Re: RSCS Service Level

[Mike Walter]

Jim,
How are you searching?  Could you be looking at a specific APAR or PTF and 
confusing the (1000) after the PTF with an SLU?  That (1000) indicates a PTF 
that is available, but not on an RSU.

What is the current RSCS Service Level?

When I search IBMLINK 568409601 r320 0202 seems to be the last one.
After that it is 568409601 r320 1000.

I fear that's where he invokes the editor to modify the system

I am pretty sure I would rather edit a copy of the file on my A-disk,
run CPSYNTAX against it. And then,  when CPSYNTAX is happy about it,
rename the active file and copy the new file. That way you also have a
fall-back when the contents of the file is wrong at IPL.  Depending on
your strategy for maintaining the CF2 and CF3, you could probably deal

Re: Stand alone versions of ICKDSF and DDR

[Stephen Frazier]

I have found having ICKDSF on the PARM disk to be very helpful when I suddenly found myself without 
a PAGE disk. I did an IPL from the VM res pack selected the ICKDSF module from the PARM disk, 
formated a PAGE disk, did a second IPL from the VM res pack this time selecting the CP module and VM 
cam up. :)


Don't ask what happened to the PAGE pack. :(

Well, if things are so far gone that you need the SA tools, then the
parm disks are probably toast too, so while it's useful to have them
there, it doesn't really buy you much, IMHO. You're better off having a
1 pack system that you can restore to a spare volume, then use that to
run the non-SA DDR in parallel to restore the rest of the system. It's a
lot faster.

OSA-2 FDDI Problem

card on my system but it didn't work. When i use Get Query command, i see
 
that " There are no OSA modes on CHPID B4 ". 
I would like to know what the name of the image file for FDDI OSA-2 card 
? 
For example there are IOBSNA2 file for Ethernet card ( QD92 ) and IOASNAF

for Fast Ethernet. 
Thanks for your helps.

Re: Stand alone versions of ICKDSF and DDR

[David Boyes]

> Do you recommend an IPL tape for each product?

Either will work, but I make separate tapes and put them in different
drives during recovery. If you're using the SA tools, things are badly
broken, and the SA versions of these utilities are pretty sensitive to
things like Enter at the wrong time, at which point you get to re-IPL.
It's a lot easier to rewind a tape with one utility on it, and you can
IPL the one you want w/o having to go through the other one to get
there. 

Also, remember that the SA versions of these tools wake up at the first
terminal interrupt following IPL and use that as the console. While this
is not as big of a deal as it used to be when there were lots of locally
attached terminals, you do run a small risk of some random anxious user
getting control of the system if they hit Enter at exactly the right
time. The separate tape minimizes (but does not eliminate) that
possibility. 

> Do you recommend running them from an area within the ZVM PARM
disk(s)?

Well, if things are so far gone that you need the SA tools, then the
parm disks are probably toast too, so while it's useful to have them
there, it doesn't really buy you much, IMHO. You're better off having a
1 pack system that you can restore to a spare volume, then use that to
run the non-SA DDR in parallel to restore the rest of the system. It's a
lot faster.

Re: Exec errors

[Brian Nielsen]

If the data being converted by X2D and D2X is the proper input format the
n 
you need to increase the NUMERIC DIGITS value.  I had to do exactly this 

in a recent macro working with 4-byte hexidecimal numbers.

If the data isn't the proper format, then that needs to be fixed first.

Re: Stand alone versions of ICKDSF and DDR

[Thomas Kern]

First thing you have to do is IPL your sysres volume with a LOADPARM of a

console address. This brings up the StandAlone IPL program which allows a

selection of modules, a specification of configuration files, system cons
ole
address etc. Then it is PF9, highlight the module you wish to IPL and the
n
PF11 to select it and then PF10 to load (I think, I do this twice a year 
at
DR exercises).

