A quick note for Mainframe Assembler programmers...

Mr. Don Higgins developed some years ago a PC suite, called PC/370, to
assemble, and linkedit mainframe assembler source code and create small
MS-DOS executables.

More recently he developed a J2SE (JRE 6.0+) HLASM Compatible Mainframe
assembler, linker and emulator that runs on Windows and Linux.

It is Open Source (java) and freely downloadable from
http://www.z390.org

Got an answer from http://bama.ua.edu IBM-MAIN Archives, is solved.

Hi,

does anybody know what the 'IBM Customer Anchor Table' is? My MVS ISV
software installes an entry into, but I have never heard about that
anchor table. Could not find anything about that anchor table at IBM's
z/OS pages.

Thnx in advance.

Lizette,

    Thank you for your reply.  I will look into the MVS OE newsgroup.  We are
using RACF.  If I ask enough I do get some authority, they just don't
want to give it all away.  The RACF guy made some changes but I still don't see
anybody else when I do a "ps -ef".  As root they see all processes.
No real error messages , just a limitation I'd think others may have
encountered.  Currently the pids of interest (SyslogD, Named, etc.) are stored
in
files.  I just can't display them.


       Thanks again,  Dave H.

  You might also try the IBM-MAIN or MVS OE newsgroup for this question.





  What is your security product? RACF, ACF2, Top Secret?





  For each one you need to setup the OMVS segment.





  If you are RACF, there is also a RACF newsgroup that might be good as well.  
Or
  the ACF2 newsgroup if you are ACF2 user.  I have not found a Top Secret
newsgroup
  at this time.





  The OMVS Segment needs to have a UID/GID and home directory specified.  Since
you
  did not include an SAF error messages, I am not sure what might be missing.





  At the time of your error, did you look in SYSLOG for supporting error
messages?
  They may be prefixed with BPX.  Any activity done in the MVS Shell (OMVS or
  ISHELL) will spawn a BPX task.  This task may produce messages in syslog that
are
  not sent to the user’s session.

  Hello David,


  well z/OS Unix is not other Unixes. IBM has put in great effords to avoid the
  superuser privileges. For your specific question you might look at "su" command
  which allows you to change the euid of your process to 0. This is controlled by
  the RACF FACILITY class profile BPX.SUPERUSER. But there is more: with RACF
  UNIXPRIV class you are able to give selective superuser priviliges to
individual
  tasks. The best documentation about this can be found in IBM's "z/OS Unix
System
  Services Planning" manual.





  Cheers,


  Wolfgang

        Dear Group,

        We are running z/OS V1R8. In the *NIX world may things require root
access.
        The easy path was just make everybody a UID of 0. We are trying not
        to do that with my userid.
        However without being a superuser all I see from my ps -ef is this:

        SY4019:/SYSTEM/ etc: >ps -ef
        UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
        SY4019 50331802 1 - 13:04:13 ? 0:03 OMVS
        SY4019 83886258 50331802 - 16:07:53 ttyp0000 0:03 -sh
        SY4019 67109053 83886258 - 17:42:48 ttyp0000 0:00 ps -ef
        SY4019:/SYSTEM/ etc: >

        I read the System Services Command Reference about ps and it says I will
        only see those processes "the user" has approriate privileges to access.
        It goes on to say it will support a list of users with the -U option. I
did
        not see an /etc/shadow file on the system that would have alist of all
        users. I typed in sudo, but got: "sudo: FSUM7351 not found".

        Q). What solutions have the rest of you come up with to use a
non-superuser
        ID in Openedition and still be able to get anything done?

        Thank you, Dave H.

dozen years since I have played with an RJE session on an MVS

That threw me.  Thanks again for pointing me to the start of the

Hi,

read about device status allocation, and it shows samples of how to
enter the commands.  Why don't I see the results of the command or an

Hi,
since this message was posted already 2 months ago, you might have
found a solution already.

