To create many RACF profiles at one time
Recently I've got a new test system and there is no profile in its RACF at all. Now I want to set RACF 'protectall',but before that,I should create profile for all HLQs of data sets in the sytem first. For a HlQ,I want to: 1,Define a group whose name=HLQ 2,Create a profile for it like HLQ.** and set UACC(read) Because there are many data sets in the sytem,it's a tiring job. Now my plan is: 1,list all data sets in system and record all HLQs. 2,Using JCL to issue RACF commands. However,for each HLQ I need a JCL step and this means I must copy-and-paste many times.So I want a better way to do this.Maybe using REXX? Hope anyone can give me some hints on this. -- Best Regards, Johnny Luo -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: Define and start JES2
In fact, the command is xPJES2, where x is what is specified as CONCHAR= on the CONDEF init statement. The default is $ but you may want to select something else for a secondary JES. 2 more comments: That CONCHAR (in case of my alternate JES a .) also precedes HASP-Messages. They look like this: .HASPxxx. So automation may be affected. If IEFUSI fails a job if it does not have a knwon subsystem name you want to include the name of your JES in IEFUSI. My USI checks for subsystem 'JES2', and when I started my alternate JES as JESX (to test new JES exits), all my jobs sent there were getting a JCL error - until I included subsystem 'JESX' in USI.

Re: Noob question regarding zFS
It is more reliable than HFS. I think the jury is out on that one still. Until there is more usage and acceptance, at this point I'm not sure how much I trust zFS so I only have limited use (there have been problems but I think z/OS 1.7 made some RAS improvements). Not all that much different than PDSE was in the not so distant past (even though PDSE has been around since MVS/ESA). HFS may still be more stable/reliable for mission critical applications at this point even though there are no improvements planned. Anyone care to comment on personal experiences (good or bad)? Well, we converted everything but the root to zFS (under 1.4). In order to get automation to work correctly, we had to start it sub=mstr. On our Domino LPARS that had the effect of delaying the first automation reply for a lng time (it used to be 30seconds after automation started, it now is in excess of 6 minutes). Automation can only start up the system once OMVS is fully initialized, and OMVS only initializes when the zFSs are all started. Confused the hell out of me the first time it happened (I had just migrated from SA/390 1.3 to 2.2 and the automation reply did not come) and still confuses the operators. We were told by IBM that is is due to the fact that we have the huge zFSs for Lotus Notes, and that the long init is normal. As for reliability, I am not sure it is more reliable. We had/have one incident where a zFS had to be grown and after the mail server restart it went into a high IO loop (500 SIOs per second instead of 100 in similar cases). The trace records we could see look like the zFSs were corrupted. And now lets not talk about IBM software support.. Regards, Barbara Nitz -- Lust, ein paar Euro nebenbei zu verdienen?

Re: ICHDEX01 question
On 1/5/2006 1:06 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Next question: If I convert from masking to DES, what effect does that have on password storage? Specifically, we have a strong need to be able to extract the unencrypted password in batch jobs via user exits, which then puts the password on the jobcard for submission. Another exit overlays the password with X's so it does not appear in the job output. (I've never seen it done this way, either, and am not in a position to change this procedure. It is ubiquitous throughout the entire batch environment. And, yes, I have made my objections well known.) I know that DES is a better protection mechanism than masking. If DES allows extraction of unencrypted passwords, I will advocate a change. If not, well then I'm just plain stuck with masking until I can build a new solution. Your thoughts? Why do you need to put passwords on submitted jobs? The system has had functions to avoid that for a long time (years, if not decades) now. When a user submits a local job his identity is inherited automatically, without the need for a password or a user ID specification. For NJE jobs you can use NODES profiles on the receiving system to indicate your level of trust in the sending system, and again you have the capability of inheriting the originator's ID without needing a password. Or, for submitting a job under a different ID you can use surrogate processing to say that authenticated user X can submit jobs for user Y without a password. By the way, your exit for suppressing the password on listings is also superfluous, as JES does that automatically (and has done so, again, for years or possibly decades).

