If you have access to the IBM RedBooks please look at the IBM Z Server Time
Protocol Guide (SG24-8480-01). This manual might help you with any questions
you have.

Bill, that display may not be the answer you need. As someone else mentioned
it does not show anything related to 4K frames.
So first I have to ask. You mentioned DB2 buffer pools. Will the change you
want to make go into the 1M LFAREA? If so, then display you have will help.

Peter, from what I recall I believe the information around Unix System
Services stuff along with zIIP activity should be available to the IEFACTRT
exit. There is information in the SMF 30 record related to Unix activity
and zIIP activity. I'm guessing it's a matter of updating the exit to pull
that we would need either physical CTCs or a "coupling facility
lock structure". Does this have to be a separate physical component ?

I pasted below information from the “MVS Planning: Global Resource
Serialization” manual for z/OS 2.5. So based on what the manual says you need
to have CTCs that GRS will manage. Just out of curiosity is there going to be
more then one lpar using this software?
How global resource
Pierre, you can use this link to take you to the web page for the z/OS 2.4
Communication Server documentation. Just look for the " SNA Network
Implementation Guide". Also, from that main page you should be able to find
the other version for the Communication Server documents.
Maybe you should consider a different approach. Instead of trying to do the
time dependent stuff on the OFFOAD itself maybe you could do something with the
$T O JOB command. Maybe setup the OFFLOAD to look for a unique DESTID and then
alter the output to that DESTID after being in the spool
Pierre, you didn't say which level of z/OS Communications Server you are
running so here are two links. I've never worked with the SMF type 50 records.
From what I see in the manuals the information is there, you just have to read
a little extra to get the information. Look at chapter 20.
There is another possibility to look at. There is the BPXWUNIX interface for
REXX that might be useful. I don't have a system to test to see if the
"tn3270,t,conn,max=*" command could be executed through BPXWUNIX.
This is an example of how I used it to work with the NETSTAT command. I was

personally have not used the debugging tool but I'm sure there are
commands/displays that will map out variables. I know I've seen that in the

Looks like there are manuals for the version 16.0, 15.0 and 14.2
Jason, I've never used DFSMSrmm, but if you got the EDG2120W message it
looks like you could possibly get back space by following the suggestion

Jason, I did something similar to what David suggested. I created a list of
datasets from DCOLLECT that had been allocated but never opened. I then ran a
REXX routine that read the list to open/close the datasets. At that point I

I'll go a little different route. If the real issue is with the dollars for
the software there is an interesting approach you could look at.
The place I worked at had setup some years ago several lpars that got grouped
together in a softcap capacity group. Then we forced jobs to run there

Tom, I think whoever is responsible for this project is going to have to come
up with some help around the CICS stuff. It sounds like Solve is similar to
CL/Supersession. I don't think the Solve software will help you much in this
situation.
Technically the CICS program does not need a MAP
Hi Tom..
Let me start by saying I don't know anything about Solve.
Now to my question. Are you talking about individual CICS transactions going
away or are you talking about the whole CICS region going away?
If you are talking about individual CICS transactions then you could handle

Alan, I'm curious how long had the lpar (system) been up when this issue
happened.
I've seen issues with the number of non-reusable ASIDs growing over time

Gadi, I have to ask. Are trying to delete backups of individual datasets or
the actual tapes created during dataset backup processing?
If you are trying to manage the actual backups of individual datasets, have
you looked at the different management classes used for the datasets?

Okay this wakes up some retired brain cells. Because tasks communicate across
XCF (even when you don't know about it) they have to have a unique identifier
for things to work properly. Some tasks will create a unique identifier by
default and some will not. I forgot about that little item.
Jake, I agree you need to identify what record types are needed for the
sizing operation. After you know which record types (and subtypes) you may
not need to do anything. As an example, I can't think of any sensitive data
that might be in the SMF type 7x records.

I'm not sure I have an answer for you at this time. But I do have a few
questions.
Are the JES2 checkpoint datasets for the two systems the same name?
Are the VOLSERs the same name?
I don't have access to any z/OS anymore but when I did, we had three different

subprogram, then you only compile
and link it with the debug logic generated/activated.

Peter, I'll start by saying I've never used this option. It does sound

Greetings Bob,
I was looking through my old JCL library and ran across several examples of
scans using ISRSUPC. Depending on what you want to do you could try
ISRSUPC. If you have access to JOBSCAN you could try it. If you client has

Peter, several people have given you some good suggestions. There are a few
things you need to think about.
1) As others have said, EQSA overflow is not a bad thing as long as your ECSA
is okay. At the place I last worked at we routinely saw ESQA overflow on some
of our larger lpars that had
Peter, I've also have taken the attitude that SQA or ESQA overflow is not
necessarily a bad thing as long as you are not running short of CSA or ECSA.
As Martin mentioned you don't want to run out of CSA/ECSA.
There are a few things that I've done over the years.
