z/OS Server / Re: Why am I getting this error? I cannot find any documentation anywhere!

We found this info useful today.  In our case it was REGION size that needed to be bumped up.
Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, Rod.

Yeah, it's amazing sometimes how much virtual CMOD uses.

Do you have an input exit which might be getting in the way?

Report Indexing / Re: Version 10.1 new Unique ID fields

« on: April 17, 2018, 09:39:28 AM »

Greg - just throwing in my two cents...

Haven't worked with this at all, but during training I did jot down these note...says it should be automatically generated.

Generates a unique identifier for every row loaded into OnDemand

o Configurable per application group
o String field of length 36 bytes
−Example:
ac9223b3-f741-4608-ba92-749fda48d866
o If defined, then automatically generated during load
o If multiple rows to same document, each row has its own unique identifier
−Previously with ERM –such rows could not participate in ERM
o Only applies to new data loaded

DB2 ABEND 00C90101

From DB2 Level 2 description:

This is a known problem to us.   It has to do with synchronization of a
shadow copy of a DBET (Database Exception Table - Internal to DB2 )     
entry with its master copy in the SCA.  There's small timing window   
where an object,  a NPI has grown a new piece,  but this info hasn't   
been sync'd with the member shadow copies.  This discrepancy causes the
sanity check to kick off which subsequently causes the abend.           
                                                                       
In this case it was for UNIQUE INDEX xxxxxxxxxxxxxx built on table     
yyyyyyyyyyyyyy which is in a PBG tablespace with MAXPARTS 1000.     
                                                                       
This abend is from PI58369 / UI44629 which is marked PE.   We recommend
that you remove this ptf to circumvent this abend.  If not,  you can   
apply the Fixing APAR PI87946 / UI51196.

z/OS Server / Re: Remove the Begin Separator Page from ARSYSPIN

« on: March 21, 2018, 07:58:50 AM »

Just a wild guess:

comment out whatever is in INPEXIT
                   
add outsep=yes to ARSYSPIN parms to allow ARSYSPIN to generate the seperater records.

z/OS Server / Re: Is OnDemand V9.0 and V9.5 for z/OS compatible with ACIF 4.6 HQN4460?

« on: March 01, 2018, 12:53:24 PM »

A full set of test buckets has been run and it's official:

All currently available releases of CMOD (that's v9.5 and V10.1) fully support ACIF V4.6 with APAR PI93196 installed.
________________________________________________________

I am told that for big AFP input files the performance is much better due to this enhancement:

ACIF V4.6 reduces the frequency that GETMAIN and FREEMAIN are called from once for every record of the input file to once for the input file. This change is designed to reduce processing time for jobs with many records

Also, this line item may be of interest:

ACIF V4.5 does not recognize the x'0C' form feed character as the start of a new page. The user must provide an ACIF user exit that removes the x'0C' form feed character and inserts an x'F1' ANSI carriage control at the beginning of each page.

ACIF V4.6 recognizes the X'0C' form feed character as a new page indicator which removes the need for the special user exit.

Unfortunately, I don't have anything that I can use to open the AFP.

Not an expert on MP, more of a z guy, but can you use arsafpd to check for possible AFP errors in the input?

I'd say that the majority of the z world is on CMOD V9.5 and DB2 V11, so you're approaching well-plumbed waters.

1. make sure you're current on CMOD service (typical Level 2 recommendation)

2. I keep a running list of DB2 problems exposed by CMOD.  Make sure  you have the following installed to prevent wheel re-invention:

Active/Active is only available on z/OS.

No longer true as of CMOD v10.1.

High availability active-active is now available on AIX.

10.1.0.2 has fixed at least a couple usability errors in scrolling --- is much more pleasant to use.
