 We are in the process of planning the migration from MVS/XA 2.2.0
 (JES2) to ESA.  We need information and recommendations for any
 education courses/seminars one should attend to learn about
 the differences of XA vs. ESA. I am sure many of you have already
 gone through this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes.  CDF disks use 800-byte blocks, while EDF disks use 512, 1, 2, or 4K
blocks.  So you can forget *this* worry.

Chuck:  An alternative to CL/SuperSession might be VTAM/SWITCH.  We have
been using the VM version for about two years.  We are quite satisfied with
it.  Of course, other products might have more bells and whistles but they
probably cost more.  The VM and VSE versions are $2500 and the MVS is $4500.
We use the VM version to control multiple sessions into CMS, multiple
sessions of CICS and multiple sessions of CONDOR.

Yes - only CMS minidisks with a blocksize of 800 are CDF format.

Actually, ESA has little to do with supporting CDF - that's primarily a CMS
function.  But IBM is assuming that you will be running something greater than
CMS 6, which is the last CMS to support CDF disks.  Thus, if you run CMS 5.6
under VM/ESA then you can still use CDF formatted disks provided CP doesn't
need to get to em - which doesn't apply to general user disks.

Jon,
     Only disks that are CP Owned need be reformatted, and then only
Cylinder 0 depending upon whats on the volume.  If you are using the
SDO offerering you will need 3 'free' 3380's or equal in size
allocation for the installation.

If you are using DSF to do a cylinder 0 reallocation to ESA format,
use DSF Release 14, if you have it or can get it.  Don't use 13A, especially
if its an ESA IPL volume or alternate.  DSF 13A can make a VM/ESA volume
non-iplable after re-allocation if its the SDO ESARES volume.

As it turns out, we synchronize our aliases every day from the ACF2
logonid data base.  If we delete all our aliases, we simply run the
program to restore them all, so that's one of our "lesser" problems.

Subject:      Candle products and alternatives.
Comments: To: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@RICEVM1.uwo.ca>

Our site has been a long term user of several Candle Corp products under
both MVS and VM. In that time we have upgraded our CPUs a number of times
and have moved up through a few CPU classifications. In re-negotiating
our contract with Candle, our CPU growth history has come to light and
Candle wishes to significantly update our maintenance fees skyward.

At this point we need to begin the process of looking for alternatives
to our current stable of Candle products. I would be interested in
hearing from anyone who has switched from Candle products to a
competitor's product in the recent past -or- from anyone who has done
an in-depth evaluation of the Candle products listed below and selected
the non-Candle product:


     CL/SuperSession (MVS)            - VTAM multisession manager
     Omegamon/MVS                     - MVS realtime monitor
     Epilog/MVS                       - MVS performance trends

     Omegamon/VM                      - VM realtime monitor
     Epilog/VM                        - VM performance trends


Given that newer, faster CPUs are likely to be on the horizon at our site
and that we are looking to get into longer term contracts with our
vendors for software maintenance; how have your vendors dealt with
graduated license fees in a long term contract when the life of the
contract exceeds the life the iron the product will reside on?

We have run into this issue a couple of times in the last few months
where upon learning that we upgraded our CPU since the contract was
signed the vendors sent us a retroactive bill for the difference.
In response, we have sent the vendors involved retroactive cancellation
notices and have moved on to other vendors who have contract language
which more addresses the "real world".

Thanks for any comments you can provide.

You can extract/print parts of books, but not the entire book.  Note
that this is a "flat text" extraction, not a fancy-fonts laserprinter
extraction.  With READ/2, it interfaces with the clipboard, as
described in this extract from "SAA BookManager READ/2:  Displaying
Online Books", SB35-0801-02, (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1990, 1992:
    ________________________________________________________________________

    9.0  Copying from a Book

    The copy function allows you to temporarily store information from your
    book on the OS/2 clipboard.  (Refer to your OS/2 documentation for a
    complete description of the clipboard function.)  After you have copied
    material to the clipboard, you can insert it into other windows (such as
    Search Book or Create Margin Note) or use it in other OS/2 applications.
    See "Pasting from the OS/2 Clipboard" in topic 9.3 for more information
    about these uses of the clipboard.

    Note:  Before copying from a copyrighted book, make sure you fully
    understand any legal implications.

    There are two ways to copy text to the OS/2 clipboard:

    1.  Mark an area of text in the Topic window to be copied to the
        clipboard.

    2.  Select a topic heading in the Table of Contents window to copy the
        entire topic to the clipboard.

    The clipboard has a capacity of 64K bytes (K equals 1024) or approximately
    800 lines of text.  Each line can contain up to 256 characters.
    ________________________________________________________________________

I believe that READ/VM has similar features, although I'm not sure what
it uses instead of the clipboard (probably a CMS file on your A-disk).

One or two products also provide their pubs in "raw" SCRIPT format, so
that you can modify them (if you want) and print them off on your
friendly local laser printer, complete with illustrations.  However,
most products (that I have heard of) are only providing on-line pubs in
BookManager READ format...

Subject:      SCSI Tape Drives on 4381 Channels

I have been getting some information with someone4 at bus-tech inc.
about their adapter that lets you put SCSI tape drives on a 4381 mainframe.

Fujitsu sells a SCSI drive that uses standard 3480 cartridges.

