z/OS Server / Re: CMOD 10.5 Release Notes
« on: January 23, 2021, 04:11:45 PM »FYI, I think you need to use ShopZ to order
Correct!
And what you want to order are the FMIDs for CMOD and ODF, H272A50 and J272A52.

z/OS Server / Needs Clean SMP/E Zones
« on: January 13, 2021, 07:37:54 AM »
When I tried to install 10.5 in a zone that had a previous CMOD release I could never get it to work.
It never cleaned up properly the old release.
So I installed 10.5 in a fresh SMP/E.

MP Server / Re: Escape character in arsdoc query command?
« on: December 23, 2020, 08:04:01 PM »
Add the -1/-2 trace parameters to the arsdoc command and see if that sheds any light?
Do an ODBC trace to see exactly what the SQL is?

PH25530: ABEND04E RC00E70005 DSNXEDS1 M199 OCCURS ON PREPARE OF DYNAMIC SQL STATEMENT IN A VERY ACTIVE SYSTEM
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PH25530
Error description
ABEND04E RC00E70005 DSNXEDS1 M199 occurs on PREPARE of dynamic SQL statement in a very active system.
Problem criteria:
Multiple threads race to PREPARE the same dynamic SQL statement concurrently. The winner of the race is inserted into the cache, but then is immediately removed, by EDM's LRU algorithm.
The loser of the race (first loser if there are multiple), will then get this abend.

Report Indexing / Re: Download issue for PDF files as Damage file uploaded to CMOD
« on: December 09, 2020, 09:52:35 AM »
Let me just take a wild guess.
Are you loading using the generic indexer? That would mean that no PDF processing is getting invoked during loading.
You mention the error message about "%PDF". I just browsed one of my PDFs and sure enough the first line starts with "%PDF-1.5".
So could a clever programmer (that's not me) come up with something that scans the input file, ?perhaps with the generic indexer input?, to verify that the expected start of each PDF starts with the proper characters?
? Perhaps the problem is a generic indexer not having the right offsets ?

Oops, I may have misunderstood the original question.
The WINDOWS admin client will connect to any supported OnDemand server platform.
I take it you're asking about a LINUX admin client which does not exist.

My question is, what if for these customers needing to access the large statements if I installed OnDemand Client on their desktops, would that resolve my problem?
Doing a test by installing the CMOD Windows Thick Client is certainly easy enough to do, so go ahead and give it a whirl.

The 10.5 Administrative Client is fully tested and supported when used against a 10.1 server.
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/compatibility-matrix-content-manager-ondemand-clients-and-servers
I recommend when upgrading to upgrade the clients first, then separately upgrade the server.

Two thoughts -
Saw a 137 error before and it was DSNAOINI not properly set.
The other thought is maybe a memory issue?

Just for completeness - I don't think this affects anybody other than z.
There's a fairly new PTF for a shutdown issue on z.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All Content Manager OnDemand for z/OS 10.1 *

Tips and Tricks / z/OS - Using system symbols as indexing parameters
« on: November 06, 2020, 08:36:31 AM »
Environment:
JES2 MAS
Output can be ingested into CMOD from spool from any system in the MAS
Requirement:
Make the system that created the output part of the indexing parameters.
The hard way:
This information is available in fields reachable via exits
The easier way:
Exploit using symbols in JES in-stream data
Have the load job be the last step in the job that creates the output.
The ARSLOAD step parms:
//CMODSTEP EXEC PGM=ARSLOAD,REGION=0M,
// PARM='/-V //DD:PARM'
.
.
The JCL contains this DD:
//PARM DD DISP=SHR,DSN=IBM.ARS.PARMFILE
- In IBM.ARS.PARMFILE are these parms:
-h
ARCHIVE
-a
BANK
-g
BANK
-u
blahblah
-p
********
-v
-s
OBJINPT
-j <===== These are the key parameters
'//DD:J' <=====
/dev/null
The DD definition for J:
//J DD *,SYMBOLS=EXECSYS
FIELD7='&SYSNAME'
INDEX2=X'E2E8E2D5C1D4C5',FIELD7,(TYPE=GROUP,BREAK=YES)
/*
Note the index on SYSNAME, which has been added as an index field in the AG definition.
Then when you run the load job you will see these messages indicating that the field added via the -j parm has been recognized by the indexer:
ARS5481I FIELD7='MVS222'
ARS5481I INDEX2=X'E2E8E2D5C1D4C5',FIELD7,(TYPE=GROUP,BREAK=YES)
After loading the data, when you view the application group data table, you will see the new index called SYSNAME appended as the last column:
SYSNAME
--------
MVS222
Per the MVS JCL Reference you could use any system symbol.
