[External Email: Use caution with links and attachments]

Hi List,
I have been given the task of cleaning up unused software.
Part of that is identifying which CLISTs/Execs are not being used.

Can someone please suggest a way to do this?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
David

Chris,

Please don't hit me for this, but RPGII with it's *auto feature can produce 
multi-level reports with very little code. And, there are still people that 
know how to write RPGII, although most of them will be in VSE shops were it is 
still used a lot. And, it's cheap.

Hi Chris,

I know nothing about this company/software and their claim,  we're in the same 
boat and I found them while researching.  I haven't tried their software yet.

Here's their claim:

 Z-Writer is the quick-code utility for z/OS mainframes. Its native syntax is 
very similar to competing quick-code tools such as DYL-280, Easytrieve, Quikjob 
and CA-Earl. If you are using one of those programs, you'll be able to run your 
existing programs on Z-Writer with only minor changes.

And with our ZWDYL interface, you can actually run all your existing DYL-280 
(VISION:Results) program without any changes to either the program code or the 
JCL. Our ZWQUIK interface (beta) lets you do the same thing for your Quikjob 
(VISION:Report) programs.

The company is called Pacific Systems Group and their website is 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.pacsys.com__;!!IfVdvpvC!CRxRrdvGWX-0nF0bVEqPXCKpp-epQtvKj6gCX4cYLqYFJPS6BQu-VN7SsHFfHy0Q$
 .   Let me know if you check it out and how they work for you.  I will say I 
checked pricing and at least at this point in time for us, their price isn't 
much less than the CA products we're looking to replace.

Rex

Have you tried simply transmitting the PDF as BINARY?

What format are the spreadsheets:
o .csv?
o .xlsx?
o other (specify)?

If .csv, try:
iconv -f IBM-420 -t UTF-8 csv.utf-8
echo $?
... then transfer the converted .csv in BINARY to your desktop and open it.

The doc suggests the .ucm are for code page translation.  All three bear IBM

SAN switch is another name for director.
Usually bigger devices are called directors, while smaller (pizza box) are 
switches.
Vast majority of devices come from single source: Brocade, which is now part of 
Broadcom. Logo on the chassis can be EMC, Dell, IBM, HP, etc.
but it is still same device.
There is also Cisco equipment, but the marketshare is approx. 10-15%.

So, you have director or switch. Now you have to configure it to FICON.
It can require change of internal software called FOS. Not every FOS version is 
FICON approved.

Of course someone has to work with the switch/director configuration, cabling, 
HCD, etc.

We've got it!
"when it was connected to another mainframe, but it has it now"
So something has changed. This is the most likely moment for error.
Now it's time for investigation - what cable is new, what is old, what plug was

Its not maintained anymore but works pretty well. I have used it to extract SMF 
data and data from z/OS logs.But you need to do the programming, its just an 
API to create a workbook and add data to it and change parameters like cell 
data type, size, font. Formulas can also be added to the sheets.I used the jzos 
record builder to create Java record classes from Assembler dsecs, but the

the rdw is needed to have the record lengths.

 I worked for a company 30 years ago that at the time was part of the largest 
fraud in corporate history. The CEO and executives had 2 sets of books. The 
auditors were actively involved with the fraud. Anyone who has been around for 
a few decades remembers that a number of the big 6 auditing firms were involved 
with fraudulent corporate activities. The company was Phar Mor. The CEO was 
Mickey Monus who went to prison for 10 years. The auditing firm was Coopers and 
Lybrand. I worked with some of the people from Deloite who came in to help 
clean up the bankruptcy that ensued from the fraud. I ran reports using 
Easytrieve to tally up the almost 500 million in debt we had no intention of 
paying. Many of the "auditors" who were running around the corporate office 
like rats in a sinking ship were only there to extract $200 an hour from the 
Debtor in Possession financing that bankrupt companies acquire. The one 
"auditor" I worked with was barely out of college and was computer illiterate. 
Her accounting skills were limited as well.

Explanation: I should say *some* auditors are so uneducated. Or "there are such 
auditors". There are also reasonable auditor, and even with very small or none 
mainframe knowledge they may do quite good job.
Of course it depends on who's paying for the audit and what the expectations 
are. First - managers don't want to spend money if they do not have to. So, 
usually the audits are mandatory and main goal (the only goal) is to pass it 
with good result.

