What Kees has written is correct. My rule of thumb is the faster the CP the 
lower the velocity. With CPU upgrades I typically revise the velocity down.
It would help us if you would post a snapshot of the SUM report in RMF III, 
then we have all the info and not just a tiny bit and we can help you more 
accuately.

Grrr...

When I first used SPF, circa 1980, I wrote a few personal panels, all
RECFM=VB.  I saw no need to make everything look like cards; it
wasn't my background.  And, IIRC, VB was the mode for SPF.  Then
ISPF intruded, requiring everything FB-80.  I needed to rewrite my
(few) panels.  I considered it a step backwards.

(BTW, PDS can be LRECL<>80, and SYSEXEC can be LRECL<>80.)

You didn't read the installation doc Wayne ;)

There is an install script that installs into PDS data sets. From a 
command shell in the zigi installation directory run the following command:


./install.sh

Re: Manuals for CA-VOLLIE?

[Wayne Bickerdike]

That's a blast from the past.
It does run as a CICS transaction (Normally OLLE).

It is 1000% better than the IBM VSE offering (name escapes me).

In architecture it's not unlike ROSCOE, runs very lean and mean. All
the members are contained within a single VSAM cluster which is
formatted and then has 3 char lib prefixes and 8 char names similar to
a PDS. eg JCL.MASTJOB1.

It also has a crude form of security, defined in a macro assembler
module. This determines what you can see and do. A very naughty
programmer substituted his own version and when we found out, I
substituted yet another module that blasted ***violation*** on the
console. The guy in question (Kevin Parker where are you now?) crapped
his pants when he realised he'd been rumbled. Had an entertaining
dressing down meeting with him.

>From memory, I belive you use the "l" command (list) to bring up a
member in an editor panel.

It has a submit command (I think sub?) and has access to the Power
spool to fetch output.

It's been 30 years since I last saw Vollie :)

I've been using this for ages, and in case you've never heard of it:

MACRO_MSG Set or Query the Macro Message switch

The MACRO_MSG assignment statement sets or retrieves the value of the
macro_msg switch, which controls whether macro processing delivers ISPF
messages to the macro.

Syntax

 >>--ISREDIT--(varname)-- = --MACRO_MSG--><

  +-ON--+
 >>--ISREDIT--MACRO_MSG-- = --+-+><
  +-OFF-+

varname The name of a variable containing the setting of MACRO_MSG.

ON  ISPF messages generated by macro commands are formatted.
OFF ISPF messages are not formatted.

Description

The MACRO_MSG assignment statement sets a switch for subsequent macro
processing. When set ON, any message that is generated by a macro command
is formatted and made available in variables in ZEDILMSG, ZEDISMSG, and
ZEDMSGNO.

This is a diagnostic switch and should only be used to extract messages as
required. Macros that perform operations on many edit lines may experience
a performance degradation if this switch is ON.

Return codes

0   Normal completion
20  Severe error

I now wanted to use it to get at the message set by the "COMPARE" command, as 
that just returns RC=0, no matter (differences or no differences) what, but in 
this case all three above mentioned variables come back as 8-character blank 
strings. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

programs etc.

No VM in this installation. VOLLIE seems to be a CICS transaction.

Is there a manual for CA-VOLLIE, which can be shared, for example PDF
format?
No match when using the well-known search engines.

Thanks and regards

I haven't seen the name VOLLIE in many years. Perhaps the product has 
been renamed?


Searching Broadcom's site for VOLLIE gets 23 hits, but none of them have 
VOLLIE in the title.

Manuals for CA-VOLLIE?

[Bernd Oppolzer]

In my new project assignment, I have to use a tool called VOLLIE (from 
CA), which is used to modify (edit)
VSE libraries and prepare compile and test jobs for VSE and COBOL-CICS 
programs etc.

Peter,

Whoever you're paying the  to install the z15 should provide you 
their plan.

"macro_msg" edit macro command not working for "COMPARE" command?

