Re: Problem that is a blast from the past...
You all have great memories! I didn't mean to imply a current problem with DESBUF versus DROPBUF. I was just recalling other 'quirkiness' when using WAKEUP. This DESBUF versus DROPBUF thing is not isolated to just execs using WAKEUP. However, because of WAKEUP's fielding of interrupts you can see results you didn't expect. And yes, it is better to specify a number with DROPBUF with 0 meaning all the program stack buffers.

Do you want DROPBUF or DROPBUF 0? Without a number, only the last buffer created is dropped; 0 implies all buffers, not just the last.

When one uses DESBUF, it should be preceeded by CONWAIT as DESBUF also clears CMS' console output buffer. In my young years, I was debugging an EXEC1 exec with an TRACE ALL, and I didn't see all executed lines. I was almost convinced that I found a bug in EXEC1 as in the console trace I saw it jump from exec line xxx to yyy without an GOTO to explain the jump... But, you guessed it: at line yyy-1 there was a DESBUF... In my experience, DESBUF is no longer of any use since the arrival of DROPBUF, and that was together with EXEC2, maybe in VM/SP Rel 2. So, in a bigger WAKEUP based server, where one isn't sure some other called exec leaves stacked lines behind, it might be better to code 'DROPBUF' 'WAKEUP .' with or without CONS, it wouldn't matter anymore. 2009/9/14 Colleen Brown brown...@us.ibm.com I really think Kris's first response about the CONS option is the correct one.

Re: dirm needpass no
From DirMaint Support: What they have done is made every command be not prompted for a password. Which of course is not the way DirMaint typically runs. Someone, probably on the listserv, told them in the past they could alter the cmds file to remove them from password authorization. Something which I would typically describe as dangerous but perhaps on their education/test system it is what they want. With this in mind these files are not typical files to be needing tailoring at all. The are tailorable if there is some special case which they seem to have. This is why they are not discussed in the documentation (TAG). In the case of AUTHBY CONTROL this is built when you use the AUTHBY function for BYUSERS. There are several control files in DirMaint which get built because the external command was issued. Therefore there is no need for the customer to be informed of this file. If he would follow the documentation given with the product he is informed of everything he needs to know about. By default DirMaint requires passwords. The way they operate as discussed they are not. However, if the issue a NEEDPASS command which is an optional command it could confuse the issue. What I believe they should have done to give everyone access to all commands by making every command a GENERAL use command. Then the password prompt would not be so confusing. But as long as they know what they have done there is no issue. Just be aware that this could be dangerous. They are giving access to everyone to DASD commands which could be a loaded gun in the hands of the wrong people Colleen M Brown IBM z/VM and Related Products Development and Service Jim Bohnsack [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU 11/14/2007 01:10 PM Please respond to The IBM z/VM Operating System IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU To IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU cc Subject Re: dirm needpass no I took a look at doc for 140CMDS and 150CMDS and now I see the Y or N called out for col 35. I overlooked that as I did the last time we upgraded DIRMAINT. Mark found it then as he did now. What I don't understand is what appears to be the fact that there are so many places in DIRMAINT, both the client side and the server side where authorization is granted. On the client side, there appear to be GLOBALV options that can be set and there is also the DIRM NEEDPASS NO or YES. On DIRMAINT, there is the Y or N in the 1x0CMDS DATADVH file but there is also the AUTHBY CONTROL file. The descriptions for all of them seem to be scattered in different manuals rather than having a section in the Tailoring and Admin. manual. That makes setup of DIRMAINT really messy as does many of the different configuration files.

