Operating System in zSeries

How many operating systems in zSeries? z/OS The major operating system in zSeries This session will focus on this! z/VM user acts as its own virtual operating system VM guests can include any zSeries operating system Frequently used for independent development and testing facilities Now key to the Scale Out strategy for horizontal scaling of Linux servers on zSeries z/Linux A native zSeries operating environment, not a replacement for other IBM zSeries operating systems Designed to support mixed work loads
12

There are also some other operating systems in zSeries: VSE/ESA Small to mid-size 390 customers Most often used on very small 390 hardware Runs some common 390 components such as CICS, VTAM, etc. AIX/ESA First IBM mainframe UNIX implementation Well, there was IX/370 in 1984, but virtually no one ever heard of it Superceded by Unix System Services on MVS/ESA, OS/390, etc. and now Linux TPF Primarily for very high transaction rate, specialized applications (airline scheduling)

z/OS Component
z/OS is an integrated enterprise server operating system. It incorporates into one product a leading-edge and open communication server, distributed data and file services, Parallel Sysplex ,object-oriented programming, distribute computer environment and open application interface. Generally, z/OS consists of: BCP JES TSO/ISPF DFSMS Other software required In this session, well look into everyone of them.
18
z/OS Component Base Element

z/OS system consists of base elements that deliver essential operating functions. In addition to the services provided by MVS/ESA, this means such functions as communication support, online access, host graphic, and online viewing of publications. MVS/ESA JES2 TSO/E ISPF DFSMSdfp USS SMP/E ..
19 Introduction to zSeries
z/OS Component
Optional Element
In addition to the base, z/OS also has optional features that are closely related to the base features. There are two types : one type is always shipped with the system whether they are ordered or not, and another is not shipped automatically. JES3 RMF RACF SDSF TCP/IP FOR MVS DFSMSdss ..
20
IPL
system is ready!
You can customize the system parameters upon Initialization Programming Load. There are three types of IPL: Cold Start Any IPL that loads (or reloads) the PLPA, but does not preserve VIO data set pages. Warm Start Any IPL that doesnt reload the PLPA , but does preserve VIO data set pages. Quick Start Any IPL that doesnt reload the PLPA and does not preserve VIO data set pages.

21
Configuration
Most of the system configuration is provided by data set SYS1.PARMLIB. SYS1.PARMLIB is read by the system at IPL, and later by such components as RMF. This is the most important data set in z/OS operating system! There are the most important parmlib members in this data set: IEASYSxx IEASYMxx LOADxx

Interface
Zhang Bo
IBM CSDL
Processing type
There are three types of processing available under z/OS: Interactive processing
The most common type, is quick and ideally suited for development and administration.
Batch processing
This is commonly used for running large routine programs.
Transaction processing
This is used mainly in customer service environment.
26
Whats the interface for z/OS

You can communicate with z/OS with either interactive method or batch method. In this section, well focus on the primary interface of z/OS TSO and the related interface that can help you operate z/OS.
ISPF SMP/E RMF SMF RACF USS
Besides these facilities, TSO command and MVS command is also very helpful for you to work with z/OS.
TSO command MVS command
TSO/E
TSO/E is a base element of the z/OS operating system that allows users to interactively work with the system. In general, TSO/E makes it easier for people with all levels of experience to interact with the z/OS system. You can use TSO/E in any of the following three environments: Line Mode
The quick and direct way to use TSO.
ISPF/PDF
The major way to use TSO. It provides dialog management service to enable users to navigate through panels.
28
ISPF
The Interactive System Productivity Facility/Program Development Facility (ISPF/PDF) is a set of panels that help you manage libraries of information on the MVS system.
29
ISPF
ISPF has four main components: Dialog Manager (DM)
This provides services to dialogs and end users. PDF assist dialog or application developers by providing development service.
Software Configuration Library Manager (SCLM)

This is a library facility that supports the software development cycle of an application from the program design phase to release of final products.
Client/Server Component (C/S)

This enables users to run ISPF on a workstation, integrate workstation tools and data with host tools and data.
Program Development Facility

