Page 10 2 Software extensions Only the main extensions and enhancements over the previous ver- sion BS2000/OSD-BC V5.0 are described in the following sections. 2.1 Adaptations to CFCS 4.3 The progress reporting in CFCS 4.3 for different requirements has been implemented in BS2000/OSD V6.
Page 11 2.5 Functional extensions for SM pubsets The new SMPGEN MODIFY-SYSTEM-MANAGED-PUBSET statement can be used to extend existing system managed pubsets by single feature pub- sets, where each single feature pubset is turned into a volume set of the system managed pubset.
Page 12 2.8 Reorganizing open files Previously, it was only possible to reorganize closed files in pubsets or volumes with SPACEOPT. As of SPACEOPT V3.0, open files can also be included when reor- ganizing pubsets and reducing file extents. Please consult the Release Notice SYSFGM.
Page 13 The files are encrypted in pages with the symmetrical DES or AES encryption method. The encryption method can be selected via the FILECRYPT system parameter and can be changed dynamically.
Page 14 2.12 Four character mnemonic name for tape devices A four character hexadecimal device mnemonic (1000 – FFFF) is now also allowed for tape devices. A two character alphanumeric name is still allowed as previously for all device types. This makes more than 1300 tape devices addressable.
Page 15 *2 For SF and SM Pubsets, the maximum catalog file size will be *2 increased to 32008 4K blocks, representing a 98% enlargement. *2 In the case of SM Pubsets, the special catalogs #MIN, #JVC *.
Page 16 2.14.2 Self-configuring NK-ISAM Pools in Data Spaces *2 To further relieve the system address area, NK-ISAM files are *2 buffered in Data Spaces. At the same time, buffer areas are *2 created strictly for individual files and no longer for file *2 groups, thus reducing the number of lock conflicts over access *2 to the buffer areas.
Page 17 2.15 New functions of BS2000/OSD V6.0B with Correction Package 1/2006 2.15.1 JENV V5.0 *3 BS2000/OSD with the JENV V5.0 component has been certified as *3 JAVA COMPATIBLE by Sun Microsystems, Inc. This provides the *3 assurance that Java programs can run on BS2000/OSD without re- *3 compilation or other modifications.
Page 18 2.16 New functions in BS2000/OSD V6.0B with Correction Package 2/2006 2.16.1 Autonomous, dynamic control of I/O resources (IORM) *4 The new utility program IORM facilitates autonomous, dynamic *4 control of the I/O resources, devices, controllers, channels *4 (type S and type FC) and paths.
Page 19 *4 Dynamic I/O load distribution for disks on the FC channel of *4 the S server (DPAV) *4 Only one I/O can be executed at any particular time on a disk. *4 If several applications with a large number of I/Os use the same *4 disk, this can lead to high wait times.
Page 20 *4 Limiting the I/O inclusion of single VM2000 guest systems (IOLVM) *4 Less important guest systems that have intensive I/O activity, *4 can severely impede other, much more important guest systems *4 that use the same I/O resources. *4 The IORM function can detect such conflict situations and *4 intervene predictively.
Page 21 *4 data. As of BS2000/OSD-BC V6.0, a new system behavior will *4 therefore be introduced with which the default value of the CCS *4 name of a file is determined.
Page 22 2.17 New functions in BS2000/OSD V6.0B with Correction Package 1/2007 2.17.1 Support for Unicode in BS2000/OSD via XHCS-SYS *5 Due to new EU directives, the previously supported character sets *5 are no longer sufficient in the medium term. As of BS2000/OSD-BC *5 V6.
Page 23 *5 The UTF codes (Unicode Transformation Format) UTF-8, UTF-16 (2 *5 Byte) and UTF-E that follows UTF-EBCDIC from IBM are supported in *5 BS2000/OSD. 2.17.2 Support for Unicode by the software products *5 The software environment required for supporting the Unicode *5 functionality is provided in BS2000/OSD-BC V6.
Page 24 2.17.3 Improved SAN support (SANCHECK function) *5 Since the introduction of the fibre channel, the FC connection *5 technology SAN (Storage Area Network) is being used increasingly *5 for connecting Symmetrix storage subsystems and magnetic tape de- *5 vices (CentricStor and LTO).
