Re: Current market share breakdown for EACH of the three z/OS ESM products: RACF, CA-ACF2 and CA-Top Secret
No surprise. I've done such RACF to TSS conversion myself due to a bank merge with our own tools.

Subject: Problem with 'DB2-REXX via JCL'.
From: mail.gauravbhatna...@gmail.com
I have a REXX-DB2 program that uses the DSNREXX program to connect with
the DB2 subsystem and fetches some records from a table.
THe problem now is that when i run this rexx directly as a standalone, it
works like a charm and returns the results.
Whereas, when i run this through a JCL call (Using IKJEFT01), it fails
with a RC=20 on the DSNREXX add step as follows:
ADDRESS TSO SUBCOM DSNREXX
IF RC THEN
S_RC = RXSUBCOM('ADD','DSNREXX','DSNREXX')THIS STEP FAILS WITH RC =
20
ADDRESS DSNREXX CONNECT DBXX RC = (-3)
I am unable to keep my finger on the problem. Can anyone help with this?

There are no edits or changes needed, so I just issue a TSO SUBMIT

However, the users are annoyed with the ...SUBMITTED message and the

Re: IND$FILE Resource Log Monitoring
the way i would protect IND$FILE is by naming a rexx that name. The rexx will parse the variables, do what you want to do with (check the user has the appropriate platform move authority, report, etc) and then call (the renamed) IND%FILE. FTP has exit points (and products that uses them to protect FTP server side (Z/OS). haven;t look at the ISPF client, but am sure there is a mechanism to protect platform movements and data leakage in general.

Re: Economics of Mainframe Technology
so what are you saying? those IT managers that cut the mainframe market by 50%+ in few years by migration to WUL platforms didn't know to calculate? The numbers in the webcast can be explained. There is a high-cost entry level to the mainframe market, which only those who are already there (or are part of sectors like finance) can afford that starting price. my view of the mainframe market is that the maker is a bit problematic. they removed all competition from the hardware market, and you can see they are now doing the same in the software market. So my point is that customers do not want to be captured by a single, Strong and monopolist supplier. There is not to say mainframe is bad. This is a grate technology (even that the new z113 machine implements technology that is implemented in Intel chips for years ;-)). The only thing that I am saying is the play with the rules. and the rules to downsize mainframe budget is to move to Java on the mainframe. this is an internal migration that keeps all mainframe goodies, but cutting the costs to minimum. My recommondation to my customers is stay mainframe, Enjoy the pros, reject the cons by playing in the new rules. use the rules (Java, New workload licensing, DB2 usage with JDBC, etc.) The sad news is that the mainframe is here to stay, it is just us that get old...

Title: The Surprising Economics of Mainframe Technology Date: March 19 Time: 11:00 a.m. ET Duration: 60 minutes [...] On the webcast, he will be speaking to the following findings: o While computing power has doubled over the last five years, server-heavy organizations’ costs have gone up 63% more than mainframe-heavy organizations. o For every $1 that’s spent on infrastructure costs, Mainframe organizations earn $10.55 while server-heavy organizations earn only $8.22. o Analysis across 15 industries shows that the average IT cost of goods is 35% (on average) less for mainframe-heavy organizations, with the greatest differences in the financial sector.

I thought of using SMP/E UNLOAD to build the UCLIN that would then be fed into the new CSI, but that doesn't work with the GLOBAL zone, and doesn't include DDDEFs or LMOD entries. What is the proper process to accomplish this? The SMP/E BUILDMCS command is your friend, to create a FUNCTION SYSMOD (for COBOL 4.2) with all the installed service integrated into the package. You then RECEIVE and APPLY this creation into your new and separate CSI. For the Global zone, check out the GZONEMERGE FORFMID command.

The table module's linked command includes an INCLUDE for each of the required exit modules, which I thought was how SMP/E knew to monitor those modules for change and perform the relink should any one of them change.

Re: Security exposure of zXXP was Re: zIIP simulation

WLM is the part of z/os that schedules the TCB/SRB to the a proccessor and there is a know-how to do this, and indead requires deep knowledge of mvs interfaces and assembler coding. THe SRBs scheduled on the zIIP (using IBM's supplied interfaces) are running in the same address space, so it minimize the risk. SRB mode is also disabled for IO, so you can't infect other libraries / files like a virus.

By making zIIP so cheap, IBM and customers are strongly encouraging us to offload as much work as possible onto zIIP. Products that never needed APF authorization may be forced to become APF authorized. Some of our code that we ran in unauthorized tasks will probably move to SRB's. JAVA is a good example. IBM created zAAP on zIIP in z/OS 1.11. I believe that zAAP is accessed through a TCB which is not running authorized. With zAAP on zIIP, they must be using SRB's. Some of that JAVA program must be running in SRB mode (unless only interpretation occurs on the zIIP and execution is in the TCB)..

