CHAPTER 3
IBM S/390 2003/135 MVS OPERATION
MVS COMMANDS
CANCEL COMMAND
The CANCEL command is used to immediately terminate a job in execution, a TSO user, a MOUNT command or output processing for a job. Examples are:
C U=userid cancels a TSO user
C jobname cancels a jobname
C jobname,DUMP cancels a jobname with a dump
DISPLAY COMMAND
The DISPLAY command is used to obtain information about system IO, job and console status, and time of day. You can display jobs in execution, device status and allocation, status of hardware configuration, time and date, number of active jobs, tso users, initiators, VTAM network activity and functions, dump options and system requests. Examples are:
D A displays jobs running and TSO users
D R,L displays jobnames and outstanding requests
D M displays current matrix configuration
D M=CPU displays channel map for CPU
display of map shows operators
(.) not on system
(-) offline to system
(+) online to system
D A,L displays active jobs and TSO users on system
D J,L displays only jobs currently running
D R displays any outstanding operator requests
D TS,L displays current TSO users logged on
D U,TAPE,ONLINE displays status of device address xxx
D PFK displays a list of your program function keys and how they are defined
D U,UR displays unit record devices
D U,TAPE displays all tape unit addresses defined to the system
D U,DASD displays all disk addresses defined to the system
D U,TAPE,ALLOC,uuu,1 displays if a tape unit is attached to a specific job
FORCE COMMAND
The FORCE command is used when the CANCEL command fails. This command allows the operator to force termination of a mount command, force termination of a job in execution, force termination of external writer allocation, force termination of output processing for a job or force termination of a terminal session. Examples are:
FORCE jobname forces jobname from the system
FORCE xxx device allocation for writer xxx is discontinued and the writer is terminated
FORCE U=userid forces userid off the system
MODIFY COMMAND
The MODIFY command is used to change the existing parameters of an existing job, TSO/VTAM, or an external writer. MODIFY is also used to change the characteristics of a job. The specified parameters are modified only if the programmer has set the proper indicators. Examples:
F xxxxxx,yy changes the parameters in jobname xxxxxx by specifying yy as indicated by the programmer
F TSO,USERMAX=nn change the number of TSO users
F ROSCOE,SHUTDOWN NOW terminates ROSCOE immediately
F ROSCOE,STATUS displays number of ROSCOE users
START COMMAND
The START command is used to start specific jobs from the console, start an I/O device (reader, writer), or to start online programs such as CICS, TSO, VTAM etc. The START command starts a cataloged procedure located in the "proc library" where the JCL for the procedure is stored. Examples are:
S SMFDUMPB starts job SMFDUMP
S SASWTR.LC starts writer – SASWTR
S RDR,00D starts the internal punch
S TSO starts TSO (Time Sharing Option)
S CICSP starts CICS (Customer Information Control System)
SWAP COMMAND
The SWAP command is used to move a volume to another device. For example, if a tape unit goes down or is receiving I/O errors, the operator has the choice of either canceling the job or swapping to another device to continue processing. Example:
SWAP aaa,bbb swap volume at device address aaa to volume at device address bbb
SWITCH COMMAND
The SWITCH command is used to manually switch the recording of SMF data from one data set to another. (SYS1.MAN1, SYS1.MAN2, SYS1.MAN3)
I SMF switch or transfer SMF data from one SMF data set to another
VARY COMMAND
The VARY command is used to control assignments and configurations of I/O devices, channels, or CPU’s. By using the VARY command, the operator has the ability to vary I/O devices on or offline, vary channels on or offline, vary processors on or offline, change MCS assignments or place a path on or offline. Examples are:
V PATH(xxx,chpid),ONLINE vary path to device xxx oline
(xxx = device, chpid = chip identifier)
V PATH(xxx,chpid),OFFLINE vary path to device xxx offline
(xxx = device, chpid = chip identifier)
V CH(x,0),OFFLINE vary channel x offline to system
V CH(x,0),ONLINE vary channel x online to system
V xxx,ONLINE vary device online to system
V xxx,OFFLINE vary device offline to system
V NET,ACT,ID=1vxxx activate lvxxx online to VTAM
(lv = local video, xxx= term id)
V NET,ACT,ID=xxx activate line xxx to VTAM
V NET,INACT,ID=xxx inactivates line xxx to VTAM
DEALLOC PROCEDURE
When varying a device offline it is necessary to execute the DEALLOC procedure immediately after. Example:
V xxx,OFFLINE
S DEALLOC
MVS GENERAL INFORMATION
MVS CONSOLES
On MVS we are running with a master console (device A00) and an alternate console (device 1E0). If for some reason the master console malfunctions, MVS should automatically begin using the alternate console as the main console. At anytime you can display the current console assignments by typing the command:
DISPLAY CONSOLES
MASTER CONSOLE FAILURE PROCEDURES
Whenever the master console is lost, it automatically switches to the alternate console (1E0). Display the current console assignments. On 1E0, type:
D CONSOLES
When the problem with the original master console has been remedied, vary A00 to become a console again. On 1E0, type:
V A00,CONSOLE
Make the original console (A00) the master console again. On E0, type:
V A00,MSTCONS
Display the current console assignments again. Type:
D CONSOLES
When the master console switches from 1E0 back to A00 the following message is displayed.
