Lionel, 

Could it be that your PDF reader (or maybe the reader that Chrome wants to use) 
doesn't support PDFx files?  I usually use PDF-XChange, but it doesn't support 
PDFx files so I also got the text when I tried with it.  I installed Adobe 
reader and from File Explorer right-clicked and selected "Opened With", Adobe 
Reader and it worked fine.

I take it since you want (0) that you just want to read the member 
from the latest generation.

How about an IEBCOPY step where you specify GDGBASE(0) on 
INDD (or whatever) and select MEMBER to be unloaded to a 
temporary data set?

Re: TSO REXX -- find absolute generation # from relative? [EXTERNAL]

[Horne, Jim - James S]

Respectfully, I disagree, especially since you mention REXX.  Using the WORD 
function, parsing is a snap.  If word 1 is NONVSAM, word 3 is the dataset name. 
 I.e.,
If Word(line_read,1) = 'NONVSAM' THEN gdgent = WORD(line_read,3) ;

The last 'gdgent' filled in will be the last GDG.  How does it get simpler?  
It's pretty simple to make that look like your desired function - and without a 
lot of work.

absolute=RESGDG('basegdg(0)')

where "absolute" would have "basegdg.gv00" in it. So much simpler. Am I am

John, I would agree using the catalog interface is not fun.  Also I ran a quick 
test and I was wrong about using the (0) as part of the name.  I had to use 
ABC.XYZ.* to get any information back with the test code I had.  The output 
that came back was a list of all the datasets in the GDG base.

As long as you want to generate the JCL programmatically, look at using the TSO

probably won't get any messages from SMF when SMF sets your limit too low, by 
ignoring what is coded on your EXEC statement.

My test system works with SMFPRMxx parameter MEMLIMIT=350M.  My IZUSVR1 Proc

Re: Coupling Facility duplexed

[Jesse 1 Robinson]

As far as I know, DB2 was the only CF exploiter that developed and released the 
(enormous) code required for software duplexing. They did this essentially 
because system managed duplexing was delayed by IBM for a long time. System 
managed duplexing requires direct connection between (I)CFs so that structure 
updates can be 'mirrored' without intervention by exploiters. I do not consider 
DB2 (user managed) duplexing to answer affirmatively the question 'are my CFs 
duplexed?' 

Note that there can be multiple ICF LPARs within a single CEC. System managed 
duplexing can be implemented without cabling because connections are virtual. 
You would still see a reference to the 'other CF' in a D CF command.

We need to make sure if we are talking hardware duplexing or software 
(application) duplexing.  We let DB2 duplex its group buffer pools.  DB2 
handles/controls keeping the structures in each CF in sync.  In the policy we 
define DUPLEX(ENABLED) for the DB2 group buffer pools.  We do not have any 
hardware connections between our two CFs.  When I display our CFs I see "NO 
REMOTELY CONNECTED COUPLING FACILITY DATA AVAILABLE".  So if we need to take 
down a CF we don't have to move the group buffer pools from one CF to the 
other.  On the flip side because we don't connect the two CFs we do have to 
move some structures that don't support software duplexing from one CF to the 
other CF when we take one of them down.

Re: Coupling Facility duplexed [EXTERNAL]

[Feller, Paul]

We need to make sure if we are talking hardware duplexing or software 
(application) duplexing.  We let DB2 duplex its group buffer pools.  DB2 
handles/controls keeping the structures in each CF in sync.  In the policy we 
define DUPLEX(ENABLED) for the DB2 group buffer pools.  We do not have any 
hardware connections between our two CFs.  When I display our CFs I see "NO 
REMOTELY CONNECTED COUPLING FACILITY DATA AVAILABLE".  So if we need to take 
down a CF we don't have to move the group buffer pools from one CF to the 
other.  On the flip side because we don't connect the two CFs we do have to 
move some structures that don't support software duplexing from one CF to the 
other CF when we take one of them down.


Thanks..

The advantage of the .pdx is that it is a full index of the collection so that 
doing a search is significantly faster than doing a search of all the pdf's in 
the folder which requires opening each to search. 

Btw. Using Firefox I was prompted to define a file association, much like with 
Windows, on how to handle the .pdx and that worked great.  Would be nice if 
there was a way in Chrome to do that.

Re: Coupling Facility duplexed

[Jesse 1 Robinson]

It's been many a year since we moved to duplexing, by which I mean 'system 
managed duplexing'. Assuming that you are at an appropriate hardware and CF 
code level, you don't define duplex capability. It's just there. . There is no 
'hardware definition' for duplexing. Duplexing is defined in the CFRM policy 
for structures that are to be duplexed. If the active policy specifies 
duplexing for any structure, then that structure is duplexed to the CF named in 
the policy. Once enabled in a policy, duplexing can be turned off or on via the 
OS command SETXCF 

So to answer OP's question, How can I tell?, look at the policy definition(s). 
Also D XCF,STR for any or all structures.

Classic data sets, or zFS, or DB2, or other (specify).  And there remains

Security/integrity concerns.  Will users be able to log on to Linux
with RACF credentials and access all their z/OS resources?  Classic
PDS serialization is cast in stone; NFS obeys ISPF's ENQ rules.

Adding "plain text" files to CMS MACLIB

[Thomas David Rivers]

So...

The CMS MACLIB GEN/ADD command seems to require that the file
being added to the maclib be an ASM macro (and have the proper MACRO
statements in it.)

