z/OS Server / Max File Size question resurfaced

« on: December 15, 2015, 07:24:03 AM »

An application is wanting to archive a 9.5GB file in one shot.   
It is a line data report, using the Z/OS indexer with 1 key.
Compression is OD77
Large Object is on
Number of pages 100

arsload: Server Version <8.5.0.10> Operating System <z/OS> <04.24.00> Database <DB2> <10.01.0005>                                   
arsload: 12/14/15 18:27:11 -- Loading started, --UNKNOWN-- bytes to process                                                         
OnDemand Load Id = >9115-5977-0-49714IAA-1450117631-1450117631<                                                                     
Information about the load that is stored in order to support certain features has exceeded the recommended size.  The current size
is >463903494< bytes and the recommended maximum size is 100MB.  It is recommended that the load be split into a series of smaller loads.                                                                                                                             
The data that was loaded was not a part of a distribution in ODF.                                                                   
Loaded 2767997 rows into the database                                                                                               
Document compression type used - OD77Lite.  Bytes Stored = >1373922242< Rows = >2767997<                                           
arsload: 12/14/15 18:34:41 Loading completed                                                                                       

Any one have suggestions and advice on what is the max file size should be used. 

Thanks

Report Indexing / Re: PDF Indexer

Yes you do need to install CMOD server but not configure a local server.  It was a bit of a trick to configure the remote Z/OS server on my 8.5 version but it is now available.   Now if I can just get IBM to find out why my PassPort doesn't have access to the PDF install module.

z/OS Server / Re: Change In JCL Parms For ARSADMIN In 9.5.0

« on: April 14, 2015, 07:02:33 AM »

This is how I set up our unloads.  This might work for you as you should be under 100 chars.  We use unified log on so we don't need the user and pswd parms but I added them in from your example.

//L1      SET  AG='Daily sales invoices'                                 
//L2      SET  H=ARCH950                                       
//L3      SET  LOADID=5052-1-0-5FAA-0-0-5053
//*                                                           
//STEP1        EXEC PGM=ARSADMIN,                             
//             PARM='unload -h &H -Q -g "&AG" -L &LOADID -u odadmin  -p blahblah'

Report Indexing / Re: Multiple reports inside a single file...

« on: April 09, 2015, 08:21:55 AM »

We had a similar issue on Z/OS where batches of reports were being sent via one sysout.   

We used two solutions,
1)  We created a proc to split out the output in to different sysouts.  This was updated in the source JCL's to split out the reports using keys from a sysin (not simple but it worked)
2)  We setup a double pass of OnDemand.  First pass we would archive the whole sysout and index on the report ids, then using ODF distribute back to OnDemand individual reports to be archived using specific keys.   Moving the large sysout to tape right away reduced any extra dasd usage.

Report Indexing / Re: PDF Indexer

I am also in the same boat, moving Z/OS PDF indexing offline to a Windows server.  Did you have to download a different module to get the PDF indexer running on the windows server?  I don't see one in Passport Advantage.

Thanks.  Hopefully it does not come with a performance hit.

Bump.

Anyone had any updates from IBM or solutions for PCI with CMOD (Z/OS)

I know this is an old post but I am looking for reporting usage of reports and dumping the system log is the only option I found.  Is there anything anyone else has done to steam line this task?  Getting all msg 66 from system log, parse out AG and APP ID join to app table and get counts is very slow process to do historically.

Thanks.
