SSL Timeout
Is there a parameter somewhere that will time-out an SSL connected TN3270 session? I've just converted our users from standard TN3270 sessions to SSL/TLS TN3270 sessions. All users are using PCOMM. After converting, one user has called me and says that he gets disconnected from the system after about 10 mins with a S622 (terminal error). Our TSO timeout in JWT is set to 1 hour. No other user was having this problem so I thought this was probably a coincidence since that user had tornadoes in his area and some damage to his home. So I had him revert to standard TELNET. 1 hour later he timed out with a S522 (TSO time-out value reached). I'm still convinced it's a network issue, but I don't have a leg to stand on.

Re: SSL Timeout
We had similar problems with one client using Zephyr's product PassPort. After doing a log of debugging we determined that it might be the firewall problem. It seemed the timing mark request was not getting thought so tcpip thought the connection was broke. That fixed the problem somewhat. We then found out that if the user did not have any activity the firewall would time them out. We could not get that changed so we had to shorten the scaninterval and timemark settings to force some activity to keep things alive. Things are now working to the best of my knowledge.

Re: Z/OS UNIX Security
I would tend to agree with most of the posters in regards to using the normal unix permission bits. If you are thinking about doing some sort of file sharing with non-z/OS system, then getting used to the unix permission bits is helpful. While at one time the default UID and default GID seemed like a good thing, I think it generates as many if not more problems than it solves. I am also in agreement with the poster indicating that the SAF HFS Security supplied by ACF2 could supply additional controls. It all depends on what your goal is. Personally, I stayed away from the SAF HFS Security to allow for the ease of converting to RACF (prior life) and because I didn't need the additional controls. As far as creating a record for everyone, tracking for the HFS useage is much better if you just go thru it. I am sure you probably already have a fairly stock setup for user creation. Just add the UID/GID assignment to it. You'll be better off in the long run. There is also the idea of auto-UID assignment in user ID creation as well as a auto-UID assignment that is more generic.

Each stack has two OSAs connected to it, with one running segmentation offlad and the other without it. It will be some time in JULY before I start segmentation offload on the second OSA.

JZOS Cookbook available on alphaWorks
A new JZOS Cookbook package is now available on alphaWorks, which might be of interest to those who would like to do Java development on z/OS. See: http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/zosjavabatchtk for more information. Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies === Introduction The JZOS Batch Launcher and Toolkit shipped with the IBM Java SDKs for z/OS is a suite of tools and APIs for z/OS Java. The JZOS Batch Launcher simplifies running Java applications in z/OS batch jobs, while the JZOS toolkit provides Java interfaces to z/OS datasets and system services. The approach in this cookbook is to use a simple, but non-trivial example application to demonstrate the following: • Development and testing of z/OS Java applications using Eclipse • Deployment to z/OS using Apache Ant • Running z/OS batch Java applications using the JZOS Launcher • Demonstrate how to use the following Java and z/OS programming interfaces: • SQL database access • Dataset access - sequential and VSAM • XML processing • Mapping COBOL described records to Java • Demonstrate the use of popular open source Java tools: • Spring framework • Apache Derby • Apache Commons Digester, Logging and BeanUtils • Apache Log4J • JUnit • Apache Ant • Provide complete source, packaged in an Eclipse project, which can be used as a template for new development. -- 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

RDz
Both officially and unofficially, MANY people have communicated to IBM that WSED, then WDz, then RDz are VERY poorly documented or marketed to those doing mainframe (or PC) development for the mainframe (or PC) but WITHOUT a z/OS connection. NOT speaking for IBM, it appears that the IBM internal business case is for this product (line) to be for sites with mainframes and mainframe connections. Everyone (that I have ever talked to) says it CAN be used for PC stand-alone development (for PC apps) or for mainframe apps - but that simply is NOT the target audience. You need to be aware that this is NOT just a marketing documentation issue. You will find the same problem (issue?) once you get the actual product documentation. Graham Hobbs [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Brian, Will contact you offline. Thanks. But while I'm online I will put out a small plea to IBM - all the websites about RDz are totally oriented to the big guns, the monied shops, the 'HOST'. Well I don't have a HOST. I'd really like to see just one site that deals with the guy who wants to run with the likes of RDz but just on a PC - what I would get for the $800, how much like my old mainframe world can I recreate.

