Re: Dataset enqueue, how to find the culprit.

[Lizette Koehler]

So, it will depend on how often the TSO message for enqueue is produced.  If it 
is not frequent, you may have to set slips or live with rerunning the job.

Or if it is frequent, you might try adding a first step with DISP=OLD on your 
file.  then you would have a better idea of what is doing it or have the job 
wait until the file is freed.

You did not show what type of process is being used when this occurs.  So if 
this is REXX/CLIST that does LM functions, or an IEBCOPY, or other

Perhaps if you could describe the process and functions being used that this 
condition occurred,  we might provide better diags or alternatives.

If you want recovery in that exit you basically need to determine the 
environment you were invoked in and do something appropriate. As you've 
noticed, "appropriate" will vary depending on the request type and other 
options, and will depend in some cases on how the caller has decided to invoke 
you.

Some are simpler than others. REQUEST=VERIFY, for example, is documented as 
requiring an environment where an SVC can be issued, and does not require any 
particular state or key. So for that you could use an ESTAE(X). Each request 
type has a documented programming environment.

So you start out by figuring out what you want to do in the routine (which 
request type(s) you want to process), and what environments they can be called 
in. If you only want one particular request type, I would filter other requests 
out before establishing your recovery as that will make things much simpler.

By the way, starting your recovery adventure with ICHRTX00 may not be your best 
choice. You should probably learn about recovery using (a) some simpler routine 
that (b) won't kill your system if you get it wrong.

There is another way to get to the index.
Instead of clicking on the .pdx file, open any document in the directory that 
has the .pdx file.
Click on "Edit" then "Advanced Search".
Click on "Show More Options".
In the menu under "Look in:" click on "Select Index..."
The .pdx file will be the only choice shown. Click the "OK" button".
Enter what you want to search for.

This worked for Acrobat XI 11.0.12.

Hello everyone,
I wnat to know how to debug this situation after it occurred, in this case,
the next day. In this particular case Connect Direct was unable to pick
this library for a transmission task becuase it was in use by someone (user

But basically, what tool do you normally use for a situation like this ???
to find the enqueue after the problem take place ??

Recovery routine for ICHRTX00

[Leonardo Vaz]

Hello List!

I want to make use of the MVS router exit ICHRTX00 but I am having trouble 
defining a recovery routine for it. I can't use ESTAE-like routines because 
locks can be held when the exit is called and I can't use FRR because it needs 
Supervisor state and PSW key 0 while the exit might be called in any state and 
key.

This will be my first real recovery routine so I'm pretty sure I'm missing 
something basic, does anyone has any ideas?

Thanks,
Leo

  I can tell you what IPCS does.  The FIND subcommand processor BLSRFIND 
calls
BLSUTRMV to issue the message.  Comments in BLSUTRMV say that it does 
this: 


If ISPF services are not available, the message is 
transmitted to the terminal via the TSO IKJPUTL service 
routine.  IKJPUTL processing is sensitive to the TSO 
environment and the current context: 
 
A. The most common disposition of the message is to use the
   TPUT service to send the message to the terminal.  This 
   is the normal action in an interactive TSO session. 
 
B. In a batch TSO session, the most common disposition of 
   the message is to use QSAM PUT processing to write the 
   line to FILE(SYSTSPRT). 
 
C. During CLIST processing in either interactive or batch 
   TSO sessions, 
 
 CONTROL NOMSG 
 
   may be used to cause the message to be discarded. 
 
D. When TSO/E is installed and CLIST processing is active, 
 
 SET SYSOUTTRAP=decimal-number 
 
   may be used to cause the message to be captured in a 
CLIST variable. 
 
The several actions possible are services performed by 
IKJPUTL, not BLSUTRMV. 
 
 
  And the code agrees with these comments.  There is no checking
of batch vs. terminal.   It just calls IKJPUTL.  So I would guess
that whatever differences you are seeing would be a question for
TSO/E.

Re: Recovery routine for ICHRTX00

[J O Skip Robinson]

This may sound heretical, but I lean against recovery actions for system exits. 
In most cases, the environment in which a system-defined exit runs is protected 
already. Messages are issued, dumps are taken, and some semblance of order is 
restored. In many cases the exit is disabled so that repetitive abends are 
avoided. What actions would a user recovery environment take better than this? 
Test your exit for as long as possible on a sandbox system. Then move it to a 
development system for as long as possible. At long last move it to production. 
A user written recovery routine would probably take longer to debug than 
whatever exit code caused a failure in the first place.

If you want recovery in that exit you basically need to determine the 
environment you were invoked in and do something appropriate. As you've 
noticed, "appropriate" will vary depending on the request type and other 
options, and will depend in some cases on how the caller has decided to invoke 
you.

