Well, my excitement was short-lived.....In the text of OA56180 I read: Note: This APAR only applies to user key CSA storage. Both user key (8-15) SCOPE=COMMON data spaces and the usage of the CHANGKEY service to change the storage key of common storage to a key of 8-15 are not affected by this APAR, and will no longer be supported after z/OS V2R3.
Sadly, this application is creating UserKey Common data space and using it as a high-perf "data base" within the application for their batch jobs. I've known about it since IBM enabled reporting via SMF30 records. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma AVP | Manager, Systems Engineering Fifth Third Bank | 1830 East Paris Ave, SE | MD RSCB2H | Grand Rapids, MI 49546 616.653.8429 | fax: 616.653.2717 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Vernooij, Kees (ITOP NM) - KLM Sent: Friday, August 30, 2019 7:02 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: z/OS 2.1 to 2.4 **CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL** **DO NOT open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails** It does, because 2.4 does not support userkeycsa(yes) anymore. It is also discussed in the 2.4 migration guide. It seems to me the feature will stay, because IBM has fulfilled its goal to block CSA from being used by unauthorized users with full read/write access. Now you must selectively permit userkey csa to users and it is now your responsibility.