Page 25 *5 The following tuning parameters can be modified dynamically: *5 FORCEDTERM Forces termination of the subsystem. *5 HDSTNI Number of server tasks for asynchronous I/Os. *5 HDPTNI Maximum number of mounted local file systems. *5 HEAPSZ Maximum possible value for brk() system call.
Page 26 2.18 New functions in BS2000/OSD V6.0B with Correction Package 2/2007 *6 BS2000/OSD V6.0B correction level B72 does not contain functional *6 extensions in the software products. 2.19 New functions in BS2000/OSD V6.0B with Correction Package 1/2008 2.
Page 27 2.20 Implemented change requests / extended commands 2.20.1 MOVE-TASK-TO-CATEGORY The system administration can use the new MOVE-TASK-TO-CATEGORY command to change the assignment of a task to a category if, for example, it is necessary to provide better control of this task or relieve the load on a category.
Page 28 2.20.4 NTP/BS2 TimeServer with highest priority The time server NTP (NETWORK-TIME-PROTOCOL) is the server with the highest priority in BS2000 when the stratum value is less than five or the sy.
Page 29 2.20.9 Catalog expansion commands *2 ADD-CATALOG-FILE *2 With this command up to 100 special catalogs can be created for *2 SM Pubsets in the catalog format “extra large” for migrated *2 files, job variables and private disk/volume files. *2 The names of the new catalog files have the form *2 :<catid>:$TSOS.
Page 30 2.20.11 Extended commands for setting CCS defaults *4 CREATE-FILE / CREATE-FILE-GROUP *4 The CODED-CHARACTER-SET operand has been extended by the *4 USER-DEFAULT parameter which is simultaneously also the new *4 default value.
Page 31 3.2 Software configuration The following SOLIS correction levels are required in the source version for BS2000/OSD-BC V6.0: *5 BS2000/OSD-BC V5.0 (as of correction level C71) or *5 BS2000/OSD-BC V4.0 (as of correction level A71) If systems running BS2000/OSD-BC V5.

Page 33 Innovations in IMON V2.8: The new CHECK-UNITS function allows you to check that the system is complete, correct and up to date. For customer-specific installations, all installation parameters can be saved into a standardized parameter file and passed over to IMON for all subsequent installations.
Page 34 *4 Innovations in IMON V3.0 *4 With IMON V3.0, delivery units that are parked on a key-formatted *4 pubset can be installed on a non-key-formatted pubset. *4 Previously, the statement GENERATE-IDF displayed all delivery *4 units. Only the installed delivery units are now offered in the *4 dialog.
Page 35 For availability reasons, you are strongly advised not to perform an update installation on the active home pubset! Certain hardware requirements must be fulfilled for a first-time installation: the installed hardware configuration must be a su- perset of the minimum configuration, i.
Page 36 BCAM memory values: The values for the maximum size of the resident and paging memory for data transfers are calculated by BCAM at startup from the size of the system memory (BS2000 MEMSIZE system value).
Page 37 The following class 2 system parameters have been discontinued: - CCPUNORM - DELLOGLN The following class 2 system parameters have been changed: - JTABSMEM Defines the maximum JIT memory on SX servers. The memory is requested as resident and must therefore match the memory available on the machine.
Page 38 New commands: The percentage of main memory used for big pages can be changed with the new command MODIFY-MEMORY-PARAMETERS. The command SHOW- MEMORY-CONFIGURATION displays the current configuration of main memory, including the use of big pages.
Page 39 3.5 Obsolete functions (and those to be discontinued) The following functions are no longer supported as of this ver- sion: - Paging on global memory - The utility program UGEN is no longer supplied. The internal name of the standard EXEC or the SYSSIZE is modified with the procedure SYSPRC.
Page 40 3.7 Restrictions - Processing encrypted files Encrypted files cannot be accessed in BS2000/OSD < V6.0, they can only be displayed and deleted. However, in an SPVS network a slave access from within BS2000/OSD V6.0 is possible even if BS2000/OSD < V6.
Page 41 Document types The following documents will be needed, depending on the situa- tion: - SLED (following a system crash) - SNAPFILE - SYSTEMDUMP (following a system dump message) - SYSOUT/SYSLST.
Page 42 For BCAM problems: - activate all DCM traces with /DCDIAG DCM.,MODE=SAVE and after reproducing the error, save the generated trace files S.DCTRAC.* with /DCDIAG DCM.,MODE=CLOSE or submit the diagnostic information to main memory with /DCDIAG DCM.