Re: EXTERNAL EMAIL: Re: DB2 member to start on different LPAR

2021-02-11 Thread Chris Hoelscher
A few thoughts

This is NOT purely an academic excersize - if an lpar crashed with a DS member 
on it, and the LPAR COULD NOT be immediately restarted. You would NEED to bring 
up the downed member on the remaining LPAR in light mode - to free any locked 
threads - miake sure all the drda ports are defined an ALL potential LPARS

The answer is much more related to your infrastructure than the DB2 DS Member 
itself. (You can indeed run different DS members on a single LPAR) - we've done 
it during a DR exercise ) The question is more about do you have shared 
parmlibs/proclibs/RACF etc. etc. Some other considerations might be the 
listening ports for DDF (do the DS Members share a port or have unique ports ?) 
or ZFS file systems ?

Unless I am missing something.

The point of DB2 Data Sharing is there is a GROUP (Umbrella) that connects 
multiple DB2 Regions.

So if you have 2 or more DB2 Data Sharing regions.  One on LPAR1 one on LPAR2

Then if LPAR1 is down, then LPAR2 will take on the DB2 data sharing work.

Does that make Sense?

we are being constrained due to operations limitations. We are planning to 
upgrade our development environment and we need to have the development CICS 
regions down. Unfortunately operations says they have difficulty going thru all 
the regions and just stopping development cics. Our CICS regions are connected 
to only 1 LPAR. So only in order to ease their work they want to just bring 
down that LPAR with a scheduled IPL. Our primary DB2 member runs on that LPAR. 
So I wanted to start it on a "non-CICS" LPAR.

What has surprised me the most?  How many firms with outsourced or cloud 
strategies still seem to want more direct mainframe skills kept in house.
The great side of that is a feeling that the real importance these skills bring 
to an org has not been completely lost to lure of commodity mindsets!

I for one am not convinced that real competitive advantages come from following 
a pack.
Competitive advantages come from those that really understand and exploit the

All that said, nice work Bob.
Looks like you found a niche helping others and that is a great thing!

Isn't there a program someone wrote (talked about here many years ago) that can

  If that's the case, hashing doesn't really do as much good as people think it 
does, once someone gets hold of the RACF dataset of course.

Subject: [IBM-MAIN] Request for help with removing sequence numbers from PDS 
members

[External Email: Use caution with links and attachments]


This has almost certainly cropped up before but try as I might, I can't spot 
anything obvious in the archives.

I have a need to strip sequence numbers from members in a PDS or PDSE.
The input PDS(E) has DCB characteristics of REFCM=FB,LRECL-80, and contains an 
unknown number of members. Of those members, some will have records with 'old 
data' in character positions 73-80 (that is - sequence numbers, or whatever 
remains of them).
I want to be able to copy this input PDS(E) to a new one with the same DCB 
info, but all records in all members must have spaces in positions 73-80.

I thought that ICETOOL might be able to do this but as far as I can see, 
ICETOOL needs to be told which member names to process. That information is 
readily available while developing and testing a solution, but not when the 
result is used in a more general scenario.

Can anyone point me at some sort of solution that I might adapt, please?
Perhaps there is something on the CBT tape that might help...

Regards
Sean

Shocker, Ed Jaffe pushes the boundaries of z/OS.  Film at 11.

For those of you who haven't been paying attention, and judging by your 
IBM-Main posts, you haven't, Ed Jaffe's goal in life is to push the boundaries 
of z/OS, as he's done continuously for the approximately 25 years I've known 
him.  He's one of the main reasons that z/OS is as good as it is.  If he's

DB2 v12 introduced new Insert Algorithm 2 (IAG2), which was the topic of Red 
Alert and the recommendation was to disable it.
Question: is it fixed somehow or the recommendation is still valid?

I think SuperSession for CA-TPX
IBM's RMM for CA1
As for CA Workload Automation - There should be requirements to determine how 
to replace it

IBM has a Tivoli Scheduler (I forget the name) But there are probably other 
companies.

I would guess a Cost analysis should be done to see what makes sense.

