see the Managing Catalogs manual.  The DSS 
commands are described in the DFSMSdss Storage Administration manual.