Some are simpler than others. REQUEST=VERIFY, for example, is documented as 
requiring an environment where an SVC can be issued, and does not require any 
particular state or key. So for that you could use an ESTAE(X). Each request 
type has a documented programming environment.

So you start out by figuring out what you want to do in the routine (which 
request type(s) you want to process), and what environments they can be called 
in. If you only want one particular request type, I would filter other requests 
out before establishing your recovery as that will make things much simpler.

By the way, starting your recovery adventure with ICHRTX00 may not be your best 
choice. You should probably learn about recovery using (a) some simpler routine 
that (b) won't kill your system if you get it wrong.

Re: MPF message processing not started for msg

[J O Skip Robinson]

When you get 'terminated at end of memory', all bets are off. This generally 
happens when the address space has run out of storage to the point that 
recovery routines cannot run. No recovery, no message processing, no 
preservation of sysout, etc. Your MPF entries indicate user exit processing. 
Probably not going to happen.

I understand the point you are making, that an employee is told
to do something that they know is illegal or immoral, and they 
do it anyway.  Having worked for a non-profit health insurance 
company many, many years ago, I was often asked if we intentionally
programmed the system to automatically reject a claim on first
submission, regardless of whether the claim met all criteria for
processing.  I was never asked to do that, nor was I aware of
any such code within their claims processing system.  Yet, the
public perspective was that the company did that.

Not sure how that story fits into the discussion at hand, but
it is late in the day, and I'm looking for ways to fill my time
until "Miller" time.

Richard,

I think that there is a big difference here in that the programming staff at 
Volkswagen, if the initial reports are accurate, could not reasonably not have 
known that what they were coding was in furtherance of a crime.

As an employee of a company who deals with HIPPA controlled/protected data, I 
feel very uncomfortable knowing that I can be charged either with a civil or 
criminal violation in the event that HIPPA data, under my control, is 
accidentally lost or stolen.  And I am not talking about an intentional leak of 
protected patient information.  What really floored me this year, when I took 
the yearly HIPPA certification online class, was HIPPA is administered under 
the Office of Civil Rights.

Regardless of my personal political theology, it makes me uncomfortable that if 
I offend a person or persons, the friendly neighborhood OCR representative 
could be asked to "look at" my activities as relating to HIPPA compliance.  I'm 
sure an unbiased and diligent OCR employee might uncover some violation(s) if 
they
investigated long and hard enough.

In the referenced article, it is being reported that Volkswagen had their 
programming staff intentionally program the computers controlling the pollution 
control systems on certain 2008-2015 Audi and Volkswagen diesel vehicles to 
activate the full pollution control systems ONLY when the vehicle was 
undergoing official emissions testing.  At all other times, the pollution 
control systems were inactive and the vehicles were putting out emissions as 
high as 40 times the legal limit.

The company is facing $18 billion in fines.

It is unclear whether the Volkswagen executives who directed the scheme will 
face criminal charges.

It is also unclear whether the programming staff who wrote the code will face 
criminal charges.

Even though this is not a mainframe issue, it is an issue that directly affects 
us and our industry.  Hackers are already a significant black eye.
This is much worse.  It makes legitimate programmers look suspect.

It raises the uncomfortable question of whether or not we can or should be held 
criminally liable if we are directed to code a program or a change to a program 
that we know would have the effect of violating the law and we then knowingly 
proceed to code that program or a change to a program.

It has been suggested in the past that programmers should be licensed and/or 
bonded.

I am not particularly fond of either idea.  However, I would like to hear what 
others think.

I did a 'D MPF' to make sure the exits were defined and active.

Does anyone have an idea on why the exits were not called?

Re: z/OS V2.2 Manuals are zipped up

Thanks!  You've explained to me how to use it that even the person that created 
the index couldn't tell me.

However, I have a problem when I try to open that "zOS V2R2 PDFs July 2015.pdx" 
file.  Yes, I see the permission box, which is ok.  But after that I see an 
error "Search could not load the index (C:\\Userssnipped\zOS

on this error, and the only thing I find is a workaround to use the index from

Do you know how to fix the problem that "search could not load"?

HTTP Server Domino Migration Health Check

[Marna WALLE]

If you've heard me talk about z/OS V2.2 migration, then I know you've heard me 
nag about getting an important migration health check to see if you're impacted 
by what I think of as the most important migration action in z/OS V2.2:  
Removal of the HTTP Server powered by Domino, and moving to the HTTP Server 
powered by Apache as its replacement.