This is the environment for programmers to develop programs, dialogs and documents.
30
SMP/E
System Modification Program Extended (SMP/E) is a tool designed to manage the installation of software products on your z/OS system, and to track the modifications applied to those products.
31
RMF
Many different activities are required to keep your z/OS running smoothly, and to provide the best service on the basis of the available resources and workload requirements. Resource Management Facility is the tool that helps people do this effectively.
32
SMF
System Management Facility collects and records system and job-related information that you use in billing users, analyzing the configuration, scheduling jobs, maintain an auditing security, and so on.
33
RACF
z/OS Security Server integrates Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) on local and distributed z/OS systems. RACF controls authorized user access by: Identifying and authenticating users. Authorizing users to access the protected resources. Logging and reporting attempts of unauthorized access to protected resources. RACF includes encryption, data and transaction integrity, individual authentication, and transaction accountability.
USS
Beginning with OS/390 V2R3, UNIX System Services has been merged with the BCP, and is now part of the BCP FMID. In addition, OMVS address space is started automatically. z/OS UNIX interacts with the following elements and features of z/OS: Two interfaces: Shell interface
You can use shell in z/OS just like what you do in other unix system.
API
Through API, program can run in any environment of z/OS, and request both MVS service and unix service.
35
TSO Line Command

In TSO/E line-mode you type TSO/E commands one line at a time. It is a quick and direct way to use TSO/E and was the way programmers originally used to communicated interactively with the z/OS operating system.
Example 1: allocate da('zosinter.partds.s1') new dir(4) block(800) space(20,10) dsorg(po) recfm(f,b) lrecl(80) blksize(3200) catalog
Example 2: allocate da('zosinter.partds.s2') like('zosinter.partds.s1')

Data Storage
Zhang Bo
IBM CSDL
Basic Concept
Some basic concept for data storage in z/OS: Data Record Data Set Access Method Storage Device DASD TAPE
VTOC DSCB
42
Non-VSAM Data Set

Data Set is the term IBM uses to refer to files. There are three basic non-VSAM data set types in the MVS environment. Sequential Data Set Partitioned Data Set Partitioned Data Set Extended
43
Non-VSAM Data Set

Sequential Data Set Sequential Data Set records are arranged in the order in which they were written. New records are added to the end of the data set and are stored on DASD or tape. To retrieve a record, the system looks at each record in sequence until the required record is found. Partitioned Data Set Partitioned Data Sets (PDS) are divided into members containing one or more records and identified by a unique name. A directory located at the beginning of the data set contain each member name and its starting location within the data set. With a partitioned data set, you can retrieve any member without searching the entire set. Members can be added or deleted, but space cannot be reused until the data set is reorganized. Partitioned Data Set Extended Partitioned Data Set extended (PDSE) is similar to partitioned data sets, but makes more efficient use of DASD space. Although the size of PDS directory is fixed, PDSE directories expand to fit the members stored in it. Space is reallocated automatically when members are deleted or added to use when needed, without having to reorganize the set.
44
VSAM Data Set

In addition to the three basic data set types, z/OS also support Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) data sets. VSAM data sets use one of four data organizations.
Entry-Sequenced Data Set (ESDS) Key-Sequenced Data Set (KSDS) Linear Data Set (LDS) Relative Record Data Set (RRDS)
45
VSAM Data Set

ESDS The Entry-Sequenced Data Set (ESDS) sequences records in the order they were entered in the data set. New records appear only at the end of the set, and existing records can not be deleted. KSDS The Key-Sequenced Data Set (KSDS) places logical records in the data set in ascending collated sequence by a unique, contiguous key field. The key determins the record's collating position in the data set. LDS The Linear Data Set (LDS) has a control interval size of 4096 bytes to 32768 bytes, with a block size of 4096 bytes and no imbedded control information. These sets are processed as a restricted ESDS. LDSs can not be accessed for individual records since they do not contain control information. LDSs are used to contain data space and hiperspace data. RRDS Fixed-length Relative Record Data Sets (RRDS) consist of several fixed-length slots sequenced by ascending relative record number. Data records are fixed in individual slots. Variable-length RRDS are placed in order of their ascending relative record number. Unlike fixed length data sets, they do not have slots.
46
Catalog
System tracks the locations of data sets through catalogs. Users can search for data sets in the catalogs by name and move data to another device without changing its references. A master catalog contains pointers to all system data sets, which are used for system initialization, and aliases or indirect pointers to user data sets. Aliases point to a user catalog where user data sets are cataloged.
Master Catalog
User Catalog
47
DFSMS
The Data Facility Storage Management Subsystem (DFSMS) simplifies storage, data, program, and device management as well as access to distributed data. The Storage Management Subsystem (SMS) works with other components to help automate and optimize storage management. As new data is created, the SMS automatically assigns services and attributes to the data using values defined by the installation. Through SMS, user can establish policies for the use of hardware resources and control how these resources and control how these resources are used and what service levels are available; this includes data availability, performance, space, and security. Once these policies are established, the system manages the complexities of optimizing the use of expensive hardware to meet performance criteria.