[Robert Prins]

I've been using this for ages, and in case you've never heard of it:

MACRO_MSG Set or Query the Macro Message switch

The MACRO_MSG assignment statement sets or retrieves the value of the
macro_msg switch, which controls whether macro processing delivers ISPF
messages to the macro.

Syntax

>>--ISREDIT--(varname)-- = --MACRO_MSG--><

 +-ON--+
>>--ISREDIT--MACRO_MSG-- = --+-+><
 +-OFF-+

varname The name of a variable containing the setting of MACRO_MSG.

ON  ISPF messages generated by macro commands are formatted.
OFF ISPF messages are not formatted.

Description

The MACRO_MSG assignment statement sets a switch for subsequent macro
processing. When set ON, any message that is generated by a macro command
is formatted and made available in variables in ZEDILMSG, ZEDISMSG, and
ZEDMSGNO.

This is a diagnostic switch and should only be used to extract messages as
required. Macros that perform operations on many edit lines may experience
a performance degradation if this switch is ON.

Return codes

0   Normal completion
20  Severe error

I now wanted to use it to get at the message set by the "COMPARE" command, as 
that just returns RC=0, no matter (differences or no differences) what, but in 
this case all three above mentioned variables come back as 8-character blank 
strings. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?


Replies please to IBM-MAIN only (I cross-posted this also to ISPF-L)

Re: WLM Guidance/Suggestions ! ! !

[Vernooij, Kees (ITOP NM) - KLM]

Your problem is probably caused by the faster CPs, combined with the definition 
of Velocity.
- Velocity in fact means that a job receives nn% of what it wants. CPU hungry 
jobs will therefor get much CPU if their imp os high enough.
- On the 5 CP machine, the jobs probably did not 'monopolize' all the engines, 
leaving room for other jobs, while on the 2 CP machine they are now able to 
monopolize it, leaving nothing for other jobs.

If the jobs are important, you can start with keeping their imp, but lowering 
their velocity, until they receive what you want them to, leaving capacity for 
other jobs.

Kees.

Subject: WLM Guidance/Suggestions ! ! !

I have recently replace an IBM-2828 that had 5 GP's to a newer model machine 
IBM-3907-ZR1 with only 2 GP's.
Does anyone know of a guide or paper or something that might have some things 
to look at or modify when reducing the number of GP's.
I have 2 classes of service for my batch jobs.One runs with a velocity and 
importance of "2".   This is a grouping we have called our
critical path jobs that are time sensitive and they must run.Then I have 
another class that runs with a velocity, but has an importance of "3".
This grouping is for jobs that are not time sensitive, but they do need to run 
and get service.

The behavior that I am seeing is that the class that has the IMP-2 dominates 
the box until they are finished.  The other jobs will sit in the
initiator for 30mins up to an hour and I never see any service being consumed.  
 Then once the IMP-2 jobs finish, then the other jobs
will take off and get service.

My goal is to have the IMP-2 take 80-90%, but give the IMP-3 a small chunk of 
service.   The only way that I have been able to come close
is to make both classes the same importance level.

Any thoughts, documents, white papers, experiences with dealing with the 
reduction of GP's would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Phases of Project in Mainframe

[Parwez Hamid]

This will differ for each customer and there will be a number of dependencies. 
Key phases should cover (each topic will have its on subtasks):

1) Physical Planning (physical planning/power/space/channel cabling/network 
connectivity/HMCs etc etc)
2) Operating System levels etc
3) Capacity Planning. LPAR planning/configuration
4) ISV Software/products levels
5) Applications
6) DR/Backup
7) Operations procedures

I am sure there are other tasks and these will again depend on the experience 
and skill level of those who are doing the 'installation of or migration to the 
z15'

A combination of the the following:

z15 Redbook (SG24-8860) and the z15 Installation Manual for Physical Planning 
(GC28-7002) may help you in creating a Project Plan.

Parwez Hamid​