The migration health check to see if you are using the Domino HTTP Server on a 
system is found here (not in any PTF):
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/installation/HTTP_Health_Checker.html

Today, we just updated that migration health check for a problem that was found 
only for z/OS R13 users.  If you are a z/OS V2.1 user, this problem did NOT 
apply to you, and you are fine with the level of the check you have now.  
However, if you running z/OS R13 and have run this health check before today, 
please download a new copy of it and run the check again.  This check will even 
run on unsupported releases prior to R13.

For everyone going to or through z/OS V2.2:  if you haven't already downloaded 
this check and run it, please do.  This check is very important to let you know 
if you have a Domino to Apache migration in your future.  This migration action 
might be quite a lot of work to do, so knowing if you are impacted now on z/OS 
R13 or V2.1 is critical.

As always, if there are any questions about this migration health check, please 
let me know.

Hi Mark,
For the IBM Education Assistance (note: not IBM Education Assistant!), use this

That is the "top page" for all the IBM Education Assistance levels, which is

The other link (http://www-01.ibm.com/software/info/education/assistant/) is 
for IBM Education Assistant, and won't contain new z/OS modules.   I know it's 
a little confusing, but z/OS has "broken out" of using IBM Education Assistant, 
and created our own location that fits our needs better.  We called it "IBM 
Education Assistance" to indicate that the goals are the same - which is to 
deliver small education packets to you.  All of z/OS will be on the IBM

p.s.  Thanks for mentioning the z/OS V2.1 modules too - they are also found

"One more thing!"
#1. I do NOT know anything about Acrobat Search, but I am looking at what I 
have after unzipping the files on my system.

So I asked about the level of reader you are using, but I forgot to ask, in the 
directory that you have the " zOS V2R2 PDFs July 2015.pdx" do you have all the 
PDF files AND another directory, " zOS V2R2 PDFs July 2015" with files in it, 
"index.idx", "index1.idx" and "index2.idx"?

I know it is a bad thing to "assume" so that is why I am asking if you have the 
same file structure that we poor saps received when we downloaded the zip file 
and unzipped it.

If you have RMF setup for ISPF, and the RMF VSAM files are available, you can 
use the ISPF RMF tool to go back in time for the enqueue information.

Did you look in syslog for any GRS information?
Did you go and look and see what other jobs were running when this job had this 
issue?

Re: Dataset enqueue, how to find the culprit.

[J O Skip Robinson]

Well I'll be darned. I had not looked carefully at OP's message. That is 
*exactly* the context of the enqueue case I posted generically. SDAA004I is NDM 
or ConnectDirect depending on your perspective. We seem to have a lot of these 
self-clashes in our environment. I have not talked with the affected users, but 
it appears from the NDM control statements echoed in syslog that they are 
trying to send a data set from SystemX to SystemX with the same name. I suspect 
that they are requesting exclusive control of the 'target', i.e. OLD. But NDM 
is already using the data set as 'source', so it cannot obtain an exclusive 
enqueue for the same name. When the enqueue fails, the NDM process terminates, 
so a D GRS command a split second later shows no enqueue. That's how our 
(ancient) version of NDM works.

OP's situation may not be so simple, but I suggest looking the NDM process to 
see if there's a logic problem.

So, it will depend on how often the TSO message for enqueue is produced.  If it 
is not frequent, you may have to set slips or live with rerunning the job.

Or if it is frequent, you might try adding a first step with DISP=OLD on your 
file.  then you would have a better idea of what is doing it or have the job 
wait until the file is freed.

You did not show what type of process is being used when this occurs.  So if 
this is REXX/CLIST that does LM functions, or an IEBCOPY, or other

Perhaps if you could describe the process and functions being used that this 
condition occurred,  we might provide better diags or alternatives.

There is NO SUCH THINGS as a culprit!
They are just doing their job and so are you. They just happened to collide.

I think this setting for RMF will cut an SMF record for enqueue conditions.
RMF must be started pointing to the member which specifies ENQ(DETAIL).

Volkswagen Programmed Vehicle to Deactivate Pollution Control Systems

[John P. Baker]

http://www.foxbusiness.com/industries/2015/09/18/epa-says-vw-intentionally-v
iolates-clean-air-standards/?intcmp=hpbt1

 

In the referenced article, it is being reported that Volkswagen had their
programming staff intentionally program the computers controlling the
pollution control systems on certain 2008-2015 Audi and Volkswagen diesel
vehicles to activate the full pollution control systems ONLY when the
vehicle was undergoing official emissions testing.  At all other times, the
pollution control systems were inactive and the vehicles were putting out
emissions as high as 40 times the legal limit.

 

The company is facing $18 billion in fines.

