摘要:
A method of correcting job control language (JCL) jobs scans a JCL job against a set of JCL syntax rules. The method automatically corrects any syntax errors discovered during the scanning, thereby forming a corrected JCL job. The method then runs the corrected JCL job. If the corrected JCL ends abnormally due to an execution error, the method then automatically determines if the execution error is recoverable. If the execution error is recoverable, the method automatically corrects the recoverable error to form a recovered corrected JCL job. The method reruns the recovered corrected JCL job.

A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for managing an integrated catalog facility (ICF) catalog. An ICF catalog is monitored by a contention detection module. Information related to a detected catalog resource contention is used by the contention detection module to generate a contention event. Information related to the contention event is then provided to a contention resolution module, which uses the information to perform a contention resolution operation. Once the resolution operation has been performed, contention events and contention resolution operations are reported by a contention reporting module.

When a VTOC and a VVDS are established for information used to access data sets of a volume, unused space remains in both structures. The data sets, VTOC and VVDS are stored on a recordable medium. For VSAM data sets, other, vital information about the data set is also stored in the VTOC; for non-VSAM data sets, vital information about the data set is also stored in the VVDS. If the VOTC entry of a non-VSAM data set becomes corrupted, the vital information in the VVDS may be used to access the stored data set. Similarly, If the VVDS entry of a VSAM data set becomes corrupted, the vital information in the VTOC may be used to access the stored data set.

A method of providing maintenance for a software program residing on a customer's computer system enables a customer to easily determine if there are any available updates for the software program, whether the available updates, if any, have been downloaded, which updates, if any, have been installed, and which installed updates, if any, have been activated. The method includes searching an active storage area on the customer's computer system while the software program is executing to determine the particular version of the software program. The method further includes searching a database of a software provider that provided the software program to determine if there is any update available for the software program, and if any update is available, downloading the update to the customer's computer system and installing the update.

A method, apparatus, and computer program product for optimizing the organization of volume records stored in a volume record data set is disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, a method may include monitoring a volume comprising multiple data sets. Each data set may have associated therewith a volume record stored in a volume record data set. The method may further include tracking read and write operations to each of the data sets over a period of time. A count value may be stored in the volume record of each data set. The count value may be increased each time a read operation is performed to the associated data set. The count value may be decreased each time a write operation is performed to the associated data set. The volume records in the volume record data set may then be reorganized according to the size of the count values.

A method for optimizing a plurality of volume records stored in cache may include monitoring a volume including multiple data sets, wherein each data set is associated with a volume record, and each volume record is stored in a volume record data set. The method may include tracking read and write operations to each of the data sets over a period of time. The method may further include reorganizing the volume records in the volume record data set such that volume records for data sets with a larger number of read operations relative to write operations are grouped together, and volume records for data sets with a smaller number of read operations relative to write operation are grouped together. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed.

A method for reorganizing a catalog to improve I/O performance includes initially placing a shared lock on a source catalog. The method then makes a point-in-time copy of the source catalog to generate a target catalog. Once the target catalog is generated, the method reorganizes the contents of the target catalog. Optionally, while reorganizing the contents of the target catalog, the method temporarily releases the shared lock on the source catalog and mirrors I/O intended for the source catalog to a buffer. The buffered I/O may then be used to update the target catalog to bring it current with the source catalog. When the target catalog is reorganized and up-to-date, the method upgrades the shared lock on the source catalog to an exclusive lock, overwrites the source catalog with the target catalog, and releases the exclusive lock. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed and claimed herein.