So CA Worklaod Automation is the top of the line, but CA also has Jobtrac

Check out

It will come down to what do you need vs. what is available on the mark.

Subject: Re: CA Broadcom Replacement Software

I'm going to *slightly* disagree with the multi windows instead of a session 
manager.  Session manager gets closer to a single signon because it can mask 
signing on to everything.  It also typically has a longer timeout and can 
seemingly withstand a network drop.  I'm currently experiencing multiple WAN 
drops to work daily.  My TN3270 sessions lose connectivity when the network 
drops so once the network is back I have to disconnect/reconnect my TN3270 
connections but our session manager just drops me right back where I was.

This is about IBM software licensing.
For OTC there are VUE - Value Unit Exhibits.
There some non-linear relationship between MSU and VUE number, but there are 
several VUE's and the same machine have 300 VUE007, but 350 VUE008, etc. 
(Number are examples only).

Now it time for the question: How to find out which VUEnnn is applicable to 
given product? Is there any table or other webpage with such information?

Further, some FOSS man pages are supplied in nroff format and formatted and

Why not load the data into a DB and use SQL or similar language?

If you have SAS - Max Min - functions

If you can load to EXCEL - use its functions

Not all functions on the mainframe can do everything.  You should look at what 
makes sense.  And if the tool you are comfortable in using, does not have the 
function, I would say to find one that does.

Hope that helps

 ARR, ESTAE, and ESTAEX are all RTM2, so recovering from an event and retrying 
are pretty much the same processing.
 
 Establishing and deleting an ARR  is considerably faster than establishing and

Shirley there is a better way to introduce new behavior in a compatible manner,

Might be history.  IBM is loath to change an earlier behavior, no matter how

If either IEBCOPY or INCLUDE -ATTR fails to propagate an entry address, even so 
bizarrely generated, IBM should take an APAR.  Of course, for compatibility 
they'd feel compelled to invent a new option and preserve the old default.

FWIW, from Mozilla:

"Most browsers, not just Firefox, do not trust certificates by GeoTrust, 
RapidSSL, Symantec, Thawte, and VeriSign because these certificate authorities

Subject: Re: [IBM-MAIN] it was 20 years ago today

Question about how the year 2000 was handled as we just got hit by a major date 
problem.  I remember that one way to handle the date comparisons was to have 
all the years from 00-19 (or something greater than 19) have a high value so it 
would be greater than the 1990's.  Does anyone remember that?  Was it something 
IBM did although I don't recall putting on any patches for something like that 
so I'm thinking it was something we did.

Subject: Re: [IBM-MAIN] ISPF Question - browsing variable length records

The apparent trailing blanks are an illusion.  Whether the lines on the screen 
have trailing blanks or nulls is an option you or your installation set.  I 
suspect if the file actually has trailing blanks, those will be on the screen, 
but I have no reason or desire to test it.

It's useful to think of "being in" the file while editing, but this is just an 
abstraction.  ISPF allows you to lengthen or shorten records, add, delete, or 
change them, etc... You know this doesn't modify the file at all until you 
save, and that is when ISPF builds actual records.  Pretending there are a 
bunch of blanks there on the screen is merely a cosmetic thing they decided to 
do.  Nulls would have made more sense to me, but again, as this is merely 
cosmetic, I really don't care.

Anyway, how the screen works and how the file is stored are two different 
things; it is due to ISPF's great design that it appears seamless.  A 
counter-example is FM, which refuses to allow you to change the length of a 
record in a KSDS (as far I could tell, quite a while ago).

Subject: [IBM-MAIN] COBOL for z/OS V6R2M0

I have updated the COBOL options using IGY620.SIGYSAMP(IGYWDOPT), SMP/E usermod 
to update the COBOL options.  IGY620.SIGYCOMP is in the system link list, and 
the usermod updates IGYCDOPT in that load library.  After updating the module I 
refresh LLA with F LLA,REFRESH.

I have used ISRDDN to search both the system link list and LPA for module 
IGYCDOPT.  It only appears in the link listed load library IGY620.SIGYLOAD.

