Re: RACF: Limiting update-authorization of a file to a particular application

2019-02-20 Thread Joel C. Ewing
Using the term "RACF-authorized" is incorrect in this context.   All modules loaded in the address space must be program-controlled (not authorized), which means they must be covered by a PROGRAM profile that includes a group member for the dataset from which they were loaded.    The fact that a

Retart after a Failed PC Service Routine with a sysem LX

I would suggest using a reusable LX and then make sure the caller can locate the sequence number as easily as the PC number(s) If you're likely to restart and re-connect, there is little benefit to a reusable System LX (this is unlike the case for a non-system LX for which there is

As the OP, I don’t care what they call it either. I only care for planning reasons. Since I have older hardware I need to know if I can migrate 2.2 --> 2.4 or need migrate 2.2 --> 2.3 If so, I need to get my 2.3 order in before I can no longer do so. Actually I looked at past preview

Hello, You may use CBRSPLCS program to change volume category. The CBRSPLCS source program is in SYS1.SAMPLIB with member name CBRSPLCS. You have to Assemble and Linkedit to generate load module of CBRSPLCS. If you are using DFSMSrmm, EDGSPLCS RMM utility can be used same as CBRSPLCS. Regards,

There may be a few more variables to consider here to understand all the differences. I certainly can't remember all the nuances off the top of my head. I would think the logmode used might affect what the ATTN (ESC) key does (and SYS-REQ). SNA supports it whereas NON-SNA does not. Then
