Re: EXECCOMM Environment
CMS Pipelines does not care which kind of variable environment it accesses. Thus it has no concept of caller type. However, if the EXECCOMM environment supplies a source string, it can be extracted using REXXVARS, but that is as far as it goes. j. On 1/25/07, Schuh, Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks.

autolog profile exec logic
Does anyone have an autolog profile exec that contains some logic to auto log different servers based on what system you are on? We are trying to get t o a point where we can quickly copy the res pack to other systems, and, based on the system config fn specified on salipl, ipl a copy of that res pack to bring up different systems. Ideally what I'm looking for is a command that will retrieve the system n ame (which I can't seem to find) and then I can start different linux guests based on that system name.

You want to be a bit careful with IDENTIFY. The value it returns is based on CPUID and SYSTEM NETID. If the CPU id is not present in SYSTEM NETID, it will return the System_Identifier from SYSTEM CONFIG. So if you're going get IDENTIFY to change what it returns based on the fn on salipl, you can't use SYSTEM NETID. If you don't use RSCS, no big deal, but if you do, then you'll need to play games with SET CPUID and SYSTEM NETID for the users who need RSCS.

Re: autolog profile exec logic
The SYSTEM CONFIG file can have several CPUIDs specified, and can then be sectioned off based on the system name associated with the CPUID. Specifically, you get to specify the CP Owned volumes, so you have two separate lists; one for SYSA and another for SYSB. In our case, we move the CP Directory to another volume for each system, so the RES pack is shared by both running systems. You can section the definition of the warm and ckpt data, so they can be on different cylinders on RES for each system. Most of the rest of the RES pack can be shared. R/W minidisks needed by both systems can be handled with SYSAFFIN in the CP Directory. Be sure that your CP Owned packs use different slots in the list; have the first six slots be for SYSA and the second six be for SYSB. This puts you in a very nice position to implement CSE, should you choose to do so. AUTOLOG1 can decide what system it is on by various means, and can bring up the necessary guests and service machines for that system. TCPIP will bring up a configuration based on what system it is running on. For service machines that don¹t play well in a shared environment, there¹s SYSAFFIN in the CP Directory. DirMaint makes it easy to maintain the CP Directory in sync on both systems. So my suggestion would be, rather than copying the RES pack for the second system, share the first. It takes some planning, and a lot of beer, but you can run two systems with one head (er... RES), given some forethought. -- .~.Robert P.

Q IPLPARMS only works if you have separate config files to specify (all our systems run from one), and IDENTIFY only works if you've actually set up SYSTEM NETID correctly. It would appear that the Q GATEWAY is the only method that would work consistently. Since we do this in several execs, currently using IDENTIFY, I¹m going to look into modifying them to switch over to using Q GATEWAY. This would make them more portable. -- .~.Robert P.

Re: Fw: a C language question....
Thanks to the help and advice of the good folks on this list, I have
managed to solve my C compiler problem. Turns out that I need to do a
#define _NO_NEW_FUNC_CHECK
at the beginning of the code. That tells the C compler (C/C++ for z/VM,
btw) to actually include the correct code to invoked the getaddrinfo
function, instead of generating a dummy external structure with the name
of getaddrinfo. The dummy structure was the actual source of the error
message the C compiler produced.
Unfortunately, the _NO_NEW_FUNC_CHECK directive is not documented
anywhere in either the C or LE manuals, and I don't have a warm fuzzy
feeling about having to use it. Maybe some one from C or LE development
can add to my understanding of why it's there and what it's meant to do...
The good news is that the code now compiles, loads and runs as I expect
it to.
Thanks again, and have a good one.

Re: Fw: a C language question....
Dave,
In a word: Not a good idea.
That define means that the declaration of the offending function is
omitted and you fall back on the default of all undeclared functions
being something returning int, but that suppresses type checking of
the function arguments.
You need to convince the compiler that you are compiling for the level
that includes the code for the function. 4104 seems to be the
operative here. So a specify the appropriate TARGET parameter to the
compiler.
Then find out why your compiler installation does not default to
TARGET CURRENT as it should and fix that.

Re: autolog profile exec logic
We used to be very concerned with SPOOL file recovery in moving from one configuration to another, but that was when we had real users. Now we don 't have users who need their old spool file, just servers that are creating new console log spool files. I resurrected an old idea about saving DCSSes on a minidisk rather than on a tape that needs to be carried to each system fo r recovery. I have a server that will resave all of the changed DCSSes lat e at night. I haven't yet built the automatic restore to spool area, but it only takes me a minute or two in the middle of our Disaster Recovery to d o it manually. The minidisk is allocated on the sysres volume. The CMS Util ity Feature programs DCSSBKUP and DCSSRSAV work nicely for DCSSes, but not fo r NSSes. I stole the basic idea of CMS and GCS regeneration from the installation script and have a BLDCMS and BLDGCS server can resave these NSSes. /Tom Kern On Thu, 25 Jan 2007 10:37:27 -0600, Mary Anne Link [EMAIL PROTECTED] M wrote: Uh oh.

Re: Fw: a C language question....
John, it turns out that using the #define _NONEW_FUNC_CHECK doe not simply revert to the default of having the undeclared getaddrinfo function return an int. It actually generates the following: #pragma map (getaddrinfo, @@GTADRI) #pragma map (getnameinfo, @@GTNAMI) #pragma map (gai_strerror, @@GAISTR) #pragma map (freeaddrinfo, @@FRADDR) Why it does this, I don't have a clue, and you're right that type checking is clearly not being done here.

Re: How to determine the creation date of open spool file RSCS printer issue
It's good. I just tested with an open spool file and the time is accurate. I wrote a qd using pipe dateconvert with the TOD results from the locate, then closed the file, and the times matched up. So the method is reasonably sound for getting the date opened from an open spool file.

I have written a REXX exec , converted for VM:Operator that checks and reports on spool files older than 2 hours old (except I can't determine that for open spool files) When this happens I have informed the operator to ping the printer, do some RSCS QUERY commands, a DRAIN on the printer, followed by a FLUSH HOLD, a START and then QUERY to see if anything is being printed. If this doesn't help they call the client. Sometimes this works and I'm assuming that the LPD running within that printer is lost in those cases. Second question: Has this ever happened to you?

Re: Fw: a C language question....
Dave, First ... I apologize for the late response. I was out of the office yesterday and I am just getting caught up on all my mail. If you specify the option TARGET(0x4104), sans quotes, on the compile command, you should be able to cleanly compile your source and still use all the appropriate checking and such. As John pointed out, there appears to be a conflict between the way FEATURES.H and NETDB.H work (or don't work) together.

Re: How to determine the creation date of open spool file RSCS printer issue
Note that modern plastic plumbing (specifically, the updated level from Marist that is at least Sublevel 5 - August 25, 2002) has a TOD conversion routine in specs: Add C2T and T2C conversion routines to convert between eight-byte binary TOD clock format and ISO timestamp. A timezone offset in seconds can be specified in parentheses; specify a positive number east of Greenwich. Specify * to use the timezone offset that CP stores on diagnose 0. This should be faster than using dateconv if you have to do a lot of conversions. On 1/25/07, David Kreuter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's good.

Re: z9 systems and tape drives
Ed, you'll need some sort of intermediate device to plug the 3490-F01 into, as the z9-BC doesn't have any SCSI connectors on it. And CP certainly would not support the 3490 as a native tape device. Good luck though..I have heard a rumor that a few years back, IBM managed to hook up a DVD burner to a zSeries box at a Linux trade show and have Linux on zSeries burns DVDs for the attendees.
