VM Console
Hello Everyone, An computer operator, but of course no one owned up to it, has logged off OPERATOR from the VM console. When they log back onto OPERATOR they receive no messages on the console for VM. It is as though the console log is now going to a secondary user but there is not one specified in the directory for OPERATOR. When I log into MAINT I get the console log for VM. I log off of MAINT and log on to OPERATOR no console log. I log back on to MAINT I have the console log. Anyone have any idea how to get the console log back to OPERATOR?

Re: SVC 203
I know this is probably a grand reach for a straw but I think your problem could be that a module that is being called is not same as on the zVM53 system that was on your zVM44 system. Do you still have access to the zVM440 system? If so you might try to port the compiled object from the zVM53 system to the zVM44 system. If that zVM53 compiled object works on the zVM44 system, then it points to a module that is probably not coded the same. Which would lead me to believe that a library used in the zVM44 system is missing from the zVM53 system.

The z Series has wake me up in seconds. So VMUTIL converts the next coming hh:mm:ss it finds in its WAKEUP file into wakup up in xyz seconds. If the timezone changes in the mean time, VMUTIL won't see that. But, when the xyz seconds have elapsed, it'll wake up, execute what was wanted and scan its wakeup file again for anything that is either late (and wakeup directly) or the first coming event and set the xxx seconds timer again. etc 2009/10/13 David L.

Re: Why is the Daylight Saving Time change still a Big Event
Don Your assumption is what we would all want, but the last time I had checked VSE CICS/TS 1.1 does not use the UTC/GMT time for journal and log entries. So the reason for the one hour wait. I guess no one has requested the requirement or it has not been high priority at IBM CICS labs since in effect they have quit working on VSE CICS/TS.

Every year everyone gets nervous over the Daylight Saving Time change, esp. the fall change. Over the past 40+ years, I would think that by now every program, system, etc. would have been updated or replaced to make the time change a non-event. In today's world, with people and computer spread over many time zones who may or may not be separated from each other, it simply makes sense to standardize internal program usage and recording of date-time stamps in UTC/GMT Then provide programmers with simple generic date-time stamp time zone conversion routines to enable processing/displaying them in an external time zone format users want to see. I would want to push users to accept a time zone indicator as part of the time display. For example, 06:36PM UTC could be used when the users are spread all over the globe. However, 02:36PM EDT could be used when the majority of users are the US eastern time zone while Daylight Saving Time was in effect and 01:36PM EST while Daylight Saving Time was not in effect. By always having an external time zone indicator, it allows users across multiple time zones to view them with less ambiguity. Of course, some people and computers travel across time zones. For some events, they will want to synchronize to the time zone that they are currently in. For other events, they will want to synchronize to their home time zone. For still other events, they will want to synchronize to some other location's time zone. All this should be fairly easy to do by simply providing the programmers sufficiently flexible date-time stamp time zone conversion routines and asking them to use them. Don Williams
Re: Using FDR Instant Backup to make FlashCopies
I can only think of 2 ways that could have happened. One is that the VM system got reIPLed and grabbed the 4506-450D volumes because they had the correct volser and were the 1st one found. If the system did not get reIPLed then somehow something (FDR?) released volumes 4701-4708 from the system and attached volumes 4506-450d to the system. This is normally done by the following commands DET 4701 SYSTEM and ATTACH 4506 SYSTEM.

Re: CMS file list date
Thanks John. I tried the SET DATEFORMAT ISODATE SYSTEM from the userid MAINT. It took the command but didn't change the values when I did a QUERY DATEFORMAT. I was able to change it by doing the following on MAINT: SET DATEFORMAT ISODATE SET DATEFORMAT SYSDEFAULT They now have the correct format for the date on z/VM 4.4.

When the backup runs, writing to a given pair of tapes ends when the first one hits EOT. You would also need to a complete copy of the tapes, labels and all, because the tapes are chained together with user labels. If you couldn't do that, then the copy utility would have have to be smart enough to generate the user label records according to VM:Backup specs. Since the VMBACKUP catalog wouldn't know about these tapes, any restores would have to be done using VMBRITS or VMBSAR. Mark L.

Re: SHOW still available ?
Tom, Are you sure SPEDIT lets you look at an open/active spool? I am on version 4.023 of the software. I can look at other users spool files as long as you have CLASS D. But if someone already has the spool file open in SPEDIT it is not available or seen in the spool queues. The SPEDIT transfers the spool file to the requestor's reader and transfers the spool file back when the requestor exits the view. If the spool file is actively being created I cannot see it.

