I used to look at the list online. The biggest problem I had is remembering where you were. If I forgot to write down the post number, it was hard to find just where I left off. Also, the only quick way to navigate from post to post was to click on the next button. If I had to do something else and I was half way through the posts overnight, it was hard to figure out where I left off. Our internet connection at work made you log back on if you didn't use it for 20 minutes or so.

Re: ReSolver issue
I'm trying to setup a default revolver using Local Hosts file on MVS. When using FTP under TSO it's able to find the Server name, but if I try a batch job it does not locate the same Server name. What do I need to code in the JCL to locate the correct Server using Local Hosts? Rogers Rogers, Be sure to set up all local hosts sources according to the hierarchy specified in the manual. I've found that many TCP/IP applications ignore the hierarchy and require etc/hosts, so be sure to set up an etc/hosts file in the HFS.

Re: Resolver Issue (was Revolver Issue)
Rogers, In principle, you get about 2,200 folk on this list as opposed to only about 850 on the IBMTCP-L list, a potential increase of 1,350 (assuming the IBMTCP-L list is completely included in this list), but, that said, you'll probably pick up the same old names responding to this issue that you got on IBMTCP-L - maybe a few more who are too busy to bother with more than the list which mainly covers their interests. In case you didn't see the response I sent you yesterday - well, it's yesterday here but I guess it's today for you even if it is the evening - I'll post it here too - with some additions. Oh - and I see somebody's already cracked a Smith and Wesson joke so I won't bother. g copies Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibmtcp-l Date: Wed, 10 May 2006 15:49:03 +0200 ... From: Chris Mason [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Using TCPIP Hosts file Rogers, Sorry for the late response. I'm trying to catch up. How do we know that the batch FTP job is using a TCPIP.DATA file which allows the HOSTS.ADDRINFO and HOSTS.SITEINFO you set up to be found and accessed? What name were you using in place of the hlq Brian mentioned? By default it should be TCPIP. On the other hand, your HOSTS.LOCAL, HOSTS.ADDRINFO and HOSTS.SITEINFO may be qualified by your TSO userid. You need to make sure which of the files in the famous table in section 1.2.8.2, Resolver configuration files, in the CS IP Configuration Guide will apply to your batch FTP job.

Subject: Re: [IBMTCP-L] Using TCPIP Hosts file Rogers, The HOSTS file is one way to do it; the other is to point your IP stack at an outboard Domain Name Server. (Well, you could also bring up a z/OS DNS, but that's not a quick and easy thing.)Anyhow, for the host file update to take effect: 1) EDIT hlq.HOSTS.LOCAL file, making changes as needed 2) TSO command MAKESITE HLQ=hlq (this creates / updates hlq.HOSTS.ADDRINFO and hlq.HOSTS.SITEINFO using the source code from step 1 as input) 3) CONSOLE command F RESOLVER,REFRESH Regards, Brian P. /copies The possible ways to find the local host tables are as follows: 1. X_SITE environment variable 2. X_ADDR environment variable 3. /etc/hosts 4. userid.HOSTS.INFO 5. jobname.HOSTS.INFO 6. hlq.HOSTS.INFO 7. GLOBALIPNODES 8. RESOLVER_IPNODES environment 9. userid.ETC.IPNODES 10. jobname.ETC.IPNODES 11. hlq.ETC.IPNODES 12. DEFAULTIPNODES 13. /etc/ipnodes Why such a ridiculously complicated list? I hear you ask. Well, you're right. It's history and the firm IBM commitment - well, almost firm - never to allow anything that worked in the last release not work in this release. And it's not that long a history either - something a little over 10 years. First there was TCP/IP for VM which did everything by allocating, typically - maybe exclusively - sequential data sets dynamically - because that's the way CMS is. Perhaps I should say before the beginning was an idea that an RFC which suggested that local name files should have the peculiar format you've been using for the source should be used instead of the more simple layout favoured by UNIX systems.Then TCP/IP for VM was ported to TCP/IP for MVS. This sort-of accounts for the 4, 5 and 6 options, one of which - and we've got to work out which one - you've been using . Then the Unix System Services stuff got added to z/OS and its ancestors, the resolver got to become a separate address space and the local host table got to use the UNIX-like format. I expect if I tried really hard I could come up with a justification for all the other options based on all these enhancements. Unfortunately I haven't been following TCP/IP for MVS - morphing into Communications Server IP - closely for most of the last 10 years so I can't say from where the inspiration for all of these accretions arose. Perhaps somebody still reading feel sufficiently inspired so to do. Checking the manual later, I discovered that another complicating influence is whether the IP address is V4 or might also be V6. As I said, we need
