Re: Switching between Xedit screens.

And, if you have lots of files in the XEDIT ring, use my RING XEDIT macro (part of http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/descript.cgi?LISTSG ) - RING xyz executes xyz in all files in the ring - RING displays the files in the ring in a FILELIST like way and lets you execute XEDIT commands to them I used this often when I had to apply changes to similar, but not identical, files. Oh yes, and how do you get many files in the RING without having to type their names? If you use my enhanced FILELIST, you can enter X2 (instead of X) in FLELIST to bring all these files in the ring where FILELIST lives. And to complement the explanation about SSAVE and FFILE: I saw quite some people that use FF (the abbrev of FFILE) as it is easier to type than FILE. By doing that, they no longer could profit of this extra protection XEDIT gives to avoid wiping out changes unexpectedly. Once I explained what they loosed they all stopped using FF and SS as default command. While at the subject: if you code XEDIT macros, and precede all XEDIT commands by COMMAND (to avoid user defined command synonyms), know then that FFILE is in fact a standard synonym. COMMAND FFILE doesn't exist. Synonym: FILE native command: PFILE Synonym: FFILE native command: FILE PFILE stands for Protected FILE, that is the command with the extra protecting. Similar for SAVE/PSAVE/SSAVE and QUIT/PQUIT/QQUIT So in macros code COMMAND FILE if you want to file anyhow, and COMMAND PFILE if the extra wipe out protection is wanted. Why this complex setup? PFILE and friends were added later, and with the synonym setup macros that use COMMAND FILE remain compatible; end-users that type FILE get the extra protection automatically. 2008/11/21 Tom Duerbusch [EMAIL PROTECTED]: And don't forget 'q ring' to see what files are in your top ring. BTW, once you have a ring, some commands will cause a new ring to be created and push your current ring down. If you issue FILELIST or RDRLIST, and then start to xedit a new member(s). Those members will be in a new ring. Sometimes you can forget that you already have a member, under xedit, and you have made changes to that member without saving them. Then you stack the ring and xedit the member again and make changes. The changes in that member will not include the changes made to that member in the lower level ring (as they were not saved). When you do a 'save' for the member in the top ring, it will save without any messages. However, as you terminate the top ring and pop the lower ring, if you try to save that member, you will get an error message (ssave or ffile, will save the member and wipe out the changes you made at the higher ring). Usually, when I get this I save the member under a different name, and then compare the two members to see what changes I really wanted. Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting If anyone ever sees my desk, you will understand that I might have xedit sessions up for days/weeks. I got interrupted by some higher priority work, and I just stack. On Win/XP, I have I have 47 windows opened. 5 of them are TN3270 sessions. However each session is a TUBES (session manager) session. Right now, the session with the largest number of sessions, has 12 host sessions active.

Re: What to do when my A disk is full
If you are just a little bit brave and the user is logged on, you can comment out the old 191 in the directory and create the new 191 at the same time, then: CP DEFINE 191 D191. /* make room for new 191 */ ACC D191 C /* access old data */ CP LINK * 191 191 W /* link to new 191 */ CP Q V DASD /* verify success */ FORMAT 191 A/* format new minidisk */ COPYFILE * * C = = A (OLDDATE /* copy the data /* Q DISK /* verify success */ FORMAT D191 C /* wipe the redundant copies */ CP DET D191 /* drop the old disk */ If the user logs off too soon or you are interrupted in the process, you may have to back out your changes. When I comment out a 191 disk, I usually change it to 'MDISK D191' so I can clean up occasionally by doing an ALL /*MDISK D191/.

Re: FLASHCOPY performance to a DS6800 DASD
Ed, I'm sure I'll be corrected if my understanding is in error. The FLASHCOPY proceeds in the background, but the source is available for use immediately as writes to un-copied portions of the source volume are logged and held until the flashcopy completes. Also, reads of uncopied areas of the destination volume pull from the original, as yet unchanged, volume. Once the copy is complete, the logged updates are applied to the source volume. On our DS8100, we flashcopy about 60 VSE volumes each night (waiting 3 seconds between commands) and then immediately bring up our production system. We then immediately start VMBACKUP to grab a full DR copy from the destination volumes. Our production VSE is IPL'd usually within 5 minutes of shutdown.

I am just amazed at the performance of the DS6800 I just did the z/VM command FLASHCOPY on a 3390-mod 9 on DS6800 to another 3390-mod 9 volume on the DS6800.

SYNChronous tells CP to process the command immediately and does not allow you to enter any other commands until the hardware has accepted all parameters, all messages from the Enterprise Storage Server (ESS) subsystem have been processed, and the FLASHCOPY command completes. Is the DS6800 and the FLASHCOPY really that fast or is there something going on behind the scenes? Performance has been pretty unbelievable but the FLASHCOPY was just too fast.