IEE129I CONSOLE SWITCH, OLD=1E0 NEW=A00 REASON=VMST

MVS INITIATORS
INITIATOR CLASSES SERVICED
This is the general setup of the initiators and job class assignments after an IPL is performed. These initiators can be started, drained and the classes they service can be changed by using JES commands. This is the initial setup designed to give the best response time to our online users and the BISON library system. Initiators 1 through 4 are drained between the hours of 8am and 5pm, and then an automatic command will start these 4 initiators daily at 5pm. Weekend operations must start initiators 1 thru 4 on Saturday and Sunday when there are production jobs to be run. Type:
$SI 1-4
MVS IPL PROCEDURES
IMPORTANT
If this is an unscheduled IPL be sure to take an MVS Standalone Dump before proceeding with the IPL. See section MVS Standalone Dump Procedures for detailed instructions.
If this has been an outage of one hour or more, boot the entire NOVELL network. See section titled NETWARE SNA GATEWAY PROCEDURES for detailed instructions.

MVS STANDALONE RESTORE PROCEDURE
A Stand-Alone Restore (SAR) is performed whenever the MVS system is both not operational and not ipl-able. SAR is only done by someone from Technical Services.
PRELIMINARY GUIDELINES FOR PROBLEM REPORTING
Before any type of recovery action such as a Stand-Alone Restore is performed, as much information as possible must be gathered for the Systems staff to be able to debug the problem. This information is to be recorded in our REMEDY database. When MVS crashes, the operator should minimally record specific items. Some of these items are:
Are there any "symptom" symbols in the lower left-hand corner (boxed 4 with an "A" over a dash connected to a solid box is normal; all other symbols are abnormal)?
If console is not operational, is the alternate MVS console operational?
PREPARATION FOR INITIATING THE STAND-ALONE RESTORE
General Information about Daily Backups:
Incremental backups are taken daily and full-volume backups are taken weekly. In addition, the sysres volume, OS9RES, is full-volume-dumped daily in job BKPRES00. Stand-Alone Restore uses only full-volume dumps.
Which Backup Cartridges Contain the Latest Full-Volume Dump:
Backup listings may, depending on the time of day, be located in the first floor printer area (office 116C).
Job BKPRES00 is run daily and full-volume dumps the sysres volume. If you are restoring the sysres volume it is usually best to find the most recent BKPRES00 listing and determine which backup cartridges to use for the SAR. Copy the tape volume numbers (keep them in sequence) from this listing.
If you choose not to use BKPRES00 output to restore from, job BKPFDR contains a listing of the latest FDR/ABR backup tapes for each dasd volume. Locate the dasd volume (to be restored). Copy the tape volume numbers (keep them in sequence) from the same line (top line) as the dasd volume; this is always the most recent full-volume backup (but it may be as much as a week old).
Ask the computer operator to retrieve the desired cartridges.
Location of Backup Cartridges:
Weekly full-volume dumps (i.e., the cartridges) are stored in a safe in Fronczak Hall. All other backups (including the daily BKPRES00 cartridges) are in the tape library.
Location of the SAR IPL TEXT:
MVSP03 (F1E), ADMN03 (F16), BSON33 (D03), RFP003 (FC2) & RF0003 (FE2) contain SAR IPL text.
SAR IPL text is also on the FDR/ABR installation tape maintained in office 335 with the FDR/ABR documentation. It is much easier and faster, however, to use the customized SAR IPL text on dasd.
PROCEDURE:
LOGON UBMVS (no password is required)
ACC (NOPROF
VMTAPE ALLOC 791-792 (RDEV 791-792 FOR UBMVS)
Sometimes this command fails with a reason of "unauthorized", do not worry about it. Continue with:
VMTAPE STAM VARY 791-792 NOTAVL UBVM
This keeps VM from trying to use the drives during the SAR.
#CP IPL F1E CLEAR (or, address F16 or D03)
This will take about 3 seconds and produces no messages.
You’ll need to know the address of the dasd volume being restored to and the tape drive address, if other than 791-792 / 991-992.
Merely depress "ENTER" for options you do not wish to change.
Console messages will tell when to mount subsequent tapes. A message on the console will indicate a successful restore.
