Re: How to stop PIPE STARMON
Hello Kris, You are right. I had just changed an existing rexx that was constructed this way. Or rather, I had put a READTO into the rexx just to be able to be able to process the input before it enters a pipeline in the rexx. And indeed it would be better to PEEKTO/READTO or even more so, to check returncodes. I don't mind to delay records here, the stage writes records to disk and doesn't output them to an output stream. But the original, as well as my new one use 'CALLPIPE *:' rather than 'READTO input ; CALLPIPE VAR input,'. So in this case the input is not checked. The jeremy stage did note that inside the rexx stage a callpipe specs was in wait.locate and a lookup wa s in wait.locate but nothing about the returncode of the READTO command. An d I didn't trace the rexx itself in that detail so I didn't notice the rc 1 2 of READTO. I did now and indeed the return code is 12. Just a test with CALLPIPE *: reveals that the CALLPIPE do not end in a returncode so even when the input stream has severed the callpipe *: doesn't notice it and doesn't set the pipeline returncode. Instead it continues processing. So now, with the connector in the callpipe I do need to check my input stream before the callpipe connects to it. Regards, Berry. On Mon, 9 Jun 2008 15:08:05 +0200, Kris Buelens [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 'STREAMSTATE INPUT' should not be required here... My guess is that process has set the returncode to 0, so your do-loop condition check is not testing the return code of READTO. The pseudocode also suggests your stage does delay the record. You should code it like this: 'PEEKTO INPUT' /* Get first record, without consuming it */ Do while rc=0 process 'READTO' /* consume the handled record */ 'PEEKTO INPUT' /* get next record or stop */ end
Re: DDR Minidisk Restore Problem.
Thanks Kris, Yes, I realize this.nbsp; However being this is being done on a second level system and I know that no one else is using these minidisks except me, we just let it go with MW...never in the prod system.

Re: HOWTO: Allow access without authentication from web interface to z/VM Performance Toolkit with RACF z/VM 5.3?
Hi Sam, Was hoping someone would have a better idea by now or something changed in PerfKit since FL510VM63706 or We don't use Toolkit anymore, but the identify was fronted by some simple HTML in the module. It wasn't terribly difficult to code a zap and change the behavior. Doing so, you will need to build a new zap for each new release, and of course, you'd never contact the software vendor about anything odd coming out of the zap'd module.. We set up a FCONRMT PASSFILE with one entry, e.g. PASSALL PASSWORD In FCONX $PROFILE: FC MONCOLL WEBSERV ON TCPIP TCPIP 8081 IDTEST FILE FCONRMT PASSFILE A2 and zap'd the PERFKIT MODULE to: Chg wait 1st panel fr 3 to 1 sec Remove userid/password prompt Store userid/password in module Change Submit button to Continue Default to 40 50 32 24 scr lines It was 77 VER/REP/LOG, NAME and END lines with 93 comment lines to keep me on track. If this doesn't violate some software fine print, (we'll hear shortly if it does..X-8^) I could send you off list my last zap; understanding, that it was specific to FL510VM63706 (nearly 3 years old) and things move around.

IP printing from VM
Guys, This is probably a stupid question, but it is getting urgent and I don't have any more time to play with it. We are trying to print to IP printers for the first time. This looks like it should have been a straight forward change; CMS users used to send output to type SNA3270P printers and now they want to send it to IP attached printers instead. There seems to be many different ways of specifying the printer name and IP address of the target printers and I chose what looks like the simplest. In the RSCS config I have coded - LINKDEFINE LPR1 TYPE LPR AST FORM * PARM LPR1 EXIT=LPRXONE EP='C=LPR' ITO=0 PR=QEEPLE22 US=YES HOST=10.120.72.245 LINKDEFINE LPR2 TYPE LPR AST FORM * PARM LPR2 EXIT=LPRXONE EP='C=LPR' ITO=0 PR=QEEPLE29 US=YES HOST=10.120.73.222 I am using the LPRXONE exit supplied in RSCSEXIT LOADLIB and the RSCSLPR CONFIG supplied with TCP/IP, because I don't (think I) have any additional requirements.. RSCS starts the printer links OK and then immediately deactivates them, presumably because I have specified ITO=0. So far, so good (?), but when I try to send a print file to them using LPR exec, RSCS rejects the file because it has an invalid destination address. I get the same result whether I use the printer name or the IP (host) address. LPR exec insists on using the default linkid (LPR) coded in the exec. I'm obviously missing something in the configuration of these things. Do I *need* a nicknames file ? I thought that these were one of the many options, rather than compulsory.

