Tape volume catalogs are described in DFSMS OAM Planning, Installation, and

"tapehlq" parm in IGGCATxx

2015-11-19 Thread Bonno, Tuco
this is re: z/os 2.2  
can anybody throw some light on the USAGE of the "tapehlq" parm in IGGCATxx?
and please, nobody say "it specifies the hlq for a tape volume catalog" [and, 
btw, the default is SYS1]  -- i have made an effort here, consulted the 2.2 
init & tuna REFERENCE ,   even searched in ibm's "info center" as well as in 
their "knowledge center"  AND  even looked the 2.2 init and tuning GUIDE [when 
all else fails, read the intstructions]
 – got nothing.
the parameter does NOT exist in z/os 1.13 – so what's its purpose? the 
INTENTION behind it?   HOW do you use it?

TIA !!

Re: FW: valid ftp address

2015-03-13 Thread Bonno, Tuco
Well, ftp.emea.ibm.com is a valid address for FTP and //ftp.emea.ibm.com is a 
valid URL for your browser, but ftp.emea.ibm.comftp://ftp.emea.ibm.com is 
neither.
   believe me, that  ( the string beginning w/ 'ftp'  and INCLUDING ftp 
  and ending with  ''  )  is NOT how it went out when i posted *TO* 
 the listserver  ; that's NOT what shows in my 'sent' box here ..

We had the same issue in one of our SRs in December and got this for a reply:

Our apologies, the new process is to use the following FTP server   
instead of ftp.emea.ibm.com:

ftp.ecurep.ibm.com  

Some of the IBM technotes indicated that (such as   
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21683275), but there   
are probably some of the IBM docs on the web that haven't been updated. 
If you refer to specific document that you follow for uploads to IBM,   
please let me know, so I will try to address the problem there, instead 
of you remembering the new ftp site.

That new address worked for us.

There was something wrong with TCP/IP on the sysprog test lpar at the time and 
it looked like java was hanging.

But newer releases of java did away with the TCP/IP access.

-fullversion does NOT give all the info that -version does, in spite of the 
name.
There is something wrong with your java or  system.
Try getting the 64 bit version and install it without SMPE.

When I had the TCP/IP problem I could not ping the lpar ip address.
Go to ISPF option 1.6 and enter ping  LPAR.IP.ADDR But that was for an old

Also, try java -fullversion
That might work even if -verion does not but does not give all the info..

Also try 64 bit version of java if running 32 bit and vice verse.

I  had this problem a while ago with an older version of java that was going

There was something wrong with TCP/IP on the sysprog test lpar at the time and 
it looked like java was hanging.

But newer releases of java did away with the TCP/IP access.

yeah, now you're talking:  and there's a technical term for it too:  COGNITIVE 
LOCKOUT RAGE == just when you've finally mastered all the ins-and-outs of some 
system, some f^*%$ clown changes it all (and of course, it's ALWAYS under the 
guise of making it better) and you have to start learning new tricks all over

there's another word in this context i like too:  the German term

 The 2014 VM Workshop, June 26-28 2014 will be conducted at North 
 Carolina AT State University, Greensboro NC


 A Guaranteed Registration deadline is hard-coded as 11:59 PM Friday 
 May 30, 2014 due to NC AT requirements for dorm room setup and, 
 manufacturer Polo Shirt and T-Shirt production deadlines.  All paid 
 registrations before that deadline are guaranteed to receive:
 - one no-charge embroidered 2014 VM Polo Shirt (for regular attendees, 
 plus any added purchases),
 - one no-charge 2014 VM Workshop T-shirt (for students, plus any added 
 purchases),
 - a reserved dorm room (for those who paid for dorm 'nights' - single 
 rooms are sold out: you'll be paired up with a roommate of the same 
 gender),
 - an Aggie debit card pre-loaded with $65 for convenient FOOD 
 purchases in the campus cafeteria,
 - all that above will be available at the VM Workshop registration 
 table beginning Thursday morning.
 Registrations will still be accepted after 11:59 PM Friday May 30, but 
 after that time no dorm reservations can be accepted, and shirts and 
 Aggie debit cards will be available on a best-effort basis after 
 Guaranteed Registrations have been processed.





