If the tape drives are defined with AutoSwich attribute, you can vary online them from multiple MVSes at a time.

Yes. If the PCHID has two ports, then you specify port 0 or 1 in the OAT. But be careful. On a z9, I think you have OSA-Express2. All of the PCHIDs are single port. There are multiple PCHIDs on a *card*, but each PCHID has only one port (port 0). The OSA-Express Customer's Guide and Reference has pictures. The HMC/SE will also tell you what type of card you have. 2) Can OSA-ICC 3270 sessions and OSE ports share a OSA Physical port? Should these have separate Physical ports? You cannot share ports between OSE and OSC. The decision for OSE or OSC is at the PCHID level. 3) Where is the physical port of the OSA-ICC session set?

Re: 3592 hardware compression
Thank you for all adivce. I know the 3490 drive is the compression used by IDRC. However, the 3592 appeared to have a different compressed algorithm. So I asked if any 3592 drives is compatible. See the bellow: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ts3500-tape-library?topic=drives-3592-tape Data compression The 3592 tape drives use the data-compression method known as streaming lossless data compression algorithm. The compression logic for TS1120 and later tape drives operates at more than twice the overall transfer rates of the 3592 J1A tape drive.

Gentlemen, Drive compression is *unpredictable* unless you know data to be written. The true is same data on same drive will be compressed with same ratio. BTDT. I spend a lot of time playing with compression ratios and preparing data compressible 3:1, 6:1, 1:1, etc. Long time ago I've got F37 abend, because my tape dataset exceeded 6TB - but it was on JA tape in J1A drive. Native capacity is 300GB, so I got over 20:1. I don't know exact value, because RMM was unable to record such big numbers - that was a reason of F37. 3:1 is marketing value, which is more or less based on typical data. However "typical" is not well defined, and you may not know how much typical is your dataset. Remark: We know marketing 3:1 value. There is another one: speed. Is your drive capable to write 360MB/s? Great, but you actual throughput will be lower. Nominal value is true for big blocksize *and* proper compression ratio, usually nominal one. Worse compression (i.e. 1:1) mean worse throughput, usually you will get same compressed stream, so in case of 1:1 it would be 3 times worse. Better compression ...can be even worse, much worse! Very good compression means very little compressed stream. Tape drive can slow down, there are several gears (speeds), but when the stream is not enough to satisfy the lowest gear the data buffer is exhausted, drive stops, rewinds a little and starts again. Vry slow. Of course the above covers real tape drives only, so it is rather historical. -- Radoslaw Skorupka (looking for new job) Lodz, Poland -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
3592 hardware compression
Hello, I have questions for 3592's hardware compression. There is a tape where a DFDSS dump was created on a 3592 drive (TS1130) with the COMPACT feature enabled. Q1. Can I read this tape on another 3592 drive (such as TS1130 or TS1140)? Are the 3592 hardware compressions compatible? Q2. If I copy with DITTO's tape to tape or COPYDUMP from 3592 drive to another tape drive (hardware compression does not supported), will the hardware compression be uncompressed?

Re: Printing GTF trace?
Hello Tony, Here is GTF trace print JCL: a) You need to modify it for your environment (DSN, VOLUME, etc...). b) INPUT DD of the IKJEFT01 step specifies the GTF trace file. This sample trace file is tape file. c) The report is output to the JES spool,if you need to report to disk. Change the SYSTSPRT DD card to VBA datasets. d) Specify your required trace with the GTF xxx command on SYSTSIN DD card. This sample is CCW trace. //GTFPRINT JOB CLASS=A //ST1 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSINDD * DEFINE CLUSTER(NAME(KOBA.IPCS.DIR) VOLUME(WORK01)) - DATA(NAME(KOBA.IPCS.DIR.DATA) CYL(1 1) KEYS(128 0) - CISZ(X'1000') ) - INDEX(NAME(KOBA.IPCS.DIR.INDEX) TRK(1 1) ) /* //IPCSEXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,DYNAMNBR=20 //IPCSDDIR DD DSN=KOBA.IPCS.DIR,DISP=SHR //***IPCSPARM DD DSN= //INPUTDD DSN=SYS1.TRACE,DISP=SHR,VOL=SER=GTRACE,UNIT=/4000, // LABEL=(1,SL,EXPDT=98000) //SYSPROC DD DSN=SYS1.SBLSCLI0,DISP=SHR //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSTSIN DD * IPCSDDIR 'KOBA.IPCS.DIR' IPCS NOPARM SETDEF DDNAME(INPUT) NOCONFIRM SETDEF LIST GTF CCW END /* //STLAST EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSINDD * DELETE (KOBA.IPCS.DIR) /* I hope this help.
