Other / Re: Configure google cloud storage bucket similar to S3

« on: April 19, 2021, 11:00:34 AM »

I'm not cloud storage conversant but is this what you're looking for?

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cmofm/10.5.0?topic=storage-other-external-managers

Content Manager OnDemand supports external cloud storage managers such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)...

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I'm guessing not without IP Printway or some other print routing software.

Before upgrading to z/OS 2.4 run the OAM IVP.

It's very easy to set up, doesn't require much time at all.

http://www.odusergroup.org/forums/index.php?topic=887

This way you can determine early after the IPL of 2.4 whether OAM is correctly set up.  Also, it will assist in determining whether an issue is a CMOD problem or an OAM problem, hastening resolution of any issues.

z/OS Server / Re: How can ARSYSPIN exploit ARS.PTGN exit ?

« on: April 13, 2021, 03:20:31 PM »

Reminder that ARSYSPIN calls ARSLOAD under the covers.

I knew there was a doc out there somewhere on this which includes a checklist:

ARS.PTGN not active for ARSLOAD - Question and Answer

Okay,

ARSYSPIN:  ARSUSER

ARSSOCD:  ARSUSER

> The configuration was done and it is working with no problem when I submit a JOB directly calling ARSLOAD application.

What userid is associated with that JOB?

When you submit the job what userid is it running under?

IRR010I  USERID ODLOADER IS ASSIGNED TO THIS JOB.

What userid is ARSYSPIN running under?

IEF695I START ARSYP1QA WITH JOBNAME ARSYP1BL IS ASSIGNED TO USER ARSSV100, GROUP ODCMARS

z/OS Server / Re: List of Performance Related Fixes plus a Brief Checklist, Upgrading CMOD on z

« on: April 12, 2021, 12:55:23 PM »

The ARSRPT function is very useful for taking a look at what is going on within ARSSOCKD.

White Paper here:

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/arsrpt-%E2%80%93-content-manager-ondemand-enhanced-reporting-utility

Note:  you have to be logging certain messages (mentioned in the White Paper) for ARSRPT to be able report on.


Pro tip:  If ARSRPT says that ODWEK is doing a lot of logon/logoffs, perhaps the ODWEK application is not using connection pooling.

Connection pooling is very much recommended for efficient processing.

z/OS Server / Re: How can ARSYSPIN exploit ARS.PTGN exit ?

« on: April 12, 2021, 08:34:03 AM »

This is just a guess:

Following is how is defined the ODUSER= and ODUSERPW= in the //ARSPARM:
ARSY0103I <*NOSPINDELAY=     
ARSY0103I < ODHOST=ARCHIVE   
ARSY0103I < ODINSTANCE=ARCHIVE
ARSY0103I < ODUSER=           
ARSY0103I < ODUSERPW=         
ARSY0103I <*OUTCC=       

If in ARSIVPR1 you completely omit the -u and -p, perhaps in ARSPARM you should completely omit the ODUSER and ODUSERPW parms?

z/OS Server / Re: upgrading CMOD z/OS 9.5 to 10.?

« on: March 26, 2021, 02:05:10 PM »

The upgrade steps are in the readme files:

V10.5 README

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-content-manager-ondemand-zos-v105-readme

V10.1 README

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27049534

Yes, the upgrade is in USS.

Yes, you can upgrade directly to 10.5.  The 10.5 readme has instructions.

If you upgrade to 10.1 be sure to check out my 10.1 release notes thread here in the z/OS Server section.

If you upgrade directly to 10.5 check out both my 10.1 and 10.5 release notes thread.

What trips up upgrades the most?  Exits not working on a newer release.

Windows Client / Windows Update KB5000808 can cause errors when printing from the Windows client

« on: March 25, 2021, 12:12:56 PM »

Symptoms seen with the Windows thick client with the 'Microsoft Print to PDF' option include sometimes creating zero length PDFs, sometimes just the graphics and no text, and occasionally leading to the client crashing.

A fix is available, KB5001648.
