There hasn’t been any postings on the VSE-L LISTSERV since Monday at 1:38PM.   
Anyone else who’s on this LISTSERV seen any different?
Google groups show the last post on June 25th.

Hi All. 

Just noticed something when we did a "DIRM FREEXT" to see what free extents 
were and we got this on one of our systems: 





VOLUME DEVTYPE -- FREE EXTENTS ---
$$ 3380 START= 1 AVAIL= 500
$$ 3380 START= 503 AVAIL= 382
VM1L0A 3390 START= 1 AVAIL= 1112
VM1L06 3390 START= 1 AVAIL= 1112
VM1L07 3390 START= 1 AVAIL= 1112
VM1L08 3390 START= 1 AVAIL= 1112
VM1L09 3390 START= 1 AVAIL= 1112
VM2K01 3390-03 START= 1 AVAIL= 3338
VM2K02 3390-03 START= 1 AVAIL= 3338
VM2K03 3390-03 START= 1 AVAIL= 3338
VM2L00 3390-09 START= 6734 AVAIL= 3283 


In the EXTENT CONTROL file, I have VM2xxx defined but I do not have VM1xxx 
defined.   Even checked the directory and there's no references to these DASD.  
  Why is DIRMAINT picking this up?  And where is it getting its information 
from?    Would like to get them off of this list since they're on our other VM 
system.   

Thanks

Re: IBM 1401

[william JANULIN]

When I worked at a bank, we had Ollivetti teller terminals that punched paper 
tape transactions as well as them being entered into the system. If the 
computer systems were down, the tellers could still record transactions on to 
the paper tape. When the systems came back up, they had a paper tape reader 
that they could feed the paper tape into (I don't remember the model number) to 
enter that transactions.

Re: IBM 1401

[william JANULIN]

I can remember as a consode operator running a 360/30 in 1401 compatibility 
mode (dialing in the card reader address and loading in the 'CID' deck). I can 
also remember settubg the 'F' switch to signal the last reel of tape being read 
in on a 2401 tape drive.

We also ran that machine in normal '360' mode, IPLing DOS off the 190 disk.

Re: HMC remote access: Internet Explorer 7 problems

You may want to consider upgrading to IE 8

Hi,

Our HMC is at the very latest level, and still the Hardware Management
Console remote access doesn't work well with Internet Explorer 7.  Most
of the time it's OK, but then suddenly new HMC-windows don't popup(with
popup blocker disabled), and sometimes they do popup but remain blank,
sometimes nothing happens after double clicking an icon, sometimes a
bunch of windows popup after closing another window...

However, it does work well with Firefox, but we're not allowed to
install Firefox on our PCs (company policy).

So, does anyone know how I can make it work(consistantly) with IE 7, or
what the problem with IE 7 is?     
Is anyone else having these problems?

Thanks,
Geert.

Re: Moving On II

[william JANULIN]

Hi Mark and everyone;

  Sorry to hear about that. I remember working with a couple of sysprogs at 3M 
when I was with Macro 4. One of the guys I worked with was Phil Erickson. I 
wish you luck on your search.

To list: I have also been cut loose from my position as ASG. I also have zVM, 
zOS, & zVSE experience along with some light exposure to zLinux. I am currently 
residing in Southwest Florida so if anyone knows of anything in the area or 
some contract work available, I would be interested.

I have not been corresponding to the list for awhile but I also want to thank 
everyone for their help, while I was working for an outsourcer a couple of 
years ago.

Regards,
 Bill Janulin

Re: VTAM on an IFL?

[william JANULIN]

IBM should have been able to tell you that the instruction set is different on 
an IFL that on a standard LPAR than runs zOS, CICS, VTAM, etc.

Re: Running z/OS with disconnected console

[william JANULIN]

Martha,

  You may want to start with the following parameter
in the FEATURES statement of your zVM SYSTEM CONFIG
member on MAINT's CF1 ( or CF2 or CF3 depending on
which extent you are using at VM IPL):

Disconnect_Timeout off ,

As I understand this parameter, it will prevent the
logoff of disconnected userid's.

