To connect two devices, you have a fiber pair. One fiber connects in one direction, the other fiber connects in the other direction. Disconnect one end. If you still have the one direction working, you have disconnected the bad fiber. If both directions are now out, you have disconnected the

What do you mean by "see CSYSTEM and LSYSTEM"is it definition or actual status? If actual then one CPC can connect to the other -- so the fiber link is working, while the other side cannot see CSYSTEM (you presumably meant production can see only LSYSTEM, as local) -- which narrows the

The location of the DCB and other information is in proprietary structures which are not available to the user. Also, because of buffering and read-ahead, the record you are looking at may not be in the file the DCB is currently pointing to. I don't know what you are trying to do, but if you

The E11 exit will not look at any file. It is a, shall we say, dumb exit. If your question is what files Syncsort will look at in analyzing a concatenated SORTIN, it will look at all of them. One of the things it is trying to do is determine the input file size and the access method required

You can also use the CEEOPTS DD. Something like this: //CEEOPTS DD * ENVAR("GSK_PROTOCOL_TLSV1_2=1") [...any other LE options you wish to use...] /* We also use this method of specifying TLS 1.2, but I seem to recall the "official" method is to use AT-TLS instead. At the time we wanted to

OK. I am going to *guess* that if it all works unless the client supports only TLS 1.1 then it is the server that is refusing anything less than 1.2. I guess you have no control over that. By the way TLSRFCLEVEL CCCNONOTIFY is a slight security exposure that some may balk at. No, there is no

I’m looking into that As an additional question We have a huge number of files When concatenating sortin Is there anyway to determine which file the exit is analyzing. Typically a program can do A Rdjfcb x’07’ to determine that but you have the DCB wonder if there is something you provide

If I understand what you want to do is to concatenate additional files to SORTIN, then I would strongly urge you NOT to do that in the E11. You can, but I would not be confident in the results. By the time the E11 exit is called a certain amount of analysis of the files has been done in the

Okay, so the answer to my question "what are you trying to do that PARM/SYSFTPD/INPUT does not solve?" is "force FTP to use TLS 1.2, because that is the only variant that seems to work no matter what their RACF/ACF2/TSS configuration is." Is that right? > without installing certificates used

You might check the fiber path between the buildings. I think the link budget on a CE LR is only 7db, so if you have some lossy fiber pairs and/or patches you might be losing too much light. Reference: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/sites/default/files/inline-files/536468_GA23-0367-13.pdf. -
