Just a note from old experiences. I too hated the move from the windows version to z/OSMF but you sort of have to. What forced me is:
1) IBM saying that using the windows client output is risky and may product invalid configuration directives. 2) Concerns that a future release of z/OS will thoroughly reject the "old" way and be unable to implement "new" AT-TLS features The only counter argument is that you are on the unsupported z/OS 1.12 system and will never move forward. Living without support comes with these hurdles. I still dislike the complexity of the NCA component of z/OSMF - I have managed to come to accept its non-intuitive quirks. z/OSMF is handling syntax complications that I hope to never have to learn for myself. It could be worse, you could be trying to maintain the raw Unix text files along with its arcane syntax. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