It it supposed to look to the host like a 3420, but it can read/write
3480 carts....even get software distribution from IBM on carts..

Is anyone else doing this?  Any comments and suggestions?

The reason we are looking into this is because we are evaluating
whether to stay in the mainframe environment or go to a unix box...

If we spend $$$ on tape drives, we may want to buy SCSI drives so that
if we drop the mainframe, the drives and carts could be used for the
unix box.

Any comments would be appreciated..

thanks..

Organization: UW-Parkside
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1992 13:56:55 GMT

Hello,
  Once again confusion strikes !  We are migrating to ESA from SP and had to
install VTAM 3.3 from our prior version of 3.1.2 .  Now, we kept both of our
NCP (4.2.0) and SSP (3.2.0) from the previous setup.  We have two CDRMs' set
up one four our HOST (UWPHOST) and another for an external setup (ADPNODE).
  We now receive an error when activating the NODE, with a sense code of 084E.
Which nicely transfers to the NETID is incorrect.  In the previous version of
VTAM a NETID was not coded (warn: Gateway Functions not Supported), but now
we were required to code one!  So, I tossed one in and Lo! it still would not
work.  The NODE we connect to does not SHOW a NETID so they may be a release
behind.  My question(s) are as follows:
 
1) Is there a simple way to get around this ?
2) Do we have to UPGRADE NCP and SSP ?
3) Would we have to ask the other side to code a NETID ?
4) Do I have to code a GWPATH statement and NETWORK cards in the VBUILD ?
5) Do I (as I feel) nake absolutely no sense ?
 
Thank You in Advance for All help, Past and Present INCLUDED !!!

READ/VM is slow (yes, BookManager Development knows this!), and the
3270 interface leaves something to be desired.  I'm told that READ/MVS
is very fast, although I assume that it suffers from the same 3270
interface.  I use READ/2 (under OS/2 2.0) for all of my on-line books,
and am pretty happy; however, it is a bit slow running on my 16 MHz
PS/2 Model 80.

We've got close to 2000 IBM manuals in BookManager format spinning on
our VM system; I access them from my OS/2 system with the recently-
announced Workstation-LAN File Server (WLFS) product.

We use NSC (Network Systems Corp) "DX" (I think) boxes to connect MVS
and VM to the FDDI ring.  The IBM TCP/IP "hyperchannel" driver is
used, as shipped by IBM.  We recently had a lot of trouble with the
NSC boxes, and our network guy has been extremely unhappy with them.
(One of them would crash frequently, probably due to weird data on the
ring.  When it was booted, the other two would crash.  Sometimes
bringing them back would cause the first one to crash.  We had an NSC
guy living here for a week.  I don't know what the resolution turned
out to be.)

> The options appear to be a 3172 mod 3 or a RS/6000 channel attached.

At least if you go with one of the IBM solutions, if it doesn't work,
they'll make it work.  Based on comments which have been made on
IBMTCP-L about the 3172 performance, I think I'd recommend the RS/6000.

Hello Helpful People !
 
  We are having a problem with TOKEN RING Connections under VM/VTAM 3.3 .
After bringing VTAM up, LAN users can connect as usual.  After exiting from
their SESSION and returning to the NETWORK, RECONNECTION to the MAINFRAME
results in a '510' Communication check.  Displaying the PU and LU show
that the status is INACTIVE and the DESIRED STATUS is INACTIVE !!!!!
  It should be PCTD2 I beleive.  Is there a parameter I have to code to
tell VTAM to test the STATUS ?
**** VERY IMPORTANT ****
After returning to the LAN NETWORK,  WE receive a message HCPVER575I ******
I/O error occured on device 0A21, userid=VTAM.
 
These errors occur only on the TOKEN RING PU/LU's.
 
 
Our current setup is as follows
VM/ESA 1.1
VTAM 3.3
and an IBM 3174-11L

This setup worked fine under VM/SP 5 and VTAM 2.2 ??
 
Any ideas or questions ?

the MCA record which contains the original dataset name at offset x'44'.

       HSEND FIXCDS A 'HSM.HMIG.Txxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxxx.Ixxx' DIS

For the backup display the MCC record, the original dataset name is at x'40'

previously taken place on IBM-MAIN.  You might search the logs.)

I think that trying to make the CBIPO master catalog look like the
current master catalog is the wrong approach.  In your current master
catalog, be sure that (a) all sysres datasets use indirect volser, and
(b) all datasets which are on the new sysres but not on the current
one are added anyway (with indirect volser).  Then fix the SYSCATxx
member on your new system to use the current master catalog.  This
method is only good if you take down the production system and bring
up the new sysres as the production system.  For a test system, I'd
suggest making copies of all the required datasets.

If the new master catalog is in fact for testing only, then the define
recatalog may be reasonable, even with the limitations you've
discovered.  If you're sharing linklist datasets between your
production and test systems, I don't think that you want to rename
them from your test system.

I replace my production sysres on the average of once a year (via
CBIPO), but I *never* change master catalogs.  Among other problems,
synchronizing all the aliases would be a big problem.

Subject:      MVS Tuning Software

CPExpert by Computer Management Sciences is a software package that
analyzes SYS1.PARMLIB members, SRM, and SMF/RMF data and provides
MVS and CICS tuning suggestions based on expert system rules.

Does anyone know of other packages that perform a similar function?