 WHO:

 z/VM, and Linux on System z Friends



 WHAT:

 Location, travel, lodging from dorm rooms ($50/night/bed) up to nearby 
 hotels, travel hints, sponsor information, and registration details for the
 2013 VM Workshop have all been posted to:   http://www.vmworkshop.org/2014

 Session agenda information will be available on the web site in early 
 June, following the close of Session Submissions at 11:59 PM on May 30.



 WHERE:

 North Carolina AT State University, Greensboro NC



 WHEN:

 SESSION DATES: From Thursday morning JUNE 26 until about 3PM (or so) 
 Saturday JUNE 28.

 Choose from multiple concurrent presentations packed full of 
 up-to-the-minute technical sessions for all expertise levels of z/VM, 
 and Linux on System z, and from Hands-On Labs including:

 - z/VM 6.3.0 Installation or Migration (your choice),

 -'Linux on System z' Installation (SLES or Redhat, your choice),

 - z/VM BFS and SFS Administration (Byte File System and Shared File 
 System), and

 - more hands-on labs as they are submitted.

 Wednesday June 25 is reserved for VM Workshop Volunteer Committee site 
 preparation and lab setup, if you are interested in joining just send 
 me an e-mail asking to join.



 WHY:

 Previous VM Workshops have been referred to by the small-minded as: 'a 
 large number of system programmers with some limited adult 
 supervision' (do you really want to miss this!??).  Expect another 
 wonderful up close and personal workshop with great content and 
 terrific camaraderie.  Come to meet VM old-timers... and *future* z/VM 
 old-timers while learning the latest technical z/VM and 'Linux on 
 System z' details.  Don't know where to start with Linux on System z?  This 
 is a great place to start!



 PRICE:

 STILL UNCHANGED from the previous three years, ** ONLY $100 per 
 attendee**, optional dorm rooms with full linens are available for 
 $50/night/bed.  This is the best bargain out there for z/VM and 'Linux 
 on System z' education, and is quite reasonable for anyone paying 
 their own way.  Parking is available on-site for $6 per day.



 Regular attendees and sponsor attendees: The $100 registration fee for 
 regular attendees includes: access to all sessions and hands-on labs, 
 a snazzy 2014 VM Workshop polo shirt (not just a cheap T-shirt like 
 those high-priced conferences), a Gala Dinner Reception on Thursday 
 evening, and... attendees will be provided with an NC AT Aggie 
 debit card loaded with $65 to purchase other meals and snacks on campus.



 Full-time Students: A $10 registration fee includes: access to all 
 sessions and hands-on labs, a 2014 VM Workshop T-shirt (sure to become 
 a campus must have), and optional ($15) attendance at the Gala 
 Dinner Reception on Thursday evening.



 Spouse attendees: A $0 registration fee provides: an optional means of 
 purchasing a dorm room bed ($50/night/bed), and/or attendance at the 
 Gala Dinner Reception on Thursday evening ($20).



 HOW:

 Registration is now LIVE, please check it out

I am curious about the mainframes (z/9 z/10 z/196) local waxing/waning here in
Columbia SC. BlueCross  and BlueShield of SC is one of the larger z/196  non 
federal
government shops in the US (somewhere in top 10%). Then there is CSC at 
Blythewood,
AFAIK. And there is the IT-oLogy consortium (Google it), but its focus seems 
much
broader than MF or SC. The SC state Budget and Control shop still has a z/10 or 
above,
again AFAIK, as I suppose does SCANA but I was told that the University of SC 
was
moving away from MF toward other technologies. This in itself is a real 
disappointment,
since if all the above are still going strong there should be future local 
opportunities.

Anyone here in  Columbia SC or nearby on a z box, moving toward or away?

 We still keep the Messages and Codes extended shelf with ALS indexed

 Obviously this affects zVM and zVSE as well.

