Way to parse words TB. Just like Metz. Security warnings which will require 
some sort of fix.

 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.

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.

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.
