$HASP052 JES2 RESOURCE SHORTAGE OF BERT XX% UTILIZATION REACHED

Hello; We had an incident where about 8,000 jobs were submitted via a distributed process. All the jobs were of the same name. It is my understanding that the BERT contains the CAT and JQE as well as the WSCQ as indicated in a bit indicator. If the jobs were placed on hold via the $H

Re: UCBIOQF and UCBIOQL

UCBIOQF and UCBIOQL are pointers. If you search, you will find them under IOSDUPFX. They are not part of the programming interface. FWIW, there are a lot of things mentioned in data areas commentary, for diagnostic reasons, that might have no further discussion. Peter Relson z/OS Core

Re: [EXTERNAL] How do you Prove that you no longer need a working SKLM server or started task.

Hi Tom, I'm not so sure you can eliminate your ISKLM servers. You may want to log onto the DS8884 and check your security settings. I have both an 8884 and an 8910F array and both of them have ISKLM servers assigned to them. I believe the box needs the ISKLM server when it starts up. On

There is SMF real-time interface ( SMF provides an application programming interface (API) that offers real-time access to SMF in-memory resources. You can use the callable services that comprise the SMF real-time

You will need to configure this in the product that is sending the SMF records to Splunk, presumably Syncsort (whatever they call themselves now) Ironstream. Charles -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of MARTIN, MIKE Sent:

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: How do you Prove that you no longer need a working SKLM server or started task.

Mike, Does the 8950 HMC based encryption require an ISKLM license? We are currently replicating from an 8910 to an 8884 and the 8884 is falling off support at the end of the year so we'll be replacing it with another 8910 most likely. I'm wondering if I'll still need ISKLM for disk if we

Producing throwaway SMF?

Well, not exactly throwaway, but is there a way to produce SMF/RMF record types (say CICS 110-2's) for sending to a product like Splunk, but not write them to our SMF datasets (non-streams). (I realize products like Splunk probably have a way to intercept/send the data) but we may not want to

Re: Producing throwaway SMF?

Hi Mike, I believe that depends on what you mean by "not write them to the SMF datasets". If you mean that you don't want them to go to the MANx datasets where SMF actually writes records, I believe the answer is no. However, if you want them to not go to where your SMF DUMP process goes,

Re: Producing throwaway SMF? [EXTERNAL]

What about setting up the SMF parms to tell SMF to ignore the 110-2 records? CICS will still create them but I would think SMF would just "throw them away" when it see them. Before that happens would not an exit see the 110-2 records and then send them off to say Splunk? Paul Feller GTS

Re: How do you Prove that you no longer need a working SKLM server or started task.

We had DS8886 boxes and used a AP1 appliance with SKLM installed. These are no longer offered by IBM. We just upgraded to DS8950s and it has the option to do key management within the HMCs on the DS8950s. We went this route. On Mon, May 9, 2022 at 11:37 AM Tom Longfellow <

How do you Prove that you no longer need a working SKLM server or started task.

We have been doing hardware based tape and disk encryption for a very long time. So long in fact that I think we have 'upgraded' ourselves out of the SKLM (or EKM) business. The standalone servers were installed way back in our early years of DS8000 technology (before they started offering

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: How do you Prove that you no longer need a working SKLM server or started task.

Here's what our DS8K storage expert (from Mainline) said: The DS8k’s need to be at code level 9.2 and have internal encryption licensed. Any of your DS8886’s would still need SKLM, the new DS8900’s can have internal encryption (no ISKLM needed). On 5/9/2022 12:18 PM, Pommier, Rex wrote:

If you're looking for a product that intercepts SMF records, writes them to databases and, optionally, discards them before writing to SMF datasets or Logstreams, there is one named ZETALY Streaming Agent, from ZETALY. Best Regards Ituriel do Nascimento Neto z/OS System Programmer Em

Re: How do you Prove that you no longer need a working SKLM server or started task.

Echoing some other comments, there’s security merit in having redundant external key managers with your IBM DS8000 systems (external to the storage device). As IBM explains, the Local Key Manager won’t protect the drives if someone manages to grab the whole IBM DS8000 unit — a law enforcement

Re: $HASP052 JES2 RESOURCE SHORTAGE OF BERT XX% UTILIZATION REACHED [EXTERNAL]

Kenneth, I would agree that when the jobs hit JES2 the damage is done. To handle things in the future you could look at increasing the size of your checkpoint datasets. Maybe double or triple the current size so that if needed you can dynamically adjust things. Naturally if you are using a