Re: FTP userid propagation
-Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Charles Mills [ snip ] but what I would REALLY like is what I asked for: some automated way of getting a user here signed on automatically there. It looks like PassTicket will do exactly that but I am a little boggled by all of the details - it would be great to have a Redbook-style cookbook - and I'd really like to understand the possible applicability of SSL/TLS. This is OPINION based primarily on research and VERY LITTLE experience (so far) with digital certificates and SSL/TLS: For what you propose, I believe digital certificates (and optionally SSL/TLS) would be simpler than Passtickets. My perception of Passtickets is that they are better suited for live sign-on since there is a unique Passticket generated every time a logon or sign-on is attempted, AND both the originating and target systems must have their clocks pretty-well synchronized for a generated Passticket to be considered valid by the target system. I believe digital certificates (with or without SSL/TLS) are better suited for batch-type sign-on, because a digital certificate is valid for a much longer time than ten minutes (normally) and the disparate system clocks need not be synchronized. And depending on the relationships between your prospect's system(s) and the target system(s), your prospect *may* be able to use self-signed certificates (i.e., your prospect could be its own certificate authority). -jc- -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

The job being letting a program running for user XYZ log on to FTP on a different machine using the same userid (and assuming synchronized passwords and clocks)? Any gotchas with PassTicket? Good question, Charles. PassTickets would work, but you would need to implement some code on the client side to calculate the PassTicket so you could then provide it in response to the password prompt from the server. Prior to z/OS V1R7 that code must run APF-authorized. In z/OS R7 we provide enhanced functions for generating PassTickets that can be used by non-APF programs or Java. See http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ichza360/11.1?SHELF=EZ2ZO10FDT=20050621032554 or http://makeashorterlink.com/?H2A842C6C for more information. On z/OS V1R7 or later using PassTickets for functions like this has thus become more feasible. However, it still does require some programming around the FTP process.

Validating SMP/E maintenance levels
I ran into a rather unusual problem yesterday. My SMP/E is lying to me. I did a REPORT CROSSZONES to determine what maintenance is on my test z/OS 1.4 system versus my production z/OS 1.4 system. I know that they are at different maintenance levels because some of the ISMF panels are different and some of the modules are different sizes. The only thing that I can think of that could have happened is a failure in a maintenance process (mine, not SMP/E's). What I do is clone my running system to a new set of volumes (disk copy using DFDSS). I then clip the new volumes to new volsers. I then update the SMP/E DDDEFs for the production zone to point to these volumes. I apply maintenance. When ready to test, I clip the new volumes back to the original volsers and carefully IPL (due to duplicate volsers). Once up on the new volumes, I clip the old production volumes to new names and back them up to tape. Somewhere along the line, I must have royally messed this up. I have no idea how, but I'll take the bullet for it. Now, given a running system and an SMP/E zone which purports to describe that system, is there any way to verify that the libraries and SMP/E are properly synchronized? I'm thinking that there likely is not. FWIW - what I did was really cheat. My test z/OS 1.4 system had all the maintenance on it that I needed. So I simply created a clone of production by using the test image libraries.

Re: Invalid DSN in Catalog
The semantics confuses me. Why was anything ever permitted but deemed invalid? read that as not conforming to documented syntax rules for cataloged datasets. Back in the days of CVOL catalogs, the rules were enforced almost by default, since a CVOL is a hierarchical structure, where each level in the hierarchy corresponds to one index level in the dataset name (thus the name index level). The max size of each level was 8 characters and invalid characters or imbedded spaces caused structure errors. In ICF catalogs, dsnames are stored as a single 44 character string, so theoretically any string can be cataloged, even if it doesn't meet the rules. In the past, syntax checking was done in various components but you could bypass them. As Mark T said, there is now an option, enabled by default, to syntax check dsnames in CATALOG. -- Bruce A.

The max size of each level was 8 characters and invalid characters or imbedded spaces caused structure errors. What's a structure error? My understanding is that CVOL catalogs exploited the facilities of CKD DASD, using the index levels as the key fields. Of course, the length of the key field imposes the restriction that an index level can't be longer than 8 or shorter than 1 character. But why any restriction for invalid characters or imbedded spaces? Must a key field contain no spaces, etc.?

