I know it's uncharitable, and if I had the assembler skills, resources, and motivation, I'd attempt repairs instead of complaining. But I noticed: o The distribution includes a C program, "STRIPPAD.c" to deal with a problem that the last block is sometimes incorrectly terminated. This would better be incorporated into the mainline code rather than in a separate utility. o There's a data areas macro that appears as a PDS member, and again instream in the program that calls it; a hazard to orderly maintenance. My assembler skill is sufficient that I was able to replace the inline with a COPY from SYSLIB with no apparent ill effects. o The "strippad" problem might be fixed with support for RECFM=VB output -- no padding, then. But here my assembler skills are insufficient. o I'd like to be able to write/read UNIX files directly. There might be no obstacle; DD PATH= might suffice; I haven't tried it. But I'd prefer to have RECFM=VB before the attempt. And my failure in motivation arises because our recipient, unlike Gadi's is not crying out for AWSTAPE -- I'd need to sell them on the idea, and motivate them ($$ -- they're a contractor, not a customer) to convert to ASWTAPE format. Too many obstacles; I can't justify it internally. An alternative might be the CMS PIPELINES BLOCK ASWTAPE stage. My pipedream would be a subsystem that would mount AWSTAPE archives directly, instead of copying them to physical tapes.

Re: Newbie RACROUTE question: how to *test* authorization?
One major difference. In CICS, the query security is for a subset of RACF information, and is already running in the proper environment, ie CICS, and is using the logged on userid's ACEE. You cannot issue a query security to see if another user has the authority, and you also cannot check for access to non-CICS resources. Because of things like PADS or WHEN() processing, it is hard to guarantee that you can get the same answer if the environment is different.

Re: SPAM: Re: RACF callable service to check (new) password
--- RACF itself has practically all the functionality built-in that you are looking for.

No need for a homegrown application ... --- This is quite correct. If more restrictive password rules are desired, you can also write a password validation exit, wherein you can impose any other rules you like.

ZPDFSEND - An application that converts a z/OS FCFC print file to a PDF file and emails the PDF file http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/TD104449 Abstract: This Techdoc provides two Java programs and sample JCL to run the programs using the JZOS Java batch launcher. The first program, Zpdf.java, converts ANS FCFC (American National Standard first-character forms-control) print files to PDF files. The second program, Zmail.java, emails a USS file (such as the PDF file created by Zpdf.java) using SMTP. The two Java programs can be used together or independently. The ZPDFSEND file contains a batch job that runs the Zpdf and Zmail programs using the JZOS batch launcher. As with any Java program running on a z/OS system, Zpdf.java and Zmail.java will run on a zAAP processor if one is present on the system Aaron -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Portmap start task
All, Has anybody run into an issue with the portmap started task running in a default service class rather than sysstc like tcpip? We use STK (SUN) HSC and libstation and have had some odd things happening with our Veritas system. We have found that there will be a number (20-30) connections in TCPIP left for long periods of time all pointing back to the Veritas environment. We can drop the connections and things will clear up. Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: Newbie RACROUTE question: how to *test* authorization?
- Following extracted from the CICS/TS RACF Security Guide: "2.7.6.2 Checking which transactions to offer a user You can use the QUERY SECURITY command to check whether a user is authorized to use a particular transaction before displaying the transaction code as part of an introductory menu. When you use the command for this purpose, you will probably want to avoid logging the checks for users who are not allowed to use certain transactions. To do this, use the NOLOG option." ...and the QUERY SECURITY command invokes a RACROUTE to perform this function. So CICS is documenting use of preemptive RACROUTE requests as reasonable design in presenting usable options on a user's menu. - IIRC, under this particular set of circumstances, RACROUTE will do the equivalent of a FRACHECK, which does no logging. Has to do with the resource definitions for CICS transactions. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