Is there a way to just add a plain text file to a MACLIB?  I gather there
has to be some approach that accomplishes this because I have some
maclibs here that have that... but, I'm not sure what the "magic" is.

Anyone recall how to do that?

   - Thanks! -

Re: getting a list of FMIDS and the product description

(A day late and a dollar short...)

My nifty little USS SMP query tool can get you the necessary bits of 
information from the CSI, 
but there is Some Assembly Required to pull it together into a nice report 
(which I will not do  
here, but if I had to, would use some combination of sed and awk). 

That tool is here:  https://github.com/zorts/smpapi

Here are the queries and their output (on my system).

Obtaining the user certificate from Shopz is a one time event... well, 
once a year.  Once you have a certificate, you don't need to interact 
with Shopz again to order and download PTFs using SMP/E.

Chuck Norris never uses CHECK when he applies PTFs.

Correct - it will open the html file with no problem - but that isn't the

Open the Chrome index in your  z/OS 2.4 folder.
Chrome will not find the file.
Change the current URL in Chrome to point to your z/Os 2.4 folder on your hard 
drive.
It will open the Index.html  in your chrome browser.
Works for me.

The pdx is a true index to the collection whereas the index.html is really a 
list of pubs.

Keep in mind there are two versions of the entire collection: One is indexed by 
Adobe with a .pdx; the other has an index.html file.  As best as I can tell, 
that's the only difference, and if it were up to me, I think I'd just combine 
the two.  However, the .pdx does seem to add a couple hundred pounds to the 
file.

We will be doing SFTP.  IBM is installing and we will be working with them to 
implement. We just got Connect:Direct about 1.5 years ago. We are getting 
SFG/SI, SSP, SEAS and CC.  Yes, there sure are "a lot of pieces."

It's extremely powerful but oh so onerous to install, maintain, and administer. 
 They will push implementation services, and you will wish you'd bought them 
before it's over if you go it on your own.

What are you planning on doing with it?  If it is just MFT, I would highly 
recommend taking a good hard look at MOVEit first (unless you have a bunch of 
Connect:Direct you have to deal with, since SI/SFG does come with CDSA; you may 
end up not having much choice).

Keep in mind too that you won't need only SFG/SI.  You will need SSP and SEAS 
(if you want to do SFTP; that's another joy) as well.  And you probably will 
want CC.  There are other pieces that have to be installed and configured on 
separate servers (SSPcm and Perimeter Server), but they are part of SSP.  In 
short, there are a lot of pieces.

One more thing, IBM just recently outsourced support and development (I think) 
of the suite to Syncsort, if that sways you either way.

Re: Using Google Chrome to open IBM z/OS 2.4 Library Index ???

Open the Chrome index in your  z/OS 2.4 folder.
Chrome will not find the file.
Change the current URL in Chrome to point to your z/Os 2.4 folder on your
hard drive.
It will open the Index.html  in your chrome browser.
Works for me.

Re: Friday!

[Carmen Vitullo]

:) yup toggle switches, and you had to read the display (lights), interpret, to 
make sure the system was ready to read your card program. 


My senior project was to re write the attendance program in RPG, to print the 
class name from the card input (each class's student had a 5081 card) with the 
student name and class code, I was to list each student that was absent in each 
class, tally the total from each class and the percentage of students absent, 
then a total for the school, Initially I kept a internal table class code to 
class name, that changed quickly when I blew core in the assembly, we had an 
outstanding 8k of storage to work with :) 
the other part of the project was to replicate this program on the 405 
accounting machine's wiring board, for DR purposes ! 
ah school !

Re: What's the intent of the "LOAD AND ZERO RIGHTMOST BYTE" instruction?

[Peter Relson]

I don't know the answer, but the usual answer is:
because either the Java team or the compiler team found something 
beneficial to having it.

The other CF is showing similar information.

I remember when disk were removable and an operator made the mistake of

Re: Linux address space on z/OS 2.4

[Martin Packer]

Three I can think of straightway:

1) No Linux sysproging
2) WLM workload management
3) Proximity to the data

I think it’s going to be VERY interesting to see what architectures and
operational regimes people come up with.

Cheers, Martin

z/OSMF problem

[Mike Shorkend]

Hi
I successfully configured z/OSMF on a sandbox system.
Now I am trying to get it to work in a development environment and when I
start the server I am getting

JVMDUMP039I Processing dump event "systhrow", detail "java/lang/
OutOfMemoryError" at 2019/07/25 06:35:29 - please wait.
JVMDUMP032I JVM requested System dump using
'DIZUSVR.JVM.IZUSVR1.D190725.T063529.X' in response to an event

IEATDUMP in progress with options
SDATA=(LPA,GRSQ,LSQA,NUC,PSA,RGN,SQA,SUM,SWA,TRT)

IEATDUMP success for DSN='DIZUSVR.JVM.IZUSVR1.D190725.T063529.X'

After that there are a whole bunch of dumps written, threads failing to
create etc.

I am not sure why this would be different to the sandbox(which is much
smaller in real storage and has no ZIIPS) Obviously I need to increase the
memory size , but how do you tell the zOSMF JVM to do that?


z/OS 2.2

Any ideas?

Thanks

Mike

Hi Sue,

I was talking in general, I am sure if I saw it in IBM publications.
