Is arjesd uses any checkpointing ?

[zancanaro]

Hi all,
Is arjesd uses any checkpointing   ?

We use  PSF/Download to send (rarely) heavies outputs (3Go each) from our Z/OS JES2 V 1.11  toward  an AIX 5.3.0   &  CM/OD 8.3.(7.1.0.3).
All these heavy transferts abort (not the others);
1) just after the error JES2 displays for the PSF printer results like that :
$HASP603 PRT50     UNIT=,STATUS=ACTIVE,(JOB29570 ?tototo06), 
$HASP603           138354(350452) PAGES,BURST=NO,CKPTLINE=0,
$HASP603           CKPTMODE=PAGE,CKPTPAGE=100,CKPTSEC=30,   
$HASP603           CREATOR=,DEVFCB=,DEVFLASH=****,FCB=****, 
$HASP603           FORMS=(STD,,,,,,,),FSS=ARCH2,HONORTRC=YES,
2) After restart of the same prt, we see :
$HASP603 PRT50     UNIT=,STATUS=ACTIVE,(JOB29570 ?tototo06), 
$HASP603           350451(350452) PAGES,BURST=NO,CKPTLINE=0,
$HASP603           CKPTMODE=PAGE,CKPTPAGE=100,CKPTSEC=30,   
$HASP603           CREATOR=,DEVFCB=,DEVFLASH=****,FCB=****, 
$HASP603           FORMS=(STD,,,,,,,),FSS=ARCH2,HONORTRC=YES
So, each restart restarts from First line of the output
On AIX,  no file written,even first part,  no error recorded (errpt, etc).
How can I see any aix / arsjesd problems in this case, please ?
Bests regards & thanks for advices,
Stephane.

zancanaro - that is a really, really old level of CMOD.

It looks like the following is the problem which was reported against he 7.1.2.3 level:

APAR PK06265  ARSJESD FAILS TO RECEIVE FILES GREATER THEN 2 GIGABYTES

ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                               
Using MVS Download and arsjesd to transfer large files will fail
when the file being transmitted is larger then 2 gigabytes. When
MVS Download is finished transmitting the file, it will send the
final count of bytes sent. Arsjesd will compare MVS Download's   
count with its own and fail at this point.                       
                                                                 
LOCAL FIX:                                                       
Break the current 2 gigabyte or greater file into smaller       
pieces and transmit through MVS Download and arsjesd. Once on   
the OnDemand server, concatenate the files.                     
                                                                 
Also, customer can FTP files onto the OnDemand server.          


My recommendation is to install a current, supported level of CMOD and use that arsjesd.

Thanks , Ed.

We project to update our jurassic version of CMOD at 3rd quarter of 2013.

We just did the migration of our instances from 7.1.0.3 to a 9 version  ( with a db2 in v.9  ;D ) .
A test with same file is OK now.
Thanks Ed.
