This works on the X090 where FTP port 21 is open, but not on the C100 where port 21 is blocked. Classic FTP behavior. connection is made on 21 then ephemeral ports are used for transmission. The IBM download servers use the default port 443 for HTTPS, not port 21, so I'm confused by your claims. Exactly what program are you running, and what makes you believe it is using port 21 for HTTPS operations? Just spit-ballin' but is it possible you have a proxy or firewall in the middle causing some confusion?

Re: SMP/E
SMP/E is very well documented by IBM and you can find much of what you need from the basic manual set. Commands Guide describes the processing steps for each command, including what is done for different element types on receive, apply and accept, and how SMP/E builds load modules. Reference Guide has the syntax for different types of MCS (++ statements). It also has documentation for all SMP/E related DDNAMEs, for the API, and some service routines. The User's Guide does get into basic explanation and tutorial. For ISVs, it provides a good view of how customers would expect SMP/E to work. Messages Guide is what it sounds like. The Rules for Packaging mentioned by Tony is a good reference for ISVs. It addresses Function Sysmods (releases) more than APARs/PTFs. SRA did provide the SMP/E Fundamentals in the mid-1990s. We have a copy inherited from Sterling Software but it is on twelve 3.5 inch disks.

Hi Steve, I'm one of the developers working on z/OS Client Web Enablement Toolkit. The updated connection URI is https://soa.smext.faa.gov and the updated request URI is /asws/api/airport/status/jfk The connection type has been upgraded from HTTP to HTTPS. If you do not utilize AT-TLS, or if there is not a AT-TLS policy enabled for the connection to this FAA server, you may need to set additional SSL/TLS support options in your application. These options include turning on SSL/TLS, and telling toolkit the location of your certificate store (HWTH_OPT_USE_SSL, HWTH_OPT_SSLKEY, HWTH_OPT_SSLKEYTYPE options). See this link for more details: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.ieac100/ieac1-cwe-http-options.htm We understand that having a working sample is a priority to you and we are working on getting the sample updated as soon as we possibly can.

Re: DCB Open Exit
(Purely guessing, might be totally wrong) There is no way to tell because there is no association between the processing done for the multiple DCBs other than possibly respect to backing out upon error.. Your exit will get control for each of these three and there is no difference to the exit between one OPEN with three DCBs and three consecutive OPENs. So do whatever you would do if you saw three consecutive OPENs. (No fields in the LDA are programming interfaces, so use them completely at your own risk.)

Who has experience with z/OSMF SSO and Console support
Hi all, Our requirement is to have in only one browser window/tab all the consoles for all the SYSPLEXes. Implementing z/OSMF Single Sign On (SSO), can have in only one browser/tab session all the consoles for all sysplexes? Also, I would like to know if in only one browser window/tab can I handle all the z/OSMF functions for all sysplexes or SSO is only used to eliminate the pop-up window to authenticate (user id & psw) to each SYSPLEX and it open automatically a new window or tab for the others z/SOMF Sysplexes. I would like to figure it, if using SSO I authenticate only to the primary z/OSMF and it open a new tab to handle other SYSPLEX and so on.

Re: RES: DCB Open Exit
How do you address multiple OPEN statements? How do you know the earlier datasets are more deserving? I would expect that the standard print files will be the first ones opened, and they probably benefit the least. It would be better to scan the TIOT to determine the more deserving (TAPE? DASD?) and just do them.
