Looking for help to remove the password from CV's batch startup JCL

    Looking for help to remove the password from the CV's batch startup JCL.  This shop is still using IDMS 16.0 and only the signon security is externally managed by TopSecret.  An attempt was made to switch the CV startup from batch to a started task, but then IDMS failed with a 3994 abend code.  The senior DBA resigned with no transfer of knowledge and now I've been asked to eliminate this security issue.  I've been away from IDMS for several years and have very little experience working with the system / security components of IDMS.  My IDMS experience of several year is with the database design, performance and maintenance.  My search for information has been unsuccessful.  Your guidance will be gratefully appreciated.

    When I look up a 3994 – it says the region is too small – try increasing the region= on the EXEC card and see what happens (make it 0M to test, and then bring it down to something your systems folks can live with)

    Chris, Thanks I'll try that. The message that came with the abend indicated something to do with "TIME". So, I added =1440 to JCL and it still failed.

    Posting the entire output from the offending startup would allow the best opportunity for resolution

    Thank-you!  Adding REGION=0M resolved this issue.

    This is what I found.  I'm still working out access issues, if this isn't enough, I'll recreate it.  The guy who resigned didn't know how to resolve it and left me with little info, but the Security group is pushing me to get this done.

     

    IAT4401  LOCATE FOR STEP=IDMSDC95 DD=PLOGJOB  DSN=SYS1.JES.PROCLIB

    IAT4402 UNIT=3390    ,VOL(S)=2JES20

    IAT4401  LOCATE FOR STEP=IDMSDC95 DD=AJNLJOB  DSN=SYS1.JES.PROCLIB

    IAT4402 UNIT=3390    ,VOL(S)=2JES20

    IEF695I START CV95     WITH JOBNAME CV95     IS ASSIGNED TO USER P39PIDM

    IEF403I CV95 - STARTED - TIME=09.22.26

    IEA995I SYMPTOM DUMP OUTPUT

       USER COMPLETION CODE=3994

      TIME=09.22.26  SEQ=01624  CPU=0000  ASID=0094

      PSW AT TIME OF ERROR  074D1000   8000C63A  ILC 2  INTC 0D

        ACTIVE LOAD MODULE           ADDRESS=00007A18  OFFSET=00004C22

        NAME=IDMSDC95

     

    It ABENDS with a “S0000 U3994”

      THE TOTIME= VALUE SPECIFIED WAS INVALID

      Reason:

      This informational message indicates that an invalid time of day was specified as the value for TOTIME.

      Note: For more information about the parameter TOTIME, see FROMTIME=time,TOTIME=time in the section SET Command Syntax in the User Guide.

    Moments ago, I got the access issue to this JCL resolved.  There may yet be other access issues to resolve.

    Jennifer, did you resolve this by adding the REGION= to the EXEC card? Chris's suggestion seems to be the correct solution to this. If so you should mark his answer as correct.

    Edward,

     

    Sorry, I'm not trying to make excuses, but I have a production issue which has taken my attention until today.  Even though it was requested that my access to mirror the previous DBA, I still encountering access problems.

     

    I found the job to execute the IDMS CV program already has REGION=0M (see below).  I attempted to recreate and capture more information on the abend, but once again I've encountered another access issue.  It should be resolved soon.

     

    Please advise, is it appropriate to keep this thread open until I get the abend recreated?

    It's OK to leave the thread open. I just wanted to see if you needed any more help. I can see the REGION parm in the jobcard but when you start IDMS as a started task there is no jobcard, you need to put the REGION parm in the EXEC statement. Try that.

    Thank-you I will try that. ☺