That's what I thought you were suggesting in your first post in this thread, and it comes as a surprise to me. It means that LLA is not simply managing data sets, as I thought I understood it to do. Rather, it must be managing data sets within linklist sets. As a result, if SYS1.USERLINK is in the LNKLST and I replace a module in it, then create and activate a new linklist set, any new address space referencing that module through the LNKLST will get the new module by virtue of using the new LNKLST. Still, a long running job will continue to get the old copy of the module because it is using the old LNKLST. AFAIK, there is no way for me to tell that this is happening. D LLA does not tell me which LNKLST a library is associated with. When issuing F LLA,UPDATE, to remove a data set from LLA management, there is no way to selectively remove only the one for a particular LNKLST set. Nevertheless, I tested and found that it does behave as you've described. On our sandbox system, I defined a new LNKLST set with my load library at the top. The program that I used to test was SHOWMVS, because I have a couple of releases around and can easily tell which I am running. When I activated the LNKLST, and logged off and back on, I got the module from my library as expected. I then replaced that module with a different release of SHOWMVS, copied the LNKLST set and activated it. I verified that my current TSO session was still picking up the old copy, as expected, then logged off and on again so that I'd be using the new LNKLST set. This time I got the new copy of the module, just as you have described. In these tests, I did not go to additional extents, nor did I want to. Certainly, it sounds safer to define and activate a new LNKLST set when updating a LNKLST library than to perform a REFRESH or UPDATE.

RACF callable service to check (new) password
Dear MVS Team main: RACF sub: password verification Hi - i am looking for a callable service to verify a new password against the currntly given RACF-roules without a valid userid. My company would change the administation of users. They take a lot of $ to administrate users of their system. To reduce the costs and to use the affort of RACF, i am looking for a callable (COBOL) service, to verify the new password in the rules of RACF. We use CICS with a self made login panel. To restrickt the new password, we use a VSAM-dataset for the last ?? passwords - MD5 hashes - for new passwords we want to delete such formats like keyboard repeats: i.e. asdfg or sdfgh and words like: may, jun and any more. RACF does this simple check, but nowadays my only knowlage is, that i must have a real, RACF-defined userid. Can i use the RACF-rules for new passwords without to have a RACF-defined userid? thank you for your help einen schoenen Tag Andreas Lerch -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: ACF2 vs RACF
Jim, Are you saying that the job sent from system C (ACF2) contains USER= and PASSWORD= in the jobcard, followed by a "/*XEQ SYSF" card (or whatever your System F is named)? The "SUBMITTER()" in the ICH408I message leads me to believe that either JES2/NJE or ACF2 do not pass the userID and password to the RACF system. Search the JES2/NJE configuration manuals and ACF2 manuals under the buzzword "NJE password inheritance". Perhaps a quick call to CA-ACF2 Support might help you find the solution. I know, it's got something to do with "which system validates the password" and how NJE sends that information across.

Re: Batch job to perform sftp transfer
To execute sftp on z/OS using USS, you will need to install IBM Ported Tools. This is a no cost feature available on the IBM website http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/unix/port_tools.html The ssh daemon has to be running. I have recently set this up at our shop. sftp itself will not work under OMVS just as ssh won't. These are open source commands, not TSO/OMVS. Therefore, sftp does not (and should not if it is to remain open source) recognize MVS data set structures. You can use sftp in batch but you need extra steps. First you copy the data, the commands, then execute the transfer with those 2 files.

Since there's only one, all of them. :) If you go back and do some Google searches, you'll likely find the various stories of how IBM got involved with open source software to start with. To summarize, they decided it was silly to continue to develop/maintain an IBM web server when Apache was already being used by 60% of the world. The Apache license allows you to take their source, modify it, and turn around and license the package for profit, which is what they've done. They think of it as their mods adding value to the whole package, making it worth people paying for. I assume this is in addition to the customers' building pure Apache for z/OS. Right. The IBM HTTP Server for z/OS (current version is 5.3) that comes with z/OS is definitely not Apache based. Its basis is the old CERN web server. Just look at the httpd.conf file format and you will see. I've been told by reliable IBM sources that an IBM port of the Apache web server is delivered with WebSphere Application Server V.6. I'd like to know if that one can be obtained/installed without WAS but I Haven't been able to find reliable information about that. In any case, WAS is big enough that a little web server such as Apache can hide within it :-) And, of course, WAS is not only J2EE, that's only the business logic part of WAS.

