imene - I'm not quite following you.

If you look here:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPCD_9.5.0/com.ibm.ondemand.administeringmp.doc/dodsc001.htm

Name is varchar(60).

Perhaps the doc is off?

Tips and Tricks / Easy way to validate if it's well-formed AFP
« on: September 24, 2020, 12:00:56 PM »
One way is to run the arsafpd program against the AFP file.

Another way is use the AFP Plug-in for IE11 and view the file.

I just installed the AFP Plug-in on my PC, was super easy.

Downloaded binary from /where you have CMOD installed/www/plugins/afpplgin.exe

Ran the Install Shield which found IE11 automatically.

Then opened the AFP file using "Open With" IE11.

z/OS Server / Displaying OAM and OSREQ reason code information
« on: September 14, 2020, 02:02:00 PM »
You can display reason code information for the OAM and OSREQ macros directly from a console or a TSO session, as of APAR OA58344 for V2R3 or later. These commands can also be invoked via JCL to aid in automation of error information capturing in real time.

General / Re: Failed Loading AFP to OD server
« on: September 10, 2020, 06:10:21 AM »
Try running your input file through arsafpd to see if it's well-formed AFP:

MP Server / Re: CMOD File Size Limit
« on: September 10, 2020, 06:05:46 AM »
  This is Linux environment and will be PPD files.

Linux on z?  There is at least one difference between Linux on z and Linux on other platforms.

I don't have an official answer because I'll admit I don't completely understand what the interplay of resource collection and whether the PDFs use the standard fonts may have.

Is this on z/OS, will this be loading to OAM?

You may run into the OAM MOS (Maximum Object Size) limit which takes an IPL to increase.

Will you be indexing on zLinux?

Tips and Tricks / ARSEXOAM Job - How To Trace
« on: September 01, 2020, 12:11:52 PM »
Use the following parameters to collect a trace from an ARSEXOAM job:

//STEP1    EXEC PGM=ARSEXOAM,REGION=0M         
//STEPLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ARS.xxx.SARSLOAD
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DB2.xxx.SDSNEXIT
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DB2.xxx.SDSNLOAD
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DB2.xxx.SDSNLOD2
//DSNAOINI DD PATH='/etc/ars/Vxxx/cli.ini'     
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                         
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                         
//ARSPARM  DD *                                                         
  odinstance=ARCHIVE                                                   
  oduser=<USERNAME>                                                         
  oduserpw=<PASSWORD>                                                     
  commitcnt=1                                                           
  unloadmax=1                                                           
  tracefile=/tmp/expir1.trc                                             
  tracecomp=390EXP=15
/*

And then format the trace with arstfmt before attempting to view or sending to support.

z/OS Server / ARSLOAD CPU savings - non-SSL environment
« on: August 27, 2020, 09:28:24 AM »
****************************************************************

z/OS Server / CMOD 10.5 Release Notes
« on: August 10, 2020, 11:51:57 AM »
This is an oldie that tripped up an install.

z/OS V2.3 is a pre-req, but also this very old LE APAR / PTF from 2017:

z/OS Server / APAR for easing migration of exits
« on: August 05, 2020, 01:40:10 PM »

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All Content Manager OnDemand for z/OS 10.1   *
*                 and above customers                          *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When calling 31-bit arsusec and         *
*                      arsuperm, there is no DB2 connection    *
*                      established when the exit is invoked.   *
****************************************************************
Although not documented as part of the arsusec and arsuperm
APIs, it so happened in 9.5 and below that the exits were
invoked with a DB2 connection.  The support in 10.1 for calling
the 31-bit exits did not invoke the exits with a DB2 connection.
In order to ease the process of upgrading, support is being
added to allow the arsuperm and arsusec exits with a DB2
connection established.

Problem conclusion

A new ars.cfg setting, ARSMVS_EXIT31_DB2_SECPERM, is being
provided.  If specified as ARSMVS_EXIT31_DB2_SECPERM=1, the
arsusec and arsuperm exits will be invoked with an ODBC DB2
connection.  Note that these will be additional DB2 batch
connections above that implied by ARS_NUM_DBSRVR.

Tips and Tricks / JES2 Parm Checker
« on: August 03, 2020, 01:37:45 PM »
Maybe old news to many of you but I just learned of this:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.hasa300/run_dscheck.htm

I used what looked like the easiest method:

//JES2CHK JOB blah blah blah                     
//JES2    EXEC JES2               
//IEFPROC.HASPLIST DD SYSOUT=A   


This is what I got on my system:

First an echoing of all of the JES2 parms and where they came from.

Then this:

DIAGNOSTIC   WARNING    $HASP465 RMT2 SPECIFIES INVALID LINE VALUE

and
