Re: Sort Question

Edward, Here is a DFSORT JCL which will give you the desired results. I assumed that your input file is FB and 80 bytes in length. I also assumed that your name and domain names are each 30 bytes in length. //STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SORTIN DD * x...@bbb.com

Re: Hiding cross LPAR capacity information

I agree. It would be better to fix the issue than hide the issue. I am sure the contract has validation and expectations spelled out. The proverbial slope you are on is icy with a dim weather forcast. Rob Schramm On Sat, Jul 15, 2017, 3:03 PM Binyamin Dissen

I am not a TCP stack expert nor a DoS expert but I don't think of encryption and DoS as having much to do with each other. DoS of course = denial of service, which is a large basket. I think it sometimes means any sort of "bring the system down or make it ineffective" attack, but usually I

Sort Question

One of my users asked me this question and I am not quite clear on how to respond. Given an email address aaa...@bbb.com (example) He just wants to sort on the field before the @ and then for a secondary sort the bbb field. Both fields are variable in length (not sure

Re: Hiding cross LPAR capacity information

While there are probably ways to do what you want, I would question the ethics of preventing the client from seeing the information rather than providing the contracted service. And by taking the step to conceal the information you may be opening up legal sanctions should there be a lawsuit. On

Re: Need Hep with HIDS and z/OS

There are a few companies that have SMF logger offload directly to something like splunk for access logging as well as moving security logs off platform. User ID + system iD + date + time should work for being unique. Smart comes to mind.. but I know there are others. HTH Rob Schramm On

As a vendor i have been receiving questions about DoS attacks on z/OS .. I understand the idea / concept of perimeter defense , i was a Network Engineer in a pass life. But from a application point of view, if the application is using AT/TLS and there are Pagent protection policies for PORTS/IP

Arthur, You cannot take the snippets out of context. Each snippet is qualified. Remember that rmm is always on your system (s/w delivered and installed as part of z/os), you have to take steps to tell rmm that it turned on. Adding DFRM susbsystem + EDGSSSI to IEFSSNxx turns it on fully. Adding
