IAM Version 9.0: IAM SYSPLEX RECORD LEVEL SHARING (IAM/PLEX)

Available in 2009, IAM Version 9.0 will offer SYSPLEX Record Level Sharing support.Beta testing will start in the Third quarter, 2009.

This support will enable z/OS users of VSAM-based batch and online applications running in aSYSPLEX environment to share data at the record level among applications running on multipleLPARs and/or systems. This is an evolutionary enhancement of the single system record level sharingcurrently available with IAM. The IAM Record Level Sharing support requires no changes to onlineCICS application programs, and depending on certain criteria, either no or minimal changes to batchapplications. IAM SYSPLEX Record Level Sharing will utilize the z/OS XCF and logging SYSPLEXservices to provide the following capabilities for VSAM applications:• Concurrently share data at the record level for update by batch and online applications from multiple

LPARs and systems in a SYSPLEX. This capability provides improved availability of data on onlinesystems by eliminating the need to close files while batch updates are being performed.

• Automatic record locking without application program changes. • Journaling capabilities that can be used for recovery and auditing purposes.• Capabilities to back out updates for failed applications, including an automatic dynamic back out of

updates by a batch job step in the event an abend occurs. • Capabilities to recover datasets that may have experienced a media failure.• Explicit or automated batch sync-point process for long-running batch jobs.

As with single system record level sharing, all of the logical and physical I/O processing for files handledby IAM Record Level Sharing will be performed by an IAM RLS address space. IAM RLS for SYSPLEXoperates with a concept that any particular dataset will be “owned” by one of the instances of anIAMRLS address space within the SYSPLEX and each instance will be responsible for all the I/O andlocking services for the datasets that it owns. I/O requests for datasets handled by remote IAMRLSaddress spaces will be sent to the owning IAMRLS address space utilizing the SYSPLEX XCF services.

If you want to participate in the beta testing and early support program please contact us [email protected]. NOTE: IAM/PLEX (IAM SYSPLEX Record Level Sharing) is a cost option to IAM.

Why IAM: IAM will reduce your batch elapsed time & improve your online response time by 20% to 80%

IAM still offers outstanding performance and reliability for VSAM-based applications. Despite allthe hardware and software changes that have occurred in the last 35 years, IAM continues tooutperform VSAM.

Even compared to enhancements like VSAM SMB, VSAM LSR, hardware compression andextended format files, the IAM structure provides better performance and takes less CPU time and EXCPs than VSAM.

User Experience

Our credit card application continues to grow. Our batch nightly cycle was taking almost 4 hours.We converted the VSAM files to IAM and the batch cycle now takes less than 11/2 hours. IAM hasalso improved our online CICS Performance.

Major improvements in FATSCOPY Version 4.9 L10 and 4.9 L11Many of our customers are replacing their current tape medium with high capacity tapes and virtual tapesystems. FATSCOPY has been significantly enhanced with Version 4.9 L10 and now 4.9 L11 based onfeedback from our customers and from VAR’s that use FATSCOPY as part of a migration service.

Some of the new features are:• ISPF panels to create the JCL and control cards and submit jobs.• Checkpoint data sets to allow easy restart on jobs.• Tape pull reports to show what tapes will be needed for the copy job.• Exclusion by creation program or last used program.• An audit report containing information on each data set copied.

Sample FATSCOPY Panels

FDRERASE for z/OS and FDRERASE/OPEN meet the government requirements for cleaning andoverwriting disks and with the SECUREERASE function meet the requirements for purging andsanitizing disks. Both are NIST certified to EAL2+.New Feature – 5.4 L70 and 2.5.0B with SECUREERASE supports up to 32 passes. This exceeds the US Government DoD standards for sanitizing a disk of 3 cycles of patterns performed 6 times for a total of 18 passes.

