Hi Gadi. At last someone (Marna) has answered your question. Once you have z/OSMF set up installing the z/OS libraries and SMPE datasets is simple. It is called ‘adding a software instance’ and in this case it is created from a portable software instance which is like a glorified tar ball.

Hi Rex Networking is not my speciality but you should be able to add a HOST route - see the BEGINROUTES statement in IP Config Reference. Something like this: ROUTE windows server IP address. HOST = OSA_INTERFACE2 where OSA_INTERFACE2 is the interface which you want to use. This example

I like the SAF checks for audit reasons as well as enforcement of corporate policies. If someone needs to receive something unsigned they can get temporary access to do so without needing to edit anything in their receive job. Mark Jacobs Sent from ProtonMail, Swiss-based encrypted email.

We just got it configured and tested with my standard throwaway ShopZ order, Device Support Facilities. It works great, I'm sure management will love it. Questions: 1) Is there anything on the radar to have SMP/e enforce package signature validation if the package is signed? 2) Ditto to have

Hi all, I have a question about routing FTP traffic. First a bit about the environment. Z14-zr1 with (2) 1-GbE OSA adapters shared across 3 LPARs. The 2 adapters are not in a VIPA configuration. Right now on this LPAR, only 1 of the adapters is defined to TCP/IP. I can easily get the

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's a compiler bug. I recreated the issue (with this program) with both V6.3 and V6.4. I also "solved" the issue by using BYTE-LENGTH instead of LENGTH. But that's just a work-around, of course. So you need to open a CASE with IBM to get it fixed.