 

It is unclear whether the Volkswagen executives who directed the scheme will
face criminal charges.

 

It is also unclear whether the programming staff who wrote the code will
face criminal charges.

 

Even though this is not a mainframe issue, it is an issue that directly
affects us and our industry.  Hackers are already a significant black eye.
This is much worse.  It makes legitimate programmers look suspect.

 

It raises the uncomfortable question of whether or not we can or should be
held criminally liable if we are directed to code a program or a change to a
program that we know would have the effect of violating the law and we then
knowingly proceed to code that program or a change to a program.

 

It has been suggested in the past that programmers should be licensed and/or
bonded.

 

I am not particularly fond of either idea.  However, I would like to hear
what others think.

Re: Volkswagen Programmed Vehicle to Deactivate Pollution Control Systems

[Richard Pinion]

As an employee of a company who deals with HIPPA controlled/protected data, I 
feel
very uncomfortable knowing that I can be charged either with a civil or criminal
violation in the event that HIPPA data, under my control, is accidentally lost 
or
stolen.  And I am not talking about an intentional leak of protected patient
information.  What really floored me this year, when I took the yearly HIPPA
certification online class, was HIPPA is administered under the Office of Civil
Rights.

Regardless of my personal political theology, it makes me uncomfortable that
if I offend a person or persons, the friendly neighborhood OCR representative
could be asked to "look at" my activities as relating to HIPPA compliance.  I'm
sure an unbiased and diligent OCR employee might uncover some violation(s) if 
they
investigated long and hard enough.

Dataset enqueue, how to find the culprit.

[Toni Cecil]

Hello,
yesterday I got the following dsn enqueue:
IKJ56225I DATA SET TLF.ZPT.JCL.CNTL ALREADY IN USE, TRY LATER+
IKJ56225I DATA SET IS ALLOCATED TO ANOTHER JOB OR USER
SDAA004I - RETURN=(DD),PERM=YES DSN=TLF.ZPT.JCL.CNTL(ZZZTXXXB),
DISP=SHR
SDAB005I - ERR=0210, INFO=, REQUESTED DATA SET NOT AVAILABLE.
SDAB005I ALLOCATED TO ANOTHER JOB.

Is there a way to find today, who was "locking" the pds library ?? I run
DAF tool against TLF.ZPT.JCL.CNTL to see if something was shown about the
enqueue, but I didn't find anything, am I doing something wrong ?? Or is
there any other utility that could be more appropriate to check this
"problem" ??

Many thx, A.Cecilio.

Re: UNABLE TO RESTORE DSN USING DFDSS

Lizette,

You are right.  There is not enough space on the volume.  Yes, I am restoring 
the dsns (which are SMS managed) with a rename.  The input dsns and output dsns 
are located on the same Storage group.

Thanks for the help.

 If you look up the

 One possible reason for the failure

 other reasons are indicated by preceding

 Do you have

Re: Dataset enqueue, how to find the culprit.

[Jousma, David]

One of the quickest ways, is to go to ISPF option 3.4, and pull up that 
dataset, and do a "R" to rename it(don’t really rename it though).  When it 
says 'dataset in use", hit PF1 and you get a list of jobs with enqueues on it.

Re: Dataset enqueue, how to find the culprit.

[Lizette Koehler]

If you have RMF setup for ISPF, and the RMF VSAM files are available, you can 
use the ISPF RMF tool to go back in time for the enqueue information.

Did you look in syslog for any GRS information?
Did you go and look and see what other jobs were running when this job had this 
issue?

Re: Dataset enqueue, how to find the culprit.

[Lizette Koehler]

That only works if the file is allocated now.

I think the OP wants to go back in time to find the enqueue.  The enqueue 
happened yesterday and today I want to know who had the file.

UNABLE TO RESTORE DSN USING DFDSS

[willie bunter]

Good Day,

I am trying to restore a PS dsn using DFDSS with a rename.  However I have hit 
a roadblock with a few dsns with the same abend MESSAGE :
 EXTENT REDUCTION FAILED FOR DATA SET

Can someone suggest how I can bypass this problem?  Below is the abend message:

ADR709E (001)-VDSS (01), AN ERROR OCCURRED IN THE STORAGE MANAGEMENT SUBSYSTEM 
WHILE ALLOCATING DATA SET SYSC12.SMFDUMP.G2725V00
 WITH NEWNAME HESP.SMFDUMP.G2725V00. SMS MESSAGES 
FOLLLOW.
 IGD17365I EXTENT REDUCTION FAILED FOR DATA SET

 REQPRI=004569TRK REQSEC=50MB  REQVOLS=01  

Thanks.

