Re: service all status ptf
That is excellent information, many thanks for the education. I am still seeing the problem even though maint has both 190 and 19E linked RO. I took Alan's advice and opened a ticket. It's not yet resolved, but the y think it involves a product DMS/CMS. I don't know what the fix will be b ut I will update this thread with the outcome.

EXECIO DISKW Question
Hello List, We want write a REXX EXEC , that do a Update in place. Another words, I need, read the record 1 from the file, and then rewrite the same record. Is possible? Thanks, Sergio
Re: service all status ptf
That sounds a tad odd to me. There's nothing (after installation) in DMS/CMS that requires R/W access to any of the CMS system disks. DMS/CMS is/was a great little lightweight 3270 panel application builder/manager that was 'way easier to use than ISPF, especially with Rexx. I think it would be fun to reverse-engineer it to use XEDIT macros and eliminating its binaries, but there are so many things like that on my bucket-list... :-/ -Chip- On 6/1/11 10:38 Steve Harman said: That is excellent information, many thanks for the education.

Re: HMC security (was: zvm directions)
The Unified Resource Manager's Storage Administrator function includes the ability exporting the WWPN configuration and importing an access list based on it. (Sorry, I haven't personally used it, yet, so I can't comment further.) Yes, it can. It's pretty much useless. Trouble is, none of IBM's OTHER storage management tools can produce a format that the URM SA function wants to read, and vice versa. There also aren't much in the way of APIs to create tools that can. Seriously, if the URM is supposed to drive and be driven based on the ensemble management stuff, wouldn't it be kinda logical to think that *maybe* the other tools FROM THE SAME VENDOR might want to be aware of what it needs without having to invent the wheel? (HW architects cannot solve SW availability problems.) No kidding. Been there, done that. I guess I'm seeing one useful thing out of this discussion: IBM talking to the zBLC for requirements about interfaces and toolsets gets the rest of us products that only the zBLC members -- usually the LARGEST Z sites -- can afford to deploy. I think it would be helpful for IBM to talk to people that can't deploy products that use large amounts of consulting time about Z interfaces and toolsets. I think that would do wonders to help the satisfaction and comfort level with these new functions. -- db

Another words, I need, read the record 1 from the file, and then rewrite the same record. Is possible? Yes. There are a few programming considerations: 1. If the file is RECFM F, you can change any record you want. 2. If the file is RECFM V, you can change any record you want. 3. If you change the LRECL of a record in a RECFM V file, that record will become the last record in the file. 4. If other virtual machines have the disk accessed while you're doing this, then you can use filemode number 6 to cause the records to be physically rewritten to the same disk location. 5. Update-in-place using fm6 exposes the file to corruption if the system or CMS dies in the middle of a write.

Re: EXECIO DISKW Question
Read up also about FILEMODE 6. And be sure that the file being updated has RECFM F (fixed record format), not RECFM V (variable). Once you are satisfied that you have it working, run some performance tests comparing: - updating that file vs - reading in the whole file, replacing just that record, and re-writing the whole file using CMS Pipelines. You may be surprised (depending on the file size, your disk subsystem, etc.). Mike Walter Aon Corporation The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.

Re: EXECIO DISKW Question
We want write a REXX EXEC , that do a Update in place. Another words, I need, read the record 1 from the file, and then rewrite the same record. Is possible? In addition to reading the manuals that Alan suggested, you should look for the RXFILEIO package on the VMWorkshop tapes. It provides CMS filesystem I/O interfaces that are much more natural REXX function interfaces to the CMS file I/O macros. You probably could also use the CMS common I/O routines, but they're a lot harder to understand and use.

Re: Disabled Wait state not in the CP Messages and Codes Manual
No We do not have a VM system over at the new site and we had an MVS system Dump the VM volumes from location A and FTP/transfer them to location B where an MVS system restored them for us. Today we finally got console access and tried to LOAD the volume we thought had the SAIPL deck on it. This is when we got the Error. we are trying to reverse the transfer now to see if we can IPL under a VM system.
