Re: z13s with single CPU able to use SMT?

[Patrick Loftus]

You could try an RMF CPU report, which should show MT information if it is 
enabled.

But the "+N" on your display seems to say the multiple cores are online but not 
available for use, so you wont be using them.  The underlying hardware is 
telling z/OS "no" I guess.

Once you've installed it on one machine, I've found you can dump the relevant

Well, it works, and is better than I expected, but if you're working all day in

TN3270 Plus I found was excellent - multiple tabbed sessions in 1 window.  
That's the only other thing I wish Vista had.

Re: z/OS 1.13 - USS Upgrade Problem

[Patrick Loftus]

This doesn't apply to HFS filesystems, but here is a post from a slightly 
different topic which may have some bearing on the problem you found:


"Just found this information related to the ZFS delay I'd had, which I'd filed 
away. It's copied from a redpiece. I chopped bits out here and there I think, 
but the full text is in the following Redpiece:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/pdfs/sg246580.pdf

2.12.2 Mounting zFS file systems copied outside the sysplex
If you have a specific system located in another sysplex that is used for 
preparing and servicing UNIX System Services file systems that are type zFS, 
then the first mount may take at least 65 seconds. This is caused by the write 
protection implementation.

As long as the aggregate is attached read-write, the identifier is active in 
block zero (0). As a result, on ADRDSSU COPY or DUMP processing, it is copied 
as well.

When you mount or attach the aggregate in the target production system, zFS 
sees this identifier. Because it does not reflect the sysplex environment, zFS 
waits 65 seconds for an update of the time stamp value within the identifier. 
If the aggregate is used read-write outside of the sysplex, then this time 
stamp should get updated twice a minute, as mentioned earlier.
If no update occurs, this shows that the identifier is there without a reason. 
In this case, after the 65 seconds, zFS attaches and mounts the aggregate.

To avoid the 65 seconds wait time on access to the aggregate in the production 
environment, unmount or detach the source aggregate in the service system 
before using ADRDSSU COPY or ADRDSSU DUMP.
OR
Switch the source aggregate to read-only access, using the ISHELL modify 
interface from the mount table panel or the /usr/sbin/chmount shell command. 
Then copy the contents of the aggregate. This switch removes the write 
protection identifier, as well."

Our CICS v3.2 bill went up something like 10% in 2011. We're on v4.2 now, as 
the v3.2 costs were raised give or take a few quid to match those of v4.2.
We're just upgrading to IMS v12 from v10, so there's another 10% on that bill

Now both are rising around another 10% in Jan.  Ouch.

IBM would argue they're delivering a lot of new features for the money.

Do you have CA Common Services?  That fires up SYSLOGD if it isn't already

I'd go to the "PS" panel in SDSF, or do a "D OMVS,A=ALL" command and look for a

It's not necessarily a task called SYSLOGD, but it will have "syslogd" in the

Re: ZFS MountCall / Osi Wait

I have these notes from an IBM Redpiece.  I can't find the original copy, but 
here are my notes. 
Doesn't answer your question of how to cancel the recoveries though.  I'd be 
interested in that answer myself.  We have a system with almost 700 ZFS

all the filesystems.
Not sure why yours is taking almost an hour though.

I know what you mean - I also find it annoying, and it just seems a bit messy

Other culprits I know of are CA MSM, and CA Common Services (TNGE component).

On a related note, from an automation point of view, you can beat a simple "S 
taskname", with associated "initialization complete" type message, and "P 
taskname" with associated "shutdown complete" message.  And then there is 
WebSphere Application Server.

All,

I have been thinking about this for awhile,, but cant seem to find the answer.  
 So asking my fellow listers if I am missing something.   Workflows are a one 
and done affair, and for repeatable processes you need to add it again.The 
problem is that the filesystem location for the workflows are usually buried in 
various installation manuals, not always easy to find.  Lately, I have been 
working with the zCX workflows to provision, alter, upgrade, etc.

My question is that it would be nice if there were a panel that would 
optionally bookmark all of the various workflow definition files that have been 
used or might be used again?   I dont see that?  Am I missing something?   
There is something somewhat rudimentary in the create workflow screen with the 
pulldown, but I dont know if thats zOSMF doing that, or the browser doing that. 
  But then that would likely be just for me?

What if we had a public workflow that we expected many people to use to 
provision xyz?   

I'm sure there is an answer to this, I'm just not picking up on it.

Dave

And have a look at the other zfsadm commands in that manual whilst you're there 
in case anything useful jumps out at you.

