I don't think you're going to be able to "hack in" support for higher TLS levels. I think you've got a couple near-term options, not necessarily mutually exclusive: A. Place one or a couple newer release CICS regions on the "front side" to handle the network connectivity, and connect them to yo

It is true, TLS 2.3 support is new function in Communication Server z/OS 2.4. My guess is that it won't be retrofitted, but you can always ask IBM. On Fri, Sep 4, 2020 at 5:45 AM Gibney, Dave wrote: > Over on CICS-L, I was told that TLS 2.3 requires z/OS 2.4. Is this true? > Any prospect of a i

You can specify the ciphers in a USS .xml file, the path is set by USSCONFIG and the file name is in the CICS CIPHERS parameter (which can be a list of 2 digit cipher codes or the file name). Good luck, CICS 3.1 is 5 years out of support so it won't have PTFs for anything newer in TLS. Most likel

None of the MVS-SP1 releases required new instructions. They did exploit new instructions if they were available. More likely, you are thinking of SE1 or SE2. That was where various required assist (Lock, SVC, SETFRR) instructions were added. Jim Mulder z/OS Diagnosis, Design, Developmen
