John, I will certainly miss you and your wisdom. I regard you in the same area 
as Walter Farrell (RACF) and John Erhman (Assembler).

About all your good posts here, you were to me like that "Babel fish" (in The 
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy). Everything you said was very understandable 
and informative as well educational. Who will now replace you and educate all 
of us on IBM-MAIN?

You must enjoy your wisdom and all your hobbies. May God bless you and your 
family on your new journey.

Thanks again!

Groete / Greetings

Re: APAR OA56589 for DFDSS DUMP of ZFS

[Jesse 1 Robinson]

IBM is still working on a fix for OA56589, but we have validated that 
unmounting all but the one SERVICE-only ZFS set being managed allows it to be 
migrated successfully, that is dumped and restored elsewhere in the enterprise. 
In other words, the actual problem that motivated our SR--leading to 
OA56589--can be circumvented. Level 2 says that the 'orphan VSAM' error can 
occur in other circumstances and so will provide a fix, but we are good in the 
meantime.

I don't know the extent of the fix. The APAR is still steaming off the press. 
It's not just same name; it's the use of PATH to distinguish one ZFS from 
another by HLQ. In the days of HFS, we used alias. We had to change to PATH 
because of the VSAMishness of ZFS.

Just to be clear here... You're looking for an API that will tell you about

Re: ZFS RECORG=FS

[Lizette Koehler]

So I went into ISMF Test function.

On the field where the RECORG is specified I placed the CURSOR

I entered FS and it came back as an INVALID ENTRY

I then hit the PF1 Key - It stated on KS, RR, LS, ES or blanks  are allowed.  

So you cannot use FS as a value on the TEST PANEL IN ISMF


>From the HELP Panel for ISMF TEST for RECORG field:


Use the RECORG field to specify the data set record organization you want to .
use in the simulated allocation. .
.
Possible values: .
.
KS VSAM Key Sequenced data set .
ES VSAM Entry Sequenced data set .
RR VSAM Relative Record data set .
LS VSAM Linear Space data set .
blank unknown .
.
For example: .

Was this copied from SAMPLIB(ISPBTCH)?

Wouldn't it be useful if IBM supplied the core of this as a PROCLIB or JCLLIB
member to be imbedded in both ISPBTCH and TSO LOGON procs, possibly
customized by sites, so users could have similar environments for both
batch and interactive ISPF without tedious code copying?

(Does IBM distribute anything as JCLLIB members nowadays?  Perhaps with
specific program products?)

For an application API, consider CVAF (or DADSM) -- these services have been 
around for decades; handles dynamic configuration changes, pinned UCBs, and the 
like.  As for "catalog information", likely need to interrogate reading BCS, 
VVDS components and post-process results for correlation, while also need to 
consider "shared" vs "dedicated" device configuration scenario (i.e., duplicate 
information handling).

IDCAMS DCOLECT VOLS(*) will give you the volume data you need.

API for accessing available DASD to each LPAR in a sysplex.

[Matt Hogstrom]

Is there a callable API that returns the list of online volumes to LPARs in a 
Sysplex?  I assume one could route a command and write scripts.  I’m looking 
for an API that can be incorporated into a program where all the searching and 
cataloging is done.

At my old job, I used XMITIP, which is freeware, to do that via a SARBATCH
job. That is I had it email me the extracted report as a PDF document.
Lionel Dyck has two tools on his website <

is an ISPF interface to CA-VIEW called 'CAVXTRT'. CAVXTRT can be found in
the ISPF tools section. The other tool is XMITIP and is found in the TCP/IP

Re: SFTP between AIX to Mainframe

[Kirk Wolf]

Venkat,

The reason for this can be found clearly hidden in the z/OS OpenSSH User's
Guide, CH 4:


By default, sftp assumes that files are binary. Files transferred between
EBCDIC and ASCII platforms are not converted.
...
By default, scp performs ASCII/EBCDIC conversion on files. For more
information about how scp performs conversion, see Chapter 7,
“Globalization on z/OS systems,” on page 55.

This is the first time you have mentioned SCP. You said your problems were

Sounds great!  Especially the metalworking - I hope that's where you get 
to melt and mold things, or maybe shape things on a lathe.  Thanks for 
all the ServerPac help over many years, and of course for the 
participation here.

This is because IBM implemented z/OS SCP incorrectly.

SCP on z/OS treats all data as character data and does ASCII/EBCDIC 
translation on it.


You have to use SFTP on z/OS to transfer binary data.

Re: ZFS RECORG=FS

I don't see FS as a possibility either ; 
HELP on the RECORG in the ISMF TEST CASE panel tells me 


RECORG must contain KS, ES, RR, LS, or blanks 


LS would do the trick for you I believe

You cannot code FS for an LS dataset. That will not work. zFS are Linear and

I have never coded RECORG in any thing that uses zFS Files. Either during the

I am not sure why you want to use it for your process. 

Please post the documentation that requires the use of RECORG for this process.

Many thanks for all the help and information you have offered here over these 
many years.  As others have said, you will surely be missed.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

(Traditional Irish blessing)

Friday, 14 December 2018, will be my last day at IBM. For the curious, I 
started on a Wednesday, 1 June 1977, so it will be 41 years, 6 months since I 
started as a CE in the local Poughkeepsie branch office. 

It's time to shed the daily stress, devote more time to my hobbies (diving, 
amateur radio, metalworking, cycling), and find a place in the County that can 
use an active volunteer for however many hours I feel like working (if any). 

