The fixes for the VSE/POWER APARs are now available. That is you can apply the APARs for the new function as described in my earlier blog entry "VSE/POWER commands with positional operand *JOBN can now address jobs with matching end of jobname "JOBN"".   VSE/POWER z/VSE 6.1 APAR DY47712 (PTF UD54229-61G): AFTER INSTALL OF DY47704, POWER SAS APPLICATION GENERATED WITH NEW PWRSPL WILL RECEIVE RC/FDBK=08/10 FROM VSE/POWER z/VSE 5.2 APAR DY47709 (PTF UD54228-52G) Error description : When new PWRSPL version DY47704...

A few weeks ago I informed you about a VSE/POWER new function APAR: "VSE/POWER commands with positional operand *JOBN can now address jobs with matching end of jobname "JOBN"", see here . Please do not yet install the corresponding PWRSPL PTFs, because a problem showed up. We will provide a PTF shortly, that will correct this problem. Below are the new APAR/PTF numbers.   VSE/POWER z/VSE 6.1 APAR DY47712 (PTF UD54229-61G): AFTER INSTALL OF DY47704, POWER SAS APPLICATION GENERATED WITH NEW PWRSPL WILL RECEIVE... [More]

A few days ago there was a discussion about that subject on VSE-L. Today I have a more detailed information about VSE/POWER message 1QAAI. Thanks for the details, Martin.   Message 1QAAI is shown when VSE/POWER prints output to z/VM via a LST task started with option VM, e.g. PSTART LST,00E,ABC,,VM The output is intersected by a call to VM/CP which passes the target user ID. If this userid is not defined in z/VM, the RC from z/VM is translated into message 1QAAI . The most common causes are: the LST task is started for the wrong class(es)... [More]

About three weeks ago I informed you about a new function - enhanced wild card support - available as VSE/POWER PTF - see here . The PTF was for z/VSE 5.2. In between this function is also available for z/VSE 6.1.   VSE/POWER APARs z/VSE 5.2 APAR DY47700 (PTF UD54218 / UD54219): VSE/POWER COMMANDS WITH POSITIONAL OPERAND *JOBN DON'T ADDRESS JOBS WITH MATCHING END OF JOBNAME "JOBN" z/VSE 6.1 APAR DY47704 (PTF UD54218 / UD54219): VSE/POWER COMMANDS WITH POSITIONAL OPERAND *JOBN DON'T ADDRESS JOBS WITH MATCHING END OF...

Some weeks ago there was a discussion on VSE-L about the position of the wild card in VSE/POWER commands. We took that as a requirement and will enhance the VSE/POWER wild card support in an APAR.   Today: When you specify e.g. the PALTER LST,*SYSA,CLASS=0 command, it addresses the same LST outputs as PALTER LST,SYSA*,CLASS=0 which lists all LST outputs starting with SYSA. The position of wild card is not considered due to historical reasons.     With the z/VSE 5.2 APAR DY47700 you can search job names ended with the specified... [More]

Today I wanted to understand the CPU usage of a specific job. That is I had to reset the CPU counters before application start and wanted to see the CPU utilization at the end. I could enter the console commands SYSDEF TD,RESETCNT (to reset counters at start) and QUERY TD (to show results at the end) on the z/VSE console.  I had to rerun that sequence multiple times. In such a case it is easier to use the DTRIATTN Utility. With DTRIATTN  you can include console commands into the VSE/POWER job itself. The (Attention Routine / console)... [More]
