Re: Exclusive ENQ on a TSO logon procedure
If a user logs on, it is JES2 that reads the logonproc from PROCLIB, which it already has allocated (as you mentioned). Kind of a chicken and egg problem: how can a user logon without having read the logonproc? Kees. Oh yeah..You are right.. . That explains why User C was able to log on . Thank you Kees ...

Re: Exclusive ENQ on a TSO logon procedure
There is a big difference between a job allocating a proclib with DISP=OLD and a user editing a logonproc with ISPF. The job with DISP=OLD blocks the entire proclib. ISPF issues an ENQ with DISP=SHR on the proclib and issues its own ENQ on the member with DISP=OLD. This way the library is available for other task with DISP=SHR, but the member (logonproc) is exclusively in use by the ISPF user. This works this way for decades already. Well ... Let me put the scenario a bit more clear a) User A goes and edits the logon procedure in ISPF and doesn't come out of edit mode . b) User B submits a Job with SYS1.PROCLIB containing the logon proc with DISP=OLD Then the job waits for an exclusive access for SYS1.PROCLIB which never gets satisfied as the proclib is already allocated with DISP=SHR by many things including JES2 - This is normal Now , my understanding is - At this point , if a USER C tries to logon to the system using the same logon procedure in SYS1.PROCLIB , he shouldn't be able to as GRS has another Exclusive ENQ request waiting from the job submitted by User B . Shouldn't that be honored before allowing others to access the proclib irrespective of DISP=SHR ?

Exclusive ENQ on a TSO logon procedure
Greetings , Can somebody tell me what if a proclib containing a TSO logon procedure has got a DISP=OLD in a user submitted JCL or if somebody opens a logon procedure in ISPF edit mode and keep it that way for few hours. Will the rest of the users be able to log on using the same logon procedure while the ENQ is on ? Well , this is on z/os 2.1 and i was surprised to see the enq doesn't hold anybody from logging on using the same logon procedure while there is an exclusive ENQ . Does anyone know if this is a new feature in z/os 2.1 ? I am aware of the dynamic ENQ downgrade within a JCL having multiple steps . But the job which had a DISP=OLD in my system had only one step and it was hanging because someone had opened the logon proc in edit mode and forgot to come out of the session .

Re: Spawned Address Space Control in tcsh shell
John , This talks about the _BPX_SHAREAS environment variable. This environment variable is not mentioned anywhere in the documentation of tcsh. Your are right . BPX_SHAREAS cannot be used for tcsh . It is documented in USS planning guide . _BPX_SHAREAS Specifies whether the spawned child process is to be run in a separate address space from the login shell's address space or in the same address space. Use _BPX_SHAREAS is to improve performance in the z/OS® shell. The spawn callable service uses _BPX_SHAREAS when creating child processes. Restriction: If tcsh is your login shell, do not use BPX_SHAREAS. YES The child process is created on a subtask in the parent's address space. If the request cannot be honored, the child is created in another address space. NO The child process is created in a new address space. NO is the default. MUST The child process is created on a subtask in the parent's address space. If the request cannot be honored, the request will not complete. On Monday, December 30, 2013 7:23 PM, John McKown john.archie.mck...@gmail.com wrote: This is my take on it. I am not an expert. Nor do I have access to the actual source code. I don't believe that tcsh will do what you want. My reasoning is below. In order to run a process in the same address space, the code must use the spawn() function. I base this assertion on http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/BPXZB1C0/2.209 , point #8 in the Usage Notes. This talks about the _BPX_SHAREAS environment variable. This environment variable is not mentioned anywhere in the documentation of tcsh. I note that the description of the fork() function does not mention _BPX_SHAREAS at all. I therefore conclude that a fork() will always result in a new address space. I note that the description of the execve() function says: The current process image is replaced with a new process image for the executable file to be run. That is, the old execution state ceases to exist. So if the tcsh did an execve() without the fork() in order to run in the same address space, the shell would exit after the command because the shell would have ceased to exist. In my mind, doing a exec() is much like doing an XCTL. You don't return from whence you came. I notice that on this page: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/BPXZA5C0/TCSHBUINONit states: When a command to be executed is found not to be a built-in command the tcsh shell attempts to execute the command via execve. Taking these things together, I have come to the conclusion that the tcsh shell _most likely_ invokes non-builtin commands in the original UNIX way. That is doing a fork() followed by an exec(). This removes the possibility of running cozsftp in the same physical address space as the shell. Any particular reason you wan to use tcsh? I'm just curious because I've never read anything nice about it.