RPIVAL module in zVM 5.2

  We just implemented RACF/VM for a client and am
attempting to set up IS and password validation for
VM/FTP.

My DTCPARMS for FTP are set up as follows:

:nick.FTPSERVE :type.server
   :class.ftp
:nick.ftp  :type.class
   :name.System C FTP daemon
|...+1+2+3+4+5+..
   :command.SRVRFTP
   :runtime.PASCAL
   :diskwarn.YES
   :Anonymous.NO
   :ESM_ENABLE.YES
   :ESM_VALIDATE.RPIVAL
   :ESM_RACROUTE.RPIDUMY INIT

FTP is attempting to load RPIVAL but I an getting an
error. I logged on to MAINT and did a FILEL RPI* * *
bet there were no modules listed on the 'Y' disk. 
In zVM 4.3 there were on the 'Y' disk. Have they been
moved somewhere and if so, where can I find them. 

I tried copying an RPIVAL module from an olded zVM
system (release 4.3) but am getting a load error.

Hi Rich,
  No, but he has something called PUR EXEC.
So, it would appear that when he entered the command,
it tries to execue this PUR EXEC instead of the CP
command.

Now the VSE/TCPIP that is running is on a VSE guest
machine. The links in the stack are connected via
virtual CTCA to a VM/TCPIP stack. 

When I try to print to them, I get an OPEN COMPLETE
error with a sc-12, rc=0.

My question is, do I need to define PORT 9100 in the
VM/TCPIP profile as a LPD port? I was under the
impresssion that this is a standard port that should
be available without defining anything.

Any input is most welcome,
 Bill J.

VM-VTAM question

[william JANULIN]

To list;
  I am working on some mods to the iSTINCLM logmode
table that comes with VM/VTAM. According to the
instructions, I should copy the assemble file to the
2C4 'E' disk, make the changes there, assemble it,
then implement.

It looks like that when I issue the VMFASM ( I could
not use VMFHASM or VMFHLASM because it could not find
the modules) it looks like it is picking up the
original ISTINCLM without my changes. Before I start,
I issues the VMFSETUP 5654010a VTAM command to get all
the minidisks. 

What am I missing?

Thks,
 Bill J.

Re: VM/TCPIP question

[william JANULIN]

To list(s);,

  O.K. I am totally lost here as to why the FTPBATCH
jobs I run in VSE cannot find the IP address of the
site. When I force the IP address via PARM data, I get
the following errors:

220 FTPD ready for new user.
  07172006 114950.47
Local host connection established.
  07172006 114950.47

  07172006 115150.50
FTP320W QUIT command sent after error
  07172006 115150.50

I thought I had this covered with the LOCAL HOSTS file
and then doing the MAKESITE bit. Following is a
snippet of the LOCAL HOSTS file:

;
HOST : 10.5.4.44 : INTERNAL.JLTSERVICES.COM 
;
HOST : 10.5.4.44 : FTP.INTERNAL.JLTSERVICES.COM 
;
|...+1+2+3+4+5+6+.
HOST : 10.2.4.15 : JLTSERVICES.COM 
;
HOST : 10.5.4.50 : MOMENTUM.JLTSERVICES.COM 
;
HOST : 10.2.4.36 : EREPORTS.JLTSERVICES.COM 

What is really wierd about this is that the 10.5.4.44
address works but non of the others. I cannot help but
think that something is missing.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

VM/TCPIP question

[william JANULIN]

To list:

  Question - when setting up the HOSTS LOCAL file and
creating the HOSTS SITEINFO and HOSTS ADDRINFO files,
does VM/TCPIP have to reaccess TCPMAINT's 592 disk
after they are copied or do I have to re-cycle
VM/TCPIP?