I have changed ARCH=7 to ARCH=12, OPT=0 to OPT=2, and NOBLOCK0 to BLOCK0.  The 
changes I have made do not show up when I run a COBOL compile after applying 
the usermod, and refreshing LLA.  I have tried RESTORING the usermod, 
refreshing LLA, and APPLY'ing the usermod again.  Still the same results.

This is a ADCD z/OS 2.3 system running on IBM's zPDT environment.

Subject: Re: [IBM-MAIN] WTO for message that will require explicit deletion?

@Peter, thanks.

Frankly, the documentation of the more esoteric aspects of WTO seems haphazard 
to this observer. I think WTO's clarity of documentation suffers from the 
various things that have been layered on over the years such as MCS. As I wrote 
in the OP, the idea that DESC=3 requires an explicit delete comes from this in 
the doc: "If the task can determine when the operator has performed the action, 
the task should issue a DOM macro to delete the message." That is not logically 
the same as the statement "the message will hang out until it is explicitly 
deleted" but for better or worse that is what I inferred.

An automatic DOM at step termination will preclude this approach for me, but 
does make logical sense and as you say is consistent with how MVS tends to do 
things. I intend to run an experiment with -- purely as an experimental hack -- 
a one minute or so delay before the jobstep task ends -- just for my own 
curiosity.

OTOH, there is this: "When using the LINKAGE=BRANCH parameter, the system does 
not automatically delete a WTO issued by a caller in SRB mode. A caller in SRB 
mode must issue the DOM macro to explicitly delete any action message when the 
calling program ends."

That would appear to be an approach that would cause a message to "hang out"
past end of jobstep. Not sayin' it's a good idea, just sayin'.

Charles,

You started with

I have an APF-authorized batch program that I want to have WTO a message that 
will hang out at the bottom of the console screen until it is explicitly 
deleted 

I'm quite sure that the system will automatically DOM a message upon 
termination of the jobstep of the issuer. 
That should not be much of a surprise. I'd hope it is mentioned somewhere (for 
completeness, not suggesting that it's at all obvious). That might be thought 
not to violate your requirement unless you added "and not cleaned up at step 
termination". Not all that many things fall into the category of "not cleaned 
up at step termination".  Obtaining of common storage, of course, is one.

It uses the DCB of the FIRST DSN in the concatenation.
If F(B), then each block must be a multiple of the LRECL of the First DSN.  
Pretty sure the VB won't be.  And the length fields would be read as data.
If V(B), then each record cannot exceed cannot exceed the LRECL of the First 
DSN.  And the first bytes of a F DSN would be treated as the length.

It depends. Do you want to copy all or specific members?

>Is the COPY command sufficient?

It should be, a$$uming you want to copy ALL members without any reblocking with 
COPYMOD and that both datasets RECFM, LRECL, BLKSIZE, etc. are the same. 

Perhaps you can drop SYSUT3 and SYSUT4 and add this one:

//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*

Are you getting any error message(s)?

Perhaps you're refering to those 3279 and similar IBM 3270 display terminals? 
Those heavy toys have 3 blue switches, one for Normal/Test, one for 4 or 2 
colours and lastly one which switch from A,a to A or vice versa.

From 
https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FIBM_3270data=02%7C01%7Cchoelscher%40humana.com%7Ce251ffe943494f0c3b9b08d6cd70278d%7C56c62bbe85984b859e511ca753fa50f2%7C1%7C0%7C636922278950307159sdata=rl5Lh5OObsmE%2B7GLxThbipzOoUeYxUgNnsZGHPnGswg%3Dreserved=0
 I see this note:

"3270 character set" [ This set contains both lower and upper case letters ]

"On the 3275 and 3277 terminals without the a text feature, lower case 
characters display as uppercase."
 
Kees, are you perhaps refering to those 3275 or 3277 terminals?

I am for once glad we don't have those terminals. It is a nightmare to carry 
them around and they will break these flimsy tables we now have... ;-)

Hi Folks,

     It worked out well that we had the previous problem when incorrect ASID's

 Updates page, and also File 035, which contains load modules for LOOK. All 
should be fine, hopefully.  Please download the newest copies, if you 
downloaded between yesterday and today.

     Again, thanks for your forbearance.  We're trying to bring you the best 
product we can.

     All the best of everything to all of you...

