Some of our nodes are connected via store-and-forward, so I don't think we can specify DIRECT=YES without also changing topology. Similar concern for SUBNET, which is not currently defined. All nodes belong to us and are managed by the same group of folks. That means that a userid on one node

Hi David, The problem with that approach is that checks against the profile will also be made for NJE jobs that are not local to the RACF database. The purpose of the profile is to allow JES/RACF to make a decision as to whether the submitter is a local user. Lou -- Artificial Intelligence is

I'm not clear on the scope of 'merging'. If you are just moving LPARs wholesale from two CECs to one CEC, it should not be too complicated. In particular, if you're careful, there should be minimal impact on users. If you're consolidating LPARs, then you're in a whole new ballgame. That
