Re: Mandatory ESMs?
At the risk of ignoring his assertion about the length of this thread, Richard has provided the perfect opening for me to mention Open Object Rexx. :-) That's the Open Source evolution of IBM Object REXX, supported by a team of developers lead by Rick McGuire (an original developer of IBM OREXX), is freakishly powerful, and currently runs on every major platform (32/64-bit Windows, Mac, UNIX/Linux, looking into Android) -- except z/VM and Z/OS. Believe me, it's not for lack of desire, interest, or love of CMS. We simply don't have access to the necessary resources (hardware and wetware) in order to effect a proper port of the (predominately C/C++) code. If you would be interested in contributing in some way to the effort to port ooRexx to IBM's Flagship Operating System (and/or z/OS ;-) please go to the ooRexx website www.oorexx.com and contact the Project Manager, David Ashley. You may find you don't need PL/I as much as you think... :-) -Chip- On 12/17/10 03:30 Richard Troth said: This thread has gone on too long. If you want tools for CMS, make a biz case or make the tools. We should leverage open source. We should take advantage of things IBM *is* developing, such as the BFS resident critters. ALL of the programs I have compiled on USS have dropped right in to OpenVM. (one man's experience; YMMV; actual mileage will probably be less)

Re: Expanded storage question
Thanks, I do concur the 50% recommendation is a solid one. As we have experienced that pain point more than once, this system had an expected spike last night when we started an additional 36 4G linux guest s which are being brought down this morning at which point we will re asses s. This is also the first system we started using mod27's for paging, so we are keeping a strained eye on it.
Re: Expanded storage question
Current paging is a mere 1000 pps, we just moved from 40 mod9's to 18 mod 27's This is an ugly system with 300+ linux guests defined, 200+ logged on an d our guests running multiple was JVMs run anywhere from 1Gb-9.5Gb Just keep chanting it ain't prod , it ain't prod

z9 clock speed
A question came up today about the clock speed of the various System z models. The context is some application software that's licensed by the speed of the CPU. Apparently, there's a big price difference (measured in millions) if the speed is over 1.5 GHz or so. I dug around on IBM's web site and found that z10's have a clock speed of 4.3 GHz and z196's have a clock speed of 5.2 GHz. I was unable to find the speed of a z9. I recall from the z10 announcement that the z10 had a major increase in speed. I'm thinking that the z9 was under 2 GHz. Does anyone know the speed of the z9, or where I can find that information? The glossy announcements of the z10 on IBM's web site have been replaced by glossy announcements of the z196. If it makes a difference, I'm interested in z9 EC, not BC. For this purpose, relative overall performance doesn't matter. The software price is based on the speed of the chip. If the price is also based on the number of CPU's, then any savings on the slower speed might be offset by costs for more CPU's. First, we need to know the speed.

Re: Curiousity question - Changing the status area
I don't see how you could do that without some major CP mods. What gets displayed on the screen is controlled by LOGO CONFIG from the system parm disk. What goes on the screen is there before a user logs onto the system. I do the type of thing that I think your user is requesting in the emulator configurator files that are on my PC and are tied to the emulator I use, in my case, VISTA from Tom Brennan. I suspect that most or all of the available emulators give you some kind of option such as that. I am generally logged onto 2 lpars, with each showing my personal userid, the MAINT id, and the Performance Toolkit id, PERFSVM. In addition I usually have a screen up for a 2nd level development id. On each screen, I display the system that the display is on as well as the userid. The important thing, however, is that it's controlled by the emulator and not CP. I think in the case of VISTA, it has to be on the top line of the screen.

The context is some application software that's licensed by the speed of the CPU. Apparently, there's a big price difference (measured in millions) if the speed is over 1.5 GHz or so. I dug around on IBM's web site and found that z10's have a clock speed of 4.3 GHz and z196's have a clock speed of 5.2 GHz. I was unable to find the speed of a z9. I recall from the z10 announcement that the z10 had a major increase in speed. I'm thinking that the z9 was under 2 GHz. Does anyone know the speed of the z9, or where I can find that information? The glossy announcements of the z10 on IBM's web site have been replaced by glossy announcements of the z196. If it makes a difference, I'm interested in z9 EC, not BC. For this purpose, relative overall performance doesn't matter. The software price is based on the speed of the chip. If the price is also based on the number of CPU's, then any savings on the slower speed might be offset by costs for more CPU's. First, we need to know the speed.

Re: Curiousity question - Changing the status area
Hi Mike, We use CA-VTERM multi-session manager, it changes the nodeid on the bottom right to the CMS userid, but that's probably not a viable solution for you, since that is probably more dollars than your client wants to spend. Don't know how they do it, but there is no CP mod (since I am in charge of CP and I certainly didn't apply a mod). VTERM magic! We also have some users using a version of the RDYMSG exec you have been been given a couple of times on this thread. This was discussed on the list last year and a few other times, and the DMSUME change has been the suggested option instead of changing the nodeid value in each thread. Joyeux Noel!

Re: 3592-e05 encrypted tapes
Hi Ed, Tape encryption is enabled on z/VM via operands on the ATTACH command. It can also be enabled by setting up the encryption settings with the SET RDEVice command, where they would be picked up automatically on the ATTACH. Details are available in the appropriate help files, the CP Planning and Administration manual, and a presentation I've given in the past: http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/farman/EXPOTAPE.PDF Hope that helps.

Arty's SESSION will do that. From the Help file: Example: SESSION VMUSER1 PF3 .sp will cause a Logical Device to be created for VMUSER1 and the VM logo to be directed to the user's virtual console. The Session name VMUSER1 will be placed into the status area of the 3270 display to facilitate identification of the active Session.

Another possible option that does not involve any extra software or mods to CP is to use the CMS Fullscreen session services (SET FULLSCREEN ON). I have it customized here to show my user id and node name on the top line, like so: Friday 17 Dec 2010 (10351) CMS d...@vsfzvm54 No fuss, no muss:-) Happy Holidays.
