Controlling MONWRITE and the size of its 191 disk
Hello, I'm using Performance toolkit and would like to use the batch interface. I've set up the Performance toolkit batch commands however my problem now is the MONITOR DATA file. The size of the file grows quickly, it about 1 hour the file consumes 90 cyls My goal is to collect the data on a ongoing basis, at least for a few days... Any help on setting the size of MONWRITE's 191 disk and a method to keep a few days worth of data would be appreciated. For now I want to monitor CPU and Storage usage. Thanks Brian

Hi, Brian. Go here: http://www.vsoft-software.com/downloads.html and grab the SCHEDULE package, written by Simon Kharnas. It's a very good, imho, scheduling package. Hamilton, Brian wrote: Thanks Brian -- DJ V/Soft

2007/11/1, Rich Smrcina [EMAIL PROTECTED]: And there still is, check 'CMS Commands and Utilities'. I somehow disagree: z/VM only includes WAKEUP, the heart of VMUTIL indeed; but not the execs to drive it (DTR$WAIT co) Have a look at my RxServer package, it includes VMUTIL, compatible with the old one, but more clever. http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/descript.cgi?RXSERVER -- Kris Buelens, IBM Belgium, VM customer support

Thanks, can you let me know what settings are active for Monitor. Q MONITOR should display this.

And if you're looking for a supported product that's easy to use and has additional functions, take a look at Operations Manager for z/VM (http://www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/zvm/operations/index.html) For the scheduling function, look at the DEFSCHD command on page 54 (in Chapter 6) of the Installation and Administration Guide available at: http://www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/zvm/operations/library.html Tracy Dean, IBM
LISTFILE of a sfs directory?
I'm trying to get a list of files in a sfs directory into a pipe. LISTFILE doesn't seem to have been updated to handle dirids and FILELIST can't give a plain text version. Is there in fact anyway to get a plain list without accessing a directory? ian ... Ian S.

Re: LISTFILE of a sfs directory?
Thanks Rob. listdir does the job. For others, syntax is: LISTDIR dirid must be first stage of a pipeline (How come its never been documented?

Harry Williams posted SFSL REXX some years ago. It may be on the VM Download site. If not, I have a copy that Harry probably would allow me to post or send to you.

Re: z/TPF List Server
There's 3(!) contenders over at Yahoo Groups, plus a jobs group. With the exception of the later, which is heavily moderated to keep out the spammers, the noise to signal ratio was too high when I looked at them a while back. The traffic is just too low, for the reasons already given. There used to be a forum on Al's site, but following the closure of his magazine his server died and as I'd been the only person to access it in months he was reasonably disinclined to repair it :( Given the move to z/tpf though I do think one is called for. I can set it up but not sure how to get the word out to people. ian ... -- Original Message -- Received: Tue, 30 Oct 2007 11:38:25 PM GMT From: Schuh, Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: z/TPF List Server That confirms what I was thinking. I have never heard mention of a TPF list, and I have been lurking on the fringes of the TPF (PARS, ACP, ACP/TPF) world since the mid 1970s. Personal contacts and the development lab seem to obviate the need for a list. If you look at the number of TPF shops, it is quite small and dwindling (with the pending merger of WorldSpan and Galileo) compared to the number of VM, MVS, VSE or Linux licenses. With the smaller universe, a list really is not needed.