I have a user attempting to do FTPBATCH on a VSE guest
 getting "Invalid Foreign IP address" on the batch
job. The VSE TCPIP stack is set up with DEFINE LINKS
and DEFINE ROUTES to VM/TCPIP using CTCAs for the
connection. 

Thank you in advance for any assistance,

To list:
  I recently created a HOSTS LOCAL file and did a
MAKESITE for a few DNS names. Seems to work fine with
one exception. When I do the TESTSITE command, it
looks like one of the DNS names gets truncated.

Following is the o/p from the command:

us-wat-as01.internal.jltservices.com
US-WAT-AS01.INTERNAL.JLT: Host address: 10.5.4.50
No gateway named
'us-wat-as01.internal.jltservices.com'

VGLIBSRV, RMSMASTR, and DYNVM

[william JANULIN]

To lists(s);

  We are in the process of migrating a VM/VSE system
that currently uses the 3494 VTS. The user is
currently in the process of phasing out the VTS.
However, going forward, we want to utilize the 3494
ATL without using the VTS.

Currently I have these three machines down. At some
point, once the additional drives are added to the ATL
for this client, I will need to go into these machines
and make the appropriate modifications so I can bring
these machines online. 

I need some assistance in identifying what I need to

TCPIP setup question

[william JANULIN]

To list(s),
  We are migrating a VM/VSE user to a new system. 
Currently I am running into some trouble initializing
the TCPIP for VSE stack. I am getting a IPL475E
message followed by an IPL471 message. On the old
system they have DEDICATE statements for addresses 
C00 thru C0f as follows:

  DEDICATE C00 B00
 .
 .
  DEDICATE C0F B0F

In their VSE ASIPROC they have 

  ADD C00:C0E,OSA

Now, the OSA card on the system here is at address
F000.  I am thinking that I have to change the
dedicate and ADD statements accordingly as well as
changing my DEFINE LINK statement in the IPINITxx
configs.

As I am relatively new in this area, Am I on the right
track with this?

Thks,
 Bill J.

VM NFS additional question

[william JANULIN]

To list:
 Relative to my original question on setting up NFS, I
received the following question:

We want to know what’s involved to have a NFS mount
from one of our VM ID’s to a Windows Server. 
Basically what it does is it allows VM to see a
Windows folder as if it’s a VM mini disk.  Or vice
versa, from windows, a vm minidisk appears as if it is
a folder on the windows machine.  It’s a more secure
protocol then FTP. 

  I believe I have completed the NFS setup on the
mainframe side. I am looking for instructions on how
to set up a client on a WINDOWS 2000 workstation to
access the data. The instructions I found on the IBM
website pertain to Windows/NT. I may be restricted
here on doing the setup, just want to be sure that the
Windows/NT instructions pertain to Windows 2000 also. 

Is there a way for a VM userid to see a windows
folder??

Thks,
 Bill J.

Setting up VM NFS

Re: Time Change

[william JANULIN]

Chuck,
 I got something from Kris Beulens at IBM that works
very nicely for us. These ir a package from VM
Downloads called RXSERVER. Part of it is a VMUTIL
EXEC: create a VMUTIL userid, place the sample PROFILE
EXEC, VMUTIL EXEC and VMUTIL PROFILE on its 191 disk,
define your userid's in the AUTH_ANY records in the
VMUTIL profile. When ready XAUTOLOG VMUTIL and you are
ready to go.

To schedule the time zone change, issue from your
autorized userid:

  TELL VMUTIL ON 04/02/06 02:00:00  CP SET TIMEZONE
xxx when xxx would be your time zone identification
(EDT for Eastern Daylight Time, etc.)

When you are done, just logoff and go home and let
VMUTIL do the work.

Re: Update on z/VM 5.2.0 problem

[william JANULIN]

I don't believe I have seen a description of their
problem. We are planning on an install of zVM 5.2 for
a new client. Is there a description of the problem
available?

Thks,
 Bill J.

P.S. Some of us are not afforded the opportunity to
attend SHARE.
