Re: Non-reentrant code question
I assume you have the program linked as non-reentrant? If so, examine your C or L/E compile/runtime options as there may be something there that is forcing the rununit to be reentrant. If you still can't see it, change your driver to assembler (or add another) and do a load/branch for the subroutine. This should definately load it into modifiable storage. If you call it multiple times do the load on first time only and save the address. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: VTAM security issue
Jim FUD! There's quite a lot needs straightening out here! 1. It is very much in general inappropriate to associate security with only with VTAM. It is very likely to be more appropriate to use the term SNA security. 2. If we are talking about long ago, with respect to security at the session level as opposed to connections, there has been session encryption support since the dawn of SNA. With the development of LU 6.2, the usual userid and password security has been architected with a variety of levels of flexibility/exposure to apply at the level of the conversation/transaction. In addition, there are a variety of RACF definitions associated with potentially tight control of the VTAM APPC API. 3. If we are talking about security at the level of connections as opposed to sessions, then you have a point that the leased SNA line between subarea nodes was considered not to need security protocols to be imposed upon it. From the time that switched support was introduced for subarea connections, a protocol was introduced - also within NCP - in order to assure that both sides of the connection knew a key value which did *not* pass over the link and could not be sniffed. Note that, for SNI, which is, of course, a major concern - perhaps the *only* real concern as far as this post is concerned, the types of connections are subarea connections. No such security protocol exists for switched peripheral connections so I guess you could regard that as some sort of exposure although, in principle, peripheral connections operate within the control of one SNA subnetwork. 4. I take your point that SNA expertise is on the decline. It becomes evident from the following sentence that, by attempt it, you mean to *apply* security to an SNA environment. Furthermore, you seem to be concerned particularly about session establishment within an SNI environment. Initially I thought that, by attempt it, you might mean *break into* an SNA environment! 5. The VTAM Session Management Exit (SME) is fully documented in the Communications Server SNA Customization manual - even in the last year or two actually made available on IBM web pages. By scanning the control blocks, it is very easy to see what information is available to the SME and hence what can be formatted for presentation. As an aid to VTAM education, I wrote an extensive set of VTAM exits long ago which universally simply presented the information available to the exits on the system log. The SME was one of these but admittedly the biggest by far. I really can't see that you need have been surprised by what information an SME implementation could present you. You needed only a little research of the manual! I can't see what scared you silly. Just having some familiarity with the content of the SNA requests used in session setup within an SNI environment would indicate what information was freely available to anyone succeeding in tapping the line, a major subset of which is made available to the SME. 6. Jumping into an existing session is very unhelpful about the session endpoints, the identity of typically the two LUs involved - unless it's the transaction traffic you are after. If indeed, it is the latter and you are worried about tapping into the traffic, you should use the session encryption to which I have already referred. 7. You make a reference to session types - although I can't understand how you can equate SNI and LU6/0/1/2, they have orthogonal significance: SNI provides the ability to transport a session of any type over subarea connections between subnetworks having different network identifiers (NetIDs). SNI and session types are not somehow mutually exclusive. This looks like some manifestation of the path to extinct expertise! On the other hand this may be some sort of shorthand within the customization of the particular firewall product you have in mind. Is there any reason why you haven't stated what it is? 8. Your point about company X with NetID X supporting companies A and B with NetIDs A and B is presumably that company A can see the session setup attempts with NetID B and vice versa. It is an awareness of definition facilities similar to those which the OP had forgotten about - if he ever knew them - which can be used to prevent leakage of cross-domain initiate (CDINIT) requests into inappropriate subnetworks. Again it looks like a case of the flexible approach involving least effort having become the one everyone uses to the extent that everyone has forgotten about the more troublesome to define but more restrictive approach - if it is not a case of the person who did know having been let go. Note that, when company X was IBM, the folk in charge of the SNI configuration would have understood - because I used to teach a major subset of them! - the problem of irrelevant CDINIT traffic and I would have expected they made sure that attached customer networks were protected from

Re: Assembler TCP/IP
(A) Yes - and if the subtask is going to TakeSocket pay attention to the SUBTASK= keyword (B) The way I have implemented this in the past is to have the mother task pass a parameter list to the daughter subtasks that includes the address of the EZASMI GLOBAL area - and then each subtask will obtain its own task storage (TIE). Another couple of points : (1) If you are writing anything non-trivial, then I would advise using the ASYNC ECB flavour of EZASMI. (2) Before calling the send/recv interfaces, setup a timer and add its ECB to an ECBLIST along with the ECB for the EZASMI call (and also your STC stop ECB maybe) - this will help situations where communications are lost midway thru a conversation and your EZASMI call hangs.

