Mainframe vendors developed innovative partitioning strategies and software and hardware pricing practices to compete with the less expensive RISC and Intel based platforms. The combination of these defensive strategies and the explosive growth in computing requirements in the late 1990s and 2000s were so successful that they actually contributed to a significant growth in mainframe installations during this time. IBM even cheerfully adopted the T-Rex as the mascot for its mainframe business in proud defiance to speculation on the extinction of the mainframe platform.<br /><blockquote></blockquote>Despite the best efforts of mainframe vendors, though, the platform remains much less flexible and more expensive than open systems alternatives. Although mainframes have not gone extinct overnight as some anticipated in the early 1990s, organizations are continually reviewing their options, and replacing these platforms one by one. As the scalability and reliability of open systems increases to rival that of mainframe systems the pace of mainframe migrations has started to accelerate in recent years.<br /><blockquote></blockquote>This paper examines two representative case studies to investigate the economic factors for migrating application work loads off of mainframe platforms in favor of open systems alternatives. The first case is based on a manufacturing company which retired its mainframe system by re-hosting an SAP implementation onto an Itanium based HP Integrity solution running Windows Server 2003. The second case examines the advantages of downsizing a mainframe installation by reviewing a financial services company, which moved several computationally intensive applications to a mixed environment of HP Integrity and HP ProLiant servers running Red Hat Linux.<br /><a href="http://www.alinean.com/PDFs/Intel-Mainframe_Migration-TCOStudy.pdf" target="_blank"><blockquote></blockquote>Read More/Try It</a><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/826749233554885464-1948290541792064595?l=www.mainframeebooks.com' alt='' /></div>Indian Bloggernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826749233554885464.post-33586565877220439662008-12-26T12:07:00.000-08:002008-12-26T13:30:53.718-08:00<div style="text-align: justify;">You can download various papers, articles and e books of VS COBOL II from here.

An effective SOA implementation requires very high Quality of Services (QoS) from the underlying environment, and users demand security, availability, and simplified management of the services. These are fundamental characteristics of System z and z/OS, making them an ideal platform on which to design an SOA.</div><div align="justify"><blockquote></blockquote>This paper presents an overview of SOA, describes the SOA reference architecture, and demonstrates how IBM System z and z/OS support the SOA requirements.

Tivoli OPC has a firm share of the mainframe scheduling market, and TWS is the scheduler of choice for distributed environments. Tivoli has now made available the Job Scheduling Console, addressing the end-to-end scheduling requirements that are central to multi-platform environments. Tivoli OPC 2.3 and Tivoli Workload Scheduler 7.0 can now be managed from this common graphical user interface, creating a best-of-breed cross-platform scheduling solution.</div><blockquote></blockquote><div align="justify">This IBM Redbook provides step-by-step setup instructions, as well as detailed troubleshooting guidelines for implementing OPC, TWS, and the Job Scheduling Console.

This document is not designed to teach you how to use DFSORT, but is for programmers who already have a basic understanding of DFSORT, and need a task-oriented guide and reference to its functions and options. If you are a new user, then you should read z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started first. z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started is a self-study guide that tells you what you need to know to begin using DFSORT quickly, with step-by-step examples and illustrations. </div><blockquote></blockquote><div align="justify">The various sections of this document present related information grouped according to tasks you want to do. The first three chapters of the document explain what you need to know to invoke and use DFSORT's primary record-processing functions. The remaining chapters explain more specialized features.