This one caught my attention.  I trotted off to look up AMBLIST, and it looks 
like it's a utility useful to assembler programmers (see 
https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibm.com%2Fsupport%2Fknowledgecenter%2Fen%2FSSLTBW_2.3.0%2Fcom.ibm.zos.v2r3.ieav100%2Famblist.htmdata=02%7C01%7Cchoelscher%40humana.com%7C529307afb9694e91160c08d68aebf405%7C56c62bbe85984b859e511ca753fa50f2%7C1%7C0%7C636849143369855693sdata=WJIGIAgHNB6uR1cFAfyPMXMoTLS1LyI1NGdfZvpFvzg%3Dreserved=0).
  I suspect that to one of my ignorance it won't tell me anything, but can you 
provide some background?  I don't know what I would see in an ABMLISTing that 
would tell me anything I need to know about a CSI.

Re: Newbie SMP/E questions

2019-01-29 Thread Chris Hoelscher
Just a few thoughts from my vast (well, half-vast) SMP/E experience


Always receive HOLDDATA before doing anything - it may alert you to previously 
received fixes that are now marked PE (PROGRAM IN ERROR)
Holddata can also inform you of previously-PE ptf that are now resolved

The REPORT ERRSYSMODS COMMAQND IS YOUR FRIEND
 
Accept the base (fmid) - never ACCEPT a ptf until/unless you are damned sure 
you will never need to remove it (that could mean NEVER )
After EVERY smp/e modification, backup (dfdss/favr/whatever) your entire smp/e 
environment - and keep many many generations - you can use these to do an end 
run around the need to RESTORE

How far back do you need to go in a restore - until you are clean or pre-and 
co-requisite PTFs (could be many iterations)

If all else fails, start over with a new CSI

The other option is to see if the ISPF environment has the ISPF SMP/E panels 
available.  That also can help reduce the stress of using SMP/E.  
REC/APP/REST/REJ/ACC are pretty easy to do.  Try not to get lost in the 
details.  The panels will wrap JCL around what you are going to do.  I save 
that off to a dataset and then I have a sample of how to do each.

Re: Fixes from CA

2018-12-18 Thread Chris Hoelscher
CA now offers internet smp/e retrievals (receive order). This delivers fixes 
and holddata directly (and properly formatted) to the mainframe
Before the above method was available in our shop, I used IND$FILE to port 
fixes from desktop top MF - specifying recfm(f) lrecl(80)

Never had a formatting issue

Hi, 

On getting a bunch of Solutions downloaded from the CA site for a product, the 
subsequent uploads to mainframe fail because the .txt files go on for more than 
80 cols. 
This is super annoying as I'm looking to upload hundreds of PTF HOLDDATA. 
I've used quote site lrecl=80 but when the first line of R1235.txt is 81 
columns, how many ever lines the file has, FTP-ing it from desktop to mainframe 
brings in only the first line. 
Usually, I get around this but just making sure the first record stops at col 
80. 
Easy to do when dealing with only a handful of files.. 

Help! What's the best way to forcefully truncate the broken .txt files at 80 
columns so I can transfer them with ease. 
No, I can't setup SMPE RECEIVE ORDER. Fixes get downloaded to a PC, then FTP'd 
from PC to mainframe.

AVGREC adds to the chaos.

If the initial allocation was performed in multiple extents, is there any way 
to retrieve the initial request?

HSM MIGRATE/RECALL can coalesce extents, further obscuring the initial request.

I have used ISPF to capture the attributes of a data set; changed only the DSN, 
then allocated.  The new data set was smaller because ISPF? Allocation? applied 
a correction for 3380/5590 capacity ratio.
(I understand this is optional, but our site had it turned on.)

I'd like to be able to code "BLKSIZE=0,SPACE=(1,100),..."
and let allocation and SDB figure it out.

They're only trying to help me.

