Karl,
You wrote "Sterling Software didn't want to submit VM:Secure for testing so we were stuck with RACF and DIRMAINT."
What testing? Maybe CA submitted VM:Secure for that _whatever_ testing since back then. I suspect that you are referring to some security testing. If so, your VM/ESA 230 system may be less secure than whatever level of VM:Secure would run on it (if you can even order a version to run on VM/ESA 230!).
And... why would a "new system" need VM/ESA 230? You do know that's more than a little out of support, right? Perhaps you meant a new hardware box? BTW, IMHO even though very out of support, VM/ESA 230 would be far more stable than a current Windows XP!

Back in the late 80's during the VM/SP or VM/HPO days, we ran RACF for PL
2
(then called System High) processing as it was the only government approv
ed
software package at the time. Sterling Software didn't want to submit
VM:Secure for testing so we were stuck with RACF and DIRMAINT. After we n
o
longer needed PL2 we went back to VM:Secure. Now I find that I might have
to set up our new system to run PL2 and was hoping that I wouldn't have t
o
go back to RACF. We are running VM/ESA 2.3. Am I stuck with RACF or has
someone seen something better out there?
Thanks!
