Re: Mount Scratch
HSM is apparently trying to recycle it's tapes (move used data to other volumes to free up unused tape space).? If you don't have the HSM tapes in question (700105, 70062 etc.) then just stop HSM from running, it will be called most likely in your case, DFHSMA.?
P DFHSMA???? will shut it down. Then just don't start it automatically when you IPL, and if you don't know how to change automation, just go into proclib and make a JCL error in DFHSMA so that when it gets autostarted that it just gets a JCL error and ends.? Hopefully you can do the change in automation because if whoever setit up is any good then probably have a timer based check to make sure everything is running that should be running (in their opinion).? Without the missing tapes, HSM is pretty useless. |

If there is one thing that will piss off IBM (and turn them against Hercules) it's doing that!! More than likely whatever you are trying to do works just fine when run on real IBM hardware, and thus is more than likely a Hercules-only issue (bug) and NOT a z/OS issue/bug. If it is indeed a bug in z/OS, then it should be reproducible on real hardware, in which case it should be reported. But if it's something that seems to only occur under Hercules DO *NOT* report it to IBM! Report it to the Hercules team instead! Thanks. -- "Fish" (David B.

I expect you would get more useful suggestions from other places such as the IBM-MAIN list at where practically everyone on the list knows lots about z/OS and its various components.

Re: Mount Scratch
Good afternoon, the only administrator is us,
we are trying to see why it happens.
We find the following scenario:
We have put hold recycle/migration/dump/backup/recall and canceled all the requests against HSM, then we have put in release recycle, put an available tape and sent a recycle but it continues to fail and does not do any recycle.
We have done another test activating the migration and trying to send a file to migrate and everything is ok.
It seems like HSM ignores the recycles we send it and continues to spit out that message nonstop.
it may be that HSM has become a little bird and you have to restart it? |

The message AOF570I 03:38:41 : ISSUED "MVS R 58,CANCEL" FOR MVSESA MVSESA - 203 is presumably issued by Automated Ops which is an IBM product (but may not have been originally). The tape mounts seem to be issued by DFHSM when attempting to recycle volumes. Perhaps this system is a partial back up of an MVS/ESA or later system without copies of the relevant tape library volumes? Do you wish to persist with using DFHSM? If not, don't start it. If so, you may have to issue DELVOLs for inaccessible volumes. I expect the storage administrator of the system from which this system is a copy could tell you how to do those. Cheers, Greg |
Re: Mount Scratch
The reason the message is answered is that BSPilot is running.? you can disable it.? look in sys1.proclib for its proc.?? one you have the manual control then you can issue devinit to read your tapes. regards; Rahim ? ??

IKT00405I SCREEN ERASURE CAUSED BY ERROR RECOVERY PROCEDURE
Anyone that can help me figure out what is causing this message:?
IKT00405I SCREEN ERASURE CAUSED BY ERROR RECOVERY PROCEDURE when trying to connect a terminal.? No it is not connected as local terminal but connected via the IBM3705 emulator by Henk & Edwin which I have patched to handle BSC rather than SDLC. The BSC communication seems to be working since there are no NAKs seen in the logs and BSC TEXT messages are going in both directions as anticipated. But I get this message what ever I try to do on the terminal. Unfortuately my fluency in VTAM is not so good. This is the config file I have come up with. Basically adapted the one Henk & Edwin provided to handle BSC: Comments? Hints?

INTERCOMM Preservation Project Update
?
Last May, many of you expressed interest in helping to save the INTERCOMM TeleProcessing Monitor software, the most successful third-party TP monitor competing with CICS in the 1970s and 1980s.
?
I was the assistant and bug fixer, z/OS sysprog and Unix Flex/ES sysop, working for the last person who was supporting INTERCOMM. I had a copy of the last and to the best of my knowledge the only complete set of hard copy manuals and machine readable development, product release and support material for releases 9, 10 and 11. I asked and the owners of INTERCOMM agreed to release the product to the hobby computer community.
?
Mark Waterbury volunteered to scan the hard copy library into PDF format documents. Meanwhile Jay Maynard built a 3380 disk and a ready to run "turnkey" INTERCOMM R9 configured for the TK4- MVS 3.8j System. The manuals and the disk image can now be downloaded, see "Update:" on the INTERCOMM Group home page at [email protected]
?
Whether you would like to learn, design and write your own online transaction processing system, or to offer suggestions and share your recollections, or perhaps just to refresh your memory of INTERCOMM, I would like to invite you to join the newly created <[email protected]>.
?
You may know someone who worked in an INTERCOMM shop; please encourage them to join [email protected] to share their recollections and experiences.