Hello everyone ,


Is there a different way to come out of the below situation other than a cold 
start of JES2

*$HASP050 JES2 RESOURCE SHORTAGE OF TGS - 100 % UTILIZATION REACHED *

Recently , we ended up in a situation where nobody could logon to the system , 
and when tried to purge the jobs from console ,it didnt work either . We are 
currently tuning the JESPARMS and setting up exits to avoid such issues in 
future . But i was wondering if there was anything else we could have done when 
the issue really happened .


Unfortunately , we didnt have spare spool volumes to start and i felt that
JES2 was not accepting any commands at that point of time . Any thoughts ??

Thanks in Advance ,

Re: Issue with JES SPOOL

I tried this one time.  it had to match the spool name prefix.

/s/ tuco bonno; 
Graduate, College of Conflict Management;
University of SouthEast Asia;
I partied on the Ho Chi Minh Trail - tiến lên !! 






  extracted from original post:

The $S SPOOL command has the ability to allocate a new space
$sspl(spool7),space=(cyl,100)
$HASP893 VOLUME(SPOOL7) STATUS=INACTIVE,COMMAND=(START)
$HASP646 1. PERCENT SPOOL UTILIZATION
$HASP423 SPOOL7 IS BEING FORMATTED
$HASP630 VOLUME SPOOL7 ACTIVE 0 PERCENT UTILIZATION
JES2 starts spool volume SPOOL7. If SPOOL7 is a new volume, a 100 cylinder 
sized data set is allocated. However, if SPOOL7 is already defined to JES2, the 
command fails and the HASP003 error message is issued.

Now, what I do not know is if the spool volume name being used has to match the 
SPOOL Name prefix.

Maybe someone can clarify that. Because if you are in a 100% TGS condition, can 
you just add a spool volume without it matching the spool volume names?
That would allow for any empty spare volume being used.

 No.   I in fact regret the lingering influence of 17th-century

 polite society.  Preoccupation with avoiding four-letter words in

 sounding like a medical textbook or a guttersnipe in talking about 
 the obvious topics is disagreeable.
 But I have a fairly clear recollection (but can't find in the archives 
 here; perhaps it was ASSEMBLER-LIST) of an instance where you 
 chastised a writer who failed to bowdlerize some content.
 
 (Perhaps, but not exactly, ASSEMBLER-LIST, 2012-02-12, wherein you

 However, David was playing not on your puritanism, but on your

 Chapter 1:  Introduction   for all users
 Chapter 2:  General migration actionsfor all users
 Chapter 3:  Migration from z/OS R13 for R13 - V2.1 users
 Chapter 4:  Migration from z/OS R12 for R12 - V2.1 users 
 
 R13-V2R1 :  Read Chapters 1, 2, and 3.  Skip Chapter 4.

maintain, distribute multiple copies same-named ZFS files

2012-10-26 Thread Bonno, Tuco
operating environment here is all z/os 1.13
how am i suppsed to clone and DISTRIBUTE (with emphasis on *distribute*) zfs 
files?
CURRENTLY, I have a situation where 6 lpars, 3 production and 3 test, all share 
the same master catalog.  In that master catalog, the entry for OMVS.ROOT reads 
as follows, (i.a.,) :   volser   hfsv1 ;and there are 6 3390s out 
there, one for each lpar, each of which has a copy of OMVS.ROOT on it.  
Currently, each such omvs.root is an HFS file.  Whenever any lpar is ipled, the 
value of hfsv1 is set bmo of an entry in an appropriate IEASYM-- in an 
appropriate PARMLIB, and each lpar runs with its own copy of the root,  called 
 OMVS.ROOT .
whenever i have a NEW COPY of omvs.root that needs to be distributed, i (1) 
drain the 3 test lpars; (2) go to the pack in each test lpar whcih contains  
omvs.root and do a DELETE/NOSCRATCH  for the omvs.root on that pack ; (3)  
from a 7th lpar, i copy the new version of omvs.root to the pack in each test 
lpar which is supposed to have a copy of omvs.root on it, using a 
DISP=(NEW,KEEP).  Later on, those 3 test lpars are ipled as production lpars. 
  in this methodology, the entry in the master catalog is never touched, and 
nothing in any of the 3 production lpars is ever impacted by whatever i may be 
doing in any test lpar.  (This g.p. methodology is how i maintain ALL the o/s 
image dsn-s)  (and, btw, i use this methodology to distribute a couple DOZEN 
omvs/unix-system-services dsn-s, not just omvs.root)

the recent emphasis from ibm is, has been, to convert one's HFS files to ZFS.

