z/OS Server / Re: ARSMAINT and the -s parameter

« on: August 31, 2016, 12:38:19 PM »

You would see that report in the OnDemand System Log.  To me report is a generous term for it as what we get is simply this:
ARSMAINT;Info;   124;Filesystem Stats Name(/etc/ond/32P/cache/OND32P) Data(20%) Inodes(0%)  Srvr->AAAOFTP1<-

(We barely use cache in our environment)

There isn't a way to send this to the ARSMAINT job output as the command itself doesn't produce any output.

z/OS Server / Re: ARSXML - Override expiration date in application

« on: August 11, 2016, 10:09:35 AM »

Ahh, I see that.  I was looking at the 9.5 manual.  Is your OnDemand kept up to date?  I do see a very old 8.5 APAR pointing to a similar issue:

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think expirationDate is valid under the application object.  That's defined in the applicationGroup object.

Report Indexing / Re: Issue in loading huge size PDF (1gb)

« on: August 11, 2016, 05:14:50 AM »

You're probably getting an error message from z/OS from this.  Check the SDSF log during the same time this error occurred.  If you're storing to OAM my guess is you're hitting the maximum object size limit.  If not the error message should point you to the issue.

z/OS Server / Re: Application Group and Database(DB2) Relation

« on: July 14, 2016, 06:07:28 AM »

I can honestly say that in the 10 years of running CMOD for z/OS we've never had the database change when creating a new table.  That behavior is very peculiar as that would cause any number of issues.  Out of curiosity did you query SYSIBM.SYSTABLES and see who created the table?

Much thanks!
  Every bit of information helps.  I'll pass that information on to the users.

Ok, I'm still confused.  Now I think I get it.
You won't be able to use the PDF indexer to load the line data. The format is all wrong.  Your only choices are what you're doing now or use the generic indexer on USS.

You'll need to add indexing to the application for PDF's.  If you have an acrobat license you can use the graphical indexer otherwise you'll need to use arspdump to map the text in the pdf (short syntax arspdump -f <input pdf>  -o <outputfile> -p <# of pages to index>>.  What you'll end up with is coordinates that contain the text in the doc.
In the view tab set datatype PDF if you have an Acrobat license otherwise use datatype of user defined with file extension of pdf.
For Indexer information use indexer type of PDF, it is basically the same as with other indexing except you use coordinates from arspdump instead of rows/columns:
Sample that will index the CMOD readme:
COORDINATES=IN
TRIGGER1=UL(3.30,1.10),LR(3.78,1.28),*,'README'
FIELD1=UL(1.85,1.59),LR(2.25,01.77),0,(TRIGGER=1,BASE=0)
FIELD2=UL(2.99,1.26),LR(4.01,1.44),0,(TRIGGER=1,BASE=0)
INDEX1='Doc_No',FIELD1,(TYPE=GROUP)
INDEX2='Doc_Date',FIELD2,(TYPE=GROUP)
INDEXSTARTBY=2

The PDF indexing section of the Indexing reference manual will give you a more detailed description of available options.

Ahh, Ok.  As long as you're pre V9.5 (PDF indexer on USS was deprecated in V9.5) and you've purchased the PDF Indexer (not included in base) it's definitely do-able.

You would need to run ARSLOAD regardless of the indexer used so I'm not sure if it saves you anything. I'm a little fuzzy on what you're attempting.  You create reports on the Unix system, is that USS on the mainframe or an independent unix system?  Do they create PDF's or line data reports there?

z/OS Server / Re: Using the new trace formatting tool in 8.5.0

« on: May 17, 2016, 05:08:04 AM »

Marthin,
From the 8.5 readme:
IBM XML Toolkit for z/OS required for tracing, trace formatting, and running the XML portion of the IVPs

The XML Parser found in the IBM XML Toolkit for z/OS is now required for product installation and the creation of trace output and the formatting of the trace output. Minimum requirement is: IBM XML Toolkit for z/OS V1.10 with 64-bit support (PTFs UA51089, UA51090, and UA51091). See http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/tools/xml/ .

The XML Toolkit must be in the LIBPATH for:

o ODWEK
o arsxml
o arsslu
o arstfmt

Failure to have the LIBPATH setup properly may be indicated by message:

"CEE3501S The module IXM4C7A was not found." (may also show IXM4C7Q)
Sample LIBPATH setting:
LIBPATH=/usr/lpp/xml/xml4c-5_7/lib:$LIBPATH
export LIBPATH

Sample ARSPTGN is found in SARSINST in both our V8.5 and V9.5 libraries.

Report Indexing / Re: Needing to removing a leading zero from a PDF index

« on: May 03, 2016, 05:24:49 AM »

Is there some trailing character after the 5 character store code you could use in the mask?  For example if you had 01234:  You could use MASK='####:' then use character removal to remove the colon.

z/OS Server / Re: SSL on z/OS

Just as a follow up to this.  We finally got this working so I tried consolidating the information into a single document (attached).
Thanks for everyone's assistance on this.

I have a fair amount of experience with ODF on z/OS.  Maybe I can help with your question?
