JES3 to JES2 migration experience

We have lots of migration experience. If you would like to discuss the gotcha’s 
for such a migration, drop me an email to

Subject: [IBM-MAIN] JES3 to JES2 migration experience

Hi List,

I know this topic has been discussed multiple times, and with the recent SOD on 
JES3, I am looking for some hands-on tips or experiences from anyone who has 
had the chance of converting from JES3 to JES2.

Can anyone share their experience on what are the most troublesome areas to be 
considered for such a migration and how were these handled in your case?

Any gotchas, or areas that get overlooked?

I am reviewing the excellent Redbook from IBM, but would want to supplement 
that with some real world experiences.

Thanks
Varun

UK Based GenZ Networking Event on 22nd March 2019

[Mark Wilson]

For any younger members of RACF-L and IBMMAIN….

All are welcome, but the event will be held in Bromsgrove, UK…

Mark


Hi all,

Following on from our successful launch at GSE last year, join us on March 22nd 
2019, where the first GenZ full day event will take place at RSM Partners, 
Bromsgrove. GenZ is a networking group focused entirely on bringing the next 
generation of mainframers together, meeting at least twice annually.

One of the most crucial ways to ensure a successful mainframe career is to 
build a network across the entire mainframe industry as early on as possible. 
The GenZ community enables this, alongside delivering skills that you can put 
into practice at your workplace. The day will compromise of guest speakers, 
practical workshops, and interactive question and answer sessions, all geared 
towards mainframe professionals who are in the early stages of their career. 
Genz is strongly focused on building a community first and foremost; this means 
no “sales pitches”, an informal dress code, easily digestible material, a later 
start date to cater for those requiring travel and even FREE tickets!

To see details of the agenda and confirm your place, please sign up via this 
Eventbrite 
page.
 There are limited spaces left, so book now to avoid disappointment!

Best regards,

Harvi Singh| GenZ Admin

OS/390 2.5

[Mark Wilson]

Hi Folks,

I have a client who is running OS/390 2.5 and they cannot upgrade their OS for 
many reasons, let’s just not go there!

They have asked what is the latest z Hardware they can use whilst running 
OS/390 2.5, but I am struggling to find any info out there at the moment.

I know its old, unsupported, but we are where we are….

So, does anyone know? z9, z10, etc….

IEFOPZxx Parmlib Members -- Debate at GSE LSG Meeting

[Mark Wilson]

John,

Just following up on your comment re your curiosity re IEFOPZxx debate on the 
GSE UK LSG Agenda.

We will debate IEFOPZ from two perspectives:

The first being how, why and when to use it, as its one of those topics that 
can potentially just slip by if the techies are not paying attention.

The second and the more interesting discussion will be around any potential 
security issues that could be exploited, by a rogue user, who has update or 
higher access to PARMLIB, couple with some patience or the ability to 
dynamically enable this for a given program.

Given they could introduce their own code into the system, there are several 
security questions to be asked:


· what security controls are available to us?

· What monitoring solutions are they if this is dynamically changed?

· What controls should/must be deployed?

I have to write a few slides on this over the coming week and may come up with 
more questions than answers!

Hope this helps….

PSF Issue

[Mark Wilson]

Hi,

We’re trying to print Royal Mail MailMark barcodes which require C40 encoding 
throughout.

When we have sent samples to Royal Mail they are being rejected because the c40 
Latchcode is in the middle.

Based on my reading this suggests that we are still using default encoding and 
not C40 which suggests that the BCXPARMS ENCODE parameter is not working.

We are running PSF 4.3.0 for z/OS and PAGE PRINTER FORMATTING AID/390(PM36617)

(PM36617 being the fix that enabled the BCXPARMS ENCODE parameter for barcodes 
but doesn’t mention C40 as an option)

And the device we’re printing to is an IBM Infoprint 4100, ECLEVEL=V12.5.17

I have found documentation on the Web that shows C40 as an option for the 
BCXPARMS ENCODE parameter but can’t find any information about what we need to 
do to enable that.

We have created a new pagedef and recycled the printer.

GSE UK Annual Conference - Large Systems Stream -- Call For Papers

[Mark Wilson]

All,

We are beginning the process to build the agenda for the LSG stream of the next 
GSE UK Conference.  This event will be held on November 3  4 at Whittlebury 
Hall in Northamptonshire.

The LSG stream will comprise 10 sessions across the 2 days (5 x 60 minute 
sessions and 5 x 45 minute sessions). The conference has a suggested theme of 
'z Systems: The Cloud has a silver lining' though presentation submissions on 
any Large Systems topic are welcomed.

If you would like to present at one of these sessions please send your 
presentation title, a brief abstract of the presentation and a brief bio of the 
presenter to myself (mark.wil...@gse.org.ukmailto:mark.wil...@gse.org.uk) by 
the 30th May.

Please remember that the objectives of the Conference are to provide guidance 
and education. The GSE policies prohibit presentations that are focused on 
selling or promoting a product.  Instead, they should focus on technical 
issues. As an example, you could discuss a topical issue and how that issue can 
be resolved; you could describe enhancements to a product and how they can be 
exploited; other possible topics include explaining the mysteries of the 
mainframe to new technicians and students.

We look forward to receiving your suggestions for presentations at this year's 
conference and to seeing you at the LSG stream.



Regards


Mark, Roger  Andy