FDRERASE helpful hints:

At the DR site we have a limited amount of time to erase all of the disks. What is the most efficient way to run FDRERASE for z/OS?You will get the best performance from FDRERASE for z/OS if you set up one FDRERASE job foreach DASD controller, with one MOUNT command in each job, specifying all of the disks to be erasedwithin that controller. FDRERASE will manage the erase tasks dynamically, and will concurrently eraseup to 64 disks at a time. This approach will provide the fastest elapsed time while avoiding overloadingany one subsystem or the physical disks within the subsystem.

FDRERASE for z/OS using the ERASE option, will take about one hour to erase 1.2 to 1.5 TB perDASD frame.

User Experience: During a recent DR exercise, we found another customer’s data in readableformat on some of the disks that were assigned to us. We licensed and use FDRERASE for z/OSnow to eliminate the risk of other DR clients having access to our data after we leave the DR site.

What are considerations for using FDRERASE/OPEN when you go to a DR Site?For the best performance:

• Ensure that you have an X86 PC with at least 1GB of memory.• In a SAN environment, you must ensure that the SAN switches have the proper Zone definitions for

the system that will run FDRERASE/OPEN.• Allow access to the WWN of the Fibre Channel HBA you are using.• If you have multiple PCs that can access the SAN, you should request multiple CD’s from Innovation

in order to maximize the number of disk subsystems that can be erased at the same time.

User Experience: We refresh all of our PCs every 4 years and before we discard the PC we use FDRERASE/OPEN to do a secure erase on all the disks on the PC.

FDRQUERY EnhancementsFDRQUERY has been enhanced in V5.4/L62 and above with the VSAMSCAN function to quickly scan your online DASD volumes for VSAM datasets and produce a report that includes thenumber of tracks used for each component along with an estimate of the size of the component inbytes. The same information can be obtained with FDREPORT, but FDREPORT is part of the optional ABR component, while FDRQUERY is part of the base FDR product. The VSAMSCANfunction supplements the existing FDRQUERY functions, such as the backup and archive simulationfunctions, which provide reports to show how ABR incremental backups and archive will function.These functions are documented in section 10.25 through 10.30 of the manual. Additional capabilities are available from FDRQUERY, including the ability to print selective SMF records, inquire on datasetutilization, and report on JOB and TSO session statistics. These additional functions are notdocumented in the manual, but are documented in the ICL member FDRQUERY and are alsoavailable with the HELP ALL command from within the FDRQUERY program.

Sample VSAMSCAN Report:

Since the ability to use STEPCAT/JOBCAT has gone away with z/OS 1.7, is thereanother way to specify the catalog you want a dataset to be cataloged in?We recommend the method suggested by the manual “z/OS DFSMS: Managing Catalogs”, in topic“Allocating New System Data Sets under SMS” (the topic does not only apply to SMS).

• In the running system, define an alias such as “SYSB” for the master catalog of the new system.• Do the RESTORE or COPY using “NEWINDEX=SYSB”

The alias will cause the output datasets to be cataloged in the master catalog of the new system.• Use ALTER with the CATALOG parameter to rename the output datasets in the new catalog.You can do this for individual datasets after each COPY or RESTORE, or you can do a generic ALTERto rename all of the datasets at once that you have created in this way:ALTER SYSB.* NEWNAME(SYS1.*) CATALOG(MASTCAT.B)

NOTE that this technique does not use the SYS% conversion facility, but it is compatible with theSYS% conversion facility. Before you do the ALTER, you can refer to the output datasets from the oldsystem using the high-level index SYSB (because that is really their name), regardless of the SYS%conversion facility. After you do the ALTER, if you activate the SYS% conversion facility (MODIFYCATALOG,SYS%ON), you can continue to refer to the output datasets from the old system using thehigh-level index SYSB.

FDRMOVE

For High-Speed Dataset Move and Volume Consolidation

Since its introduction in 2001, FDRPAS has been used in over 1000 DASD migrations. More recently,our customers have used FDRMOVE to automate the consolidation of 3390-3 and 3390-9 to 3390-27 and 3390-54.

The objective is to get the new disk in as quickly as possible to get the benefits of the new technologyand to return the currently installed disk to save from paying additional leasing costs.