In the past, syntax checking was done in various components but you could bypass them. As Mark T said, there is now an option, enabled by default, to syntax check dsnames in CATALOG. I'll restate my objection to the practice of various components enforcing syntactic rules that are properly in the jurisdiction of another component. The advent of ICF catalogs should have provided an excellent opportunity to relax an onerous syntactic restriction and allow, for example, HFS data sets to imbed exact images of the associated UNIX directories. Alas, the chaos of vigilante enforcement made this so impractical that the syntax checking option was provided. And I remain curious: with syntax checking enabled, will it continue to be possible to uncatalog/delete/rename data sets having nonconforming names, provided that at least the new name is conformant? -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: FTP userid propagation
Walt, thanks very much. As mentioned in the OP, the FTP INPUT (command) file is totally built by a fairly complex program, so adding the logic to call an address in MVS, pass two parameters, and get back 8 bytes in 2 registers is almost trivial. I will definitely look at the 1.7 docs. I was a little put off by the need for Key 0 (authorization, in other words) - or rather, by the need to sell authorization to customers - so I am glad to hear you have loosened things up a little.

Good question, Charles. PassTickets would work, but you would need to implement some code on the client side to calculate the PassTicket so you could then provide it in response to the password prompt from the server.

Re: Validating SMP/E maintenance levels
This is where I use system symbolics. I load the master catalog with SYSR1 for the primary IPL volume (except for sys1.parmlib if it is on there) and use SYSR2, etc for the subsequent volumes. I then set the symbolics in the IEASYMxx member (except for SYSR1) and IPL. Works great except for VSAM files, so I keep those off the res volumes. SYS1.PARMLIB requires a volser of ** if it's on the IPL volume. The RCNVCAT from the CBT tape, file 542 works with minimum effort to create the IDCAMS entries. For the OMVS stuff, I put the IPL volume volser as part of the dataset name and setup BPXPRMFS to use system symbolics to point to the correct version. This way I don't worry about duplicate volsers at IPL time. On Fri, 6 Jan 2006 08:37:55 -0600, McKown, John [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I ran into a rather unusual problem yesterday. My SMP/E is lying to me. I did a REPORT CROSSZONES to determine what maintenance is on my test z/OS 1.4 system versus my production z/OS 1.4 system. I know that they are at different maintenance levels because some of the ISMF panels are different and some of the modules are different sizes. The only thing that I can think of that could have happened is a failure in a maintenance process (mine, not SMP/E's). What I do is clone my running system to a new set of volumes (disk copy using DFDSS). I then clip the new volumes to new volsers. I then update the SMP/E DDDEFs for the production zone to point to these volumes. I apply maintenance. When ready to test, I clip the new volumes back to the original volsers and carefully IPL (due to duplicate volsers). Once up on the new volumes, I clip the old production volumes to new names and back them up to tape. Somewhere along the line, I must have royally messed this up. I have no idea how, but I'll take the bullet for it. Now, given a running system and an SMP/E zone which purports to describe that system, is there any way to verify that the libraries and SMP/E are properly synchronized? I'm thinking that there likely is not. FWIW - what I did was really cheat. My test z/OS 1.4 system had all the maintenance on it that I needed.

CATALOG ACCESS ERROR
I'm doing sms definitions for a tape library in my Driver system. When I try to define the Tape library I keep getting a catalog access error. ICF catalog error: RTC = 30 RSC = 62 MOD = F8 I've been doing a lot of searches in Book Manager, but I'm having no luck finding the manual these codes are listed in. I thought maybe I had run out of space in my scds, so I defined a new one, initialized it, and then tried to add the tape library and it fails the same way. So it's not a space issue. Can someone point me at the right manual for determining the problem? Thanks very much.

Re: IBM Mainframe DSLIST to Dataset w/ Wildcards?
You might look at FDRREPORT from Innovation Data Processing (FDR/ABR). It could scan the data sets using your wildcard patterns and generate JCL and the appropriate utility control cards to do the job. FDRREPORT is available as a separate product. FDRREPORT can also report on HSM information. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