I had to do something special to get the ICKDSFSA MODULE created, but the

steps were documented somewhere not too hard to find. The DDR module is j
ust
a copy from the S-Disk. Be sure to refresh both of these whenever you go
into production with a new maintenance level. Last maintenance level file
s
on CF2 with latest on CF1.

Re: Stand alone versions of ICKDSF and DDR

[Imler, Steven J]

For those of you who run CA's HiDRO, it too can be IPL'd from the PARM
disk to restore HiDRO backups and/or duplicate DASD volumes without a
running operating system.  Of course like DDR and ICKDSF, it can also be
IPL'd from tape either "Stand Alone" or in a virtual machine.

True. It fixes a bad response to the correct return code from JES. The

Re: Stand alone versions of ICKDSF and DDR

I like your thinking. I do the same except I also have tapes with just ICKDSF on them. During an 
emergency you never want to go looking for a copy of ICKDSF. Or try to remember where you put it. 
So, put it everywhere. :)

Re: Devices Offline

[Schuh, Richard]

Remove the comma following B05F in the second example. Alternatively,
remove the second "Offline_at_IPL"  but leave the device range from the
first.

Re: SSL for TCPNJE on VM

[David Boyes]

AFAIK, RSCS has not yet implemented the SSL protected TCPNJE - there are
protocol changes to enable the encrypted session setup. 

 

You could use a Linux guest on the VM side to run ssh to redirect a
local port on the linux guest to the ssh daemon on MVS/OE and have the
two sides communicate through the redirected port, which would provide
implicit SSL around the normal TCPNJE protocol. Not hard to set up, and
works pretty well.

Has anyone setup a TCPNJE connection from RSCS on VM to JES on a z/OS
system utilizing SSL as the encryption method. 
I would be interested in any documentation pointing to the method and
how to set it up.

You can create other execs for CF2 and CF3.

How do you configure your WAS servers?

[Jon Brock]

(I am cross-posting this message to the linux-390 and IBMVM lists.)

We are going to be getting into using WebSphere and HATS at my shop.  
We have 1 IFL running VM, with Linux guests.  Most of the configuration 
information I have seen presumes standalone boxes rather than a virtualized 
environment.  I have a couple of questions for those of you who run WAS on 
Linux under z/VM, or at least those of you who are inclined to answer:

Do you run your web server(s) on the same image as your WebSphere app server or 
use a separate image strictly for the web server?

How big do you make your WebSphere images; that is, how much virtual storage do 
you assign in USER DIRECT?  How much swap space do you give them?  

Do you cluster your WAS images?  

Thanks in advance for any information.

Jon

Try adding about a dozen comment lines to
the beginning of your config file, stating loudly
(in CAPS!) something like:

REMEMBER TO RUN CPSYNTAX FROM MAINT 193!

I did that and it worked for me. :-)

Alternatively, if you have a fancy XEDIT profile,

Any order will work.  The last statement wins.  So if you have Offline,

Re: MSGTRAP/Trapping MSGs

[Colleen Brown]

When you are talking about IUCV messages the WAKEUP IUCV interrupt handler 
is loaded and running if you have invoked WAKEUP with this option.  The 
messages will be queued until you ask for them with the next WAKEUP 
IUCVMSG invocation. 

If you are talking about VMCF messages they are queued by CP until you 
invoke WAKEUP and ask for them.

Yes, it still is:
User A: start REXXTRY (or simething similar), issue 'WAKEUP (IUCVMSG'
User B: from another user, send a message to the first one;
User A: WAKEUP will end with RC5 and you sit in VM READ
User B: From the other user, send 270 numbered messages
User A: no messages displayed, WAKEUP eat them all
User A: issue #CP SLEEP
User B: Send another 270 messages
User A: messages frrom number 256 to 270 are displayed, CP queued the first
255

In the past, Ross Fried's QIUCV EXEC displayed the number of queued message

Things from 'years ago' sometimes change with no
announcement when they are undocumented internals.

I am not arguing with you, I myself have no vague idea,
just wondering if this old 'feature' is guaranteed to still
be true.