[OT] z/OS (not OS/390) (with apologies to They Might be Giants- Istanbul, not Constantinople)

2018-11-21 Thread Chris Hoelscher
z/os was os/390   
Now it's z/os , not os/390
Been a long time gone, Oh os/390
Now it's  Poughkeepsie delight on a moonlit night
Every sysprog in os/390
Codes for z/os , not os/390
if you've got a billing rate for os/390 
It'll be higher in z/os

Even old Islandia was once New East Icelip
Why he changed it I can't say
Charles just liked it better that way

So, Take me back to os/390
No, you can't go back to os/390
Been a long time gone, Oh os/390
Why did os/390 get the New??
That's nobody's business but Big Blue

Thinking back and firing up those old brain cells I recall my lead MVS guy use 
to export the IODF, alter it as he needed to (adding new esoterics?) and import 
it back to HCD and build the IODF and IOCDS. 
I've never done this and I'm not sure your level of HCD will support it but 
it's worth a try.

When I use HCD to 'Work with EDTs', it shows locally defined esoterics, but not 
the one for 3590-1. 
When I use HCD to 'View generics by name', I see 3590-1, but I can't change it. 

Can I just add a 3590-1 in 'Work with EDTs' and then that override the one the 
system generates?

When a USERMOD is supplied like this, here is what it is

IBM Creates on their end.  They use TSO XMIT to create a transport file.  You 
Download and UPLOAD in BIN format.

On the MF Side the attributes are usually

LRECL=80, BLKSIZE=3120 and RECFM=FB.  You Upload to that file on the Mainframe 
with a BIN attribute.  This will prevent issues with the file.

On the MF Side once the file is there, user TSO RECEIVE INDSN(whatever)

I usually pre-allocate on the MF then use IND$FILE, or FTP, other program with 
a BIN as the way it is transmitted to the MF

For any product install, the SMPE Libraries are critical. I do not think you 
can just build an SMP/E environment without them

So you are saying all of the SMP/e environment for this product is gone.
Then the client may be in a bad place.

As stated, see if a friendly IBM Account manager can help.  But you cannot 
receive any maintenance without the CSI/TLIBs/DLIBs

The JCLIN would be critical for SMP/E to know what to do with the "parts"

For any product install, the SMPE Libraries are critical. I do not think you 
can just build an SMP/E environment without them

So you are saying all of the SMP/e environment for this product is gone.  Then 
the client may be in a bad place.

As stated, see if a friendly IBM Account manager can help.  But you cannot 
receive any maintenance without the CSI/TLIBs/DLIBs

The JCLIN would be critical for SMP/E to know what to do with the "parts"

Or to have Bookmanager format open sourced...? Seriously, what's in it for IBM 
to sit on a data format it no longer uses or supports? Surely others would take 
it and run with it.

Subject: [IBM-MAIN] unexpected tape issue with RETAIN

I have a 50+ step backup job (using real 3590s) that has steps like:

//STEP049 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//DASD DD  DISP=SHR,UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=HKYTD4
//BACKUP   DD  DSN=DR.T.DSS.HKYTD4.,DISP=(NEW,KEEP,DELETE),
// UNIT=3590,VOL=(,RETAIN,REF=*.STEP048.BACKUP),
// LABEL=(49,SL,RETPD=),DCB=(MODEL.DSCB,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSINDD  *
  DUMP FULL INDD(DASD) OUTDD(BACKUP) ALLD(*) ADMIN TOL(IOER) ALLE
/*
//*
//STEP050 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//DASD DD  DISP=SHR,UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=HKYTD5
//BACKUP   DD  DSN=DR.T.DSS.HKYTD5.,DISP=(NEW,KEEP,DELETE),
// UNIT=3590,VOL=(,RETAIN,REF=*.STEP049.BACKUP),
// LABEL=(50,SL,RETPD=),DCB=(MODEL.DSCB,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSINDD  *
  DUMP FULL INDD(DASD) OUTDD(BACKUP) ALLD(*) ADMIN TOL(IOER) ALLE
/*

This job always worked on OS/390 2.10, but under z/OS 1.13, randomly, when 
going to a new step, it wants the current tape mounted on a different 3590. 
Additionally, it does not unload the tape from the first drive.

Also: If I have only one drive online, it runs to completion. If I have two 
drives, but the other one is busy, it runs to completion.

Info: This system is using RMM as a tape manager, but the files being created 
on the tape are not defined in any storage group or RMM.

It is driving me batty. I have to be 'not seeing' something.

And don't forget the (early):

5 = 3

which, in at least some compilers, would indeed make subsequent references to 
"5" use "3". I think that was considered a bug.