All righty... here's how we're spending some slow time here. Datasets get generated on a biweekly basis with the format: USERID01.TAn.Pooo.Ddddhhmm.node ... where n represents a division, ooo is a pay period, ddd = 'Julian' date, hhmm = time and .node is any one of four possible values. The primary criterion of selection will be ooo, the pay period. (Pay period is designated as single-digit year and 01 - 27, a biweekly cycle; research has determined that the earliest datasets are P0, year 2000, and that no P9 exist.) (I know... but I didn't design the naming convention.) Folks in corner offices want these deleted and their wills be done... but I'm looking to automate the task since there are about 14,000 datasets involved, spread out over five USERIDs... oh, and most - but not all - are in MIGRAT1 or MIGRAT2 status. Now... if I use the (Library Function) 3.4 Data Set List Utility I can specify a wildcarded string - eg USERID02.TA*.P0* - and the P command-line option; if I log off and Keep my listing dataset I can then use it as input to a DFSORT, taking the listings of USERID02.TA1.P001.NODE1 USERID02.TA1.P001.NODE2 USERID02.TA2.P001.NODE1 USERID02.TA2.P002.NODE2 ... etc. and editing/reformatting them to create another file, consisting of... HDELETE USERID02.TA1.P001.NODE1 HDELETE USERID02.TA1.P001.NODE2 HDELETE USERID02.TA2.P001.NODE1 HDELETE USERID02.TA2.P002.NODE2 ... and use that as a SYSTSIN for an IKJEFT01. For the datasets that aren't archived I can do this again and create an IDCAMS input of DELETE USERID02.TA3.P026.NODE3 ... and get rid of the last.

You should be able to use the LMDLIST service of ISPF to perform a catalog search that would return all the data sets of interest plus some needing to be filtered from the deletion action to a REXX exec (or compiled program if you're more comfortable with that). Then just walk through the list and delete the subset needing that action. You can test your logic by using a SAY statement in REXX to talk about which data sets would have been deleted by development editions of your exec before actually performing deletion.

Re: Noob question regarding zFS
zfs shields Well, that is mostly true. And all true if you require a perfect logical dump of a filesystem. the zfsadm clone command creates a .bak that is should be safe... I can't quite convince the zFS level 2 guys of it though. They are kinda stuck in the perfect logical copy rut. ZFS is journaled filesystem... so in the event that say a system crashes... when the ZFS filesystem is attached recovery is attempted/performed. If there is a problem that recovery can't deal with .. the salvager can be invoked to help recover the filesystem. If I had issued the zfsadm clone for a filesystem, a .bak version would have been created and should be safe (barring physical problem such as disk corruption) and could be mount read only to help recover the filesystem. If the filesystem is hyper-critical.. I am starting to think that the zfsadm clone should be issued multiple times a day. Yep.. there are some holes that could leave you hanging. But, what filesystems are you talking about? /etc .. a heavily update filesystem..*cough* (better not be), /var - well ok.. but they are just logs for the most part, /tmp - shouldn't need this one.. convert to TFS to prevent needing it. ones that get updated all the time.. well those may require a bit more care. Or .. you could always issue the quiese where it is mounted, take a physical backup, and unquiese it where it is mounted. (checking on this one with the ZFS folks) p.s. if it is mounted read-only.. then there is no reason to do the quiese processing. /zfs shields Rob Schramm MVS Cowboy -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aaron Walker Sent: Friday, January 06, 2006 12:47 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Noob question regarding zFS The main thing holding me back from going zFS everywhere (actually, anywhere) is (was?) the dump restriction - to dump them, you have to do it from the system where they are mounted/owned.

Re: FTP userid propagation
I don't think anyone suggested generic IDs. The NETRC data set should be specific to each user authorized to do this, the same way each user has an ISPPROF if they are authorized to use ISPF. Charles Mills [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm not a security guy. I have no idea what the exposures are. I suspect they are between minimal and none. The prospect has simply stated that generic userids are unacceptable and that the remote process must be run under the ID of the originator. That's what I am responding to. I am not in the business of arguing with prospects. You don't make sales arguing with prospects who raise security objections. We have multiple customers doing it the way we do it now with a single highly-restricted generic (to use this prospect's term) ID and no one has reported any problems. No one has had any objections until now. Perhaps I am not understanding you. If you are saying give each user their own NETRC file with UACC(NONE) I think the objection would be the maintenance headache. Each user's password would have to be maintained once in RACF (two instances) and once in their NETRC. I can try proposing that, but what I would REALLY like is what I asked for: some automated way of getting a user here signed on automatically there.