We recommend using FASTCPK and FDREPORT to check the current status of the VTOC, VVDS,CATALOGs, etc., before you start the migration.

Innovation supplies a series of jobs that will usually run in less than an hour to see what, if anything, needs to be resolved before the migration. Some of the reports are listed below:

FDRPAS and FDRMOVE Migration Reports

1 Run FDREPORT to list all volumes with VTOCs over xx% full to insure that as you consolidatevolumes, there will be enough room in the VTOCs for the additional data sets. NOTE: FDRMOVE supports expanding the VTOC on active volumes.

2 Run FDREPORT to identify any volumes without an indexed VTOC or on which the indexedVTOC is disabled. Not having an active indexed VTOC can cause performance problems.

3 Run FDREPORT to identify all volumes that have ICF catalogs. These volumes should be moved with FDRPAS.

4 Run FDREPORT to identify all datasets that are not cataloged or not cataloged to the correctvolume. This is very important before FDRMOVE is run to consolidate volumes.

5 Run FDREPORT to identify if there are any VVDS errors. The error conditions reported aremissing VVR/NVR, multiple VVRs/NVRs, extent mismatch, and orphaned VVR/NVR.

6 Run FDREPORT and/or FDRMOVE SIMULATE to identify multi-volume datasets and the number of volumes they reside on.

7 Use FDREPORT to identify the SYSRES and IODF volume(s). When you move these volumes,you will need to update the addresses on the HMC before the next IPL.

8 Volumes that contain the Active Page, Swap and LINKLIST datasets. See Special Considerationsin the manual.

9 Use FDREPORT to list datasets that are marked as unmovable or have a DSORG of undefined.

10 To insure that all the source volumes have no remaining datasets to migrate, use the SIMMOVETYPE=DSF,VTOCEMPTY=CHECK option.

The jobstream for these migration jobs can be downloaded from the JCL library withmember names in the form MOVREPxx. Also review sections 320.01, 320.02 and section325.11 for complete details on FDRPAS and FDRMOVE Special Considerations.

FDR/UPSTREAM Linux on System zIf your organization is like many others, you are finding that the values and benefits of running Linux onSystem z are plentiful. Our customers report that server consolidation and moving those open systemsapplications onto Linux on System z results in:

✔ Lower cost of operations

✔ Less servers

✔ Fewer software licenses

✔ Fewer resources to manage

✔ The mainframe legendary dependability

✔ Less energy, cooling and space

And given that the Linux data is now on the System z mainframe who better than INNOVATION,the makers of FDR, to provide the backup tool!

FDR/UPSTREAM provides reliable, file level data protection by backing up Linux on System z datadirectly to z/OS mainframe tape or DASD. UPSTREAM backups can be automatically initiated from the z/OS mainframe and provide high speed operations including support for HiperSockets, with datade-duplication features and online database agents. UPSTREAM operations can be completelyautomated with JCL condition code checking, automated email notification, and exception reporting,combining the data protection of Linux on System z data into existing disaster plans.

PerformancePerformance when trying to manage terabytes of data can be challenging. UPSTREAM offers severalunique data reduction techniques to minimize the amount of data to be sent to tape and provides a powerfulsolution for Linux. FDR/UPSTREAM provides comprehensive support for Linux on System z and offers an extensive choice of file system support, and backup types that include logical and physical volume.

UPSTREAM performance tools include the synthetic full merge backup, online database agents forOracle, DB2 & Notes Domino, Duplicate file support, and the new Segmented backup support.

New Feature – Data De-duplication

Segmented File Support, is a form of block level de-duplication, allows you to take advantage of the phenomenon that most changes to large files and databases are typically made to a very limitedpercentage of the data. The fact that so much data does not change, means that much of the data in alarge file does not have to be transmitted to be available for restore. Employing the same virtualizationtechnique as full merge backup, i.e. copying data forward from prior backups and recovering data fromincrementals, you can significantly reduce transmission time and backup storage requirements.

