You don¡¯t need clip on VM. The provided Format/Allocate program allows you to change the label.

How does one process an XMI file on VM/CMS (as opposed to MVS)?

Perhaps easiest is by first un-XMITing it on Windows or UNIX using one of the programs at ? or .

On "modern" (i.e. VM/SP and above from 1981 or so) CMS there is native support for the XMIT format. I would guess that something like that has been put into VM/CE, but I haven't used that VM so am not sure. (I *think* you're using VM/CE here...)

But in any case... As far as I can see the CLIP in CBT file 846 runs on z/OS (or maybe older MVS) only.

Another choice is to use the standalone (IPLable) editor at .
ZZSA has many other uses. It's "free as in free beer", i.e. not open source, and is also a bit fiddly to install. I'm not sure if there is a 370Arch version.

There is also IBM's ICKDSF, which is much more modern than VM/370, and IIRC was a no-fee program product that runs on pretty much all IBM OSs. It's around somewhere, but I'm not sure where. Someone will tell you.

And finally the "right" way is that VM/370 has a native program DMKFMT to change a volser and do other related stuff. Note that it's not a CMS command. It's described in the VM/370 Service Programs chapter of the VM/370 Operators Guide.The VM/370 version of DMKFMT is a standalone IPLable card deck/image that you IPL in (typically) a virtual machine or (less often in the real world, but commonly enough on Hercules) a "real" machine.

You want to use the FORMAT command with the LABEL option. Unfortunately the FORMAT command can also format a disk, so read up on the syntax carefully, and make 200% sure you are labelling the right disk!

Folks,

I can see we have thee types of users in this group.
One type have received a re-verification message from groups.io and replied, to these I say Thank You.

One type, the ones I am targeting here, have received the message and not replied.
If they continue to ignore this message they will be removed from all their groups by groups.io and their fully qualified domains blacklisted.
They are all personal domains, or personal sub-domains of a larger domain, so the chances are no one else will notice.
This action has been forced by an e-mail from groups.io being received in a honeypot mailbox.

Oh and to the vast majority, who use say gmail.com, outlook.com or yahoo.com and who have not received the notice, just go back to sleep. Sorry I woke you.

Missing MVS Macro Calls

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Folks,

I know that JCC doesn¡¯t work with VM/370 because it uses OS Macros/SVCs that are not in the CMS OS emulation.

Many moons ago I fixed this in GCCMS but I can¡¯t do the same for JCC as there is no library source.

Has anyone ever added the extra SVCs to the OS emulation to fill in some of the gaps?

In a well-run organization, if the primary on-call is not available for whatever reason the page automatically escalates to over to the back up (secondary) on-call.

Which reminds me of the time I was secondary on-call and my rookie primary went to a loud concert. I ¡­ spoke?¡­ to them the following morning; they remembered the lesson!

In fact, the three different ways I got notified didn't ALL fire at once; in an sort of internal escalation, they were few seconds apart, giving me a chance to reply to the SMS??at 3:07 AM before my spouse got further harassed by a phone ringing. The SMS was bad enough; I settled on the Station 51 Klaxon (from the TV show Emergency) for the SMS tone and the bridge from Led Zeppelin's?Rock'n'Roll as the robocall ringtone.

(As I said, I don't like missing pages.)

The spouse did?ban anything that sounded anything like a smoke alarm or siren, which eliminated the Star Trek Red Alert signal.

-ahd-

p.s. And yes, 9 years later, I'm still in rehab for all this.

Re: SRE

 


I use "SRE Emeritus" because "Defrocked SRE" sounds so dirty ¡­?

There are lists out there along the lines of "If priests are defrocked and lawyers are disbarred, then..." electricians are delighted, cowboys are deranged, models are deposed, and so on. So I imagine programmers are decoded (or deprogrammed) but I'm not sure about SREs. Engineers are derailed (or detrained), but that's a different kind of engineer. Maybe desited?

Of course, most SREs are in a pager duty rotation.

I wrote a "How to Set up your Pager" webpage for the Google Docs SRE team, including how have each page be sent via text, email, and robocall. (I did not to like drop pages!) The SRE-wide pager infrastructure team published my page as canonical.?("Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." ¡ª?Oscar Wilde)?

(Pro Tip: Use a smartphone, not an actual Pager. Cell phone networks are way more robust, even back in 2007!)?

Maybe SREs are just paged out. :-)
