Re: RESTORE DUMP WITH PIPEDDR

Hello, Victor. I'm afraid not...the PIPEDDR process produces a track by track dump of the (E)CKD DASD devices...it can only be restored to a like (E)CKD device. There is no way that I know of to restore such a file to a SCSI-type FCP device directly. DJ - Original Message - From: =?ISO-88

No. DDR (of any flavor) is same-to-same type. You might get away with FBA to FCP, but not CKD. On 12/2/09 8:17 PM, "Victor Hugo Ochoa" wrote: > somebody knows this: > > It's possible to restore backup obtained with PIPEDDR in discs technology > > CKD(origin) to a destiny with discs technol

No - you'll have to restore it to CKD and then copy it to FCP.. Scott On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 6:17 PM, =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Victor_Hugo_Ochoa?= wrote: > somebody knows this: > > It's possible to restore backup obtained with PIPEDDR in discs technology > CKD(origin) to a destiny with discs technology F

Re: Automate z/VM RACF SMF process to z/OS

It appears that there is something wrong with the SMF CONTROL file when I do a SMF SWITCH to RACFVM and he tries to autolog RACFSMF I get and error stating that user ACFSMF is not in the CP Directory. Notice that the 'R' in RACFSMF is missing. Here is a screen print of the control file I can't

MSGD might should just be re-written with Pipes. The protocol is really easy. (You could possibly skip the IDENT support if you control the clients.) See the RFC: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1312 On 2009-12-02, Thomas Kern wrote: > I have MSGD running, but with our reduced workload

Re: Automate z/VM RACF SMF process to z/OS

Append you code to the PROFILE EXEC of RACFSMF. "append" is a general word here, you could imbed your code in the PROFILE EXEC, have the PROFILE EXEC call your exec, or your exec may replace the current PROFILE EXEC. To make it possible to recover from a failed FTP, it might indeed be good to keep

My experience is that unless you actually do the FORMAT of cylinder 0 -- you 'may' end up with the VTOC issue described. We had a new volume - and just did a LABEL on it -- and had the same issue. We then did the FORMAT of cylinder 0 - and did not. So ever since -- my 'clip' script does a FOR

Understand that.. But ... the Linux system will be DOWN when the backup takes places and I actually placed the mdisk on cyl 0001-3337 so as to have a VTOC on cly 0 so that we could use z/OS to back up this system. Just appears that something has went "boom" and z/OS isn't seeing record 5 on c