Simplified Administration

For Linux on System z users running under zVM, we have developed procedures for sharing a singlecopy of the UPSTREAM executables (binaries) on a read-only disk, between many virtual machines.This will assist with:

• Minimizing Installation Tasks • Simplifying Upgrading to New Releases • Reducing DASD Storage Requirements

The single read-only (R/O) binaries minidisk is linked R/O by all Linux virtual machines and a Read-Write(R/W) output disk, that is unique to each Linux virtual machine, contains the customized configurationfiles, as well as the logging and work files. These two minidisks are connected into the Linux file systemat different mountpoints. When it is time to upgrade, just the binaries minidisk is mounted R/W to oneof the Linux virtual machines, the new binaries are loaded, all the effected virtual machines arerestarted and the upgrade is complete for all virtual machines!

FDR/UPSTREAM and its Linux Rescuer to the RescueThe UPSTREAM Rescuer offers a complete backup and restore solution with disaster recovery for Linuxon IBM System z. It is a stand-alone system recovery facility which allows administrators to completelyrestore a Linux on IBM System z system from data that is saved in FDR/UPSTREAM, without requiringseparate system backups. The Rescuer provides this essential system recovery supplement because it is completely integrated into FDR/UPSTREAM.

FDR/UPSTREAM includes all file types in the system in its file-level backups. It also incorporates in thebackup (with no special set up, consideration or knowledge of file systems) file system mount points and some general information about each of these file systems. It's easy and simple-to-use since all of this information is incorporated transparently in the backup and does not affect backup performance.

FDR/UPSTREAM also supports HiperSockets — the fastest connection between LPARs in the same host system.

1. VSAM PerformanceIAM: The Innovation Access Method (IAM) is a transparent alternative to VSAM KSDS,ESDS and (as a cost option) AIX and RRDS files.

IAM White PaperHow IAM Significantly Reduces VSAM Processing Time. IAM typically uses 40-80% lessI/Os, 20-70% less CPU and 30-70% less DASD. Savings in batch elapsed times and onlineresponse times can range from 20-80%.

2. Backup & RestoreFDRABR Volume & Incremental Backups: The FDRABR Volume and IncrementalBackup system offers high-performance, managed backups of your z/OS DASD volumes,together with optimized processes for dataset and volume restore. For disaster recoverysituations, where multiple volumes need to be restored as quickly as possible, the optionalFDRDRP extension can reduce volume recovery times by up to 80%.

FDRINSTANT: FDRINSTANT enables FDRABR to take near 24x7 backups of duplicatedoffline volumes, created by DASD Subsystem features such as SUN SnapShot Copy, EMC TimeFinder (Mirror, Clone and Snap), HDS ShadowImage and IBM FlashCopy.On systems where the appropriate support is provided, FDRINSTANT can also take a“consistent backup” against a group of duplicated offline volumes that have been createdat the same, consistent point-in-time.

FDRAPPL Application Backup: FDRAPPL can be used to create a managed backupof all the data sets belonging to an application, from whichever disk volumes they reside.An automated control file mechanism ensures that restores of either individual datasets,or the entire application, can be done quickly and easily.

FDRCRYPT: FDRCRYPT provides encryption services for all FDR and ABR backups, andcan also be used to encrypt the sequential output datasets created by an IDCAMS REPRO.A choice of encryption algorithms is available to allow a balance to be struck between thestrength of the encryption and the additional resources required to encrypt (and decrypt)the data.

4. Storage Management Utilities

FDRViEWS: FDRViEWS...Turning Raw Data into Smart Business Decisions. FDRViEWSprovides a simplified user interface to query and analyze your z/OS data storage. WithFDRViEWS, you can take scheduled and/or ad hoc “collections” of the status of your z/OSstorage at both the volume and data set level. FDRViEWS can collect information fromthousands of volumes in just a few minutes. FDRViEWS includes FDREPORT. FDRViEWSproduces output as spreadsheets, charts and trends.

