IBM NEUTRAL ON PASSPORT VS. LIBERTY | News: ZDNet An IBM e-business executive says that IBM is not going to choose between Sun's Liberty and Microsoft's Passport authentication technologies, and says his company is still "neutral" even though Big Blue's alliances with Microsoft in the area of Web services is expanding. CA IN HOT WATER OVER PROFIT STATEMENTS | News: iSeries Network Last week, The New York Times reported that federal prosecutors in New York were looking into whether iSeries and mainframe software vendor CA deliberately overstated its profits to inflate its stock prices to the benefit of senior executives.

IBM HOLDS ITS OWN IN SERVER MARKET | News: CNET IBM took a bite out of Sun, Hewlett-Packard and Compaq in the 2001 server market according to a recent Gartner report. IBM has benefited from resurgent sales of its old-guard mainframe line, spurred in part by the new ability to run the Linux operating system. But demand for servers in general dried up, with companies worried about the recession and overcapacity left over from the Internet spending spree.

Recently we changed the addresses of our NT DNS servers and now cannot FTP to/from OS/390. Telnet works just fine still. We changed the NSINTERADDR value in TCPDATA to reflect the new DNS addresses, bounced TCP/IP, but still not able to FTP. "We could connect to the OS/390 FTP server prior to this and the only thing we can think is that we changed the DNS. Could there be some other answer?" >> CLICK for Mark Zelden's response: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid450513_tax287555,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= DISCUSSION FORUMS | Developer Search390 member ChuckTeasley posted the following in the Developer forum and needs your help: "We currently use TSO batch (IKJEFT01) to execute our DB2 batch programs and we want to introduce some MQSeries work into some of these batch processes. It is our understanding that we need to link-edit DSNRLI instead of DSNELI and execute the program via the EXEC PGM= convention instead of through IKJEFT01. When we do that we receive a -981 sqlcode. (The SQL statement failed because the RRSAF connection is not in a state that allows SQL operations.) What else do we need to do to take advantage of RRS in our batch environment so we can coordinate work performed by both DB2 and MQSeries?" Think you can answer ChuckTeasley's question? If so, please share your thoughts and suggestions.

The online trek service has brought the star back on board after a year-long break. Look for a whole new slew of radio and TV ads -- hopefully they'll be as entertaining as the unforgettable "Bust A Move" commercial from a couple of years ago. Shatner is no newcomer to interpreting popular music. There's a CD you can buy that features Shatner singing the Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" and the Byrds' "Mr. Tambourine Man." Beam me up -- please!
