Re: z/VM Performance Toolkit for various z/VM 5.x releases
The 5.3 version of PTK depends on new CSL functions that are new in 5.3 for its password validations. The WEB interface surely will not work for that reason. 3270 access (using PERFKIT FCONAPPC FCXRESxx) seems to work. But, then there is that this PTK level supposes to look at data of a 5.3 CP, and you give it another CP level... I would recommend to use the PTK level that came with 5.1. 2008/1/9, Raymond Noal [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Dear List: We are in the process of negotiating a license for IBM's z/VM Performance Toolkit (PTK). I know that my current release of z/VM being 5.3.0 already ships the PTK as a disabled product in the SYSTEM CONFIG file.

Ray, If you can afford a 'few' bucks look at Velocity Software's ESALPS series performance package. You never have to worry about what release of zVM you are using etc. plus you get first class support. You will also be able to see a lot more information.

CMS MOD to compress EXECs
Quoting Wakser, David [EMAIL PROTECTED]: All: Many years ago, I had an EXEC that would compress Rexx EXECs, making them almost impossible to read but entirely executable. Alas, I no longer can find that EXEC. Is there anyone willing to share such a thing? Thanks, in advance. David Wakser Hi, During the week that this thread was posted, I was hospitalized, and am only beginning to make a dent in the you really don't wanna know how many hundreds of accumulated emails (from home only). While I am mostly skimming and deleting, I wanted to mention another solution I remember implementing WBW (way back when...). I don't know if this is still the way CMS works, but at that time an invoked REXX exec was scanned, and 'cached' in an intermediate format which replaced every REXX keyword with a hex value, and also apparently mapped variables somehow. In any case, *someone* (I no longer remember the author's name, but I think I have the material archived at work) wrote a cms module whose source used the DMS... source to perform just that 'pre-interpretation' of the exec, and save the results as a CMS file, with some sort of flag at the beginning that meant 'this exec is ALREADY pre-parsed'. There was a small CMS MOD that went with it, to tell the CMS REXX processor to recognize that flag, and skip the pre-parse step. This method was ***much*** more secure in terms of creating an exec whose workings are not for the public eye, and which the end user could not reasonably hack, modify, etc. Does anyone else remember this mod? or miss it?

Re: CP DEF CNTLUNIT error
There are 11 possible reasons for RC 0105 from DEF CU. You can find the reasons in the back of the z/VM I/O Configuration manual. The z/VM book is SC24-6100 and you will find the explanations on page 323. If this is new, my first guess would be that one or more of the CHPIDs is not defined. You will need to evaluate the possible reasons to see if any of them apply.

Re: CMS MOD to compress EXECs
Thanks for the idea - but I cannot recall such a program. If anyone else responds, I will pursue that. In the mean time I remember it. That's essentially what LIB does; tokenize the exec, transfer it into the user's virtual machine over the IUCV connection between the LIB server and client, and then jump into the REXX interpreter with a pointer set to the preparsed exec. I'll scrounge around; I probably still have it somewhere, although I'm pretty certain the CMS mod will not fit a modern CMS, and it'll take some digging to figure out how to enable it, as that was never a documented interface AFAIK.

Re: Applying Service (PTF)
Run a VMFMRDSK to merge your apply level before running VMFAPPLY. Then do VMFBLD better yet: SERVICE ALL VPTF4385 ...I'm assuming it'll work in zvm510 - been a while using that release!

Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. -- Final Meeting Agenda: 9:00 AM z/VM Performance Update The newest releast of z/VM was generally available on June 29, 2007 and has significant improvements to performance and capacity. This session will describe some of the key performance related changes in the release and how they may apply to your system. Customer workloads on z/VM have continued to grow this decade. The newest release of z/VM was designed to keep you from out growing your z/VM system. The design includes improved scalability in: processor, real memory, networking, and disk I/O. In each of these areas; we'll describe how the system capacity has been increased. The speaker will be Mr. Bill Bitner of the IBM Corporation. 10:30 AMCoffee Break 11:00 AMz/VM: If the Sky is the Limit, How High is the Sky? The earlier z/VM Performance Update discussed extending some limits. This session will take a more in depth look at just how large or wide or tall can you grow a z/VM system. The session will also discuss the type of data you can look at to evaluate how close your system is to those limits. As we look at different subsystems (processors, memory, etc.), we will discuss theoretical and practical limits. Included will be a brief look at some of the ways IBM tests these limits. The speaker will be Mr. Bill Bitner of the IBM Corporation. 12:30 PMLunch Break 1:30 PM Administration and Vendor Announcements 2:00 PM Linux under z/VM Performance Analysis Case Studies This presentation will show Case studies in measuring Linux under z/VM performance. All examples will use ESALPS as the measurement facility. The speaker will be Mr. Barton Robinson of Velocity Software. 3:15 PM Coffee Break and Prize Drawing 3:30 PM Managing Linux under z/VM using ESALPS Managing Linux on a mainframe requires capacity planning, performance analysis, chargeback, and operational support. This presentation presents the technologies employed by Velocity Software's ESALPS. The speaker will be Mr. Barton Robinson of Velocity Software. 4:45 PM Free-for-All Members will attempt to answer any reasonable VM or hardware related questions. If you are having a problem and want to find out if others are experiencing it, or you are installing new hardware or software and want to find out what types of problems others have experienced, here is the place to find out. Members are encouraged to bring ideas for future presentations and speakers to this meeting. -- Please check the WEB site for Map and Directions: http://cavmen.home.comcast.net In addition, you will also find extensive information available on dining and lodging in the Hewitt Associates area.