FDREPORT: FDREPORT is an extremely powerful and flexible DASD Management reportgenerator, which can draw information from a variety of sources, including VTOCs, Catalogs,FDRABR control files, and DFHSM’s MCDS and BCDS control datasets. FDREPORT alsoincludes a set of pre-defined “Health Check” reports.

FDRPAS & FDRERASE: FDRPAS allows for the non-disruptive movement of z/OS diskvolumes from one disk device to another. It can move/migrate 100’s of volumes in a few hours.FDRERASE V5.4 L50 is an EAL2+ certified product that can quickly erase many diskvolumes in parallel allowing you to erase all the residual data from a disk after DR Test.

FDRMOVE (Including FDRPAS): FDRMOVE, which includes FDRPAS, provides a high-performance, non-disruptive or minimally-disruptive movement of z/OS data sets. It is idealfor volume consolidation (e.g. consolidating data from three 3390-3’s to a single 3390-9).FDRMOVE is also useful for load balancing to reduce I/O contention.FDRMOVE can move data sets between disk volumes in the same disk subsystem, orbetween disk volumes in different subsystems and between different hardware manufacturers.

5. Tape UtilitiesFATS/FATAR & FATSCOPY: FATS/FATAR is a suite of utilities for z/OS tape, includingsecure data erasure, certification, verification and labeling. FATSCOPY adds additionalfunctionality to the suite, including tape media conversions and tape stacking. FATSCOPYalso supports migrating from tape to VTS or VTS to VTS.

FDR/UPSTREAM: FDR/UPSTREAM builds on the strengths of the FDR DASDManagement Family and provides a fast, safe and reliable solution to backup OpenSystems data to disk or tape under a z/OS host.

A wide range of clients is supported, including Windows, UNIX, Linux, NetWare andVMware.

FDRSOS and FDR/UPSTREAM/SOS: If the open systems data to be backed up isresident on an EMC Symmetrix/DMX with Enterprise Storage Platform (ESP), FDRSOSand FDR/UPSTREAM/SOS can utilize high-speed mainframe channels to offer anexceptional performance backup and restore of that data.

UPSTREAM Reservoir: UPSTREAM Reservoir is designed for sites that prefer to hostUPSTREAM on an open systems server (e.g. Windows, UNIX or Linux), either as analternative to, or as well as FDR/UPSTREAM under z/OS.UPSTREAM Reservoir shares the same basic functionality as FDR/UPSTREAM,but also includes additional features, such as “SAN Express”, which offers a high-speed,“LAN-Free” backup.

Does FATSCOPY 'Copy' or ‘Move’ VTS tapes to physical tapes? FATSCOPY does a Copy. The original data on tape is not changed. The copied tape files will berecataloged or not depending on the options you have selected. If no catalog options are selected,FATSCOPY will recatalog the data sets by default when CATDSN is specified. If no catalog options are selected and ALLDSN is specified, FATSCOPY will recatalog the data sets only if the VOLSERand file sequence number in the catalog match the corresponding information for the data set justcopied. If RENAME is used, see related question below.

By default, FATSCOPY will not expire or scratch the input volume. If TMSINPUT=SCRATCH is specified, FATSCOPY will add 4 to the current date to set the input to expire in 4 days. The ADDXDAYS keyword can be used to change the number of days added to the current date.

When FATSCOPY copies a tape, can it retain the original creating job name andoriginal creation date?Yes. For CA-1, FATSCOPY propagates the following fields from the input to the output: creation dateand time; creating job name, step name, and program name; last used date and time; last used joband last used program; and expiration date, unless RETPD or EXPDT is specified on the TAPEOUT DD.For RMM, FATSCOPY propagates the following fields: creation date and time; creating job name, stepname, program name, and DD name; last read date and time; last write date and time; and expirationdate, unless RETPD or EXPDT is specified on the TAPEOUT DD.

We have 20 DB2 image copies written to VTS every night. Can FATSCOPY COPY andstack those VTS tape datasets to 3592s with new names and catalog those whilekeeping the original VTS tape datasets in place?Yes. FATSCOPY supports creating a new output file and changing its name. For example: You can add an index level called .DR as the second level and then at your disasterrecovery site you can recopy the tape again and drop the .DR second level qualifier.

