z/Journal article

For those of you who don't get the z/Journal e-Newsletter and who may remember the article I said I would write at the last WAVV conference (and for those of you who care or are interested), it will not be in the hardcopy magazine but it is on the z/Journal web site ( www.zjournal.com ). It is

Re: PIPEDDR

Tom, VSE *does* have a TERSE utility (at least since z/VSE 3.1). It can be used on library members that are not type DUMP or PHASE. See the z/VSE 3.1 System Utility Guide.

VMFBLD NUCTARG TAPE

We are at z/VM 5.2. I am trying to create an IPLable CP nucleus on tape. I attached a tape to MAINT as 182, issued a VMFSETUP ZVM CP command and then: VMFBLD PPF ZVM CP cpload * NUCTARG TAPE (all I get: VMFBLD2760I VMFBLD processing started VMFSIP2453I Table 5VMCPR20 SRVAPPS H is

Re: VMFBLD NUCTARG TAPE

Thanks for looking into it, Raymond. But you'd think if they yanked support for it, they would also take the time to remove it from HELP VMSES VMFBLD.

Re: TCPIP4VSE and z/VM OSAX QDIO VSWITCHHW

Hi Ed. Yes, I got it working. I needed PTF UD52628 and the OSAX coupled to the VSWITCH.

Re: ICC problem on z890

Thomas, though I have not personally seen it, Ive been told we experienced the same problem here with our VSE consoles. We no longer use the ICC sessions for them. Apparently the VM consoles did not suffer. I believe several people at the last WAVV mentioned having the same problem. I

Deterse

Has anyone had any problems using DETERSE on z/VM 5.2? This is what Im getting: deterse vptf4185 bin z um31619 servlink a ( replace Ready(01001); T=0.01/0.01 16:42:02 TIA - Don

Re: Deterse

TCPIP4VSE and z/VM OSAX QDIO VSWITCHHW

We are still having problems getting the above communications working. On our VSE 2.62 systems that is. IBM recommended some PTFs: UD52153 was already applied. I was getting: IPN631I Control has been passed to the TCP/IP engine 0016: IPL605E Unable to Initialize IJBOSA, return code:

Re: TCPIP4VSE and z/VM OSAX QDIO VSWITCH

Oops... I forgot to include my TCPIP definition: DEFINE LINK,ID=VM_TCPIP,TYPE=OSAX,DEV=(D00,D01),MTU=8192, - DATAPATH=D02,FRAGMENT=NO,PORTNAME=UNASSIGNED (I also tried it with DEFINE ADAPTER 0). TIA, Don

Re: TCPIP4VSE and z/VM OSAX QDIO VSWITCH

Thanks to all who replied. Yes the problem was the NIC was not coupled to the VSWITCH. Up and running. Thanks again. Don

TCPIP4VSE and z/VM OSAX QDIO VSWITCH

FINALLY we are licensed to run TCPIP4VSE! We are trying to get it to get to the network via a virtual NIC TYPE QDIO associated with a VSWITCH under z/VM 5.2. However, I cant get it to initialize. I did upgrade TCPIP to 1.5E on our VSE/ESA 2.62 systems. Here are some

Msg 1QBEI

Help all We upgraded to a z.890 and z/VM 5.2 this weekend. Tonight one of our VSE jobs attempting to spool print to VM is getting: F1 0001 1QBEI INTERNAL MACRO CALL CPCOM FAILED IN PHASE=IPW$$LW , RC=7 FOR CSEK631 18177 ON LST,02E 21:13:30 F1 0001 1Q33I STOPPED LST,02E

Explore/VM on z/VM 5.2

We are migrating from z/VM 3.1 to z/VM 5.2. We are having multiple problems with C/A Explore/VM. It is a level EXPLORE 4.3 G0402 SP03. Is anyone else running this combination and experiencing any problems? TIA

VSE lock file question

We are in the process of migrating to a new CPU. The applications people want to run their test VSE on the new box concurrently with all the other systems still running on the old box. After some discussion it was decided that we would just put the VSE lock file on a physical DASD

WAVV transportation airport to hotel
