Philip,

The most efficient (and safest) way is to interface to the IEEVARYD
service.

I have a sample program called "VARYDASD" that uses IEEVARYD that you
can download from : 

http://www.mximvs.com/utility-programs.shtml

Source code is included.

Re: Commands in Batch

[Hal Merritt]

Also might also be aware that the commands are executed immediately upon
submission on that LPAR. There is no delay or routing. There is no
relevance where the commands appear; they can appear anywhere in the
job. 

I think I read in some IBM doc that the //  COMMAND ' ' was the
'preferred' method. 

I am not familiar with the /*$VS,' ' syntax.

Re: Commands in Batch

[Chris Mason]

Hal,

Here's what you can find in z/OS V1R7.0 JES2 Commands, SA22-7526-05:



5.243 $VS - Enter MVS system commands through JES2

Function

To enter an MVS system command in a job stream, through an automatic JES2
command, or within the JES2 initialization data set.

Syntax


>>__$VS__,'command('command')...><

Parameters

'command'

The MVS system command(s) that are submitted through JES2. You must use
double quotes in any MVS command that uses single quotes. For example, to
issue an MVS SEND command, you would enter:

$VS,'SEND "message text",USER=(userid)'.

Authority Required

This command requires system authority. The description of the $T RDRnn
command explains how to ensure the proper MVS system command group authority
is assigned.

This command requires control security access authority. For a description
of assigning command input authority, see z/OS JES2 Initialization and
Tuning Guide.

Processing Considerations

The $VS command is valid only as an automatic command or in a job stream. If
you wish to issue an MVS command from the console for immediate execution,
enter the MVS command directly; $VS will not be accepted for this purpose.

The $VS command is normally entered from a local JES2 card reader that has
system authority. The responses to the MVS command(s) entered with the $VS
command appear at the console with master level authority on the issuing
system.

Scope

Single member. This command will be in effect for this member only. There is
no need to have this command issued to all members of the MAS.

Messages

Entering an MVS command using $VS does not generate any JES2 messages. For
information about any MVS messages, see z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 1
(ABA-AOM), SA22-7631

Example

  1   $vs, 'v (234,235,236),offline','d a'

JES2 submits the MVS VARY and DISPLAY commands to the MVS system for
processing if the commands were issued in a job stream or as automatic
commands.



Incidentally, it's quite a while since I saw a "card reader".

Re: Commands in Batch

[Eric Bielefeld]

There is a command on the CBT site called COMMAND.  It works very well 
for issuing commands from a jobstream.  You can issue any command as a 
parm.  The commands can also be in a PDS member.  I use the program 
COMMAND to shut our system down.

Philip,

I hope you have these protected or just anyone can use it to do just  
about anything you want, including canceling production jobs and

You can use the CommandZ program on my file on the CBT tape
(www.cbttape.org), it's file088.

CommandZ will not only allow you to issue the command, but will allow you to
test if it worked or not, or if you even really need to issue the command in
the first place, you can also have the script wait until the device is
actually in the state you wanted:  IFONLINE/IFOFFLINE and ONLINE/OFFLINE.
You can ask it to work by either VOLSER or Unit Address

For instance:

IFONLINE V=MVSRS2  < check if MVSRS2 online now
  V 0123,offline   < if so, vary it offline
ENDIF   < end of our IF group
OFFLINE V=MVSRS2   < This will pause until the volume is offline
S INITDSK,V=0123   < do whatever you wanted the disk offline for

You could also go by Unit address

IFONLINE A=0123
  V 0123,OFFLINE
ENDIF
OFFLINE A=0123
S INITDSK,V=0123


This version of the program is available at no cost (free:).

TSO XMIT and RECEIVE commands in batch

[Ale Eba]

I want to copy datasets from one z/OS image to another. There is no shared 
DASD. To use a tape is not easy because of management problems. I tried to XMIT 
using a batch job. When I ran the batch receive job, the datasets were not 
received in correct DD names . Is there a way to get around this problem ?

Running REXX under TSO, you can queue up the target dataset name for the
RECEIVE command.  I've done such things in batch before.

/* rexx */

x = prompt('ON')

address "TSO"

queue "da('target.dataset.name')"
"receive indsn('input.xmit.dataset.name')"


The results of the RECEIVE command will be placed in 'target.dataset.name'.

Re: TSO XMIT and RECEIVE commands in batch

[Kurt Gramling]

Ale,
  We use a process that we can compress many datasets using ADRDSSU
DUMP (DFDSS Utility) into a single dataset, XMIT this dataset into a
secondary dataset which can then be FTP'd to the final destination.  This
allows us to do many different kinds of datasets within a single transfer.
On the other side, we do a RECEIVE and then a ADRDSSU RESTORE.

Hope this helps.

Take a look at a tool I wrote called FTPBatch on my website

appropriate commands for foreground execution or jcl for batch execution.

How do I issue Vary SMS commands in batch

[גדי בן אבי]

Hi,

I would like to issue the ‘V SMS,VOL(xxx),Disable,new’ command, or an 
equivalent, in batch.

The job would issue the command, then run a defrag step, and then issue another 
command to enable the volume.

Is this possible?

Using the COMMAND JCL statement won’t work, because the command would be issued 
at submit time instead of run time.

TIA

Re: How do I issue Vary SMS commands in batch

[Lizette Koehler]

Gadi,

You could use a scheduling package to submit the first job that would do the
vary, then submit a second job to do the defrag, then have it issue a last
job to do the last vary.

Or you could write a REXX that runs in batch that does all this and does
condition code checking.

Or you could write (and there might be one on the CBT Tape website) that
uses SVC34 to issue commands.

I thought when you used DFDSS to defrag a pack it was "locked" the volume
until the defrag completes, so you would not need to put the volume in
DISNEW status.  Though I might be remembering wrong.

Why three jobs?  Couldn't the first vary and the defrag be combined in a
single job?

And to avoid races, it's probably safer not to use a scheduler, but
to have the defrag job submit the last vary with IEBGENER.

Re: How do I issue Vary SMS commands in batch

I would issue the commands using TSO Console command and get the response to
see if the command was executed with no problem. Entering the command is one
thing, and ensuring that the command did what you wanted is another
thing. Rexx / Clist are best platforms for doing this.

Yes, if your security folks bless it. Use the CONSOLE command in batch
TSO.
