Re: ERASE SMF DATA on ALTERNATE DISK
If RACFSMF failed, then you can indeed have data on 301 and 302. When the active SMF disk gets full, RACF will not be able to switch and SMF recording stops. So, we created REXX code for our system automation to check for this situation. You could try a simple XAUTOLOG RACFSMF and see if that cleans the situation. Otherwise: from any user with RACF permission to LINK to RACFVM 301 or 302, you can issue CP LINK RACFVM 30x M ACCESS Z and do what you like, such as ERASE... q Q1. Why do some many VM users continuously log ON and OFF do switch userids, where a simple LINK from their own user could be enough? Q2 And, when a LOGON is required (or the best after all) why don't they use LOGON BY, but try they to remember the passwords of all these service machines? Since I'm back in the field for many customers I have to explain this over and over again. Even without RACF, there is a LOGON BY capability. /q 2010/3/10 Alan Altmark alan_altm...@us.ibm.com On Wednesday, 03/10/2010 at 12:11 EST, Martin, Terry R.

Its behavior is governed by the settings in the PROFILE EXEC (SMFPROF EXEC). But, in general, an SMSG RACFVM SMF SWITCH causes RACF to close the active SMF log and detach the disk it is on. You have to look at the SMF CONTROL file on RACFVM's 191 in order to know which disk is CURRENT so you know which disk to go after.

Re: ERASE SMF DATA on ALTERNATE DISK
Thanks Kris this is what I was looking for. I am setting this all up and did have some problems with RACFSMF which gave me data on both 301 and 302 because of a SWITCH. So I wanted to clear the alternate one to test out my changes to RACFSMF. I certainly LINK to other users all of the time but was not sure about if I would hurt anything by LINKING to the 302 disk in write mode and erasing from another user that was the real question/worry.

But that's a long-term solution, not a short-term solution. :-( Go ahead and open a PMR. While it is behaving as documented, it is not behaving in accordance with the system design we put in place a few releases ago when we changed the default CHARDEL and LINEDEL characters to OFF in the IBM-provided SYSTEM CONFIG. A contributing factor to the demise of the remnants of serial line interactions is that code points 0x7C and 0x4A do not always appear as @ and ¢, respectively. On my terminal, I see @ and Ý, as I use code page 924. In Brazil (cp275), you see à and É. Finally, try to explain CHARDEL or LINEDEL to anyone coming out of college. I triple dog dare you. (You do that WHY? and But there's no CENT sign on the keyboard!) At least LINEND is a familiar concept and has some practical use as a command delimiter. On the lighter side, here's a snippet from the code: *AN '@' SIGN WILL BE TREATED AS A LOGICAL BACKSPACE AND *A CENT SIGN WILL CANCEL THE TOTAL LINE AND RESULT IN *A NEW READ TO THE CONSOLE OR CARD READER. The *card reader*? LOL. I don't recall every having an interactive session with the card reader.

Re: IPGATE with RACF
Did you also enable GENCMD for VMBATCH? I also made VMBATCH GENLIST so that it is cached in memory. That requires a refresh whenever you change it.

So, if you have a userid TOOLS, does RAC RLIST VMBATCH TOOLS show you a profile for tools or does it show you the generic one?

GCS Session managers
Currently we are running TUBES/GCS session manager. Well, seems the company that took over Macro/4 is raising prices, as in double. So, we are now looking at other VM/VTAM session managers. Multiple TN3270 sessions really is going to be a hard sell. We have some users that have 10-15 sessions active. Also, we have some coax users So, what products are out there, that: 1. Can be used as VSE Consoles (i.e. dial vse 01f) and can support IPL'ing VSE systems. 2. Can switch between about two dozen sessions. 3. Can keep all the sessions active, if the PC/Terminal is disconnected. 4. Would be nice to do cross domain to VSE VTAM for CICS sessions. 5. Support 3270 Model 2 thru Model 5 terminals. A lot cheaper than $20K per year for Tubes/GCS. Thanks Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting

Re: GCS Session managers
What's the difference whether you hotkey between TUBES sessions or TN3270 sessions? We got rid of VM/VTAM and the mulitsession manager, put in OSA-ICCs, and recently booted Attachmate in favor of Bluezone. Saved lots of money. 1. Any tn3270 session is dialable. Local through the osa-icc looks like local, e.g. xautolog tpftest1 on 40. 2. Alt-Tab hotkeys between tn3270 sessioms 3. If the PC goes away, the sessions go DISCOnnected. 4. tn3270 into your VSE/VTAM 5. All emulators should support those devices. I know PCOM, Rhumba, Reflections, and Bluezone do. 6. You get a web deployable tn3270 client as a bonus.

Re: Zombie RDR file
We have an ancient home-grown batch system that runs on AUTOLOG1 and take s it's command from RDR files sent to it. It's trying to read from the RDR, getting an error and leaving the RDR fi le open. When I re-ipl (because, I'm a PC, I reboot to fix everything) it t ries to read the RDR again, gets the same error showing the same SPOOLID open and so on and so on. I found out that if I PURGE the file and FORCE AUTOLOG1 then the file goe s away but the problem repeats with the next file in the RDR. I was hoping that PURGEing the bad file would just make the system happy but, apparently the files aren't the problem. Thanks all for helping me see that PURGEing is not the solution. Don
Re: GCS Session managers
Hello, We use Multiterm/VM. It's now being supported by Software Diversified Services. We've used it for close to 20 years. We don't have any VSE guest machines, so I don't know if it will meet your VSE requirements. But, it supports an OS/390 console, and access to all of our OS/390 VTAM applications. It's been a very good fit for us.

Re: Getting error when trying to IPL 00C
It is possible that the spool file you are trying to IPL has a header on it. Be sure to use the PUNCH (NOH option. Then use the CP ORDER spid command to bring the spool file you wish to IPL to the top (if there are other files in the RDR spool for that virtual machine).
