FTP of CMS file as attachment - PJBR
Hi list, I would like to ask if there's a way to e-mail a CMS file as an attachment and not as the text itself. We have been trying to achieve this but haven't succeeded yet. All we get is the file as text, not as attachment. Any help will be very welcome. Thanks in advance, Raul Barón Dpto. Sistemas CALCULO S.A. E-mail: jba...@calculo-sa.es
VMBackup question
We have installed a Luminex virtual tape system. My question isn't how to make it work. It seems to be doing fine. The only problem and the reason for my question is that I have the virtual tapes defined as 3490C tapes. My quandary is the fact that I have the virtual tapes defined as the VMBackup Primary Resource Pool and and a 3494 robot with 3590 drives, located in a different location, as the VMBackup Copy Resource Pool. It works just fine for backups. Restores, however, result in VMBackup picking a 3590 tape rather than one of the 3490 tapes. I know, or think I know, that I can get around that using VMBackup Job Template files and specifying the input tape volser and/or density. That's a little awkward. I want the restores to be able to be done from the VMBackup screens so our admin. people can do them. The VMBackup System Prog. Ref says that the tapes for a restore are chosen from a density preference list with the higher density tapes, naturally, being chosen first. That's logical, but not what I want. Does anyone have any idea as to how to force VMBackup to use a different list? I have a question open the CA but I was hoping that someone has faced the same question .

For email not FTP, use the MAILIT package from the IBM Downloads page.

Re: VMBackup question
You VM:Backup System Programmer is correct ... the higher density media will always be preferenced in the volser list sent to VM:Tape. The simplest thing I can think to do is use a VM:Tape COMMAND EXIT that swaps the 2 volsers in the list. Alternatively, I suppose you could outcode (CHECKOUT) the 3590 tapes, I think that would prevent them from being selected (but you'd need to remember to check them back in before they can be scratched for reuse).

Devising the conditions where one might cause the other problems could be difficult when resources are limited. First-hand experience in the real world would be a much better measure. There was discussion about this on the list in July 2008. We used to have a setup like this where the PROFILE EXEC of SFS1 would access its directory in SFS2 and refer to that file mode on the DMSPARMS. My problem with that was that when SFS2 was restarted for some reason, the directory was released in SFS1 and nothing would help access it (apart from poking in SFS control blocks to issue a CMS command to fix it). Sue pointed out that the proper way is to refer to the SFS directory rather than the file mode. So the only thing to take care of is that you schedule the control data backup often enough that it does not happen by accident when you have the other SFS down for service. Rob

Re: VMBackup question
An heavily stripped-down version of our VM:Tape Command Exit is pasted
below. We do quite a bit more in our full exit (e.g permitting
operations to redirect VM:Backup recall requests to different campuses on
different drives at will, handling Disaster Recovery recall mounts
automatically, etc.), but this stripped down example should get you
started.
You should probably adjust a few of the variables at the top (VMBonly=,
VMBsvms=, VMAsvms=) to meet your specific needs. I find that real-world
examples help a bit more than most doc, often considering situations that
might not be obvious from the doc.

Re: VMBackup question
Steve--That wasn't the answer I wanted to hear but is the type I expected. We don't use VM:Tape, just VM:Backup. A work-around I've thought of is to do the backups, which happen in the middle of the night, in 2 separate runs. First a backup specifying the 3590 tape pool and then another backup specifying the virtual tape pool. They wouldn't be exact but at least the taking the default on a restore of the most recent backup would pull the virtual tapes rather than the 3590 cartridges. On the other hand, I'll have to talk with the group to see if it really makes any difference as to which gets pulled for a restore. The result is going to be the same. One purpose of the virtual tape was to allow us to get an old 3494 out of use and off maintenance. Mission accomplished, even tho not esthetically pleasing.

DB2 Problem
I don't believe that this is a DB2 Server code problem, just how I'm coding it, is a problem G. I have a table, that a process adds records to it. On an hourly basis, I kick off a job that copies all the records in that table, inserts them into another table, and then deletes all records in the first table, all within the same LUW. However, if the process that adds records to the table, is adding records during this merge/purge process, some records are deleted without being merged. I didn't think that was suppose to happen. After stripping out all the other code, and coding the remaining code in a DB2 Batch Utility step, I see that I do have a problem.