I'm not sure why the name of the link would need to be different to the printer name specified in the PARM statement, so I have changed that. Simple answer is that RSCS interprets the link name, and the remote LPD interprets the printer name field. There's no connection between the two naming spaces. If the remote end doesn't get a name it recognizes, then printing won't happen.

We started with vSwitch grants in SYSTEM CONFIG, then moved to reading lists of Linux guests and dynamically granting them to the vSwitch. We then switched (no pun inteneded) to COMMAND statements in each CP Directory to grant the vSwitch and couple the NIC to the vSwitch. This seemed to be the most consistent and least intrusive method of emulating an open vSwitch, and reduced the need for adding users or config lines to other files. Except for one slight drawback: If the two COMMAND lines are in the user's CP Directory entry, then the grant is done, followed by the couple, and everything is happy. If the same two COMMAND lines are in a profile, included in the user's CP Directory entry, then it appears that either the commands are executed in the wrong order, the grant never gets executed, the grant executes but with the wrong or no userid, or the system doesn't allow the grant to complete before attempting the couple. In any case, the user does not get a working NIC coupled to the vSwitch. Could someone verify this behavior on their system?

Re: IP printing from VM
OK, I'll bite. I was hoping someone else would ask. How do you code a continuation on a TAG stmt and is it only for the RSCS use of TAG. I looked in RSCS HELP as well as CP HELP and see no mention of continuation. Statements in the RSCS config can be continued on multiple lines. The default continuation character is #. However, TAG is not a configuration file statement. By the way, the other threads in this append chain. You still need to tell RSCS what link to process the file on. The LPR exec uses link name LPR by default. Per chance, did you group LPR1, LPR2, etc together as ndoe LPR? Finally. RSCS supplies a similar exec called PPS that you may want to try out. HELP PPS or PPS ? will provide additional details. Best Regards, Les Geer IBM z/VM and Linux Development

Re: FW: IP printing from VM
Ian, When I get a printer that doesn't work, I like the LPR command (direct to the printer from your cms session) with the Trace option to find out if the printer actually works and prints before I add it to RSCS. Sometimes we have firewall holes that need to be punched or something else is up with it. This will show you that you can actually get there and that the printer talks back to you. LPR PROFILE EXEC A (HOST 10.1.11.111 trace Then you can proceed with adding the printer to RSCS and setting up something for the users to use (spool prt , tag device, maybe wrapped in a nice exec ).

But since IODEF asked for a control unit and we had no idea at all what a 1403 printer control unit was called, we settled for a 3203 since it appears that the 3203 CU was the 3203. 3203's sort of complicate things, however, because of FCB and UCS image loading.

Re: Question for old-timers
Jim, Is your VM printer printing through RSCS ? You could have JES send the output to RSCS for printing. of course you have to have RSCS talking to your 2nd lvl system Bill Munson VM System Programmer 201-418-7588 Jim Bohnsack [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU 06/10/2008 04:00 PM Please respond to The IBM z/VM Operating System IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU To IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU cc Subject Question for old-timers We're doing some work on a 2nd level MVS system for use at a D/R site and the MVS sysprog wanted to get some printed output.

Re: Question for old-timers
Thanks everyone who responded. The 2821 is the winner. The number of responses kind of goes along with an observation I've made at SHARE and have mentioned to IBM. That observation is that we mainframe sysprog types are getting old. We're going to be retiring soon-I'm first :-D The mainframe isn't going to be leaving the computing scene as quickly as we are. I know that IBM and others have said that they are addressing the problem and perhaps I haven't noticed.