Now for those that didn't move to a 4 digit year to resolve Y2K but instead 
went to a window technique, how many of your current staff know what dates were 
used for the window so they can again fix the problem before it occurs.

In 1974, we considered it, but the cost of a byte of disk storage was enough to 
push the storage of each date's century toward the '90s.  We fully expected the 
remediation would be needed but storage would be more affordable by then, which 
panned out.  What everybody got wrong was expecting the relative costs of 
hardware and software to not change, but in fact they flipped--hardware became 
dirt cheap but software became very expensive.

It's Greg, by the way.With more information, I see that you are indeed 
trying to extend the candidate volumes for a data set.  The message below 
indicates it is not a VSAM file, is that right?   If so, is it SMS-managed?  If 
not, I'm afraid the issue is fairly clear: 

Restriction: This does not work with non-SMS non-VSAM.

If it is SMS-managed, the manual indicates that you can only add nonspecific 
volumes to non-VSAM data sets,  that is, ADDVOLUMES(* * * * * * * *) to add 8 
candidate volumes.   However, my experiments issuing the command with a 
specific volser did not generate the same message as you received, so I'm not 
sure that's your issue.

I am simply trying to add 8 more volumes to the pool hopefully without deleting 
and redefining the catalog.


FDRABR.POOLDISK.ARCHIVE1   AR2330+
All allocated volumes:
 More: +
  Number of volumes allocated: 14

  AR2330  AR2331  AR2332  AR2333  AR2334
  AR2335  AR2336  AR2337  AR2340  AR2341

Philip,

I believe the example you posted below is attempting to add a candidate volume 
to the catalog for the data set  FDRABR.POOLDISK.ARCHIVE1.If you are trying 
to add a volume to a storage pool, I think you'll need to go through the ISMF 
panels.   (Unless this is something specific to FDR, which I know nothing 
about...  )

Since the original is managed by SMS, you need to tell ADRDSSU that you want 
the copy to be unmanaged.  Look for the section "Converting Data Sets with Data 
Movement" in your copy of DFSMSdss Storage Administration.  Mine (very old) 
says to specify both BYPASSACS and NULLSTORCLASS on the COPY command.

You will need to use the COD.

Although Linux and z/VM can be IPLed from DVD, z/OS must IPL from attached 
(ECKD) DASD.  It does not now and will likely not any time soon support IPLed 
from anywhere in the HMC file system, including  DVD.

Based on that, the DVD-based installation process involves the Customized 
Offerings Driver (which we affectionately call the COD). 
Standalone DFSMSdss, which can be IPLed from the HMC's DVD drive, was changed a 
while back to support restoring disk volumes from DVD files. 
The COD z/OS system is restored using DFSMSdss and then IPLed.  (You can 
optionally use standalone ICKDSF to verify target volume labels and INIT the 
volumes before restoring them, but we taught DFSMSdss to be a bit smarter a 
while back so this is no longer a required step.)

The restores run reasonably quickly, though I don't have current numbers.  When 
we first planned this support we thought it would take a lot longer than it 
actually does, because we--well, I (blush)--forgot that we dumped the COD 
systems with the COMPRESS keyword, which reduces the HMC-to-DASD data transfer 
time significantly.  If I recall correctly, the entire process from DFSMSdss 
IPL to z/OS IPL only takes a few hours.

In turn, the COD z/OS system supports installing the z/OS you actually want 
from direct download to z/OS (if you have connectivity at the site) or by 
transferring files from a workstation to the z/OS UNIX file system, whether 
they were downloaded or are also on DVD.  You can install a new copy of z/OS 
using ServerPac (if you are sane) or CBPDO (if you aren't); the COD supports 
both.

It might also be possible to use the FTP-based IPL available on z14 and later 
HMCs for DFSMSdss and FTP file access for the restores, with the files on your 
workstation (set up as an FTP server), which I am told should work, but which 
we have not explicitly tested.  That might or might not be faster than 
restoring from DVD, depending on where the bottleneck is in the effective data 
transfer rate.  Speaking for myself, though, restores from DVD would certainly 
have been done for quite a while while I was still fiddling with the FTP 
configuration and physical connections for this IPL path, but YMMV.
