R.F. Perretta
Hi Folks, Does anyone know the whereabouts of R.F. Perretta, who used to write articles for the Xephon magazines? I very much enjoy his coding, and the subjects of his articles, and I would like to get in touch with him. Anyone who has information, please write back to me, either on the list, or off-list, and let me know. Thank you very much. All the best of everything to all of you.

Re: Remote access to Z14 ZR1 Support Element via HMC question
Laurence, thanks for the earlier clarification. Just to make sure that I understand At this point, the zBC12 and the ZR1 are sitting in the DR site, each with their own HMC (on the same network). Right? If so I'd hazard a guess that the desire to do everything remotely is because there is no technical staff at the DR site. Absolutely the easiest way to transfer the LPAR definitions, user info, OSA ICC definitions and I/O definitions is via a USB drive The SSR frequently does this as part of the install. (The SSR must do this if the customer choses to replace the old HMC with the new HMC). Since the SSR knows how to do it, I'd reach out to the SSR and see if he could copy these definitions across for you. Alternately, if there is any staff at the DR site, could someone insert a USB drive into the zBC12 HMC? Then the information could be copied to the USB drive (via commands issued remotely). Then a local staff person could move the USB drive to the new HMC. Again, the information could be copied (imported in this case) via commands issued remotely. Data transfer complete. If it is absolutely imperative that the two HMCs talk to each other, then I recommend that you open a HW incident on the z14 to engage the SSR, then ask him to involve the z Top Gun. I am curious about the process your technical team wants to follow to transfer this information. Coul you obtain a copy of that process and document it here?

What happens when you type part of the command in the OMVS command line and end it with backslash (\)? Is there a panel in ishell for entering long commands? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Re: Remote access to Z14 ZR1 Support Element via HMC question
hi Mike Your partially right. The tech support people want to access the hmc remotely because they are located almost 80 kilometres from the datacenter so that makes sense. The zBC12 and the Z14 sit alongside each other in the DR datacenter. Both are on the same LAN segment and subnet. However if they cannot even access the hmc locally in the same LAN segment the remote access is not really an issue. I'm not a technical person in this area but I think the goal is to somehow replicate the settings from the z12 hmc to the z14 since we basically want to maintain the same iocds LPAR configuration logon credentials etc. There seems to be a reluctance to use a USB drive because they want all the HMC's on the network to replicate credentials and settings from more one master copy. Using a USB drive would bypass that process. But it was certainly allow us to get the new Z 14 up and running. They are in the datacenter again today and I have not had an update so far. But should they still encounter connection problems who is this Top Gun Z you speak of?

part of MVS commands are no RESPONSE from REXXCDM
Hi all We issue a lot of mvs commands ( RO *all,D U,x) by REXXCMD(REXX program) We found there arejust part of this commands responsed. Is there any way to solve this problem? increase the time interval between each command? or use PGM=SDSF? Any thoughts/comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thanks a lot!

part of TSO commands are no RESPONSE from PGM=IKJEFT01
Hi all
We issue a lot of TSO commands ( XQUERY NP2XRE DATASET('XXX.TST')
DISP(MOD) VOLUME(BJ2817) DETAIL )
by PGM=IKJEFT01 .The sample is blow:
//S1EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,REGION=0M
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD *
XQUERY NP2XRE DATASET('XXX.TST') DISP(MOD) VOLUME(BJ2817) DETAIL
XQUERY NP2XRE DATASET('xxx.TST') DISP(MOD) VOLUME(BJ2897) DETAIL
XQUERY NP2XRF DATASET('xxx.TST') DISP(MOD) VOLUME(BJ2917) DETAIL
We found there are just part of this commands responsed.
Any thoughts/comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Best Regards,
Jason Cai