so, now, given that zfs files are really vsam files,  (1) how does one maintain 
multiple copies of zfs files off of one master catalog, given that you can't 
catalog vsam files using symbolic values in the catalog entry ;  (2) next, 
assuming that there is some method -- unknown to me at the present moment -- to 
maintain multiple copes of identically-named vsam files off of one catalog , 
how do i go about distributing new copies of zfs files, using my methodology 
that I described above?  First of all, if I follow the above-described 
scenario, the first time i try to delete a zfs file (a vsam file, now) , isn't 
that going to also erase the catalog entry for it  (and wreak some havoc for 
the remaining 5 lpars, which are also still using the catalog) ?   Second of 
all, there is/are the VVDS entries, something I need not bother myself about in 
my current methodology (b/c in that, no vsam files are involved) -- how do i 
keep them sync-ed up?   (3) i tried to consult several books about this , i.a., 
z/os distributed file service file system implementation , distributed file 
sevice zSeries file system Administration  and  volume 9, ABCs of system 
programming and z/FS reorganization tool , and i just can't get this to work 
, at least in the context of the methodology i currently use to distribute
omvs/unix-system-services  dsn-s.  Maybe i need to totally change my 
methodology?  EXACTLY how are other people doing this kind of thing?

TIA

the top of the very first screen I get a series of white “caution” and 
“warning” messages, e.g.,  (and it happens in just about every member I edit 
into, some combination[s] of the following) :

-CAUTION-  profile changed to NUMBER OFF from NUMBER ON STD. data does not have 
valid standard numbers
and/or
-CAUTION- profile changed to CAPS ON (from CAPS OFF) because the data does not 
contian any lower case characters
and/or
-Warning- the UNDO command is not available until you change your edit profile 
usind the command RECOVERY ON.
   and there are others as well 

I understand what these messages mean, and I know what to do to change the 
conditions they describe.  but I do NOT want to change the conditions they 
describe, e.g, re: the “warning” message, I do NOT want to change the edit 
profile back to RECOVERY ON.

What I DO want to do is to totally SUPPRESS all those white ‘cautions’ and 
‘warnings’ , so that they do not appear at all.
(yes, I know, a “RESET” command at the ‘command ===  ‘  will make them go 
away, but I’m getting tired of that; I’m editting in and out of dozens of pds-s 
a day, and I’m just tired of  it.  I want them simply not to appear at all.)

I have consulted (RTFM!!) the “ISPF Pannning and Customization” manual, as well 
as volumes 1 and 2 of “ISPF User’s Guide” to no avail.

Has anyone ever done this successfully? if so, how?
TIA

Subject: Re: healthCheck search

Hello All,
If you want the definitive way to see every IBM Health Check for z/OS health 
check that has been put into the service stream, you'll need to use the SMP/E 
FIXCAT IBM.Function.HealthChecker.   Of course, those that are introduced in a 
product's release will not have this FIXCAT, but it will tell you about the 
ones introduced (or associated with introductions) of a health check in the 
service stream.

Now, for the one at hand  - ZOSMIGV1R13_ZFS_FILESYS - the one I think of as the 
most important health check if you are migrating to z/OS R13!  Since this was a 
health check specifically written for z/OS migration (we know that because it 
starts with ZOSMIG), then you can look for more information about it in the 
z/OS Migration book.  (The IBM Health Checker for z/OS User's Guide does 
contain all the information about z/OS checks, and it really should have 
mentioned which APAR it was introduced in, but I'll do an RCF for that and get 
it fixed.)  The z/OS Migration book does contain the APAR number that 
introduced this check (OA35465).  It also says that this APAR applies to z/OS 
R11 and R12 - making sense, since this is for a migration to z/OS R13.