Re: Local Page dataset sizing/quantity ROT?
Hello David , DB2 support also says set dump services to allow for 16Gb SVC dumps to accommodate DB2 Since you say 16 GB for SVC dumps , you should atleast have a minimum of 48 GB local page space to start with (that is 1:3 ratio ) When we had to increase MAXSPACE limit to 16 GB couple of months ago , this is what IBM recommended and i believe it is documented as well .

We did have a case last week on a DEV system where a DB2 user tried to use a large portion of their 4T MEMLIMIT, DB2 support also says set dump services to allow for 16Gb SVC dumps to accommodate DB2. Things are just getting larger it seems. Seems easier to do today when lpars have much more memory than they used to in the past and various components are using more memory. Like I mentioned before, we normally don’t page much, if at all. However there are those cases of bad coding, or poor decisions on a developer or dba's part. It's more of an insurance policy that there is ample to time evaluate a errant paging situation before getting to the point where address space create fails. We always have had an unused local page dataset laying around to do a PAGEADD in the event of a problem. I guess in my mind I was envisioning some sort of ROT that said allocate 1.5x(OR 2x, etc) local page capacity based on online memory. Since we haven’t evaluated local page space quantity since 2006 I thought maybe it was time they had a boost.

David, Perhaps with a different twist, what problems are you trying to prevent :-) I wouldn't go to the level of Controller separation anymore - it'd s bit of overkill. However I'd still look for some level of hardware separation within the controller to ensure paging runs as fast possible when you need it. Wide striping on EMC and HDS would make separate parity groups unnecessary, but consider Tier 1 or SSD for paging as you don't want it on the lowest tier when you need it. Also separate LCU, Channels, ports, and VSD for Hitachi Storage if you can. This things will optimize the speed of paging when you need it. Size is a question of the maximum number of slots you use when you page out, usually due to a dump. You may want to go back and look at how many slots you used the last few times dumping caused you to do some serious paging and size the locals to be 4 to 10 times the maximum slots used. In MXG parlance that would mean summing MAXUSED from TYPE75 for every interval, and then a proc univariate or means to see what shakes out. The idea here is to avoid AUX slot shortages.

If it was, then I would write out the IDCAMS statements to change the volser

Note, if the file is allocated, then it will not be able to be re-assigned
Also, if you have files other than NONVSAM, you will need to take other

Hence it becomes necessary that i have to identify all the jobs which are currently using this feature and have them converted before going further . I need suggestions from people who has done this upgrade successfully in a production environment .I called up the support guys , and they told me to identify the jobs using tape sort in the currently installed release . I did some research on this and found 3 conditions to be satisfied in order to user tape sort feature a) SORTLIB DD statement in their JCL b) SYNCTAPE library in the linklist - (Which i already found to be there ) c) SORTWRK DD statements will have UNIT=TAPE Since we have thousands of jobs running in our environment , it is difficult to check the JCL of every job manually .

Ravi , You wouldn't be having SYNCTAPE load library with v1.4.1 .But they were used in prior releases .

Re: Syncsort v1.4 doesn't support Tape sorting - Need help !
Yes . That would work fine in the case of scheduled jobs . But in our shop,there is one more challenge that we have a lot of Auto-sched jobs (jobs that are trigerred externally from an MQ server ). And i do not know how many of them use tape sorting . This makes the task more difficult .

Re: MAXSPACE and central storage
Take a look at the APAR OA22623 . This is pretty old one , but worth reading Thank you, Roger From: Vernooij, CP - SPLXM kees.verno...@klm.com To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Sent: Friday, July 26, 2013 6:38 PM Subject: Re: MAXSPACE and central storage I don't think performance will degrade because of the MAXSPACE value, but before that happens, you will notify paging and paging-delays because of insufficient central storage. I suggest you monitor paging and %full of the local pagedatasets. You should have a robust paging configuration anyway, enough slots and enough access paths, to handle page-out bursts that can occur during dumps. But not only during dump, but also during e.g. large DB2 Reorgs and Loads where DFSORT requests large amounts of central storage from z/OS, and z/OS will provide them by (sometimes) mass page-outs of unused pages.

Re: SRCHFOR command
Wow .That was cool ... an entry was there for SRCHFOR in the command table . I just got it removed and the problem is resolved .

If you prefix SRCHFOR with a greater-than-sign it tells ISPF not to process the command against a command table, but pass it through to the underlying application. If that works for you then you need to check the active command tables in option 3.9. On the right hand side on option 3.9 you will see the active command tables. Type each of these in turn into the Application ID field at top left and look if SRCHFOR is present.