SRBs are the same level of security exposure that APF-authorized tasks are. So if an application is already APF-authorized, switching to enclave SRBs is not intrinsically more of a security exposure than already existed. It is true that SRBs are more likely to tend to be key 0 than authorized tasks, but that is not a security exposure. That is a greater potential for screwing up a system due to overlay of something critical exposure. Is the code that runs under the ZIP and ZAP process code that normally run without any privileges in a problem state? Only if the perpetrator is irresponsible. It is far from unheard of to have to take an application written to be unauthorized and make it authorized.

Re: comparing binary file
John, Sort, at least on distibuted platforms, enables you to compare in a JOIN like syntax where you can decide to keep OUTER (of the join) only. If all records are duplicated, you'll get an empty file. else you'll get 1 or more records in the outer condition. So, if the files goes to Unix, sort can help.

Re: FW: mainframe selling points -- Start up Costs
I would like to return to the selling point issue. I stated that there are many technologies that run better outside the mainframe like Cobol and sort.

Depends on your definition of deep. Last I checked it was $500/month for fully-supported remote development out of Dallas. - Let's play devil's advocate. You have decided that you want to develop a product for z/OS. If you do not develop it in Java, or c/C++, then how do you do your development in your own sandbox? This, so that you only need, perhaps six months of fixing the rough spots on an actual z/OS system. You can't get CICS in a Herc environment running MVS 3.8J (O now?). Let's say that you have FJ COBOL. So you set the options to be for COBOL-II. Now you do all your development that you can. But wait, you need ISPF at a minimum to drive terminals. Can't do that on a Herc system. Come to think of it, FJ COBOL will not generate for the Herc environment. So that option is gone too. One programmer, who has roughed out a system, using VSAM or DB2, has, for the sake of argument, 2-3 man years of coding to do with debugging. So we will say 3 to include documenting and testing. US$500 * 12 * 3 = US$19,500Just for the system out of Dallas. What will be the cost of documenting your software, and who will do it at what cost? (manual printing or CD/DVD commercial quality stuff). How much do you have to have in pocket to handle 3 years of start up expenses? Would that be somewhere around $200K? Now, you need a paying client. What are your costs to get that first client and get them to production and you into maint mode and not development? How many clients do you need before you are covering your ongoing US$500/mo. and all of your start up costs, so that you have a positive cash flow? Using your own home systems, how long does it take you to develop something in c/C++ .net, Java, etc. and be able to sell it? For a one man startup, $200K is a lot of money. BTDT.

Re: mainframe selling points
I don't think that the writer of the document (Dr. Rubin) compares apples to apples. IBM mainframe does not operate the network (DNS, DHCP, AD, email servers and many other base services). there are some tens of servers that has no comparable service in the mainframe world. The mainframe, from this point of view, is just another server, and the comparison should compare mainframe applications vs alternatives (re-hosting, rewrite), or the other hand - moving a server application into the mainframe. There are many questions to be asked about IBM marketing strategy, most has been asked in this thread. Have you even thought why does Cobol program runs much faster on wintel then a mainframe? Why is sorting much efficient on wintel? I am sure most CEOs knows what their spending is, and where the budgert goes. And at end, if they could begin from scratch, i am sure most of them wouldn't select mainframe as their platform of computing. would you?

Re: Disabling interrupt and trace for Rexx execs
I don't care that the user will look at the program logic. He is not authorized to execute some of the commands in the program.

Disabling interrupt and trace for Rexx execs
We have a rexx exec that performs functionality we don't want to be interrupted or traced in any way. this mean that we need to disable the functions keys that might return control to the user, such as the Attention, PA1, PA2 keys. We play to write a small program that will call the TSO macros STATTN and STTMPMD to disable CLEAR, ATTENTION and PA1 keys. Any alternatives that can be performed in the REXX exec itself?

Re: Disabling interrupt and trace for Rexx execs

If you want to prevent interruptions, the stand way is to issue an ENQ with the (authorized) System Must Complete (SMC) option. That also affects other tasks running on the system. If you only wish to lock out the user, than TSO services may suffice. I know of no way to prevent tracing. Any alternatives that can be performed in the REXX exec itself? Will the assembler program disable the keys for the entire session? Not in REXX that I know of, and the effect may or may not last, depending on what programs are invoked - in much of my code, I set keys explicitly. If you really wish to control user interaction, the next best thing might be to keep your code resident, and attach user commands, rather than returning to TSO.

Re: z/OS SYSLOG - why not let everybody read?
SYSLOG tells a lot about identities running in your system, and more specific, those who are assigned to STCs and the way they get it (STARTED class, ICHRIN03) and why. Assume that you allow STCs to run under the identity of a user with same name. It is easy to collect this information from IRR814I and IEF695I messages. Another issue is collecting information about how the system is configured (STCs that are running under the MSTR that writes to SYSLOG).
