An SFS aid

I deal with SFS administration only rarely and I have trouble remembering the fussy syntax for even the more common functions. I put together this little REXX to help me along. It's by no means complete, but maybe some people in the same situation will find it useful. Note K8SYSU: is an example -

Re: An SFS aid

Did you have a look at my SFSULIST package? My first impression is that you almost do in linemode what I created in a FILELIST-like fashion: http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/descript.cgi?SFSULIST 2010/2/24 Mrohs, Ray ray.mr...@usdoj.gov I deal with SFS administration only rarely and

FW: is there a way to automatically select a certain system config based on second level vs. first level ipls?

Thanks, Mike and Robert! That sounds perfect for our situation (and handy, too, for our later DR discussions)... Shannon Collinson shannon.collin...@suntrust.com Tel: 404.827.6070 Mobile: 404.642.1280 Fax: 404.581.1688 LEGAL DISCLAIMER The information transmitted is intended solely

I didn't but I'm looking at it now. It looks much more thorough. Thanks for pointing it out. Ray From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Kris Buelens Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 10:25 AM

Re: An SFS aid

As with all generalizations, including this one, yours is bad :-) There are places where signal is not bad. For example, I have an EXEC that acts as (a) an EXEC, (b) a Pipelines filter and (c) an XEDIT profile. There is no pretense that the filter or the XEDIT profile will return to the initial

Re: An SFS aid

My posting was the result of frustration with SFS. I wasn't thinking about perfect code structure. Frankly, at a certain age you care less about those things, as long as it works and the boss is happy. :-) But I understand your criticism. Ray From:

question to DS8000 and Flashcopy activation

Hi all, I have to setup the flashcopy feature at a customer's DS8K next month. I know how to activate an additional feature code on this machine. At least I hope for flashcopy this works the same as an activation of additional dasds. This I have already done some time ago. When the

Re: question to DS8000 and Flashcopy activation

I think that you need to be at z/VM 5.4 0902 to get some of the enhancements to the FLASHCOPY command (FLASHCOPY ESTABLISH, FLASHCOPY WITHDRAW, etc.) Frank M. Ramaekers Jr. -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of

Re: VMUTIL Executing a long running EXEC

Have VMUTIL autolog a guest which performs the work instead...XAUTOLOG WORKRBEE#HONEY This will autolog WORKRBEE and pass it 'HONEY' ..As long as the WORKRBEE PROFILE EXEC doesn't mess with the stack(s) -- then 'HONEY' should be executed as a command. Make the last command of 'HONEY

Re: VMUTIL Executing a long running EXEC

Anything that takes longer than a few seconds to run, I move off into a separate service virtual machine. It may still be triggered by VMUTIL. Or that SVm could be running its own copy of the VMUTIL control exec. /Tom Kern /U.S. Dept of Energy /301-903-2211 On Wed, 24 Feb 2010 14:42:02 -0700,

Re: VMUTIL Executing a long running EXEC

Hi Scott, As numerous others have suggested, you should set up VMUTIL to XAUTOLOG another userid that will execute the long-running EXEC and return completion information via a mechanism of your choice. My $0.05 worth is that this is a perfect opportunity to exploit POOL userids, which

Re: VMUTIL Executing a long running EXEC

As I was building the workerbee guest I was think of exactly what you described. I am already thinking of other uses. Thanks! Thank you, Scott -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Tom Rae Sent: Wednesday, February 24,
