Alan: Please be sure your effort and words are greatly appreciated and have not been wasted.
I wish I could take credit for the config, but unfortunately I am new here. Since being enlightened yesterday, I have been in touch with the z/VM and network teams here and told them no one must ever again touch TCPIP PROFILE EXEC or mess with IBM DTCPARMS. Education should not be, but often is, a painful process. Your counsel and advice are beyond measure. tyvm Alan Altmark <alan_altm...@us.ibm.com> Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> 02/23/2011 01:15 PM Please respond to The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> To IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU cc Subject Re: Changing TCPIP PROFILE EXEC On Wednesday, 02/23/2011 at 11:09 EST, George Henke/NYLIC <george_he...@newyorklife.com> wrote: > Alan: > > I have moved the COMMAND statements to the top before the INCLUDE TCPCMSU which > has DEV type statements like SPOOL, CONSOLE, LINK and it IPLs CMS.

At install time, I think you didn't perform the step 6.2.3.2.45.1253 (in the tcp/ip program directory) that populates the 198 with samples, and you didn't use the IP Wizard, which would have placed files on the 592 and the 198. > Also IBM DTCPARMS is named IBMN DTCPARMS on TCPMAINT's 191: Since (a) it's on the wrong disk, and (2) it has the wrong name, it just means nothing is never ever going to read it, so it's just e-trash. IBM DTCPARMS lives on TCPMAINT 591, safe and sound, where there is a sign hanging on the door that says "Warning: Shock hazard.

You're killing me, George. You're just killing me. Someone bring me my pills..... There's nothing like having copies of config files on your own A-disk (TCPIP DATA is a good one) so that everything works fine for you, but aeu418dk not for anyone el....se.... fdsflkjaDSLGw<do not attempt to adjust your television>cdLJH<gurgle>fa9ujn At one installation I saw evidence of what appeared to be human remains (cleaned up with bleach before DNA evidence could be collected), where someone tried to alter TCPIP's PROFILE EXEC or the IBM DTCPARMS file on the 591. It was never explained to my satisfaction. There was another case where someone copied the entire contents of IBM DTCPARMS onto SYSTEM DTCPARMS on the 198, apparently thinking to outfox the system. The individual has not been seen for 3 weeks now. But go ahead. Do what you want. Hey. It's not MY system. He Who Must Not Be Named IBM Blab Services office: 666.555.1212
