Re: Is there a JAVA implementation for CMS?
I was part of a Redbook team about Java on CMS: SG24-5148, VM/ESA *Network Computing with Java and NetRexx* - April 1998 (I still have a LIST3820 of it and the tools we wrote for it, BFSLIST for example). As I thought that most of the public for this redbook would be VMers, the book became more of a NetRexx on CMS than a Java on CMS. There was indeed a NetRexx compiler to create Java class files form the NetRexx sources. This compiler is not related to JIT 2010/9/28 Les Koehler vmr...@tampabay.rr.com I seem to recall that NetRexx would run on CMS, back before I retired. That would require a compiler and JVM, yes? Les Alan Ackerman wrote: Maybe. There was discussion at the time that CMS Java needed a JIT (Just In Time) compiler and did not have one. Even with much faster mainframes, I think this would be a problem. If anyone has time and resources to test this, I'd love to hear how it works out. I 'm not doing CMS performance any more, alas.

Right, so even better chance that java on cms would be more than acceptable. Too bad there's no business case. John P.

Re: How is LOADPARM obtained?
Interesting question that now has my curiosity up. Before I never cared enough to wonder about it. Are you talking about a virtual IPL ? or maybe the real IPL of VM ? Does it really matter ? My first guess is that the LOADPARM data is stored in low memory and a register is passed to the OS similar to when you CALL a sub-program. I'm curious to see the responses ! Thanks, Bubba
Re: How is LOADPARM obtained?
HCLSAL is indeed provided and maintained with source code (ASSEMBLE), on MAINT's 194 disk. It obtains the LOADPARM from a call to HCPGLPRM (HCPGLP), for which source code is not readily available. It is possible that if one spent the time (on my To Do list) to download the Restricted Source Code (as documented in the z/VM installation materials), some form of HCPGLP source code may be available, perhaps in PL/X or another restricted language. So it depends more on the reason you need to know from where you can get the LOADPARM. If you can call HCPGLP the way that HCPSAL does, you're good to go.

Re: How is LOADPARM obtained?
Mike, It falls into the category of, 'Just curious'. I suspect that along with you and many (most?) others on this list I'm from a generation that's allergic to, 'smoke and mirrors'. I'd always assumed that the answer was simple, obvious and documented in Principles of Operation. I had occasion this morning to be looking at IPL (in P-o-O) (I'm doing some teaching soon and wanted to be sure of the sequence) and that made me think to look to find out how LOADPARM works (in case somebody asks the question) ... but I couldn't find it! (Possibly I've missed it but I did do quite a thorough search.) I have no actual immediate requirement to access the LOADPARM myself, and I doubt if anybody will ask, but ... I just like to know these things! :-)
Re: How is LOADPARM obtained?
It is obtained using a mechanism that is not published beyond its use in Linux. The best you can do is RTFC, and it is not a trivial process. Alan Altmark Thankyou, Alan, for a definitive reply. What a strange thing to keep secret! Regards Jeff
Re: How is LOADPARM obtained?
It uses the SERVC opcode which does things like read/write to the HMC, set masks to enable/disable signals like powerdown (how Linux intercepts the signal shutdown command), get loadparm, get configuration information etc. While some of the function is generic, I believe some is model specific.

Re: ICKDSF - can it format/label cyl 0 on a 3390-A (EAV)??
Look for ICKDSF APAR PK56092.
Re: Applying Maintenance - Best Practice
Or, add directory entries for those (and other DASD you wish) to the CP
Directory such as:
USER -540RES- 64M 1G G 64
*UI=Server, Disaster Recovery supportGRP=IS
*
MDISK A00 3390 0001 540RES R
MDISK F00 3390 END 540RES R
Every DASD we have (other than spares waiting to be allocated) as a userid
following that format. Sysprogs can LINK to any of them to perform their
work.
You could also use CP DEFINE MDISK, but that requires a little more work
getting all the privileges and directory options straight.

Re: How is LOADPARM obtained?
Hmmmfrom the website: Multiple Configuration Boot Support The multiboot patch adds the ability to IPL different configurations from the same device using the LOADPARM parameter on VMs IPL command or the Load Parameter field on the Hardware Management Console. It is especially useful when IPLing zLinux in an LPAR. You may setup several configs in /etc/zipl.conf, like a known good one, a test one, and one that IPLs into single user mode. Then, if something untoward happens while testing, you have alternatives to get zLinux back up. You can even maintain 1 zipl.conf to be used by several LPARs and/or VM guests. Frank M.

Re: Applying Maintenance - Best Practice
Having 2 Page and 2 Spool is small enough that it's extremely reasonable to make that much available to your 2nd level test system. SPOOL is all or nothing when DDRing them. Copy them both whenever you want to be sure your 2nd level test system has current versions of what i s in 1st level Spool space. Mostly you probably only care about the SDF spool files, and they generally only get updated when you apply maintenance. And you are correct - you'll need to do a FORCE start. PAGE can be just some, as long as you have enough for the paging load in your 2nd level system. You don't need to copy the Page volumes each time. One time is good forever. Again, with only 2, copy them both and be done with it.

Bad things will happen when you IPL your 1st level system and it uses the wrong volume. For testing 2nd level you want to create a userid with MDISKs defined starting at cylinder 1. Then DDR your 1st level packs to the 2nd level MDISKS. The archives contain past discussions on the how why of t h is and other topics (such as changing the volsers of your 1st level system) . For simplicity, copy your PAGE SPOOL volumes to your 2nd level tes t system too. If DASD space is limited you have to get alot more complicated.

Re: Is there a JAVA implementation for CMS?
Unfortunately, if you find the old CMS JAVA, I'm sure it will NOT use IEE E floating point. A decent CMS Java Virtual Machine with a JIT would perhaps run very well. But who is going to write it? It's not going to come from Sun/Oracle. Sun doesn't even provide one for the M acintosh -- Apple does. There are a heck of a lot more Macs than copies of CMS. I don't know whether CMS JAVA truly supported multi-threading, though, wh ile Java does. Could lead to problems porting Java to CMS. Does anyone know? I gather that with NetRexx, Mike Cowlishaw tried to fix the mistakes in R EXX. At least he replaced do/end with loop/end. (For the looping cases of 'do'.) In other ways he s ignificantly enhanced REXX. I don't think NetRexx is upwardly compatible with REXX, though. I suspect there are far more programmers literate in Java than in REXX. P erhaps not among mainframers, though. Does anyone know how much NetRexx is used in z/OS? My employer's standard language is Java. Another strike against CMS.

Re: Virtualizing a z10
Our Capacity Planning folks reported that the upgrading from the z9 to th en z10 saved the bank beaucoup bucks. I think the same thing will happen going from z10 to z196 . Did IBM raise the price of the entry-level machines? That might explain t he difference in our viewpoints. We are still running z/VM 5.4.0. I'm not sure what happened to the plan t o move to z/VM 6.1.0. There isn't much in z/VM 6.1.0 that we want.
