    Just like the SYNTAXCHECK checks the syntax of BPXPRMxx, I'd like to have the ability to compare whatever there is in the BPXPRMxx in terms of mount and mount points against the root file system. A feature that checks if the mount points exist in ...

    Enable OCOPY to create and maintain ISPF statistics for PDS members

    Currently, using OCOPY to update a PDS does not generate ISPF statistics, which would be useful for a number of reasons. FTP allows this now as long as the ISPFSTATS configuration statement is present.

    In the default z/OS distribution predefine empty mount point /dsfs

    With the default SMP/E root filesystem please deliver it with a /dsfs mount point so that it is there and won't be lost with maintenance.

    Use SETOMVS SYNTAXCHECK on libraries other than the current PARMLIB

    We can use the SETOMVS SYNTAXCHECK command to check our BPXPRMxx member in the current PARMLIB concatenation. However, most errors occur during IPL time with an updated version of these members, which might be on a different data set or even a dif...

    z/OS UNIX System Services - enhance D OMVS,MF to display requester

    Enhance D OMVS,MF to display the requester of the (failed) mount attempt. Currently the D OMVS,MF does not provide information on who (what userid/job) is attempting to mount a file system (and fails). In our scenario, D OMVS,MF showed that 'someo...

    how to identify the JVM's type as z/OS Connect when z/OS Connect is running with Java17.

    Our goal is how to identify the jvm type as z/OS Connect when z/OS Connect is running with Java17.Current method used is to examine the USS callable Service BPX1GTH to scan the returned values. The returned values are truncated, and the item searc...

    Upgrade to the BPXPRM## syntax checker

    BPXF029E return codes for failed ROOT mount when ZFS is not initialized

    Recently, we were supposed to remove/comment the FILESYSTYPE TYPE(HFS) statement in our BPXPRMxx, but instead we made the following mistake: FILESYSTYPE TYPE(ZFS) /* Filesystem type ZFS */ ENTRYPOINT(GFUAINIT) /* Entrypoint for defining ZFS */ /* ...

    Tolerate %NOCOMMENT and %COMMENT in initial /* rexx */ comment of a USS Rexx script

    Under TSO/E, one may specify %NOCOMMENT in the first line /* rexx */ identifier as a signal to the TSO/E Rexx processor and to VLF to compress the in-storage source by removing all comment text, leaving just /**/. This saves storage during executi...

    BPX SYNTAXCHECK validation of FILESYSTYPE

    As part of the work to migrate systems to z/OS 2.5, I believe many customers are converting HFS files to ZFS, and removing the related HFS definitions from BPXPRMxx. Recently we made a mistake of changing the FILESYSTYPE TYPE(HFS) statement to TYP...