If you have a data set containing records that - when browsing the data set with REVIEW - you want formatted such that the names of the record's items are shown across the top, and underneath are the values of those items from the records that are on screen, and you have the structure of the record described by a DSECT or similar assembler code residing in a PDS allocated to the REVFMTS DD, then you can issue the command FORMAT XYZ where XYZ is really the name of the member containing the assembler source, and the records will be formatted accordingly.? Fields of F and H types will be converted to decimal - but I did not bother with floating point support, so they will be shown in hex. Assembler source for the record layouts pertaining to your application of interest are not provided in the REVIEW/RFE package. And then there's the matter of more sophisticated assembler source easily fooling my crumby source code parsing.? Still, if you keep it simple it should work. If browsing a VTOC with a command such as REV 'FORMAT4.DSCB' VOL(PUB001) where PUB001 is replaced by the actual volume serial with the VTOC to be browsed, then you do not need to have the layout of the format-1 DSCB in assembler source in a member of a PDS allocated to the REVFMTS DD to issue FMT ON and have the various DSCB fields broken out.? Note that all DSCBs are treated as if they are format-1 (or format-8) DSCBs. If REVIEWing a VTOC, and the primary input area is primed with TSO REV and the cursor is placed on a line showing data from a format-1 DSCB, then that data set will be browsed by REVIEW even if the cursor is not on the actual data set name, and even if the data set name is not on-screen at the time. The above represents the design goals that more or less worked at one time - I have not tested some of these aspects lately and so if you find anything that no longer works then please let me know. One thing I do use a lot that still works is browsing a data set nominated by the cursor location when the entire data set name is visible on the screen line.? Sometimes I want to look at another member in the same PDS I am already looking at without exiting the member being viewed.? Since I usually forget to use the PFK I have set to TSO REV, I type in TSO REV and then move the cursor up one line, and press <enter>. Moving the cursor up 1 line (to the actual top line of the screen) places the cursor over the name of the data set being browsed.? Note that in this particular case, this still works even if the data set name has been temporarily replaced by a message (presumably reporting results from the previous command). When using IBM's ISPF and editing JCL, sometimes I want to check whether a particular data set already exists or not.? In REVEDIT with DSNC ON, the data set name JCL highlighting indicates this, but this is not the case with ISPF.? I sometimes elect to attempt a point-and-shoot REVIEW of the data set as a quick way to find out whether I need DISP=NEW or DISP=OLD. Cheers, Greg |
Re: REVIEW/RFE Release 50.0

It could of course also have been the fault of whatever program OCR'ed the original manual, which I'm guessing was more than likely coded correctly with two single-apostrophe characters, but which upon being OCR'ed, ended up being interpreted as a single DOUBLE-quote character instead, which you then simply copy & pasted into your HTML email as-is.

Apropos of nothing, recalling a story at my first job back in 1980s ... One of our system programmers put?Top Secret Security (a RACF competitor) on our production MVS/SP system that had been up (naked) for several months and had live production running on it. He loaded TSS, installed it, brought up it in warn-only mode, and generally took his time so he didn't shoot production processing in the butt (or the head). But in the midst of this process, one day I heard a loud "Oops!" from him three cubicles away. He then rose calmly yet purposely, and strolled directly into the machine room (presumably to halt the batch initiators while he fixed whatever the "Oops!" was for.)? I mention this because I'm going to put RAKF 1.2.0 on my TK3SU-based FrankenSystem.? I was following the first couple of steps as I read them, and then … I stopped.?
