3270 Software for Mac

Re: STK-SUN-Brocade switch--2032 IOdef
Do you use the Brocade ECFM software to configure the switch (level 9.6 is current level, I believe)? I am working with Brocade i10k's, but I think your switch should use ECFM as well. If you don't have current level, you should upgrade that first. You should still be able to get devices connected if the IODF has an error on just some of the devices. Seems like zoning is the problem. Let me know if you use ECFM and I will try to stimulate my brain with caffeine to remember the details. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ron Wells Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 9:26 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Fw: STK-SUN-Brocade switch--2032 IOdef we have a brocade 5000...was there a specific rel level code?? any oither specifics?? we are going to try again this weekend.. even with out iodef not correct most of the devices should have come up.. as mentioned the STK guy mentioned zoning.. - Forwarded by Ron Wells/AGFS/AGFin on 06/10/2008 08:24 AM - Bielskie, Stephen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU 06/10/2008 08:14 AM Please respond to IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU To IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU cc Subject Re: STK-SUN-Brocade switch--2032 IOdef Is this a new switch?

Re: RDz
Bill, Exactly what I need to hear about its scope. About the documentation, my older CICS NT documentation taught me about: start cicsrun . . to start CICS, but I never did find how to successfully add -userid -password -tansactionID parms thus automatically invoking the transaction my software just generated - big nuisance. Would also like to trigger some kind of script that would automatically run thru some of the BMS screens just to make sure all looked OK - just a fishing trip:-). and to compile my Cobol/XCICS pgms I use: set tempmem=on cob2 %1.cbl -qlib,xref,ssrange,nosequence,map,trunc(bin) -g -Ie:\conrad\temcc -Ic:\copylibg If RDz documentation does describe both of the above, for the time being, this is sufficient. But the start cicsrun with parms would sure be a bonus - I hope it's there. As for NOT being the target audience, it seems then that many of us must be used to that:-( Merci beaucoup pour l'info.

Re: STK-SUN-Brocade switch--2032 IOdef
There is an issue with enabling the default zone in EFCM. For some reason, at least on the i10ks, the default zone box is grayed out, so you have to trick the GUI into enabling it. This is how: Sign on to EFCM, highlight the switch, and select the Configure\zoning tab. When the pop-up appears, select the Zoning Policies button. You can enable default zone from there. If it is grayed out, you must toggle the Safe Zoning Mode checkbox, then click OK. Go back into the Zoning Policies, uncheck the Safe Zoning Mode checkbox, and the Default Zone should then be accessible. Mark it enabled, and Safe Zoning disabled. Close the dialog box, and then activate the zoning configuration. You want to use the default zone if you can, that way, you don't have to rezone anything if a GBIC is replaced (since it will have a different WWPN, it will have to be added to the zone). Default zone says to put everything that is not explicitly coded into zone, into a zone called default. This allows any-to-any connection within the switch, which works, since you define the paths through the switch in the IOCDS.

IPL Text
Hi Everyone, I am applying compatibility maintenance to our z/OS1.4 system to go to z/OS1.7. A number of the fixes require the IPL Text to be re-written. It mentions using ICKDSF to accomplish this. I know we don't have the last version of ICKDSF installed (I believe it was supposed to go to ICKDSF17). Does anyone know if I will still be able to use our old version (which I think is ICKDSF16) to create it? Are there any serious implications I should know about? Can anyone point me to some JCL? ...or good documentation? Etc.
