Good news for the plumbers who need to do TCP/IP connections secured with SSL/TLS. We're happy to tell that VM66365 has closed and PTF UM35658 and pre-req PTFs can be ordered for z/VM 7.1 now.
The APAR introduces * A new SECURE option on tcpclient and tcpdata to write TCP/IP client and server that use z/VM System SSL for secure connections. * A new built-in program FTP to read data from an FTP Server into the pipeline, or write data from the pipeline to an FTP Server. We also included the correction for a few known and unknown defects, and some minor enhancements. The revised level of the CMS Pipelines User's Guide and Reference documents the changes. https://www.vm.ibm.com/library/710pdfs/71625201.pdf Happy Plumbing, Sir Rob the Plumber
