There is also IEACMDxx, where the commands will be executed in the specified

Mind the jumps in private area. A little less CSA/SQA might give you 1 MB more
private area, a little more can cost you 1 MB.
SQA can overflow to CSA, so a higher usage is allowable, since it can still
handle spikes.

DFsort evaluates the status of the system at each run, so different runs will
produce different results and predicting is difficult.
DFsort statistics will show how the sort ran:

ICE054I 0 RECORDS - IN: 0, OUT: 0
Can you reliably dump your zFS, with DSS or FDR, while it is active and being

The problem is that when you issue the automatic command with a time in the
past, it will be issued immediately.
You can avoid this by scheduling it for the next day with T=24.05. T= is
calculated from the last midnight, so 24.05 means 00:05 tomorrow morning.

Ken,
ARM is a Sysplex function, not an XCF feature.
Check "Setting up a Sysplex" for more info. Ch 8 "Controlling job availability

The situation for a zIIP is somewhat more complex and 2-staged.
If a zIIP becomes heavier used, delays for the zIIP begin to show up. It is at
30% utilization when you have 1 zIIP, 60% utilization when you have 2 zIIP.
It the zIIP becomes heavier loaded and delays are growing, the CP is asked to

The manual is a mess to find what you are looking for.
This the example chapter of RELEASE in the DFdss manual.

This looks like a problem we had some time ago, although it was part of a much
more complex outage.
The problem was a power failure (Murphy during actions on the power infra) in
one site of the 2 site 9-LPAR sysplex.
Several things like automatic recovery action (sysplex partitioning etc) were
Yes, but if I understood the APAR text correctly, we started enjoying its
benefits after moving from a z196 to a z13 a year ago.

Vince,
Random meaning: not most logical time to reset the CP configuration.

Thanks for the pointer.

Hi all,
Message IEE496I says that z/OS has manipulated (put online or offline) the
number of CPs or ZIIPs at IPL to match the configuration in the LPAR Activation
Profile.
Does anyone know since when and why z/OS does this?
If I put one or more CPs online to an LPAR, because I need them there f