I checked the 140CMDS DATADVH and 150CMDS DATADVH files on the DIRMAINT 11F minidisk on our test VM LPAR which has DirMaint at the z/VM 5.3 level. These two files had mostly Y's in column 35 for the various commands, indicating that a password was required. In production (where we don't need to specify passwords) these two files have all N's in column 35. So I edited the files to specify N's in column 35, and restarted DIRMAINT. Voila! No passwords required. This is without doing anything with GLOBALV on the client side. I checked my GLOBALV files and didn't find NEEDPASS anywhere. Just to be sure I also checked the http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/hcsl3b21/9.43 z/VM 5.3 DirMaint http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/hcsl3b21/9.43 Tailoring and Administration Guide. NEEDPASS is defined in Table 42 as a LASTING GLOBALV variable in pool DVH15 for possible use by DVHCX* and DVHPX* exits in the user's virtual machine (client side). There's no mention of the NEEDPASS global variable being used by anything other than being available for use by these exits.

Re: Fw: Dirmaint - any way to suppress the user notification message when a directory change is made?
I sent your question onto Doug Barnhart here in z/VM. Doug had the following to say: He could also use DIRM USEROPTN Rcvmsgs INFO_OFF if he only want to remove the informational messages. The RCVMSGS OFF will stop all messages and there maybe some severe message responses which the customer would want to see. Of course unless he indicates that he also does not want to log the messages they would be in the log file but he may not know to look there unless he has the message response on his terminal.

Re: SERVICE install problem
From developer Tami Zebrowski-Darrow From MAINT user id you need to do the following for the component that you are servicing. It assumes that you have the prereq PTFs in a SERVLINK envelope file on MAINTs 500 disk. If you have tape then do not use ENV option on VMFREC. Also for the correct syntax of the SERVICE RESTART command that you need to use, see the VMFSRV2310W message in the $VMFSRV $MSGLOG from the original SERVICE failure. comp and envfn are variables in the following commands and need to be filled in with the component that the prereqs are for and the filename of the SERVLINK file that has the prereq PTFs in it, respectfully.

Re: MSGTRAP/Trapping MSGs
When you are talking about IUCV messages the WAKEUP IUCV interrupt handler is loaded and running if you have invoked WAKEUP with this option. The messages will be queued until you ask for them with the next WAKEUP IUCVMSG invocation. If you are talking about VMCF messages they are queued by CP until you invoke WAKEUP and ask for them.

Re: Can RSCS start a TCPNJE link and keep listening for the remote side to start?
Remember that the LINKDEFINE for RSCS contains both a Link Name and a Node Name. Could it be a mismatch with one of these? According to the RSCS code we have received a reason code of 1 in the CRR control record. This indicates a node mismatch. If reviewing your configuration doesn't find the problem, I would suggest an RSCS Link trace when you are starting the link.

The first one is that there is no way to send (e-mail) anything back to yourself. If you want to research 100 PTFs for a product, it is a lot easier to send the list back to a place where you can manipulate the list. Lest anyone think that I haven't researched this issue, I know that I could cut-and-paste or view source or a number of other relatively manual processes. However, all of those are much more time-consuming than tapping the PF key to print and send the output back to my VM system. I will also miss this function for being able to print and archive old PMR text so that I can find old problems after IBMLink deletes them (28 days). The ability to use a text mode browser might improve this but I am not aware of a text mode browser that handles https. The other significant productivity hit is the lack of shortcuts to get between functions. The point-and-click option requires a lot more waiting for transitions between tasks in IBMLink. I first heard about the probability of the 3270 interface being discontinued in October 2003 from someone in the IBMLink development team. I mentioned these issues then and, while the web interface has improved, these functions still do not exist. I guess customer requirements aren't as important as they used to be. (sigh!)

Re: RSCS printer not there but there
Hi Michael, Please see in the RSCS Planning and Installation book, Chapter 2 Planning for Installation, Virtual Storage Considerations, Calculating Virtual Storage. This will tell you how to calculate how much virtual storage you need. I didn't do the math but 16M seems small for your system. RSCS will only use the amount of virtual storage it needs so if you define more than you need that should not be an issue. That being said, I don't know that increasing your storage will solve this problem. The doc does say that RSCS can stop sending files if you run out of storage and in your case RSCS has stopped sending files. So, it seems worth a try.
