Re: Possible Causes of HCPMFS057I
This is the response from SMSG when the system detects that you are not authorised to use that command. Here is what the SMSG help says: 4. If an external security manager (ESM) is installed on your system, you may not be authorized to enter this command. However, messages sent to or from the system operator are not subject to authorization checking by the ESM. For additional information, contact your security administrator. I hope this is sufficient for you to determine where the problem is. Ray Mansell Pat Dixon wrote: Receiving a HCPMFS057I User not authorizied.

Checked the help facility but no reasonable explanation found other than not authorized The user is not authorized. What could cause this error or what is it that the user does not have authorization? Authorization in this context is related tot he VMCF programming model, not directory or ESM authorization. This means one of two things: 1. The target of your SMSG has SET SMSG ON and has not performed the VMCF AUTHORIZE function, or 2. The target has SET SMSG IUCV and has not established an IUCV connection to the *MSG system service. If you tried to do a low-level VMCF SEND (diagnose 0x68) to the target user, you would have received RC=5. Under the covers, the SMSG command invokes the VMCF SEND function. All of that amounts to the target user losing or failing to establish its communications path. This was recently seen in DIRMAINT after the server issued a RACF command (APAR taken). The RAC command uses VMCF. Because DIRMAINT was using it for SMSG support, all of a sudden things begin failing because a VMCF UNAUTHORIZE was issued. (VMCF is not a sharable facility the way IUCV is.) I would suggest submitting a Reader's Comment Form so that the documentation can be clarified. If this involves a supported IBM product, you may need to contact the Support Center. (This just in. Cyberarchaeologists last week uncovered evidence of a previously-unknown civilization. It appears that they were bipedal and used tools. The team's enthusiasm was dampened, however, when artifacts built from VMCF were discovered in what appeared to be a garbage dump.)

Re: Possible Causes of HCPMFS057I
That's usually a case of the target userid's having set smsg to on or iucv, but not running anything which has set up the proper linkage to receive them.

Hi Mike I am not a VM expert by any means, but here goes: A user issues 3 SMSG commands to a disconnected machine. This service machine has the ability to send files (monitor and account data) to MVS or write files to a users CMS disk. The SMSG issues a TRANSFER to the service machine providing the file names and their locations. In this instance, the files are being written to a CMS disk. The first SMSG command executes successfully, but the second and third get the HCPMFS057I message. From what I am seeing in other responses on the LISTSERV, it looks like a VMCF AUTHORIZE issue.

Thanks Given your description and Mike's earlier response abut a missing VMCF handler, the following possibilities occur to me: 1) The service machine tries to process the first SMSG, but encounters a problem and fails less than gracefully (perhaps its disk is full?) 2) The service machine disables its VMCF handler whilst processing a request. Processing the request takes a long time, so the subsequent two SMSGs fail. Or something along those lines. If it were me, I would take a close look at your service machine to see what's going on there. Good luck! Ray Mansell
Re: Possible Causes of HCPMFS057I
Probably what has happened is a locally written service routine (REXX) was running and waiting for an SMSG to come in. When the first SMSG came in, it dropped its IUCV interface - so subsequent SMSGs were rejected. I typically use the WAKEUP MODULE to collect SMSGs. It loads as a nucleus extension, so even when the host program is off doing other things WAKEUP stays resident and continues to collect subsequent IUCV msgs, which can be processed whenever it is convenient for the host program. I know a lot of people are using the PIPE STARMSG stage to process IUCV messages these days, but does that stay resident to collect SMSGs after the PIPE terminates and passes control to the host program? -Mike -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dixon, Patricia A Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 11:19 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Possible Causes of HCPMFS057I Hi Mike I am not a VM expert by any means, but here goes: A user issues 3 SMSG commands to a disconnected machine.

Re: Possible Causes of HCPMFS057I
Hi Harry, That's what I thought, and it makes sense. I seem to recall writing some REXX programs a few years back using PIPE and STARMSG to handle the communications between virtual machines and not liking that the PIPE must remain active, always, or you drop the communications layer of the programming. The nice thing about WAKEUP is that it stays resident as a nucleus extension unless/until you explicitly terminate it. Of course, at the end of the day use whichever method works best for you. :) -Mike -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of A.

Yikes, that's *me* -- now what!!? :-) If you're the author, and still have the problem and can't figure it out, we're going to need to see some or all of code on the server.

Re: XRC use and z/VM
We are running XRC under z/VM 5.2 and it's running just fine. Issues we had were all z/OS related and were fixed by applying maintenance and making sure that enough memory was allocated to the virtual machine (we had problems with z/OS dying when XRC exausted all memory for it's buffers over a couple of days time). The timestamping concern you mention should be addressed by maint - check out the XRC PUT bucket (if you haven't done so already), also make sure that you have all maint related to the DASD boxes on each end applied (should be a PUT bucket available for them as well) - also, if you havent checked the PUT buckets in a while then you might find some new info has been added. It's also a good idea to run an SMP/E ERRSYSMOD report to see if you have any outstanding errors on your systems that relates to this (but make sure you receive the latest hold data first if you haven't done it in a while).

Re: XRC use and z/VM
Interesting. I keep getting mixed messages from IBM. It sounds like you are talking about z/OS under z/VM?? I was talking about z/VM itself in its own LPAR and its Linux guests but z/OS running the show and just including some z/VM volumes that it could see in the i/o gen. Linux does timestamp its i/o from what I was told but it was still unclear whether on minidisks rather than full vols if it counted. I was also told that VM has been engineered to do PPRC and not XRC and to look at that solution instead (1800 miles makes that hard).

Hope this helps. |-+--- | | Marcy Cortes| | | [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | sfargo.com | | | Sent by: The IBM| | | z/VM Operating | | | System | | | [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | .EDU | | | | | | | | | 10/11/2006 01:43 PM | | | Please respond to | | | The IBM z/VM| | | Operating System| | | | |-+--- --- --| | | | To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU | | cc: (bcc: James Moling/IR/FMS) | | Subject: XRC use and z/VM | --- --| Any issues with VM 5.1 or 5.2 and XRC?

I seem to recall writing some REXX programs a few years back using PIPE and STARMSG to handle the communications between virtual machines and not liking that the PIPE must remain active, always, or you drop the communications layer of the programming. The nice thing about WAKEUP is that it stays resident as a nucleus extension unless/until you explicitly terminate it. That's because WAKEUP is a hammer, so everything looks like a nail. PIPE is a Swiss Army Knife, which isn't very useful for hitting screws into walls, but open the screwdriver blade, and you'll be much happier. Pipelines moves data through a process, and much cleaner implementation of psuedo-multi-tasking process that multiple SMSG and spool files implies than a Rexx loop. It may take twisting your head around, but once you get past that, it is much more natural. Rob will hurt me, but you can easily do a simple Rexx stage that processes the looping structure you are use to seeing. You just can't do PIPE STARMSG | stem r. do i = 1 to r.0 but something like PIPE (end ?) STARMSG | a: locate /MSG/ | one process... ? a: | second proc... /ahw Of course, at the end of the day use whichever method works best for you. :) -Mike -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of A.

Of course not. The Pipe has terminated. That's why you process the message in the Pipe. Remember that pipelines are about processing the data, not to be inside of a Rexx Do loop. Turn your Rexx Do loop into a series of Pipe stages and all works for the best. -Mike /ahw
