z/OS Server / Re: Contents of data in the CMOD.MIGR.BANNER.INPUT file

« on: November 14, 2017, 09:15:25 AM »

Our custom banner exit used to use SQL but doesn't anymore.  I suspect you would need to use the Exit to query the tables to find what details you are looking for from the DST/DRT/PPT tables.  Have you tried that already?

Windows Client / Re: Multiple Versions

« on: November 09, 2017, 01:57:08 PM »

Not for version 8.x.  I believe it started at version 9.5 where you can have multiple versions of the client as they use the new folder names.  Below version 9.5 you should not run multiple instances of the client from what I remember.

z/OS Server / Re: Load TIFF

« on: November 08, 2017, 07:16:57 AM »

I will give some comments,

- Loading will need to be done using the generic indexer. 
- Compression we use Data OD77 Resource None.  Not sure if there is a better option.
- The thick client is fine, we use USER Defined Ext TIFF.   It will launch whatever app your desktop file extension is associated with TIFF

The biggest work will be in creating the indexing file.

Windows Client / Re: Viewing an AFP in FAT client

« on: October 30, 2017, 06:14:04 AM »

We call it the 'Thick Client'  more politically correct 

OnDemand thick client does not use inline fonts when viewing AFP documents, usually, you get a popup about mappings not found.  You need to set up the font mapping in customized csdef.fnt/cpdef.fnt and alias.fnt files for your shop. 
C:\Program Files (x86)\ibm\OnDemand Clients\V9.5\Font

It is not an easy task and if you have never done it, you might require IBM services.  If it is not going to be the main way users view the document, I recommend you use a different AFP viewer to view the document.  (Save the document out of the thick client as a AFP file, then open with a different viewer)

z/OS Server / Re: ARSLOAD Problem with Documents greater than 100 MB

« on: October 25, 2017, 06:59:07 AM »

The error message is what you should be focusing on.

 ARS1106E Connection cannot be established for the >ARCHIVE< server 

Are you loading from a different server?  Have you loaded other documents from this server to your CMOD successfully?

Report Indexing / Re: Indexing AFP with ACIF

« on: October 20, 2017, 06:43:14 AM »

On Z/OS we run APKACIF before the CMOD archive step.  Not sure if that is what you are looking for.

MP Server / Re: File name from 127 Records

Not sure why you are getting the Syntax error but your like statement will need a percent sign at the beginning and end to work.

msg_text like '%5323-1-0-7FAA-15612-15612%'

As with most syntax issues, I suggest you break it down to isolate where it is incorrect.

I can't tell if it is fixed or not, but I think I am seeing more emails now.   

Thanks

z/OS Server / Re: ARSYSPIN running on different LPAR failing to use unified logon

« on: October 11, 2017, 08:42:21 AM »

I found an empty arsload.cfg file...but I have one on the LPAR that is working.  For kicks, I renamed the file and tried again.  No luck

ARS1607E The OnDemand stash file >< either does not exist or is not valid.  Return Code=4.

Is there some reason don't get notified if someone has replied to my posts, or follow ups to my replies to post.   I am forced to login and check and see if anyone replied....when I remember to!

Report Indexing / Re: Extracting Indexes loading

« on: October 05, 2017, 08:21:07 AM »

I have had the unfortunate pleasure of spinning reports in and out of OnDemand many times.   Getting the loadid from the arsdoc query use the -I, then using a script loop through the results and only take the unique load ids. 

This has worked for us successfully.   I wrap everything in a REXX script as that is my preferred method.

Report Indexing / Re: Extracting Indexes loading

« on: October 04, 2017, 01:36:01 PM »

I guess you are referring to arsdoc query, that is the tool to pull out the details of documents/indexes.

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSQHWE_9.5.0/com.ibm.ondemand.administeringzos.doc/doddo006.htm

Again you will need to wrap your automation around running the script post loading.

z/OS Server / ARSYSPIN running on different LPAR failing to use unified logon

« on: October 04, 2017, 01:31:22 PM »

Opened a PMR but tossing it out here to see if anyone has thoughts.

We are trying to run ARSYSPIN on a different LPAR than ARSSOCKD. When the load starts it fails on

"ARS1607E The OnDemand stash file >< either does not exist or is not valid. Return Code=4."

We validated the SET PROG EXIT was pointing to the same library. I don't see any other settings that would stop it from working successfully. Can ARSYSPIN run on a different LPAR? If yes what settings to do I need to validate are set up beside the SET PROG? Note: the LPAR we are trying to run on is normally used for our test instance of CMOD. We did bring down the test server so there was no conflict.

Cheers

Report Indexing / Re: Extracting Indexes loading

« on: October 03, 2017, 07:40:53 AM »

Not sure I fully understand the requirement, index values are stored in the DB/2 tables.  If you need to extract them, I would use SQL to pull them off the database.  Wrap whatever automation you want around it.

MP Server / Re: Using ARSDOC Get to Retrieve PDF files to a Single file

« on: September 14, 2017, 10:21:21 AM »

What error are you getting?  Looking at your command I would change it to

./arsdoc get –v –f RSC_SCI_OLPNCTNDTL –h cmod –u CMOD –p /opt/IBM/ondemand/V9.0/config/ars.stash –q STORE103 -o STORE103 -c
