USS FILE TRIGGER

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

This fix introduces support for USS File trigger.

After this fix is applied, you can use a USS file path and USS keyword

instead of data set name on the event level DSTRIG command

or in the DSNAME statement for a DSTRIG workload object.

USS File Trigger format for event-level data set trigger:

DSTRIG Ý'¨pathÝ'¨

USS

ÝJOBNAME(jobname)¨

ÝMULTIPLE ÝPRIMED¨¨

ÝRENAME¨

ÝCOUNT(n|1) ÝCURRENT(n|0)¨¨

ÝUSER(userid)¨

Syntax for USS File Trigger for DSTRIG workload object:

DSNAME Ý'¨pathÝ'¨

USS

ÝRENAME¨

ÝCOUNT(n|1)¨


ÝUSER(userid)¨

The USS File trigger works with information from SMF Type 92 subtype 11

and 14 which need to be enabled on the system.

The path operand specifies the full path or path suffix of a USS file,

it includes the USS file name.

Limits:

Maximum length is 63 characters.

The full path starts with a forward slash (/), for example,

DSNAME /usr/local/foo.sh USS

A path suffix starts with one of the full directory names in the path

and it has no forward slash (/) at the start. A match is made for USS

files that include the path suffix at the end of the full path for

that file. For example,

DSNAME local/foo.sh USS

Minimum length for a path suffix is 8 characters.

When choosing between using the full path or a path suffix, consider

how it is expected that the USS file will be accessed. If the command

that updates or renames the specified USS file got the full path on

the input, then the full path will be present in the SMF Type 92

and the full path will be used to match against the defined USS File

triggers. For example, for the command

ls -la > /usr/local/dir

SMF Type 92 will contain the full path /usr/local/dir and the full

path /usr/local/dir will be matched against the defined USS File

triggers.

This means that the USS File trigger defined using the path suffix

local/dir would be a match for the path /usr/local/dir in the SMF

and also the USS File trigger defined using the absolute path

/usr/local/dir.

If the same command would be issued from directory /usr/ using

relative path

ls -la > ./local/dir

then SMF Type 92 would contain ./local/dir and this path would be

used for match.


local/dir would be a match for the path ./local/dir in the SMF,

but not the USS File trigger defined using the absolute path

/usr/local/dir.

If path contains blanks, enclose it in single quotes.

USS File trigger is also supported in MAPGEN, JOBDATA or WOBDATA function

for the variable DSNAME and %ESPFTFILE built-in symbolic variable.



Release Service DetailsThe SIMULATE and SCAN commands now support a USS path in the TRDSN operand.

After installation of this PTF the subsystem must be restarted with

the 'RELOAD' option.

SYMPTOMS:

None.

IMPACT:

None.

CIRCUMVENTION:

None.

TRACKING MODEL JOBFAILEVENT NOT MASKED BY CCCHK


Monitor event JOBFAILEVENT is triggered by a job abend even though

the abend was masked by CCCHK. A job abend masked by CCCHK will not

trigger JOBFAILEVENT upon applying this fix.

SYMPTOMS:

A JOBFAILEVENT is triggered even though a job abend was masked by

CCCHK.

IMPACT:

A JOBFAILEVENT runs when it should not.

OVERDUE NOT WORKING


Late end time for a job in ESP applications can be

set by one of the following:

- DUEOUT EXEC statement in a job definition

- MAXRUNTIME variable in a job definition

- Manually by AJ command

First off, this fix corrects bugs in setting job's

late end time based on MAXRUNTIME value, as well as

bugs in processing of AJ command.

Another bug was that job's propagated late end time

would overwrite explicitly set late end time in job

predecessors, and this resulted in missing overdue

messages and/or notifications. To fix this bug and

avoid other confusion, new LATE status is introduced

here:

- If a job is late only due to propagated late end

time its status in CSF will be shown as LATE.

OVERDUE-END status is reserved only for jobs

that are late due to explicitly set overdue time,

regardless of propagated late end time.

- By default, job end overdue messages and

notifications are issued only when job becomes

OVERDUE-END (explicitly set late end time).

When job is LATE, only CSF shows its status,

no messages or notifications are issued.

- New 195 usermod is introduced here. When it is on,

job end overdue messages and notifications are

issued for LATE jobs too (propagated set late end

time).

SYMPTOMS:

Overdue end times are processed incorrectly.

IMPACT:

Users don't have reliable information about overdue end jobs.

Overdue end notifications may not be issued.

CIRCUMVENTION:

Release Service DetailsThis fix introduces new LATE status for jobs that are late only due to

propagated late end time (but not explicitly set). The status will be

displayed in CSF for such jobs. OVERDUE-END status is reserved only for

jobs that are late due to explicitly set overdue time. Usermod 195 is

introduced by the fix to preserve compatibility with the previous

behavior. When usermod 195 is on, then job end overdue messages and

notifications will be issued for both LATE and OVERDUE-END jobs. Without

this usermod, only OVERDUE-END jobs will issue messages and

notifications.

DISPLAY USER1-4 VARIABLES IN LAP AND LSCH


This enhancement enables users to display USER1-4 variables

in the output of LISTAPPL(LAP) or LISTSCH(LSCH) commands.

If any of USER1-4 was set when the event was triggered,

then it can be displayed using LAP command with any of

the following operands - ALL , JOBS RESOURCES, JOBS SUCCESSORS,

JOBS PREDECESSORS.

The LSCH command with new operand USERVARS will display all

scheduled events that have at least one of USER1-4 variables set.

SYMPTOMS:

Users cannot retrieve USER1-4 using LAP or LSCH commands.

IMPACT:

Users are not able to easily retrieve USER1-4 variables set when

event was triggered.

ZOS ESP CCSR010E U0914 ABEND


An abend U0914 is encountered as a result of two factors. The first is ESP

running in ZIIP mode and the second is a user exit that changes PSW state

from SUPERVISOR to PROBLEM state. The ZIIP supporting code is not expecting

that.

SYMPTOMS:

Abend U0914 occurs and the ESP is shut down.

IMPACT:

ESP started task abends.

CIRCUMVENTION:

The workaround is either not using the exit changing PSW state, or not using

the ZIIP mode.
