So, I finally got around to downloading the presentation that Skip mentioned here and took a peek. Looks similar to the dog and pony that IBM gave to us. My architects keep pounding on me that they just want to use the IBM supplied vanilla copy of the z/OS image, and the DB2 that comes with that. Is that even possible? What ID's besides IBMUSER are even on this environment? The problem is I have no knowledge of how any of this works, and I've been pushing back that I *thought* we'd have to at least integrate our security (CA-TSS) into that environment, etc. But as soon as that occurs, then nothing else in the IBM supplied distro will even start?
Maybe I'm making a mountain out of a molehill here and over complicating things. They just want a throwaway vanilla environment. I feel like they think this is a simple "lets stand up a Linux or Windows" and let them play. I admittedly do not yet see how the vanilla port can just work for me. And what scares me is the amount of additional customization I will have to build into this to simply make it work for us. Any more feedback on this would be helpful. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Manager Mainframe Engineering, Assistant Vice President david.jou...@53.com 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB2H p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.2717 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Jesse 1 Robinson Sent: Monday, January 15, 2018 7:44 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: IBM ZD&T The Southern California Z User Group held its quarterly meeting this week at Pacific Life Insurance Company in Newport Beach. As usual, we featured two topics, one of which happened to be zD&T. The presentation pdf is now available. Since this is an IBM sponsored group, the presentation should be valuable to all customers. I hope it will answer some of the questions in this thread. If nothing else, you will have an expert contact. https://ibm.box.com/s/g2kubb58gbzhweeif0x70vm634rnqsqq . .