Re: ZFS Address Space, shared ENQ but filesystem isn't mounted

[Patrick Loftus]

Perhaps see if the zfsadmin fsinfo commands reveal anything that might give a 
clue:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.4.0?topic=commands-zfsadm-fsinfo

e.g. any shrink/salvage operations in progress, is it quiesced, what is the 
status, any connected clients.

I'd open a Case with IBM on this one if you have support.

Tried that. Didn't work. Told me that the file system that was contained in the

Re: ZFS Address Space, shared ENQ but filesystem isn't mounted

[Patrick Loftus]

Interested to know more about that recommendation for zOSMF, as the zFS manuals 
indicate since v2r3 it's beneficial to move zFS back to OMVS address space.

Wonder how the situation will differ, if zFS didn't run as a separate address 
space (as recommended, at least for zOSMF's benefit).
Instead if zFS was managed by the OMVS STC itself...

And the default is noswap I see, meaning a "swap" can be done at a later time:

IBM has come back to me that this current situation is a result of running

Re: How to determine if Enhanced HOLDDATA received?

[Patrick Loftus]

If you do a cross zone query against the SYSMOD name of the FMID (e.g. 
HRF77B0), then select the GLOBAL zone, then "L" for HOLDDATA, you will see all 
the SECINT class holds if they are there.
If they've also received the SECINT assign statements, there will also be 
SYSMODs with a SOURCEID of SECINT.

As one the do not run apply check, how can I determine if such holddata was

I respect the  decision who can access the data, but I need to understand if

Re: How to determine if Enhanced HOLDDATA received?

[Patrick Loftus]

The holddata for SECINT looks like below.  Note the function SYSMOD, not PTF
SYSMOD ID:
++ HOLD(HSMA230) FMID(HSMA230) REASON(BHx) ERROR DATE(yyddd)

 COMMENT(SMRTDATA(FIX(UIx) SYMP(B5.9,T5.7)

 CHGDT(yyddd))) CLASS(SECINT).

++ HOLD(HSMA240) FMID(HSMA240) REASON(CHx) ERROR DATE(yyddd)

 COMMENT(SMRTDATA(FIX(UIx) SYMP(B5.9,T5.7)

 CHGDT(yyddd))) CLASS(SECINT).

++ HOLD(HSMA230) FMID(HSMA230) REASON(BHx) ERROR DATE(yyddd)

 COMMENT(SMRTDATA(FIX(UIx) SYMP(B7.5,T7.2)

 CHGDT(yyddd))) CLASS(SECINT).

++ HOLD(HSMA240) FMID(HSMA240) REASON(CHx) ERROR DATE(yyddd)

 COMMENT(SMRTDATA(FIX(UIx) SYMP(B7.5,T7.2)

 CHGDT(yyddd))) CLASS(SECINT).

++ HOLD(HSMA220) FMID(HSMA220) REASON(AHx) ERROR DATE(yyddd)

 COMMENT(SMRTDATA(FIX(UIx) SYMP(B7.5,T7.2)

 CHGDT(yyddd))) CLASS(SECINT). 
Etc etc

This is unlike the normal full holddata, which can be the PTF SYSMOD ID's:
++HOLD(UJ09068) FMID(HBB77B0) REASON(BA64026) ERROR DATE(22314)

 COMMENT(SMRTDATA(CHGDT(221110))) CLASS(PE).


The optional SECINT ASSIGNS file, which you don't have to download, look
like this:
++ ASSIGN  SOURCEID(SECINT) TO(UIx).

++ ASSIGN  SOURCEID(SECINT) TO(UIx).

++ ASSIGN  SOURCEID(SECINT) TO(UIx).

++ ASSIGN  SOURCEID(SECINT) TO(UIx).

++ ASSIGN  SOURCEID(SECINT) TO(UJx).

++ ASSIGN  SOURCEID(SECINT) TO(UJx).

++ ASSIGN  SOURCEID(SECINT) TO(UJx).

++ ASSIGN  SOURCEID(SECINT) TO(UJx). 
Etc etc
In the example from Dave Jousma, with the APPLY SOURCEID(SECINT), I believe
this would only work if you've also obtained the ASSIGN file from Resource
Link too.