If not, here some hints:

- passing information to a TSO-user from within a rexx is no big deal.
You got the userid, you know the returncode that you want to set and
you can code a "TSO SEND '.....' USER(..) LOGON " from within your
REXX.

- getting the information about Job, Jobstep etc is not as easy, but
can also be achieved. What you need to do is to write a small program
in COBOL and call this program from within your REXX, retrieve the
information produced by the program and add it to your TSO Send
command
Here is a link to one of a couple of sites where you will find how
such a program looks like:

http://supportline.microfocus.com/documentation/books/mx25sp1/cocblk.h
tm

The trick behind that program is simple:
SET ADDRESS OF PSA TO NULL.
From this point onward you can get information from most structures
in your address space and around.

If you need other information apart from Jobname,job number and other
infos found in this sample however, it will be tedious work and you
will have to have some knowledge of the internal structures of z/OS

Best regards

What i am looking for his a way to send the JOBNAME, JOB NUMBER and

like the same information that is available from the NOTIFY parm on
the JOBCARD in JES2 that sends the information to the TSO userid.  Is

Thanks, Gerard and a hello to Luxemburg!

I will have to correct myself: the 11 to 15 TB data is
the overall data for the application.
The data which I named "customer data" is read-only data and about
20GB.
The incoming data daily is about 100GB and processed against the
20GB mentioned above producing a multiple of its input as output.

So this reduces the amount of daily processed data considerably.

Since you have experience in migrating a larger system, do you have
also knowledge about DB2 on AIX with a p5/p6 type machine?

I was told that DB2(UDB) performs better on a p6 than on z/OS due to
dedicated processors. Even if you do not have heard about it,
somemone else might.

I am looking for someone who has tried or/and achieved the downsizing
of a project from the mainframe to a UNIX platform.

The application specifics of our application are:
- BATCH-driven (Dialogs are insignificant), mainly COBOL (about 800
programs)
- 150 million input records to process per day
- 11 to 15 TB of customer data (which the input records "read")
- a BATCH window of 10 hours daily
- high usage of virtual storage/main storage/data spaces

At first glance this application does not look SUITABLE for
downsizing, but management sometimes has funny ideas....

If someone of you has experience with downsizing similar pplications,
here are my questions

- what degradation (if any) did you experience regarding THRUPUT?
- What experience did you make transforming your current scheduling
system to a unix based one? Do you need more intervention than
before? Can a fully automated system run fully automated on UNIX
boxes?
- how did you cope with high usage of virtual storage/RAM on your
UNIX boxes?

I would be grateful for any hint!

Hi,

     I have a job stream that executes a rexx exec at the end . What i am looking for his a way to send the JOBNAME, JOB NUMBER and  Highest Condition Code to the last step which is a REXX exec. I would like the same information that is available from the NOTIFY parm on the JOBCARD in JES2 that sends the information to the TSO userid.  Is there anyway i can get the information and pass it to the REXX exec?

The REXX Exec is a simple socket SMTP email to notify users. 

Can this be done without storing variables? Also I heard of CONDCODE rexx exec from XMITIP. Does anyone have a working copy and how it works?

I am just trying to send the NOTIFY message to email users instead of TSO

Thanks for your help.

Hello group,

I tried to run the ´sample´ IBM password copy utility on z/OS 1.7 and
z/OS 1.8. The tool runs without errors, but the copied password could
not be used. Has anyone recently used this IBM tool? Or has someone
used an alternative to copy passwords between RACF databases or users.

In my case, users are going to be renamed. Since this will be done
using ´big bang´ it´s not a good idea to give everyone a new password,
transporting the old password would be a great help.

Thanks for helping!

Regards
Wolfgang Schaefer

Hi Lennart,

if you need to wait for the completion, you could use ftp and the
host´s ftp server (quote filetype=jes). If you simply want to submit
the job, the ´tso´shell command does not support the SUBMIT command
because it is authorized. But for this case you can download a little
program named "tsocmd" from IBM´s uss website, which allows you to
run any TSO command from the shell. But then of course the batch runs
asynch.

Regards
Wolfgang