Re: FTPing to z/VM
Hello Alan, What you have stated here about FileZilla is interesting. I know am about to ask something that has to do with another operating system, but in seeing about what happens with VM it might help me better understand an take a similar route with VSE and get it resolved with the vendors. I am having a problem using a VSE SSL FTP client to talk to a FileZilla server. Everything we have done so far works except the DIR command to get a directory listing. So I am assuming that the LISTFORMAT UNIX for VM FTP is possibly for that problem and maybe others. Is that because FileZilla only recognizes UNIX? Any insight would help thanks.

As an aside, I also use CHKIPADR to set LISTFORMAT UNIX for those who use non-VM-aware FTP clients like FileZilla. At some point I should consider changing my SRVRFTP CONFIG to have LISTFORMAT UNIX and SYSTEMGREETING OFF so that auto-detect FTP clients won't get confused.

The FTP standard does not dictate the format of the output of NLST (DIR), so clients are free to do as they wish. Some FTP clients have the ability to explicitly configure the type of host so that it can interpret DIR correctly. Some have an auto setting (maybe configurable, maybe not) that uses the output of SYST to figure out how to interpret DIR. ftp:// URLs that point to VM systems have similar problems. FTP client authors that don't realize (or don't care) that NLST is not, in fact, a standard, interpret the output as UNIX. IMO, there should be an FTP extension that provides a canonical definition of the output of DIR. E.g. NAME=profile.exec.a SIZE=6728 ATTR=RW TYPE=FILE TIME=localtime TZ=-4 But I have other windmills to tilt at :-) Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott

Z/VM 4.4 system question
I hope that this list may assist or point me in the right direction for this problem. I have inherited an incomplete project from a coworker that is longer with the school. Currently we have a Z/VM 4.4 system in a separate LPAR called TECH, that was to be used to convert an set of array in our Shark dasd subsystem from 3380 to another array set in 3390 format and to experiment with running Linux under Z/VM. But before I could begin work on it I had a request to get SECUREFTP installed from CSI installed by the end of this week. Upon investigation our spare Ethernet adapter in the MP3000 is currently owned by TECH LPAR and the next window for a system IPL to change the IOCP is at the end of this month. Both sets of DASD arrays are shared in the TECH LPAR. So I decided to move our vary off our dasd for the TECHVSE system on the PROD LPAR and vary on the same dasd to the TECH LPAR. I have added the directory entries to the TECH z/VM directory for the TECHVSE system. But when I try to IPL the TECHVSE system on the z/VM system on the TECH LPAR I get this message: HCPMCV1459E The virtual machine is placed in check-stop state due to a system malfunction with CPU 00. Explanation: The virtual machine was placed in check-stop state due to an uncorrectable system malfunction. This system malfunction could not be described specifically by a machine check interrupt condition. Some possible malfunctions are: A bad page in a Named Saved System (NSS): This problem may be reflected to other users sharing the NSS. An example would be a damaged page on DASD that is part of the CMS NSS. The same could be true of a Discontiguous Saved Segment (DCSS). A damaged processor: A damaged processor may be taken offline and the user redispatched. System Action: Execution of instructions and interrupts terminates, the interval timer is not updated, and console function mode is entered. User Response: Enter the SYSTEM RESET or SYSTEM CLEAR command to leave check-stop state. If the problem persists, contact your system programmer. The check-stop may be indicative of a more serious error. System Programmer Response: In the case of a failed NSS or DCSS, resave the segment or system that failed. If another DASD pack is available, use it to retry the IPL. If the problem persists, contact your IBM Support Center Personnel to diagnose and correct the error. I have read the message but I cannot understand what is wrong. Our MP3000 has only one processor. I switched the dasd volumes back to the PROD LPAR and was able to IPL the TECHVSE. I switched the DASD back to the TECH LPAR and received the same message. Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Z/VM 4.4 system question
After doing some further reading, it looks like I am confused with the use of the word LPAR. I am used to the old days meaning of LPAR being the equivalent of VM to use machine resources to emulate multiple machines. Now it looks like LPAR means one to one machine emulation, ie one LPAR for CPU1and second LPAR for IFL1 etc. Or am I still off base Jim Dodds Systems Programmer Kentucky State University 400 East Main Street Frankfort, Ky 40601 502 597 6114 From: Dodds, Jim Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 1:59 PM To: 'The IBM z/VM Operating System' Subject: Z/VM 4.4 system question I hope that this list may assist or point me in the right direction for this problem.

Re: Z/VM 4.4 system question
Thanks Mark. I have found the answer on the MP3000 in the configuration section of my LPARs. The TECH LPAR is marked as LINUX only. My next question is I think that I still don't have an IFL. Can the general processor be shared between these 2 LPARs with the TECH LPAR marked as Linux only? What would happen if I changed the TECH LPAR from Linux only to ESA/390? Would that mean I would have to some changes to the Z/VM 4.4 or would it IPL ok with no changes?