It describes how DFSORT works, discusses data set formats and limitations, and explains the defaults that might have been modified during installation at your site. </div><blockquote></blockquote><div align="justify">"Invoking DFSORT with Job Control Language" in topic 2.0, explains how to use job control language (JCL) to run your DFSORT jobs. It explains how to code JOB, EXEC, and DD statements, and how you can use cataloged procedures and EXEC PARM options to simplify your JCL and override DFSORT defaults set during installation. </div><blockquote></blockquote><div align="justify">"Using DFSORT Program Control Statements" in topic 3.0, presents the DFSORT control statements you use to sort, merge, and copy data. It explains how to filter your data so you work only with the records you need, how to edit data by reformatting and summing records, and how to produce multiple output data sets and reports. It explains how to write statements that direct DFSORT to use your own routines during processing. </div><blockquote></blockquote><div align="justify">"Using Your Own User Exit Routines" in topic 4.0, describes how to use DFSORT's program exits to call your own routines during program processing. You can write routines to delete, insert, alter, and summarize records, and you can incorporate your own error-recovery routines. </div><blockquote></blockquote><div align="justify">"Invoking DFSORT from a Program" in topic 5.0, describes how you use a system macro instruction to initiate DFSORT processing from your own assembler program. It also lists specific restrictions on invoking DFSORT from PL/I and COBOL. </div><blockquote></blockquote><div align="justify">"Using ICETOOL" in topic 6.0, describes how to use the multi-purpose DFSORT utility ICETOOL. It explains the JCL and operators you can use to perform a variety of tasks with ICETOOL. </div><blockquote></blockquote><div align="justify">"Using Symbols for Fields and Constants" in topic 7.0, explains how to define symbols and use them in DFSORT control statements and ICETOOL operators. </div><blockquote></blockquote><div align="justify">"Using Extended Function Support" in topic 8.0, explains how to use the Extended Function Support (EFS) interface to tailor control statements, to handle user-defined data types and collating sequences, and to have DFSORT issue customized informational messages during processing. </div><blockquote></blockquote><div align="justify">"Improving Efficiency" in topic 9.0, recommends ways with which you can maximize DFSORT processing efficiency. This chapter covers a wide spectrum of improvements you can make, from designing individual applications for efficient processing at your site to using DFSORT features such as Hipersorting, dataspace sorting, and ICEGENER. </div><blockquote></blockquote><div align="justify">"Examples of DFSORT Job Streams" in topic 10.0, contains annotated example job streams for sorting, merging, and copying records. </div><blockquote></blockquote><div align="justify">Appendix A, "Using Work Space" in topic A.0, explains main storage considerations and how to estimate the amount of intermediate storage you might require when sorting data. </div><blockquote></blockquote><div align="justify">Appendix B, "Specification/Override of DFSORT Options" in topic B.0, contains a series of tables you can use to find the order of override for similar options that are specified in different sources. </div><blockquote></blockquote><div align="justify">Appendix C, "Data Format Descriptions" in topic C.0, gives examples of the assembled data formats. </div><blockquote></blockquote><div align="justify">Appendix D, "EBCDIC and ISCII/ASCII Collating Sequences" in topic D.0, lists the collating sequences from low to high order for EBCDIC and ISCII/ASCII characters. </div><blockquote></blockquote><div align="justify">Appendix E, "DFSORT Abend Processing" in topic E.0, describes the ESTAE recovery routine for processing abends, and the Checkpoint/Restart facility. </div><div align="justify"><blockquote></blockquote>"Notices" in topic BACK_1, includes the notices, Programming Interface information, and the trademark list. </div><div align="justify"><blockquote></blockquote><a href="http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/handheld/Connected/BOOKS/ICE1CA10/CCONTENTS?SHELF=ICE1SH10&DN=SC26-7523-01&amp;DT=20050222160456" target="_blank">Click to Read More/Download</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/826749233554885464-2168283714328951200?l=www.mainframeebooks.com' alt='' /></div>Administratornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826749233554885464.post-50360529251771187172007-02-11T11:29:00.000-08:002007-02-11T11:25:25.592-08:00<div align="justify">z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started is a user's guide and tutorial for DFSORT(TM) (Data Facility Sort).

IBM's SystemView* strategy incorporates FFST as part of its problem management discipline.

FFST/MVS processes these software probes using its internal FFDC function. When one of these internal software probes is triggered, FFST/MVS issues a symptom string that describes the event. This symptom string appears in the dump and in the generic alert. The dump is a member of a partitioned data set, which is specified in the FFST/MVS startup procedure. The FFDC messages describe the member name and the data set that contain the dump; you can format the dump using the FFST dump formatting program, EPWDMPFM. For more information, see <a href="http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/EPW1A103/3.0?DT=19980728141519#HDROUTPUT" target="_blank">Chapter 3, "Using FFST Output" in topic 3.0</a>. </p><p align="justify">The software probes that FFST/MVS processes with its FFDC function can also be triggered for FFST/VM. However, FFST/VM does not have the FFDC function. As a result, when one of these software probes is triggered, FFST issues messages containing only the software probe's symptom string. </p><p align="justify">This book explains how to perform the following tasks: </p><ul><li><div align="justify">Use commands to control FFST operation </div></li><li><div align="justify">Use the different types of FFST output to identify and analyze software events </div></li></ul><p align="justify">The following people should read this book: </p><ul><li><div align="justify">System operators who need to control FFST operation </div></li><li><div align="justify">Support personnel who use FFST output to identify and analyze software events </div></li></ul><p align="justify"><a href="http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/EPW1A103/CCONTENTS" target="_blank">Click to Read More/Download</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/826749233554885464-4265235941712992254?l=www.mainframeebooks.com' alt='' /></div>Administratornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826749233554885464.post-74030146227467673822007-01-14T12:54:00.000-08:002007-01-14T12:56:49.092-08:00<div align="justify">The EREP Reference applies to EREP Version 3, Release 5. </div><blockquote></blockquote><div align="justify">The following operating systems can run EREP: </div><blockquote></blockquote><ul><li><div align="justify">DOS/VS, DOS/VSE, VSE/ESA, and VSE/Advanced Functions--known collectively in this book as VSE systems. </div></li><li><div align="justify">VS2, MVS/370, MVS/XA, MVS/ESA, and OS/390mdash.known collectively in this book as MVS systems. </div></li><li><div align="justify">VM/370, VM/SP, VM/SP/HPO, VM/XA, and VM/ESA--known collectively in this book as VM systems. </div></li></ul><p align="justify">If EREP 3.5 is not installed on your system, some of the information in this book may not apply.
