Perhaps the OAM threads are all busy. 

Please look at the ARS_NUM_OAMSRVR= parameter in the /usr/lpp/ars/config/ars.cfg.

What do you have that value set to?

z/OS Server / II14842: OAM OBJECT USERS, DIAGNOSE OUT-OF-SYNC COLLECTION ENTRIES

« on: October 31, 2017, 07:54:12 AM »

Bottom line is that z/OS V2R3 OAM changes how OAM keeps track of things.  If OAM's internal information was manipulated (changed via an SQL UPDATE command for example) outside of OAM commands, z/OS V2R3 can expose errors that previously remained hidden.

z/OS Server / Re: 'export' of all data from one OD-instance to another

« on: October 31, 2017, 07:33:05 AM »

2) Is it anyone who has tried to use the new function in z/OS 2.3, using two
oam-plexes in the same lpar ?

In a conversation last week with OAM Level 2 I asked this very question.

The answer is absolutely you can have two different OAMplexes active in the same LPAR.

Any other Permission to be checked?

I'm out of ideas. 

Do you have a date when you plan to upgrade that system?

You're probably already done this but can you try some other userids who should have the proper authority?

I know, a long shot, but it's the only thing I can think of trying.

z/OS Server / Re: ARSLOAD Problem with Documents greater than 100 MB

« on: October 27, 2017, 08:00:02 AM »

I think Greg has nailed it.

address space     36928k

36 meg?  You should be running REGION=0M and getting over a gig of private area.

| Make sure you run the ulimit -a under the userid associated with the load.

| Here's sample JCL:

//ULIMIT   JOB (BLAH,REPORT),'ARNOLD',CLASS=A,REGION=0M,
//             MSGCLASS=X,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),USER=ARSSERVR 
//STEP31 EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,REGION=0M                   
//STDPARM  DD *

z/OS Server / z/OS Parms for DB2 Performance

« on: October 25, 2017, 10:34:11 AM »

At its heart, CMOD is a DB2 application.

There are two operating system parms that I'm aware of to benefit DB2.

I'm not going to go into detail on them as they're easily google-able.

1. USEZOSV1R9RULES(NO)

Set via your DIAGxx.

Can also be implemented dynamically with a SET DIAG=xx command.

To see if you have this enabled use the operator command D DIAG

D DIAG                       
IGV007I 12.36.01 DIAG DISPLAY
...     
VSM USEZOSV1R9RULES(NO)     
...

2. MEMDSENQMGMT:  ENABLE

Set via your ALLOCxx

Can also be implemented dynamically using SETALLOC SYSTEM,MEMDSENQMGMT=ENABLE

To see if you have it enabled use the operator command D ALLOC,OPTIONS

D ALLOC,OPTIONS                 
IEFA003I 13.19.40 ALLOC OPTIONS
SPACE           foo                   
UNIT            foo           
TIOT            foo           
SDSN_WAIT       foo       
VOLUME_ENQ      foo         
VOLUME_MNT      foo         
SPEC_WAIT       foo         
ALLC_OFFLN      foo         
CATLG_ERR       foo     
2DGT_EXPDT      foo         
VERIFY_VOL      foo         
SYSTEM          foo
                MEMDSENQMGMT:     ENABLE

Note:  if implementing dynamically I believe you need to bring up DB2 after the parms are set.

I have no benchmarks, sorry.

Report Indexing / Re: ACIF Indexer and Posting Date

« on: October 24, 2017, 11:52:00 AM »

Currently running 8.5.0...Will be upgrading, I believe, to 9.5....

First off, glad you resolved your issue.

On z/OS, at least, ACIF is a separate product from CMOD and can be separately ordered.

Hopefully you're on ACIF V4.5 with all service applied, independent of whatever level of CMOD you're running.

I know there are improvements in the OS/390 Indexer in the latest release including new and better error messages.

I can't speak to ACIF, but are you on the latest release and service level?

On z I'm on ACIF V4.5.0 and APAR  PI72113.

z/OS Server / Re: 9.5 Release notes

« on: October 17, 2017, 10:35:09 AM »

Symptom:   arsload fails with U4088 rc=78 in ArcCSX_UpdtExit program ARNCSX

Cause:  Pre 9.5, the arsuupdt DLL was non-xplink, and the rest of arsload was 
xplink, requiring a stack swap.  Starting at 9.5, both arsload and arsuupdt are   
xplink, avoiding the swap.   

Quick cure:  Recompile a non-XPLINK version of ARSUUPDT.  Using the COBOL ARSUUPDC for the arsuupdt executable makes that dll non-xplink again.

Longer term: Whoever provided the custom code will have to update their version according to this doc:

Report Indexing / Re: XML Indexing - Getting Started With A Proof of Concept

« on: October 11, 2017, 12:26:55 PM »

Justin - in the big scheme of things, it's not that many files.

However, it would make life a lot easier for others if I created a local server for the AP, AG, and FOLDER and zipped that up.

I could add a .txt to the end of the zip file or if you want to add zip files to the authorized list that would be fine, too.

z/OS Server / Re: ARSYSPIN running on different LPAR failing to use unified logon

« on: October 11, 2017, 11:34:31 AM »

Jayem -

a) have you verified this:

...it is important that the arsload owner has a unique OMVS uid defined...

b) have you verified all the steps 1-9?