I did verify that the PTF for OA35465 (which was only one PTF since the zFS 
FMID is the same FMID for z/OS R11 and R12), has the FIXCAT for 
IBM.Function.HealthChecker as expected.  Also, there was a defect APAR written 
against this check with APAR OA36514.  That PTF also has the FIXCAT 
IBM.Function.HealthChecker as expected, since it is associated with a health 
check.  So, using the REPORT MISSINGFIX for IBM.Function.HealthChecker will 
work fine here.

Now, sometimes we happen to include migration health checks in the coexistence 
APARs for lower level releases.  This makes sense to do when you think about it 
- the health check goes back to the same releases that have coexistence for the 
release you are migrating to, and the health check is applicable there too.  
With this is mind, do not be alarmed if a PTF has both a FIXCAT for the 
migration health check (IBM.Function.HealthChecker) *AND* for coexistence 
(IBM.Coexistence.z/OS.V1R13).  When you do your REPORT MISSINGFIX for both 
these categories, you may be able to satisfy anything missing with a single 
PTF.I'm just adding this in, as some people may not know that a PTF can 
have multiple FIXCATs associated with it.  This doesn't change anything I've 
already said above.

I did just want to expand a little on Mark's sample SMP/E statements for using 
REPORT MISSINGFIX for verification of both coexistence and target system 
requirements...I suggest also adding IBM.Function.HealthChecker to that list, 
so that you can make sure when you have your coexistence PTFs installed on 
those lower level systems for migration, that you ALSO have the migration 
health checks installed in one fell swoop.  Just a little time saver.

healthCheck search

2012-07-20 Thread Bonno, Tuco
there is a HealthCheck called  zosmigv1r13_zfs_filesys  that I would like to 
install in my 1.11 system .
I know that new healthChecks are usualy distributed bmo ptf-s.
so I went to this site


https://www-304.ibm.com/ibmlink/sis/searchAparAndUsageLibSubmit.wss

and after signin blah blah blah
submitted a search on the search argument of  zosmigv1r13_zfs_filesys

all I got in return was a reference to a ptf which talks about an abend which 
can occur when you try to run that HealthCheck.

is there an UNEQUIVOCAL method for finding out which ptf introduced which 
HealthCheck??

thank you

variable FIXCAT report results

2012-07-10 Thread Bonno, Tuco
environment is z/os  1.11.  am ramping up to install 1.13.

when, in z/so 1.11,  I run the smp/e  report
REPORT  MISSINGFIX ZONES(MVST100)
 FIXCAT ( IBM.COEXISTENCE.Z/OS.V1R13 )  .

report all by itself  (asking for info for ONLY ibm.coexistence.z/os.v1r13 )

the SMPPUNCH output contains

SET BDY(MVST100)
APPLY CHECK SELECT (  ……
and a long list of ptf-s appears, NONE of which is commented out.
(and the list DOES include ua59383 and ua60054 as “good to go” )
this is good.

but when I do this:

FIXCAT ( IBM.COEXISTENCE.Z/OS.V1R13
 IBM.FUNCTION.HEALTHCHECKER ) .
then i get the same laundry list of ptf-s in the SMPPUNCH output …  BUT NOW, 
the followng two ptf-s are commented out:
  ua59383, and ua60054

I have investigated those two ptf-s by reading them in the smppts dataset, as 
well as by doing a ‘query’ on their respective SMPCSI info in the smp/e dialog. 
I cannot find any reason why the  “report mssingfix fixcat” process should give 
them as “good to go” in one context, and “not good to go” in the second context.

can anyone shed any light on this in general, or in particular (as regard these 
two particular ptf-s)?  how does smp/e make such a varying determination?   
what does it have at its disposal that I , manually, do not have ?

thank you.