Re: REXX SOCKET statement question
Yes, I saw that (about an hour after I posted to the list). We are consistently getting our data cut off at 2920 bytes and can't figure out why. Packet size in TCPIP is 8992. I've left the maxlength field blank and I've plugged in 1 and still get the same results. We're checking now to see if there is a character string of some kind that the SOCKET RECV is interpreting as end of data. The SOCKET program does receive the total amount being transmitted to it, but it appears to be in 2920 byte blocks.

VMSES/E service application backout
Hi, I did an oops. So to speak. I am running a z/VM 5R4.0 (service level 0801) system and downloaded the latest RSU and COR for it. In the fine tradition of measuring once and cutting twice, I put the COR on first which has some prerequisites that I believe are in the RSU. Oops. I ran the following: -SERVICE ALL COR_DOCS (against the COR documentation envelope) -VMFUPDAT SYSMEMO -SERVICE ALL COR_FILE (against the COR envelope) It moved a bunch of stuff around and ultimately gave me: ST:VMFAPP2102I 19 of 19 PTFs processed ST:VMFAPP2105I VMFAPPLY processing completed unsuccessfully. ST:The Apply list HCPVM contains 26 PTFs. ST:7 PTFs were already applied. ST:9 PTFs passed validation. ST:0 PTFs were included and passed validation. ST:0 PTFs were excluded or require excluded PTFs. ST:10 PTFs failed WN:VMFAPP2103W The Software Inventory has not been updated ...among other things. So I've hung myself on a SERVICE RESTART such that it wants me to fix that which I have hosed up by getting ahead of myself before moving on. Which I suppose I could do, but the RSU is really big and I guess I would have to be pulling pieces or go re-order the ones I need etc. It would be really nice at this point to just dump what I did and start over with the RSU. Or force through what was good on the COR, then apply the RSU, then reapply the COR. I _do_ have a full system backup, but it would sure be nice to not have to roll back any user's disks and then have to monkey them back around. I suppose I could restore it and clip it and then just grab MAINT's minidisks instead. Suggestions? Any gun/foot warnings I should be thinking about? Thanks.

Re: Control Data Backups
Mine are 23 3390-03s for one, only 15 in the other. Unfortunately, the user community is small but active. There are several CDBs in any given day. I think what I will do is create a third filepool whose only purpose is to host the backups from the other two. That would simplify the coordination of the backups. Put each on a 2-hour CDB cycle with one on the even numbered hour and the other on the odd. That frequency would probably be often enough to keep LUWs from ever being suspended.

Re: VMBackup question
I don't think I can define them at a higher density. It's been too long (thankfully) since I've been in that depth of channel programming and working to the real device. I had to code (3490C on the TAPE WVOL1 command to label tapes that would work. I may be able to change them in VMBackup now that they are labeled, however. I'll try. The purpose of creating backups with virtual tapes and real 3590 cartridges is just for separation of the backup media. We had (have) two 3494 robots a mile or more apart on the campus. Wouldn't help much in a nuclear blast but then I wouldn't care. Actually, I may because I now live and work 1,500 miles from either backup site. No danger of a flood on the campus. It would have to float Noah's ark. Jim Michael Coffin wrote: Can the Luminex virtual tapes be defined as a higher density than the "real" 3590's?

We don't use VM:Tape, just VM:Backup. A work-around I've thought of is to do the backups, which happen in the middle of the night, in 2 separate runs. First a backup specifying the 3590 tape pool and then another backup specifying the virtual tape pool. They wouldn't be exact but at least the taking the default on a restore of the most recent backup would pull the virtual tapes rather than the 3590 cartridges. On the other hand, I'll have to talk with the group to see if it really makes any difference as to which gets pulled for a restore. The result is going to be the same. One purpose of the virtual tape was to allow us to get an old 3494 out of use and off maintenance. Mission accomplished, even tho not esthetically pleasing.
