I am looking for a “poor man automation
This is a z/1.9 environment. I do not have netview or any other automation software but I need be able to parse and then highlight a “ICH408I” message for some specific User IDs for “EXCESSIVE PASSWORD OR PASS PHRASE ATTEMPTS” . Any tips will be great (e.g., exit points, shareware, etc.) Thanks -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: to copy directories and to preserve all the attributes
Thanks Steve. I believe I have all I need now.

The thing is I do not know much about Unix Commands and their flags. We have a course for that.

Thanks! Ultimately, self-reliance is the name of the game. You need to learn where to locate the IBM docs, which are all available for free from the Internet. There are many paths, but I always start here: http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/ look on this page for z/OS elements and features publications: and you'll see: * Book 1.11 | 1.10 | ... * PDF 1.11 | 1.10 | ... and click on the link for the latest release; I always choose the Book row, because you can find both BookManager and PDF formats; if you are running a down level release you could click on that This leads to another page where you have more choices; the second group of choices looks like: z/OS V1R11.0 elements and features bookshelf List books | Download shelf | Download shelf index with a couple of text boxes below; I click on List books then you see a list of a couple of hundred docs. You can scroll, scan, or search and eventually you'll find the z/OS UNIX books; these are almost to the end of the page. I like this approach because I can see lots of docs, some of which are new to me; I can also spot updated ones (second column from the right is publication date). The book you want to discuss pax is the z/OS V1R11 UNIX System Services Command Reference. When I examine a book this way, I right-click on the link and open in a new tab; this keeps the list up while I get the book. The page you are looking at now, then, is a BookManager page with a set of icons at the top. The fourth icon from the right lets you download the pdf version of the book; the fifth icon from the right lets you download the BookManager version of the book. I always download the books I want because then I have them on my laptop even when I don't have access to the Internet (and it's faster). I prefer the PDF versions myself, but it's kind of a religious-style issue on this list: there are fanatics on the BookManager side and fanatics on the PDF side; I just prefer working with PDFs. Anyway, get the book and find the pax writeup. Let me know how that works out for you.

to copy directories and to preserve all the attributes
Hi all, Under Unix System Services (z/OS 1.9), how can I copy some directories from one to another and preserve all the attributes (i.e., last modified, last changed, last accessed, created, etc.). I am using something like: cp -Rp /u/user1/source/* /u/user2/source Thanks -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: to copy directories and to preserve all the attributes
Thanks John but this still did not do what I need (last modified, last changed, last accessed, created, were all today's date). I want what 3.3 does copying one PDS to another with Replace option. The similar members in output PDS will have last changed dates of the input PDS Thanks. --- On Fri, 8/28/09, McKown, John jmck...@healthmarkets.com wrote: From: McKown, John jmck...@healthmarkets.com Subject: Re: to copy directories and to preserve all the attributes To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Date: Friday, August 28, 2009, 2:39 PM -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Shahnaz Sent: Friday, August 28, 2009 1:25 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: to copy directories and to preserve all the attributes Hi all, Under Unix System Services (z/OS 1.9), how can I copy some directories from one to another and preserve all the attributes (i.e., last modified, last changed, last accessed, created, etc.).

z/OS 1.9 and CSP Support
This is a double post to IBM-Main and CICS-L We just upgraded z/OS 1.7 to z/OS 1.9 and CCS/TS 2.3 regions to CICS/TS 3.2 We are running Cross System Product (CSP) in one of my regions. This is a product from IBM and is no longer supported The CSP is OK under CICS/TS 3.2 region, however, the batch job that executes “Batch Command Interface – Generation Processing” (Program FZEBINIT), received the error EKZ00016P OPEN error for file EZECOMM” – EZECOMM is a VSAM File. We executed the same job in a different LPAR under z/OS 1.7 and it executed OK. We then executed the same job again under z/OS 1.9 but we added the z/OS 1.7 LE libraries (SCEELPA, SCEERUN, SCEERUN2- we did not know which ones it would need so, we added all the possible ones) and the job executed OK. In both cases the job runs with overrides ALL31=OFF and STACK=BELOW in CEEBINIT I know that CSP is not supported and it may be a while before the application that uses it migrates to a different platform. So, I am looking for an option other than keeping z/OS 1.7 LE libraries around. I will appreciate any ideas or suggestions.

Major User Impacts going to z/OS 1.9 from z/OS 1.7?
Hi All, I am trying to identify major areas of user impact going to z/OS 1.9 from z/OS 1.7. This is the kind of impact I am looking for: For Example, we know that OS/VS COBOL will no longer execute under CICS/TS 3.2. So, we/our users have to take actions for those OS/VS COBOL Programs if we upgrade our CICS regions to CICS/TS 3.2. Do we have similar situation for going to z/OS 1.9. I did review the announcement letter and did not see anything of significant that would impact users Am I missing something? Thanks for any input.

IMS 5 and z/OS 1.9?
I know that this is rather un-usual combination . but currently we have an old application under IMS 5 that runs OK under z/OS 1.7. The chances of upgaring IMS is slim to none. So, we just have to get the data and somehow make it available to the user. While that is happening, we want to upgrade to z/OS 1.9. Just wondering if anyone would know (or can guess) if IMS 5 will continue to run under z/OS 1.9 (on a z9 BC machine).
