HOLDs for DB2BIND, ACTION etc should return CC=4, BUT, you may have things to do before/after the APPLY. On 2019-06-30 09:35, Bill Giannelli wrote: > There are many "error" or "warning" messages such as: > THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS FOR SYSMOD UI63859 WERE NOT SATISFIED, BUT WERE > IGNORE > SYSTEM

We have the following at the end of our APPLY BYPASS(HOLDSYS,HOLDUSER, HOLDCLASS(UCLREL,ERREL,HIPER)). And we have NEVER concerned ourselves with a cc 4 Just capture the holddata and do what it says (possibly before (like a new DDDEF) but usually after the APPLY) Thank You, Chris

Check your HOLDSYS(ACTION) info in SYSMOD (PTF) UI63859 and deal with whatever action it requires - if anything (usually trivial).   Then code BYPASS(HOLDSYS(ACTION)) on the actual APPLY step (without the "CHECK").   //SMPCNTL   DD *   SET BDY(TZONE)   .   APPLY   CHECK     GROUP   

Using bpxbatch to compress an MVS dataset

I have a batch process in zOS 2.1 (soon to be 2.3) that creates a large text file I want to FTP to a zLinux system. How can I use bpxbatch tar or compress (or ?) to create a smaller file I can ftp instead instead of the original file? I don’t want to use pkzip unless that’s the only choice. Terse

If both systems are on the same physical computer, it might not be worth it. The time and cpu cycles it would take to compress and uncompress might take longer than transferring the un compressed file. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Donald Russell

If this file is being sent inside your firewall, the time and CPU cycles will cost more than the ftp. This is based on experiences using MFT products. (Basically what Gadi said). We found in testing that compressing was really only useful with small pipes. Of course, there is a ratio between n

Re: Using bpxbatch to compress an MVS dataset

2019-06-30 Thread Donald Russell
I’m not considering the cost of compression in relation to the transfer savings because the size of the files is huge (several million lines of text) that compress really well. Pkzip/gzip seems to get well over 80% compression. Then yes, after the mvs job step runs, the ftp target is in another ci

Another consideration is how many times the compressed file would be transferred. We used to host lots of documents on our mainframe to be served out on a website. When the transfer load became noticeable on the performance reports, we started compressing the most common documents. The transfer

I sincerely appreciate people’s feedback on this subject but the problem I’m trying to solve is how to compress the file, not whether compression is needed. The decision to compress was made based on frequency of use, bandwidth between source and destination and difference in file size/transmission

If this is a batch process to FTP to another platform, and it can handle tar or jar etc... Then you can certainly do that. If the other platform can use TRSMAIN output, that is part of z/OS So for your issue, you just need a first step to send the file to USS and pax or tar it. Then ftp to t
