Re: z/VM customer who moved from HDS to IBM storage (preferably DS8884)

Thinking out loud, could you set up XRC (or PPRC) pairing between the older Hitachi and newer IBM storage devices, and migrate that way? In outline, you'd (1) swing in the new IBM DS8884, (2) turn on mirroring outbound from the Hitachi storage unit inbound into the IBM unit, (3) wait until the IBM

I don't have access to listings right now, but having just done a few routines that were doing SVC99 and making use of all the DSECTs provided by IBM, I found that I had to get alignment set up correctly. So, I would start Text Units on a fullword, so that you have (off the top of my head):

Paul, here's one problem with your idea. Let's suppose you've organized your systems such that z/OS-based applications and services must rely on an external LDAP server "somewhere" for authentication and authorization. Yes, even batch programs, for example. Now...SCENE! The external LDAP server is

Re: Which STEPLIB concatenation is not authorized?

OK. How about 2 REXX commands. The first REXX command reads SYS*.PARMLIB members, parses out the DSN and Vol/SMS ignoring syntax errors, and checks each DSN for APF authorization. The second REXX command read any JCL member, parses out the steplib DSNs and Volumes ignoring syntax errors, and

I don't want to sound warlike--especially in today's political climate--but vendors have always expected customers to diagnose their own APF problems. 'Tact' is often a matter of delivering uncomfortable news gently and empathetically. As others have said, the requirements for APF concatenation

I can't speak for the CBT PDS Command, but StarTool shows APF directly and automatically without any need for OS commands. SYS1.LPALIB, for example, gives this message right at the top: PDS224I This data set is APF authorized This means of course that it's programmatically possible for an app

Re: Which STEPLIB concatenation is not authorized?

I'll accept that as almost true. But BLDL (I assume LOAD uses that or something similar) needs to find the directories to search. I'm trying to RTRM and understand. I guess it can examine DEBAMLNG bytes in DEBEXTNM to find the first extent of each catenand which must contain the directory.