When you run the REPORT ERRSYSMODS report, for SECINT HOLD CLASS it will the
"SYSMOD NAME" as the FMID ID, which is different to a "normal" HOLD which
lists the PTF SYSMOD.
Made up example::
HOLD SYSMOD   APAR ---RESOLVING SYSMOD   HOLDHOLD
FMID NAME NUMBER   NAMESTATUS RECEIVED   CLASS   SYMPTOMS
HMJ4102  UW31189  AN80203  UW32213 GOOD   YESPE

We may be talking at cross purposes here; I'm concerned about the hold class
SECINT, not the source with the same name. The SECINT hold is on the PTF
with the exposure, not the PTF correcting it.

Hi,
I gather there is no supplied connector specific to z/OS.  
Does your site use SSH to connect to z/OS and reset passwords, or do you have 
an in-house written connector?
Thanks

Yes. Once a day, or when my checked out password expires I sign on to Cyberark

Subject Quarterly RSU


Is it still true that IBM does more extensive testing for quarterly RSUs
than on the other monthly RSUs? It's been suggested to me that this may no
longer be the case. But wisdom used to be to perform maintenance on the
quarterly's.

My understanding was (may be dated) that IBM performed more stringent
testing with zOS, CICS, DB2 and other components at the quarterly RSU level
that wasn't done on the other monthly RSUs.

Re: Introducing IBM Virtual Dev and Test for z/OS

It's possible the IBM Z requirements are for the "Virtual Dev and Test for z/OS 
instances" component, and the x86-64 requirements are for the other two 
components, "Virtual Dev and Test for z/OS web and Software based license 
server" and "Image storage server".

These components are mentioned in the hardware requirements.

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, 18.04 LTS, and 20.04 LTS; x86-64 hardware • Red Hat(R)

It's an odd omission, certainly.

However, if you don't absolutely have to use DFSMSdss, DFSMShsm *does* allow 
wildcards and will backup files in a directory subtree. Available in z/OS 2.3 
with PTFs or in the base from 2.4 onwards. Andrew Wilt of IBM did a very 
complete presentation at the last GSE virtual conference on the topic.

The notepad structure itself would reside on a Coupling Facility, so there's

I've vague memories of needing to increase a few structure sizes as they failed

Do you currently have a CF, running a Parallel SYSPLEX ? or multiple CF's ?

  what box are the CF's ? one on the z13 one on the z15?

I think the only factor I can see, without knowing your complex would be if the 
CFRM policy, if any has been built at the appropriate CFC level to support both 
processors and you have enough storage defined for the CF's to support DB2 data 
sharing.

Is there a way to list the associated File System that houses the directory

I can get the best guess by doing a D OMVS,F which will display the mount
points for each file system, but, 

Wondered if there might be something available that given a specific file of

The actual File System?

Re: FTP problem

maybe try adding

You should see:
user:  entered with username 'userid'.
reply: entered
reply: --> 331 Send password please.

that happens in rapid succession on my system.
On yours I guess you see a large delay on the timestamps of those

Re: FTP problem

[Patrick Loftus]

He's tried z/OS to z/OS and had same issue.

I'd probably stop using the Windows client, and focus only the z/OS 
client, FTPing to the z/OS FTP server on the same system, to rule out 
any complications from Windows, and as many as possible from external 
network.

Gadi,

You mentioned Windows delay. Have you tried a z/OS FTP and noticed a longer 
runtime?

Hi James,
SDSF doesn't report any paging.

Check storage while you’re at it. Could address spaces be swapping out because 
you are so low?

 Hi,
 We are in the midst of a DR test.
 A user is complaining that they are have problems using ftp.

 When the issue the ftp command from the command line in windows, they get the 
prompt for the user name almost immediately.
 Once the user enters the password and presses enter, it takes over a minute to 
get the prompt for the password.

 Has anyone encountered this problem.

 We do not have a similar problem on our production system.

 The production system is a z15-t02. The LPAR has 92 GB of storage.
 The DR system is a z13s. The LPAR has 16GB of storage.

 Both are running z/OS 2.3.

 Any help would be appreciated.

 Thanks

 Gadi

Re: Has D OMVS,P output gone AWOL?

[Patrick Loftus]

Manual says the 042I gets issued "In response to a DISPLAY OMVS operator 
command where process data was not able to be collected".

So you were not able to gather PFS data.

Do other OMVS displays look normal, such as D OMVS,O or D OMVS,L ?

Re: Has D OMVS,P output gone AWOL?

[Patrick Loftus]

Nothing for zFS?  e.g. BPXF288I Physical file system ZFS is terminating

I assume you have FILESYSTYPE(ZFS) in the BPXPRMxx that D OMVS shows is 
in use?


What happens why you try to issue a valid or invalid command directed at 
ZFS? e.g. F OMVS,PFS=ZFS,command
