MAINFRAME
Def: high end server also called as
big iron Features: 1. Before 750 MIPS now 8000 MIPS 2. Storage & retrieval is faster 3. Zero down time 4. High security (virus cant be uploaded) 5. We can startup & shutdown LPAR individually is called IPL. Processing: (executing a job or a program) 1. Batch Processing: No interaction b/w u & ur System. JCL will ctrl the job. JES acts as a OS for JCL. 2. Online Processing: There is an interaction b/w u & ur system e.g: CICS.

DASD (DIRECT ACCESS STORAGE DEVICE)

DASD a storage where we store our datas in dataset Types: DS6000, DS8000 Units: 3380, 3390(new) DASD is segregated into Disk (depends on DASD) is segregated into Volumes (1v=800c) is segregated into To create volumes in empty DASDCylinders (1c=15t) is segregated into ICKDSF Tracks (1t=47 or 56 kb) is segregated into Blocks (1b=4kb)

Virtual Storage: False memory One of our volume in DASD Used to increase execution speed Frequently used datasets are stored here with the help of PSW (Pgrm Status Word)

ABEND CODES 1 S0C4 Caused by the subscript being out of range 2 S0C5 Caused by invalid address specification. I.e. The address points to an instruction, control word or data outside the available real storage 3 S0C7 Caused by a bad data. i.e. Data exception. When we are moving an alphanumeric field to a numeric computational field this Abend occurs. The result is an Abend failure 4 S222 Caused by a job being cancelled by the operator, due to a request by the program for an unavailable resource. 5 S237 Caused by end of volume being encountered. 6 S322 Caused when CPU time assigned to the job, job step, or procedure has been exceeded. i.e. Time out error. 7 S413 This abend occurs if the DD statement referenced by UNIT=AFF statement is not closed before the DD statement that comes before it. 8 S522 Caused when a wait state exceeds an installation-defined time limit. 9 SB37 Caused by lack of sufficient Secondary space

(INITIAL PROGRAM LOAD)

IPL

DEF: 1.

Loading part of os from DASD to Real storage through virtual storage with the help of psw. 2. Startup and shutdown of LPAR 3. According to our req we must customize our parmlib member & it must be read during IPLing 4. Initialize the registers to zero to avoid wastage of resources.

Phases of IPL: (Each & every phase invokes next phase)

Types of starts: 1. Cold start:(compared to initial start) Load or reload PLPA but doesnt preserve VIO dataset 2. Quick start: ( restart ) Doesnt reload PLPA & doesnt preserve VIO dataset 3. Warm start: (normal start) Preserves VIO dataset only (Startup & shutdown must be in normal form)

HARDWARE PHASE: SYSRES (or) IPL ABLE disk (it is a DASD volume where our OS is stored in SYS1.NUCLEUS) It contains BOOTSTRAP module at cyl0, Trk0 Reads IPL CTRL PGRM IEAIPL00 & passes control to it IRIM PHASE: (IPL resource initialization module) It makes environment ready to load OS to Real

SYSCTRL FRAME
LOAD ADDRESS: used to specify system resident volume serial no which is of 4 characters. Reads LOAD PARM & hunt for LOADXX LOAD PARM:(available in SYSCTRL FRAME) IODF dddd (must) LOAD XX xx IMSI i NUCX n Input output definition file Device no of volume containing IODF Dataset(default is SYSRES) Initial message suppression indicator (optional) ID of LOADXX member to be used(default is LOAD00) Alternate nucleus id (default is 1:IEANUC01)

NIP (nucleus initialization program) Our actual OS is loaded with the help of MVSCP (contains s/w details) MSI(master scheduler initialization) It generates address space for subsystem by placing address on that space we can run our subsystem SUBSYSTEM

Once MSI is initialized subsystem can be started (in batch processing we cant run any program without JES so, JES is our primary subsystem)