#CP LOGOFF
Logon to the VM system with your user account.
Enter: TKSUTIL ADMIN UBMVS
And, then your password.
Change the address of the sysres volume.
Logoff
MVS STANDALONE DUMP PROCEDURE
A Standalone dump should be performed whenever MVS is not operational (is "hung") for whatever reason. If an unscheduled MVS IPL is done, a standalone dump must be taken first.
PRELIMINARY GUIDELINES FOR PROBLEM REPORTING
Before any type of recovery action such as an IPL or a Standalone dump is performed, as much information as possible must be gathered for the Systems staff to be able to debug the problem. This information is to be recorded in our REMEDY database. When MVS crashes, the operator should minimally record specific items. Some of these items are:
Copy the pertinent message identifiers and messages.
Are there any "symptom" symbols in the lower left-hand corner (boxed 4 with an A over a dash connected to a solid box is normal; all other symbols are abnormal)?
If the console is not operational, is the alternate MVS console operational?
PREPARATION FOR INITIATING THE STANDALONE DUMP
Information you need to be aware of is:
MVSP01 (F1C) or OS9PRD (F24) contains SAD IPL text.
Also there are four initialized, non-labeled cartridges in the tape library. Currently, these four tapes are located on the top shelf of the Systems 8000 series of cartridges located in the main computer room. They are affixed with external labels of MVSDP1, MVSDP2, MVSDP3 and MVSDP4 (probably only one cartridge will be needed for actual dump).
PROCEDURE:
LOGON UBMVS
#CP SPOOL CONS START TO TKSCMR
#CP TRACE ALL
The following message will be displayed:
HCPTRI1027I An active trace set has turned RUN off.
#CP TRACE RUN
#CP TRACE END ALL
The following message will be displayed.
Trace ended
#CP SPOOL CONS STOP CLOSE
VMTAPE ALLOC 791 (RDEV 791 FOR UBMVS)
NOTE: Type in the complete line above including the parentheses and data within the parentheses.
The following message will be displayed:
VMTACL183I Allocating UBMVS 0791
Then insert unlabeled cartridge (MVSDPn) in drive 791.
#CP CPU 00
The following message will be displayed:
HCPCCP1454I CPU 00 DOES NOT EXIST
#CP SYS STORE STATUS
The following message will be displayed:

#CP IPL F1C
or
#CP IPL F24
The following message will be displayed:
The virtual machine is placed in CP mode due to a SIGP STOP and store status from CPU 01.
AMD083I AMDSADUMP: STANDALONE DUMP INITIALIZED
AMD001A SPECIFY OUTPUT DEVICE ADDRESS(1)
Type the cartridge address where dump tape is loaded (probably 991)
The following messages will appear:
AMD101I OUTPUT DEVICE: 0991
SENSE ID DATA: FF 3480 22 3480 22 BLOCKSIZE: 29,120
AMD011A TITLE=
Type a unique, informative title line. (Include the date & time of dump in the title line). Example: test dump – date & time
Note: You will see LED light activity on the tape drive after the next message is displayed.
AMD005I DUMPING OF REAL STORAGE IN PROGRESS
AMD005I DUMPING OF REAL STORAGE COMPLETED
At this point several other messages will be displayed during the dump process.
Example:
AMD095I Buffers written = nnnnnn
It is important to look up any messages in the MVS Error Messages Volumes which need an action or decision. These messages are suffixed with the A or D indicator. The I indicator just indicates that it is an informational type message.
It is possible that an additional tape will be required for the dump, if so the following message is displayed.
AMD004A End of Reel – Mount an additional output tape.
Mount another tape and dump will continue processing.
If the screen fills, the following message is displayed.
AMD029D REPLY W TO WAIT AFTER NEXT FULL SCREEN, ELSE REPLY N, REPLY =
Enter W for the reply which just means to fill up another screen of information and pause again.
AMD056I DUMPING OF VIRTUAL STORAGE COMPLETED
AMD104I DEVICE VOLUME USED DATA SET NAME
1 0991 *TAPE* 1 N/A
This indicates successful completion of the dump. Also the tape will rewind and unload at this point. Be sure to label the tape with such information as title of dump, date & time and operator initials. If these messages do not appear, take another standalone dump with another tape.
#CP LOGOFF
SDSF (SPOOL DISPLAY AND SEARCH FACILITY) INFORMATION
As you know, messages on the MVS console often scroll off the top of the screen before the operators have a chance to read them. To provide a way to redisplay these messages, a window is used on the PC located to the right of the MVS console using the IBM Personal Communications software. SDSF is a utility of MVS which allows the display and search of the MVS log. See the section on PC’s for basic information on using the IBM Personal Communications software.