Work Management
Zhang Bo
IBM CSDL
JCL What is JCL?

Job Control Language (JCL) is used to tell the system what program to execute, followed by a description of program inputs and outputs. JCL consists of a seires of statements, each of which provides specific instructions or information for batch processing jobs. It provides the system with a source of information about the details : the programs to execute the location of required data set the department to be billed for CPU processing time the job priority
53
JCL statement structure

There are three basic JCL statements: JOB
Provides a name (job name) to the system for this batch workload. It can optionally include accounting information and a few job-wide parameters.
EXEC
Provides the name of a program to execute. There can be multiple EXEC statements in a job. Each EXEC statement within the same job is a job step.
DD
The Data Definition provides inputs and outputs to the execution program on the EXEC statement. This statement links a data set or other I/O device or function to a DDNAME coded in the program. DD statements are associated with a particular job step.
54
JCL parameter
Parameter JOB REGION CLASS NOTIFY MSGCLASS . EXEC PARM COND TIME DD DSN DISP SYSOUT Parameters known by and passed to the program. Boolean logic for controlling execution of other EXEC steps in this job Imposes a time limit. The name of the data set; this can include creation of temporary or new data sets or a reference back to the data set name. Data set disposition, such as whether the data set needs to be created or already exists, and whether the data set can be shared by more than one job. Defines a print location (and the output queue or data set). What it is for Requests specific memory resources to be allocated to the job Directs a JCL statement to execute on a particular input queue Sends notification of job completion to a particular user, such as the submitter of the job Directs job output to a particular output queue
55
JCL - example
//UNLDTAPE JOB CLASS=A,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),MSGCLASS=A, // NOTIFY=SYSPRG1,USER=WFSEUBE,PASSWORD=ABCD //*************************************************************** //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY //* //IN1 DD DSN=IBM.HCMP120.F1,UNIT=TAPE,VOL=SER=CMP120, // LABEL=(2,SL),DISP=(OLD,KEEP) //OUT1 DD DSN=NETCOMM.HCMP120.JCL,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE), // UNIT=SYSALLDA,DCB=*.STEP1.IN1,SPACE=(8800,(5,1,10)) //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * COPY INDD=IN1,OUTDD=OUT1 /* //
56
JES - what is JES?

The system uses a job entry subsystem (JES) to receive jobs into the operating system, schedule them for processing by MVS, and control their output processing. JES2 and the base control program (BCP) provide the necessary functions to get jobs into , and output out of the MVS system. Who will manage the jobs ? Before processing --- JES During processing --- BCP After processing --JES
57
JES Job Life Cycle

The batch job processing cycle includes the following steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Job Submission Job Reading Job Spooling Job Selection Job Execution and Output Spooling
Users submit work to the operating system whenever it needs to be processed. JES reads user jobs into the system. JCLs are stored by the JES on the spool data set awaiting selection for execution. A job is selected from the spool for execution based on a job class, designating the type of work it is, and its job priority, which specifies its relative importance. Application is performed and data is processed. The input data is processed and the output data is stored, until it is needed. During execution, some of the job's output may be placed on the spool for later transcription.
6. 7.
Output transcription Job Purging
After the job has completed, the job output is retrieved from the spool transcribed, and usually printed. The system deletes the job from the spool.
58
JES how to process a job?

During the life of a job, both JES2 and BCP handle different phases of the overall processing. Jobs go through six phases:
Input Conversion Processing Output Hard Copy Purge
59
JES the difference between JES2 and JES3

IBM provides two job entry subsystem from which to choose: JES2 and JES3. If a system uses only one processor, JES2 and JES3 perform similar functions. If there are several processors in a configuration, each JES2 processor controls its own job input, scheduling ,and output processing, while a single JES3 controls all job selection, scheduling and device allocation functions for all the other JES3 systems.
60
SDSF
After submitting a job, it is common to use System Display and Search Facility (SDSF) to review the output for successful completion or review and correct JCL errors: Viewing the system log and searching for any literal string Input system command Controlling job processing (hold, release, cancel, and purge jobs) Monitoring jobs while they are being processed Displaying job output before deciding to print it Controlling the order in which jobs are processed Controlling the order in which output is