I won't be able to get notes on my IBM e-mail address after about noon Friday. 
I also won't get phone messages after that time at my work phone number, 
because they arrive as e-mail attachments. 

Hanging out here has been quite instructive and usually fun (smile), so: 
Thanks, folks. 

All the best, everyone.

It looks like CA is merging CA View and CA Deliver.  We just installed R14 and 
they share a common load library.

Re: ZFS RECORG=FS

Well, the DFSMS manual states that RECORG=FS is valid. Once again, this issue 
is in creating a test case in ISMF; have not tried it in JCL.

You cannot code FS for an LS dataset.  That will not work.  zFS are Linear and

I have never coded RECORG in any thing that uses zFS Files.  Either during the
DEF LINEAR or when using then in JCL or other actions.

I am not sure why you want to use it for your process.

Please post the documentation that requires the use of RECORG for this process.

This does not make sense to me.

Re: ZFS RECORG=FS

[Carmen Vitullo]

I misunderstood, I read your question wrong, the ACS test case should be 
created using 
DSORG: VS 
and prolly some HLQ standard name for your ZFS dataset names 
I have my test case setup like 



DESCRIPTION1: 
TEST ZFS 
DSN: OMVS.ZOSV2R1.SYST.MVSRST.CFZVAR 
DSORG: VS 
ACSENVIR: ALLOC 
SIZE: 150 
STORCLAS: OMVS 
DEF_STORCLAS: OMVS 
SPACE_TYPE: CYL 
SECOND_QTY: 5 
VOL: 01 


so I used more than just the DSORG to direct ZFS to the correct storage pool

Re: ZFS RECORG=FS

[Hervey Martinez]

We are not defining the files for conversion, we are just testing for proper 
pool storage pool assignment.

After ACS updates, I was trying to test the changes via ISMF option 7.4 and 
creating a test case; it would not let me use the FS for RECORG.

error. i did add this to the ACS routines and we are able to allocate a ZFS and 
convert an HFS to ZFS.

Any idea how to correct this RECORG=FS?

Re: ZFS RECORG=FS

[Lizette Koehler]

Did you include the keyword LINEAR in your VSAM Define of the zFS?

Actually there are tools provided to convert HFS to zFS.

1)  Please show Vsam Define statements

2)  Please show how you formatted the zFS

3)  Please show the messages you get when the RECORG is not recognized - do not 
filter the output but mask shop proprietary   information

Re: Thanks For All the Fish

John,

Ditto to all that others have mentioned! 

IBM-Main is going to take a knowledge hit in your absence. Who do we *itch 
about issues relating to ServerPac now?  

Seriously, all the best! Feel free to stop back here from time to time, even 
just to brag about retirement.  41.5 years? Sheesh! It takes me about 15-20 
companies to hit that total. Granted, a lot as a consultant/contractor gigs, 
but still, your tenure is very impressive.

Drop me a line after the new year. I have an old tube radio from my grandfather 
that needs a tube or two replaced. I have had it in my possession for 30 years 
now and done nothing with it. If you are interested, let me know.

Friday, 14 December 2018, will be my last day at IBM.  For the curious, I 
started on a Wednesday, 1 June 1977, so it will be 41 years, 6 months since I 
started as a CE in the local Poughkeepsie branch office.

It's time to shed the daily stress, devote more time to my hobbies (diving, 
amateur radio, metalworking, cycling), and find a place in the County that can 
use an active volunteer for however many hours I feel like working (if any).

I won't be able to get notes on my IBM e-mail address after about noon Friday.  
I also won't get phone messages after that time at my work phone number,

Hi John:

Congratulations on your retirement.  Dave and I will miss you, but I'm 
sure that you'll find plenty to do.


May your retirement be long, healthy and productive.  SHARE and the TDMs 
won't be the same without you, sir.


If you care to share your private email address with me I'll drop by 
once in a while.


For now, I wish you a joyous holiday season.  You're one of the great 
ones John, and your absence will leave a hole in the community.


Sincerely,
Bob

Re: ZFS RECORG=FS

that's correct,defining as a LINEAR VSAM CL and then using the IOA format 
utility ? 
IOEAGFMT - 
converting from HFS to ZFS is not so bad using the utility I had posted 
previously - no need to define the ZFS beforehand the utility will do this for 
you

Re: ZFS RECORG=FS

I don't recall any DFSMS conversion routine, there is a rexx exec to convert 
HFS to ZFS 
this can be run via TSO interactive (ISPF) BPXWH2Z with no parameters and it 
will prompt for files and parm 
or this can be run batch 
make sure either way the SYS1.SBPXEXEC is part of your SYSEXEC DD

Re: SFTP between AIX to Mainframe

[venkat kulkarni]

Hello Group,

We identified the issue and resolve it  and the solution is, if we use SCP
to transfer file  from AIX to Mainframe, data gets corrupt during
transmission.
But when we use SFTP to transfer file from AIX to Mainframe, this process
works perfectly.

I am unable to find reason, why SCP causing this issue. But problem has
been solved.
Thank you so much for helping always .

You want to monitor ECSA usage (which you probably already do).


This function is something alike „selective common area data-in-virtual“. It

between mmap() users. See „MVS Initialization & Tuning Guide - BMXPRMxx“ - 
MAXMMAPAREA for details about how much ECSA is used.