LOGGING ON SDSF
VTAM will autolog SDSF onto session E of the IBM Personal Communications software on the PC. However if for any reason it is not logged on use the following procedure.
TSO CONSLOG
SCROLLING THE LOG UP AND DOWN
PAGE each time you hit PF7 or PF8 the log display will move one page
HALF each time you hit PF7 or PF8 the log display will move one half page
CSR wherever the cursor is placed will become the top or bottom of the display when PF8 or PF7 is entered.
If a number is entered the log will advance forward or backward that number of lines when PF7 or PF8 is entered.
SEARCHING THROUGH SYSLOG
To search for a particular character stringer enter:
F xxxxxx
Where xxxxxx = the string you wish to locate
Note: The search will only advance forward from the current position of the cursor. Only an exact match will be found. If there are spaces in the string you wish to find, enclose the string in quotes. To search backward, type:
F xxxxxx PREV
Some additional commands are:
BOT - moves to the bottom of the log
TOP - moves to the top of the log
Frequently, you will want to start of the bottom of the log and scroll backwards.
AUTO-UPDATE MODE
To turn on auto-update mode, click on the SDSF window. Next to the COMMAND INPUT field, type &# (where # is any number from 1-9 which will be the amount of time between updates in seconds).
Example: &5 (automatically updates the screen every 5 seconds)
To turn off auto-update mode, click on the SDSF window. Click on the ASSIST button on the top menu bar on the SDSF display. A drop down menu will appear, select DISPLAY POP-UP KEYPAD and click on it. Another menu will appear, select RESET and click on it. Then click on PA1. This sequence will turn off auto-update mode. Note: The DISPLAY POP UP KEYPAD won’t disappear until you quit it.
BIRD SYSTEM OVERVIEW
BIRD is the University’s online touchtone registration system.
NOTE
STRTMUFP and CICSB must be up for BIRD to be functional.
NORMAL BIRD HOURS
Mondays 0830-2100
Tuesdays 0830-2100
Wednesdays 0830-2100
Thursdays 0830-2100
Fridays 0830-2100
Saturdays 1200-2100
Sundays 1200-2100
The BIRD system is located in room 116A in the left back portion of the room in a vertical cabinet with CCS Computer Communications Specialist, Inc. on front of unit. Actually if you entered the room from the door to the back stairwell, you would walk right into the unit. On the front of the unit is a window allowing you to view the monitor. Approximately half way down is a 3 inch gray area that by pulling down the top of this area you can reach in and slide the keyboard out. To access the machines open the front door of unit which opens on the right side. Machines are labeled from top to bottom 1 through 4. To access the switches on these units a key must be used in the keylock opposite the machine number id. The key is clipped to side of cabinet to the left of the monitor. Insert the key to unlock and drop down the front panel cover. You will then see a RESET, KEYLOCK, and POWER switch. RESET is the only switch you should ever need concern yourself with.
IPL PROCEDURE
This system must be IPL’d whenever MVS is IPL’d.
The IVR console controls all four (4) production machines through a single display tube and keboard. Control can be switched from one system to another by pressing the CNTL (Control) key releasing it and then pressing 1, 2, 3 or the 4 key. A 01, 02, 03, or 04 will appear in the upper right corner of the display screen indicating which of the four systems are being monitored.
To IPL the IVR system press the RESET button located behind the front panel door. If necessary a power cycle can be used to restart the system, however RESET should be tried first.
Although the IVR system is basically a PC and can be IPL’d with CTRL+ALT+DEL, it should never be IPL’d for production using this method.
TESTING PROCEDURE
Call the IVR system on a touch tone phone at 645-7800. Following the instructions given to you by the IVR system, enter any student number or PIN number. If the IVR system responds "YOU NEED ASSISTANCE" the system has determined that the student number and PIN number are not on record on the mainframe and therefore the path between the phone line and the host system is intact and functional. One important point to stress here is that this procedure can only be performed during the regular BIRD hours. If you dial this number at other times of the day, you will get a constant ringing.
Using the following table any suspect phone line can be tested by dialing its phone number and repeating the above procedure.

BISON INFORMATION
BISON TROUBLESHOOTING
In order to trace or attempt to pin down problems, it is sometimes necessary for operators to log in to BISON through an MVS terminal and check if BISON appears to be working properly. He/she can check if other libraries are up through the option cats. This allows them to go to UB’s, BING’s or CRLC libraries. Usually a code number is not needed, but it seems that sometimes a code is requested. Mark Ludwig has given us a code to use for all of Operations. The code number is
29072004213134
TCPIP AND TCPIPL RESTART PROCEDURES
TCPIP and TCPIPL are started automatically at IPL time but if problems are encountered and it is necessary to restart either of these procedures, here’s the procedure.