T PROF(USER) DIV(OMVS) and cha user1 home(/u/user1) - Setup automount on omvs - Create a file auto.master in /etc with /u /etc/u/map - Create a file u.map in /etc with # # Automount Map File for /u # # name * type HFS filesystem uc_name.SYSNAME..HOME.HFS mode rdwr duration nolimit delay 360 allocany space(10,5) tracks maxvol(3) This should create HFS file for each user under their TSO ALIAS.

Re: STK-SUN-Brocade switch--2032 IOdef
I had a situation once in setting up a switch configuration where the activation went fine but I had one channel that would never come on line. What happened was at the remote site they had a mix of different FICON cables at the remote site. I had the remote site put matching cables and that fixed the problem. When you do a D M=DEVICE() what does that look like?

Did this configuration ever work? If not I would definitely revisit your switch and port values. I would also make sure things are really plugged in, etc. It would be easier if I could see your configuration, but below is a brief example... The switch domains are 60 (X'3C') and 160 (X'A0') and the ports are fc1/5 (X'04'), fc1/9 (X'08') and fc3/2 (X'41').

Re: STK-SUN-Brocade switch--2032 IOdef
Hi Ron, We have 4 Brocade ( previously McData ) 6064 switches. We have 2 switches installed at our primary z/OS host site and 2 switches installed at our D/R site. We have 'paired' the switches into 2 seperate 'fabrics' that use multiple DWDM links that create each 'fabric'. Any control unit/device we want to use on the switches must be defined to the processor ( we have 2 z990's ) channel subsystem, of course. Also, the switches themselves are able to send status/error information to the z/OS 'director software component' via a CUP device. The switch knows of the CUP device by the port address in the LINK parameter of FE. Listed below is the IOCP control statements for one of the CUP devices on one of my primary z/OS host site switches: CHPID PATH=(CSS(0),E5),SHARED,* PARTITION=((C1LP01,C1LP02,C1LP03,C1LP04,C1LP05,C1LP06),(* =)),SWITCH=70,PCHID=3C1,TYPE=FC CNTLUNIT CUNUMBR=F070,PATH=((CSS(0),E5)),UNITADD=((00,001)), * LINK=((CSS(0),70FE)),UNIT=2032 IODEVICE ADDRESS=070,UNITADD=00,CUNUMBR=(F070),STADET=Y, * UNIT=2032 I'm not really clear on how/why/were SUN/STK got involved, unless you purchased the switches from SUN/STK. That would make sense. If not, then I'm not sure what the 'connection' issue is.

Re: How to schedule transactions in CICS ?
Thank You everyone, I will try the options given and get back. - Parin On 6/4/08, Chase, John [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Parin Gangar Hello all, I am working on Webmethods implementation in our CICS environment, and need to schedule a Health-check transaction to be triggered every 10 mins or so. Does CICS have any type of scheduler similar to CA-7 or something ? From within a CICS program, EXEC CICS START TRANSID(txid) INTERVAL(hhmmss) will schedule the specified transaction to run after INTERVAL has passed. To repeat the same transaction, the program started this way must issue the same command with the desired INTERVAL specified before it terminates. From an external scheduler, issue the console command MODIFY cics_jobname,txid. Note that this way the specified transaction will run under the userID of the scheduler, so that userID must have READ permission to the RACF profile that protects the transaction. If the program itself then issues its own START TRANSID(txid) INTERVAL(hhmmss) before terminating, the external scheduler need do nothing more unless CICS gets restarted. If not, the scheduler will need to re-issue the MODIFY command at the desired intervals. You could also do this with CICSPlex System Manager (CPSM), but I can't offer any advice for that method (yet). -jc- -- 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 -- Parin Gangar -- 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
