Re: IEFU29 - Intermittently does not get control

2010-07-18 Thread Peter Relson
It seems unlikely that the system is failing to call the exit routines in 
the circumstances in which it is documented to do so. 

Have you tried putting a SLIP trap wherever the call is initiated to 
confirm that your expectation of calling the exit matches the reality?

Are you certain that your IEFU29 is defined properly? There is not one 
single IEFU29 exit. There is, for example, SYS.IEFU29 and SYSSTC.IEFU29 
etc.
Doing various DISPLAY PROG,EXIT's can make sure that you have all of the 
IEFU29's defined that you want and that your exit routine is associated 
properly with each. You might even try using a name other than IEFU29 
(there is no need to use the name IEFU29 for your exit routine) with 
appropriate EXIT ADD statements in PROGxx.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Do you do the switch on all LPARS simultaneously on midnight? My (bad)
experience is that you should do 'I SMF' one or two LPAR(s) in a sysplex at a
time.

We do via our scheduling package TWS...I see them regularly run within 
seconds on all 3 sysplex members.
What is running on that LPAR during midnight?
Not much.  Only one of the other LPAR's is busy (DB2 database for SAP and 
thats about it) running SAP batch. 
We issue I MVS at around midnight followed by our daily SMF accumulation
process.  We also switch our JES2 SYSLOG at this time.  Interestingly I moved
the I SMF command just a few minutes later and U29 seems to get control
just fine.

What is 'I MVS' command? You mean perhaps 'I SMF'?
my bad...yup I SMF

Perhaps that exit does something? Submitting a job or issueing a WTO?
Vanilla IEFU29 right out of SYS1.SAMPLIB.

I'ts my understanding that IEFU29 runs as part of the SMF address space so
I assume that I'm off base assuming that the WRITELOG we issue for the
SYSLOG at the same time is affecting IEFU29however moving the time by
just a few minutes after the WRITELOG seems to have solved the issue.  Has
anyone else come accross this before?

IEFU29 is indeed part of SMF address space as documented.
I have no more comments, but who issued the WRITELOG and 'I SMF'
commands?
Batch job (IEBGENER) issues I SMF

 Any notions about why IEFU29 is not invoking as expected?

What is your exit doing? Do you have the source code?
see my previous on this