Re: APF authorize libraries
Most applications run in problem state key 8. Some functions need to be performed in supervisor state or a storage key other than 8. There are 2 basic ways to do this. 1. Use an assist routine (SVC, PC, ...). This works fine for casual, well defined use. 2. Use something like MODESET to change state or key. This requires the requesting program to be APF authorized. An APF authorized program must have the APF flag turned on in the directory AND the library must be APF authorized, hence the reason to APF authorize the library. If the APF library is part of a concatenation, such as STEPLIB, then all libraries in the concatenation must be APF authorized or the library looses it authorization. This is to prevent a bogus program from being loaded in an authorized environment. In our environment APF libraries are UACC of NONE. Change to the libraries is highly controlled. Access is preferred via link list. When direct access is required, the user must be placed in the access list.

How to define FTP VOLUMES for Filezila FTP Client
Hello, I just installed Filezilia Ftp Client and configure it to access z/VM user mdisks or sfs directories. I can access to z/OS PDS members, but I can´t access files located in FTP defined disks. I know I´m missing something, but where? When I logon using IBMUSER user, I can select in remote site all pds members. How can access files (not pds members) in FTP data disks to start ftp from mainframe to desktop?

If the problem occurs within your site, your site has a process problem. One of a very difficult type because its resolution is necessarily more political than technical (You can't tell *me* I can't call *my* tape BT2092!). (We temporarily varied the disk volume offline.) If the conflicting tape is an interchange volume, you've encountered a global problem. The global solution is for some industry-wide organization (e.g. SHARE or IBM) to assume the responsibility of reserving a range or pattern of VOLSERs for interchange media. Several decades ago, SHARE had a project to register unique VOLSER prefixes world-wide. I assume this was Overcome By Events: name space exhaustion. The Right Solution would be to enlarge the VOLSER name space, so you could use, e.g. BT2092.dasdvol.SOGEI.IT. I expect this not to happen, not only for technical reasons but also because of the perception that data interchange will increasingly be via Internet rather than by interchange of physical media. OS X provides a useful solution: when I mount a volume with a duplicate ID, the OS assigns a generated name and mounts that. It's the my responsibility to be aware which I'm using. But I don't have the anquish of BLP. -- gil -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: UNABLE TO FIND ERROR MESSAGE EXPLANATION - ADR849E
Space Efficient Volumes is a new feature of FlashCopy and is only available with the new DS8000 DASD boxes. When a normal volume is created it occupies the defined capacity on the physical drives. A space efficient volume does not occupy physical capacity when it is created. Space gets allocated when data is actually written to the volume. The amount of space that gets physically allocated is a function of the amount of data changes that are performed on a volume. There is a IBM Redbook that discusses the FlashCopy SE and its uses. It came out in February of 2008.

Space Efficient FlashCopy - This new function allows a customer to perform a FlashCopy to a target that is a space efficient volume, which is intended to use only the amount of storage needed by the copy. Physical space for space efficient volumes is allocated on a track by track basis from a repository in the storage subsystem. DUMP FCWITHDRAW - The existing volume initialization function will release the physical space previously allocated to the space efficient target volume and initialize the volume. Exploitation of this new function on the D/T2107 storage subsystem requires this PTF and a microcode (LMC) upgrade. See ++HOLD(EC) for the required microcode upgrade. Additional DFSMSdss problems fixed: 1. MSGADR815W message was issued with truncated reason code. The message text exceeded the maximum length allowed. DFSMSdss has been modified to remove THE from the ADR815W message text. 2. MSGADR819E was received. The message should have been ADR819W. In addition, the message text contained extraneous RETINFO:.

Re: DFSMS alloc SAME-VOLSER on TAPE or DISK
Michele, If you use DFSMSrmm as your tape management system, you can add this tape volume to rmm and then use it ok. rmm allows you to add a tape volume and give it something like an alias.

Anyone using Tidal Scheduler on z/OS?
Hello everyone, I'm looking for information from anyone using Tidal Enterprise Scheduler prior to getting a vendor dog-and-pony show next week with people from other platforms. Is anyone out there using Tidal Enterprise Scheduler to run jobs/schedules on z/OS? Any comments, complaints, likes, dislikes or general thoughts about the product and its functionality? If you do have it. It looks like it runs via an agent on z/OS, how is it on resources? We currently run Jobtrac and use a lot of its additional functionality for automation of both tasks, schedules and JCL. Does Tidal's product offer comparable functionality to your knowledge.

