Content Navigator / 508 Compliant documents from ICN

« on: August 28, 2020, 10:41:40 AM »

Hi all:  I was asked to check if there is anyone using any conversion tools with ICN to present/convert stored AFP documents into accessible PDFs (508 Compliant). We are currently running CMOD 10.1.0.5  and ICN 2.0.3(upgrading soon to 3.2).  Is there ICN add on or other vendor component for this?

Thanks for any help.

z/OS Server / Loads Failing through ARSLOADP but manual loads through job submission working

« on: June 03, 2020, 01:07:47 PM »

Hi folks, we are periodically having load failures when an output file contains LARGE  AFP documents(hundreds of pages) and said file is processed automatically through ARSLOADP.

2020-05-15 00:07:17.914289: ARS1412E The document size of >2285875577< bytes exceeds the maximum size allowed of >2147483647< bytes.
 2020-05-15 00:07:17.914849: ARS1146I Loaded 2561 rows into the database
 2020-05-15 00:07:17.915274: ARS4311E Loading failed
 2020-05-15 00:08:23.509692: ARS4320I Unloading started
 2020-05-15 00:08:25.176608: ARS4321I Unloading of data was successful

I understand that the message states we are exceeding a 'maximum size', but yet we can load the file MANUALLY by creating a batch load through SAR (CA product) and resubmitting the output to the SAME sysout class ARSLOADP is using.

Thoughts on why the Initial load through ARSLOADP fails?  Are there PARMS that need to be looked at?
What are the maximum sizes of a load allowed?

ZOS - 4.26
CMOD  - 10.1.0.5
Large Object support is used

Thanks for any help offered.  HT

Just a quick check whether there are any considerations that need to be looked into when we upgrade to WAS 8.5.5.16 on our servers.

CMOD 10.1.0.5

Thanks for any advice, info, help, or cheerleading!

z/OS Server / Loads Failing after upgrade to 10.1 - Possible change needed in parms?

« on: December 09, 2019, 11:52:22 AM »

Hi Folks; One day in to the 10.1.0.5 upgrade we are getting failures for Line data Type reports with the below error:

Do you see any issues with the indexing code here?

General / SFTP conversion

« on: November 07, 2019, 01:04:28 PM »

Hi all; Our Company is currently converting our file transfer protocol from FTP to SFTP.  We are finding that pure text index files(used in the generic indexing process) are being re-formatted into one long line of text, rather than a simple text/index file with line feeds to separate each index field or value. 

We tested using a command to( ls /+mode=text) send over the files and they did send correctly, However we have been told by the FTP group that they cannot alter their tool/software and that we will need to come up with a solution. They are using something called ‘IBM Sterling Integrator [Java Based application]’ and they are stating that they cannot make changes toit.

So My question is has anyone else experienced this ? what measures did you take? Is creating some sort of pre-processor my only option?   

Thanks for any insight you can offer.   Harold Thomas

z/OS Server / System Log query

« on: May 16, 2019, 05:46:27 AM »

Good day Folks;  We are curious to find a way to take the Message column of the system log and make it more broken down by the data it contains. Has anyone updated that application group and application to do so? We are wanting to use the log data to feed a performance monitor we are looking into. Thanks for any help you can offer.

z/OS Server / ODF justification

« on: February 22, 2019, 09:38:00 AM »

Hey folks; I'm trying to put together a few justification bullets for management on ODF.

Other than report splitting/ distribution, reporting, emailing distributions, re-printing, and monitoring, what are some other cool uses folks are doing  that maybe we can apply to our setup? Does auto distribution likely take a load off of the system by lessening retrievals?

CMOD 9.5.12, using ICN ,  a MULTITUDE of differing documents, reports and formats stored.

Thanks! HT

z/OS Server / Primary Storage node definition

« on: January 23, 2019, 10:25:24 AM »

quick question on OAM and storage node definition. If we have an application defined in our CRT table setup to send docs to a specific storage node and that node is now overwhelmed by access requests from that and other applications also defined there, is setting up a new storage node definition the thing to do? I.E. 85 applications are sending data to a particular ZORP /storage node but we want to break out 15 of them to another ZORP/storage node.

Will creating a new CRT entry pointing to a different storage node affect retrievals?

Other / Integrating retrieved Documents into a reprint process

« on: March 10, 2016, 07:30:17 AM »

Greetings;
We have been requested to integrate a stored AFP document(a Check) into a reprint process.  The original check and all of its associated document pages is to be paired with a new reprint request through a mainframe executed job .  Has anyone put together a similar process?  Is this something that possibly ODF can be utilized to do?

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Report Indexing / Lets Hide some Line data!

« on: June 10, 2015, 01:17:15 PM »

I have been asked to OMIT/Hide the index data that is sent over in a line data report.  The first thirty characters of each line contains index data, and our customer wants us to exclude it from the stored report.  My problem: I can't create AFP output as the customer desires the report to remain as line data as they want to be able to download the report into a text file, so using a pagedef/format to exclude the index fields isn't really an option as the report would then be converted to PDF.  A sample of how the file comes over:

 1201407019545829201CP         1CP1CP10IPPOLITO\RONALD\R\               2014010103
  201407019545829201CP          1CP1CP40IPPOLITO\CHRISTINE B \          2014010103
  201407019545829201CP          1CP1CP10HARLAN\CHARLES\D\                2014010131
  201407019545829201CP          1CP1CP40HARLAN\CATHRYN O\                2014010131
  201407019545829201CP          1CP1CP20VAZQUEZ-LUGO\DIANA\L\        20140501AS
  201407019545829201CP          1CP1CP20VAZQUEZ-LUGO\DIANA\L\        20140501DH

Anyone done some fancy hiding of index fields?

Thanks