Re: UNABLE TO RESTORE DSN USING DFDSS

[Lizette Koehler]

If you look up the IGD17365I - it states
A SMS VTOC data set services extent reduction request for the data set failed.
One possible reason for the failure is that not enough space could be obtained;
other reasons are indicated by preceding messages.

Do you have sufficient space on the volume for the restore?  Looks like you need
at minimum 4569TRK 
You did not show us your control cards so I am not sure if you are restoring to
the same volume or different volume.

Re: IPCS BLS18028I message suppression

[J O Skip Robinson]

I have no particular insight into this design, but I know a few things about 
TPUT vs. PUTLINE. For one thing, TPUT does not even work at all in batch. 
Neither can it be captured by OUTTRAP in foreground or background. PUTLINE 
works for both. So from the evidence presented, I would guess that BLS18028I 
issued in batch via PUTLINE but interactively via TPUT. So why the difference? 
Sounds like a bug, whether at the design level or in implementation. 

You could try first to get an APAR. Sigh, good luck. Failing that an RFE. I 
can't imagine that IBM would defend the current function as, Yes, that's 
exactly what we had in mind. Like the cat who bounces off the patio glass and 
tries to look purposefully nonchalant. An oops is an oops.

Interesting you should suggest that.
I did a batch IPCS run with my REXX and sure enough, in TSO/Batch the BLS18028I 
is captured by OUTTRAP and my REXX displays it as expected.

Question now is, why isn't it captured with the REXX is executed interactively?

So, if IPCS is executed in interactive TSO, the BLS18028I messages is issued to 
the "print" file that is displayed upon the terminal.
If, however, the same REXX is executed in TSO/Batch, the message is captured by 
OUTTRAP and placed in the stem that was passed in the first OUTTRAP call. It 
does not appear in the print file nor on the output associated with SYSTSPRT.

Interesting.

Since the primary use of this REXX will be batch as opposed to interactive, I 
can live with it I guess.
Just wish it would work the same regardless of environment.

Assuming it is a TPUT and assuming your logic doesn't depend on it, (yeah, I 
know) could you run it in batch?  This may prevent the message messing up your 
report.

Re: Dataset enqueue, how to find the culprit.

[J O Skip Robinson]

As others have pointed out, enqueue is often a fleeting problem. By the time 
you get around to looking into it, it's long gone. After experiencing this 
problem a while back, we instructed our automation product to issue a D GRS 
command at the time of the conflict based on msgid IKJ56225I.  

IKJ56225I DATA SET already-in-use-dataset ALREADY IN USE, TRY LATER+
IKJ56225I DATA SET IS ALLOCATED TO ANOTHER JOB OR USER

D GRS,RES=(*, already-in-use-dataset)  

If you decide to implement a similar process, be aware of some gotchas. (1) The 
msgid appears twice. If you're not careful, you'll be issuing D GRS for dataset 
'IS'. Not a big deal, but it looks squirrelly. (2) The command itself might be 
issued too late to capture the contention. It can happen, for instance, that a 
task is actually enqueuing on itself (!). If the task terminates upon the 
enqueue, D GRS will find no contention. As odd as this sounds, we have seen 
cases like this.

I created a REXX called WHI (who has it). Here is the code:

PROC 1 DSN   
/* CLRSCRN */
ISRDDN E 

Then in 3.4 enter WHI and it will display any enqueue. 

Thanks

Sorry, you have to hit PF1 twice to get the display I mentioned.

One of the quickest ways, is to go to ISPF option 3.4, and pull up that 
dataset, and do a "R" to rename it(don’t really rename it though).  When it 
says 'dataset in use", hit PF1 and you get a list of jobs with enqueues on it.

Hello,
yesterday I got the following dsn enqueue:
IKJ56225I DATA SET TLF.ZPT.JCL.CNTL ALREADY IN USE, TRY LATER+ IKJ56225I DATA 
SET IS ALLOCATED TO ANOTHER JOB OR USER SDAA004I - RETURN=(DD),PERM=YES 
DSN=TLF.ZPT.JCL.CNTL(ZZZTXXXB), DISP=SHR SDAB005I - ERR=0210, INFO=, 
REQUESTED DATA SET NOT AVAILABLE.
SDAB005I ALLOCATED TO ANOTHER JOB.

Is there a way to find today, who was "locking" the pds library ?? I run DAF 
tool against TLF.ZPT.JCL.CNTL to see if something was shown about the enqueue, 
but I didn't find anything, am I doing something wrong ?? Or is there any other 
utility that could be more appropriate to check this "problem" ??

Many thx, A.Cecilio.
