From my Thunderbird email folder, below.
You said: "Security patches on zOS are infrequent. If serious, I get red
alerts on them."
Peter said: "While red alerts can be good, they do not provide
information on Security/Integrity apars that have been generated."
You then responded as if you were continuing the argument. My mistake
of course because I can't keep up.
Glossary: patches on zOS = APAR/PTF
===========================================================
I get daily notifications from IBM on a number of topics. zOS, MQ, DB2,
CICS hardware & software. Red alerts are infrequent.
AWS was down AGAIN today. Third time this month. More outages than I’ve
had in 20 years on the MF.

Thanks.

Bill,
While red alerts can be good, they do not provide information on
Security/Integrity apars that have been generated. To get those, you
have be subscribed to the IBM Z Security Portal portion of Resource Link.

> You’re thinking about $MSFT which pushes out security patches
sometimes weekly and certainly monthly. And is hacked easily and almost
every day. Many of them ransom attacks. Security patches on zOS are
infrequent. If serious, I get red alerts on them. (Red alerts are for
more than just security) Then there is the monthly RSU maintenance that
can be perused for security issues and determined as relevant or not for
each shop.

His response was to my post which did not mention APARs. Try to keep up.

So your argumentative response to Peter's note about APARs was totally
unrelated to Peter's note about APARs. Got it.

But, I knew it was a gotcha attempt. Just like Metz.

That's not an APAR. Merely an announcement...