Re: Data Encryption Product Limits: 300 Datasets per month
I am looking into RACF certificates to handle Key Management, early stages looks doable. Am by far no expert in all the terminology for those on my Team handle all the details. In general indeed the KEYS are maintained by z/OS RACF and along with ICSF give us a doable, secure option. The intent for encryption is for data export or to secure the backup tapes sent offsite. This is why the very, very inexpensive Crypto engines were procured to handle the key issues. In general we have a co-processor available for each CP engine which can fire. Also we have one Accelerator for each CP engine configured for use. The Key management is quite easy if one starts out with generating your own Public/Private Keys pairs and giving out the Public key to the world for Data Exchange Partners to use when sending us their data. We ask for the partners Public key to store for when we send them data. This all goes into RACF. Now the difficulty comes when a partner wants us to use a Symmetric Key or PassPhrase. Communicating this key should not be done in writing such as e- mails, etc, unless it is encrypted by some other means. Then we have to maintain it someplace secure which leads to a number of folks knowing it; Public Keys are very much preferred. I do agree the overhead of storing encrypted data on the machine and accessing it encrypted, decrypting it on the fly, using it and rewriting it encrypted is off in the future. jim -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: RSU and storage reconfiguration
Jim, thanks for that clarification. To support internal DR testing, we've defined reserved storage on a few LPARs for years. We've never had the problem of an LPAR grabbing the RSU as non-reconfigurable, but all of our LPARs by standard use Load Clear. We got lucky, I guess. Also, these LPARs include in COMMNDxx a CF ONLINE for Element 1, meaning that the storage is available pretty early in the IPL. Even so, CF OFFLINE generally goes reasonably fast in advance of DR testing. In other words, the timing for bringing RSU online may not be as significant as it once was. . .

Re: Data Encryption Product Limits: 300 Datasets per month
Kevin, A couple of items. Of course, CA Tape Encryption can encrypt directly both DFDSS and FDR output so there would be no need for an additional product. However, because you want to encrypt more files than you are currently licensed for if you simply encrypt all full-volume backups that presents a problem. The easiest way of course is to simply increase your license to the un-limited version; but you are attempting to save money. Likewise, getting another product to handle encryption of specific files (DFDSS or FDR) would also cost additional money. If you have the Sun/STK ExHPDM, then you can combine the backups of 4, 5, or even 8 full-volume backups (either DFDSS or FDR) onto a single tape file; but again if you do not have that product in-house you are talking about spending more money. As Radoslaw pointed out, asymetric encryption is VERY high-cost in terms of CPU cycles and the run-time is horrible. That is why most tape encryption is done with symetric encryption and the symetric key itself is then encrypted with an asymetric encryption method. This is done by CA Tape Encryption as well as by the native IBM 3592/TS1120/TS1130 devices. You also indicated that you are now looking at the new devices, to allow you to offload the cylces needed for encryption (which would cost even more money). Another way to offload the cpu cycles is getting a zIIP engine. CA Tape Encryption was one of the earliest exploiters of the zIIP; which then acts as a very simple way to offload the cycles. As as Jim mentioned, when you are talking about data-exchange with business partners (or some government agency); then key management agains gets very tricky. But again, CA Tape Encryption has the ability to allow your business partner to get a no-cost license for CA Tape Encryption so that they can read your encrypted tapes (after exchanging the public-half of an asymetric key of course).

The option that Mike presents (giving the tape volume an alias volser) eliminates the need for using BLP. This option is also available if your tape management system is CA-1. With CA-1, this feature is called AIVS (Alternate Internal Volume Serial); and you can use the ISPF panels to assign. This is also quite useful when doing a merge of one data center into another. With the CA-1 TMSMERGE utility, you can assign a new unique external volume serial number to an entire range of volumes being received.

Here's a Web link that should work: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PK16580 Wherein I read: Note: As suggested by RACF, if you use a mix of applications that do an do not support mixed-case passwords, do not activate the SETROPTS PASSWORD(MIXEDCASE) option in RACF and do not activate MIXCASE in NVAS. ??? I don't understand how this works. I would expect that if the SETROPTS PASSWORD(MIXEDCASE) option in RACF is inactive, the setting of MIXCASE in NVAS should have no effect and be irrelevant. What do these settings actually do? How do they interact? what is the (adverse) effect of leaving one active and the other inactive? -- gil -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