To copy datasets that start with JMK1.LABELED. and add a second index level of .DR:

COPY CAT=YES,MULTIFILE=YES SELECT CATDSN=JMK1.LABELED.** RENAME LF=ALL,NEWI=.+DR

Copy to original name dropping the second level

COPY CAT=RECAT,MULTIFILE=YES SELECT CATDSN=JMK1.DR.LABELED.** RENAME LF=ALL,NEWI=.–

If I copy tape files with FATSCOPY, and I use a RENAME command to give differentdsnames to the output files, will the output files be cataloged?With CAT=RECAT, which is the default on SELECT CATDSN, the output tape files will always becataloged; if they were already cataloged, the catalog will be updated. With CAT=ONLY, which is thedefault on SELECT ALLDSN, the output tape files will not be cataloged with RENAME. With RENAME,if cataloging of the output files is desired, CAT=YES or CAT=RECAT should be used.

CAT=RECAT should be used with caution, because if a production data set with the dsname that youare creating exists on a different tape, it will become uncataloged.

FDREPORT produces FDRABRP-style reportsThe FDRABRP program has been functionally stabilized, although it is still available. The currentlyrecommended program for batch reporting on DASD-related resources is FDREPORT. FDREPORT is a generalized report writer for DASD data sets and volumes, obtaining input from VTOCs, VVDSs,MVS catalogs, the ABR ARCHIVE control file, the ABR SCRATCH catalog, the DFSMShsm MCDSand BCDS, and other sources. FDREPORT provides great flexibility for the user to define the contentsand format of the report. However, FDREPORT can also be used to produce reports in the predefinedformats of FDRABRP, by specifying the RPTYPE parameter. RPTYPE=ABRVTOC produces a reportequivalent to FDRABRP PRINT VTOC, and RPTYPE= ARCHIVE produces a report equivalent toFDRABRP PRINT ARCHIVE.

For example, the FDREPORT JCL and control statements below will produce a report equivalent toFDRABRP with PRINT VTOC,VOL=IDPLB2.//FDREPORT EXEC PGM=FDREPORT,REGION=0M//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*//ABRMAP DD SYSOUT=*//SYSIN DD *XSELECT VOL=IDPLB2PRINT DATATYPE=VTOC,RPTYPE=ABRVTOC,SORT=YES

/*

Examples showing how to use FDREPORT to produce reports in the format of FDRABRP can befound in the FDR JCL library for Version 5.4L70 and higher, with member names in the form EX53*.The example above is in member EX5307B.

Backup Performance Recommendation: For the best performance on backups, make sure that your DUMP statement specifies RTC=YES.This way FDR will read a full cylinder at a time instead of half a cylinder, and will use a more efficientCCW chain. You should also make sure that you are not specifying COMPRESS=ALL unless yourBackup or Archive is going to disk.

If you are running FDRCRYPT, then the RTC=YES and COMPRESS=ALL options are not applicable.

How to COPY a dataset and give it a new name.FDRDSF and FDRCOPY provide you with great flexibility in creating a different name for a dataset.

Example: A user is migrating to a new environment, with new naming standards. There are thousandsof VSAM files that need to be renamed when restoring them. The user needs to change one HLQ tothree new qualifiers and keep the rest of the old name.

Objective: Change dsnames starting with PBDPRODV. to start with OMND.POMS.SYC. and retainthe rest of the name.

RESTORE TYPE=DSFSELECT DSN=PBDPRODV.**,NEWI=OMND.+POMS.+SYC

Another useful feature is being able to add a new qualifier to the end of a group of dataset names thathave different numbers of levels.

Example: COPY TYPE=DSFSELECT CATDSN=PAYROLL.**,NEWI=++YR2010

This will COPY any dataset that has a high level index of PAYROLL, and the new datasets will have alast qualifier of .YR2010. See the description of the NEWINDEX keyword for complete details on howto change, delete, and add index levels while creating a new dsname.