I think it's important to note that it is not just the doc that prompts customers to find alternate products.

Re: 256 bytes again
In a message dated 2/25/2008 1:52:25 A.M. Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: >No. First - when you calculate number of blocks, you have to take into consideration many physical aspects of data storing, like Count field, gaps, data cell size, data cell existence, track size, R0, etc. I don't know TRKALC The hardware engineers who invent the new type of disk track, decide what its length will be, determine the size of the various gaps, produce the control unit microcode to implement and enforce these decisions, etc., provide a set of constants that can be plugged into generic formulas that are used by TRKCALC to calculate the effective size on the track of a new "record" (also called "block" by some) on that track and/or how many exactly like that will fit on the track. These constants are made available to the operating system by returning them in response to the Read Device Characteristics CCW command code, and the format of these constants is documented in the various control unit reference books. The operating system reads the device characteristics data when a DASD device is varied online. Also some of these constants are stored in the Format 4 DSCB (keyed record overhead, e.g.). The Format 4 DSCB also contains the number of DSCBs per track and the number of PDS directory blocks per track. These two values were computed based on the constants found in the device characteristics data. Typically, programmers do not need to concern themselves with these constants nor with the formulas for computing the effective size on the track of a block with key length X and data length Y. The formula has grown increasingly convoluted (my opinion) over the years as new device types have been devised. All a programmer usually needs to do is to set up the parameter list correctly and invoke the TRKCALC service. One way to see how many directory blocks fit on a track is to dump the Format 4 DSCB with AMASPZAP. Another way is to allocate a PDS with a large number of directory blocks and do an AMASPZAP dump of the first few tracks of the data set. You can then vary downwards the number of directory blocks to be allocated and see if there is also room on the track for an EOF record after the end of the directory or not, if you are interested in that. The bottom line is that a PDS directory block has had a constant key length of 8 and data area of 256 since day one of Version 1 of OS/360 back in the mid-1960s. The only variable has been how many fit on a track of each different DASD device type. The guy who precipitated all this extra discussion was trying to get the thread oriented to remembering that the key length must be considered when determining how many blocks will fit on the track. At least I think that was his intent. I also don't think that the thread had gone astray in that area, so I believe that this whole extra detailed discussion has been unnecessary and a molehill has been turned into a Mount Everest. The fact that two different IBM books describe the same entity or concept with slightly different terms does not necessarily mean that either of the books is incorrect. It means that they were written by different people, or perhaps by the same person at different times. Hardware-oriented people typically speak of a CKD thing that is recorded on a DASD track as a "record", whereas software-oriented people typically speak of that same thing as a "block". The term "block size" might be used by some in certain contexts to mean only the length of the data field of the CKD thing, or it might be used by some other people (or even by those same people in a different context) to mean the effective size on the track of the entire CKD thing, which would include the count field, the gap after the count field, the key field (if any), the gap after the key field (only present if there is a key field), the data field (if any), and the gap after the data field. So you are correct that the "block size" is 256. And that guy is also correct in saying that the "block size" is not 256. Both of you were thinking of different contexts when using the words "block" and "size". The "Using Data Sets" book says "PDS member entries ... are blocked into 256-byte blocks." If that is the only context you care about, then the block size is 256. But on that same page in the book is a diagram showing that the "PDS Directory Block" (the title of the diagram) has a count field and also an 8-byte key. So, according to this diagram, the key is part of the directory "block". When you allocate a new PDS, you specify the number of directory "blocks", and each such block, when written on the track, has an 8-byte key field in it. The term "block size" is used throughout many IBM books to mean only the length of the data field of a DASD CKD thing. But underlying all allo
