Re: SDSF I (Input) Screen with z/OS 1.9

Just want to give an udpate on this issue.  IBM has opened OA26013 for me, 
if anyone else is interested.

Curt

IBM opened for me OA24615 a while ago and they had us test PK69442 week 
before last which did not help the issues. They are back looking at traces, 
dumps, etc, we supplied. It is that time of the month when we generate our 
WLC reports to send into IBM. I am paying particular attention to figuring out 
how much this problem has cost me as far as MSUs and deducting it off my 
SCRT report. I may not be able to quantify but I just gotta give it the ole 
college try.

z/OS 1.9 SDSF (Was: SDSF I (Input) Screen with z/OS 1.9)

Yup. SSI 80 is the quickest way to achieve JES neutrality. 
Unfortunately, fundamental programming changes nearly always create 
fundamental problems. And, based on recent postings to IBM-MAIN, it 
seems that *someone* at IBM should have noticed this high degree of 
performance degradation before the customers did in production.


And, why the rush to release such fundamental and undocumented internal 
changes with bad performance no obvious external benefit to existing 
customers? The whole exercise seems a bit hurried and sloppy to me.


I guess the cowboys are now in charge ... O:-)

Hi,

POS appears to be working fine for us (with 5 jobs waiting in class O,
and 27 in class P). There is also a Wpos column for positions within WLM
service classes, but that appears sensibly filled as well. I presume you
reworked any ISFPRM customisation from the ISFPRM01 defaults. This
particular system isn't in a sysplex though.

Hello,
I migrated my first system to z/OS v1.9 this past weekend, and my
Operations staff noticed that the SDSF I screen, and its column
labeled POS appears to be broken. In looking at this same screen on a
1.8 system (in the same plex), the numbering sequence of jobs waiting
appears correct (sequential). However, this same set of jobs on the 1.9
system has a POS numbering scheme that appears to be random, with
position numbers missing.

I did a quick search on IBMLink and IBM-Main, and found no hits. I also
reviewed the 1.9 migration manual and found no reference to this SDSF
screen.

I am curisous if others who have migrated to z/OS 1.9 have encountered
this,
and if so, what has been your reaction.  I have also opened a PMR with
IBM.

Thanks,
Curt

Different sort key, perhaps?

At the moment I can't say whether we'd see something similar, because
there are no jobs awaiting execution on either the 1.7 or 1.9 images.

Have you re-assemed ISFPARMS, any exits, umods, etc with the correct
macro levels?
Have you removed module ISFLPA from LPALIB/LPALST?

Nope.  I did notice that dup jobs get a POS number under z/OS 1.9 and
not on 1.8 from what I can tell.

If you type ARRANGE ? in the command line is the POS width the same on
both your 1.8 and 1.9 systems?

Re: SDSF I (Input) Screen with z/OS 1.9

2008-07-16 Thread Skip Robinson
There was a fundamental and as far as I know undocumented change in SDSF
for 1.9. The change affected primarily the 'ST' and 'I' displays because of
the mechanism used to collect information from JES2. We were an ESP
customer for 1.9 and noticed early on that the 'I' and 'ST' displays were
pretty much identical. In other words, 'I' displayed way more than it
should have. That was fixed via APAR, but I can't find it at the moment.

All users of SDSF at 1.9+ should look at OA25498 , which mentions the new
Extended Status SSI interface. A number of anomalies are or might be
attributable to this functional change.
