and when I asked IBM this is the response I got: "Sorry you ran into this problem, but fortunately the solution is quite easy. The service for TCP/IP hit parts that are stored in the byte file system. In order for that code to be copied to production, the servers need to be up and running. Bring up the Shared File System (SFS) servers by logging on (or autologging) VMSERVS, VMSERVR and VMSERVU. Then you can run PUT2PROD and get past this hurdle." much easier to do
munson From: George Henke/NYLIC <george_he...@newyorklife.com> To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Date: 10/28/2010 12:53 PM Subject: Re: BFS for Dummies Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> Here is IBM's recommended workaround for the TCPIP problem in PUT2PROD that bypasses BFS. Comment out with a '-' in column 1 the BFS load (in tag :TCPBFS) in 5VMTCP40.CATALOG on 5VMTCP40 491 and your TCPIP processing in PUT2PROD will finish normally. Evidently the BFS load is done for LDAP. If you do not want to bypass BFS, that is another question.

I've been told by IBM I need to work thru the Controlling OpenExtensions and BFS Security chapter in the RACF Security Admin. Gde, ch 14 for the 5.4 doc or ch 12 for the 6.1 doc. IBM referenced the 6.1 doc even tho I told them I'm working with 5.4. My immediate question is under the heading, "Setting up Support for OpenExtensions" , p 214 of the 6.1 level manual, where it says: 3. Identify your BFS service machine user IDs to RACF: a. Create a profile called POSIXOPT.SETIDS in the VMPOSIX class. b. Permit the BFS service machine user IDs. c. If it is not active already, activate the VMPOSIX class. This is where the Dummies question arises. What are the BFS service machines as they relate to SSL use. Are they the VMSERVS, U, and R userids? Are they GSKADMIN and/or SSLSERV. Is TCPIP involved since it's in the area of TCPIP where my PUT2PROD fails.
