assign userid to SMS system address space
Hello all, I know that this question has been posted before, but I could not find an answer that I could work with: We are currently implementing the TS7700 tape library, and SMS does not have the authority to issue F OAM, commands. The the ICH408I messages it does not say that USER() but JOB(SMS) has no permission. That is correct because SMS has no userid assigned. How do you assign a userid to the SMS system address space? At this point I have created a userid (DFSMS) and added a profile with the name SMS.* to the STARTED class with in the STDATA segment the userid that is to be assigned, but the system, the SMS address space, does not pick up the userid. thanks in advance...

Re: z/OS PKI Services HostIDMapping format
I have a ticket open with the RDz client issues. IBM hasn't provided a resolution yet. They have been questioning the validity of my certificates, but now that they work on CICS Web Services that issue should not be questioned. All I can think of then is that RACF isn't finding the matching hostname in a hostIdMapping. There doesn't seem to be doc on the specifics of this: upper/lower case, fully qualified or not, CNAMES or only ANAMES, etc. But you got this working with CICS, so presumably you've got it covered. Has IBM asked you for a RACF callable services trace? I still haven't gotten FTP server to work with HostIDMapping. I have another issue with certificates and FTP Server that I opened a ticket with IBM on, so I tacked on a 2nd issue of HostIdMapping not working to see what they say. My FTP tests are with a test server (different RACF system than production CICS web services), so there is a possiblitity of some RACF items missing. But I will try to test this weekend with the FTP server on the same RACF system as the CICS web services.

Re: ICSF KGUP Data Keys
Using the sample utility in the TechDoc would be one solution and I know of customers that are using it, however that implies a couple of things: 1) You have to install and maintain the sample code from the TechDoc (i.e. it is provided 'as is', and for some customers that may not be acceptable) 2) Your key material will exist, at least briefly, in memory when using those ISPF panels, so someone who can view memory could capture your key material 3) And probably most importantly, you need to make sure that the hardcopy of those key parts that are loaded via the panels are stored securely somewhere. An attacker will hit the weakest link, which is probably the file cabinet or drawer where those key parts are stored. You are paying lots of money for the secure key technology, probably not so much for the file cabinet. Another solution might be to simply export your secure keys. That is, you could use a key-export-key (KEK) to encrypt a copy of your operational key and store that encrypted copy in a file somewhere. Or you could use a public pair to encrypt a copy of your operational key and again, store that encrypted copy in a file. If you accidentally delete the operational key from the keystore you would decrypt the backup copy from the file using the KEK or the private key. With this solution, you could still 'shoot yourself in the foot', but you'd have to delete both the original key plus the KEK or the public/private key before you'd be in a bind. Bottom line, is that while the System z crypto technology provides an incredible amount of protection for your key material, your operational procedures are just as important in protecting the crypto infrastructure. If you don't have key integrity (knowing that you have the right keys when you need them) your crypto infrastructure will break down. I'll also agree that if you only have a small number of keys, and they don't change very often, then you don't need a comprehensive key management solution like EKMF or the TKE, however I would suggest that you need some robust local procedures to manage those operational keys.

My concern is not with master keys, only with the data keys (we have tested documented master key recovery procedures). The last half of your answer is a big help. We currently encrypt/decrypt data using one ‘data’ key for all prod data, one key for test, and so on – so we don’t have a high level of change to our key stores. Based on what you pointed out, we could use repro in our current environment, since we use only the CKDS, and the same CKDS on each LPAR (and I do understand that repro is not an ideal recovery choice, and certainly not 100%). My concern would be the deletion of a data key in error and how to recover that key when the key parts are unknown since we use KGUP to automatically generate the key. For example: -KGUP is used to create data key “X”. Data key “X” exists in ICSF memory the CKDS vsam dataset. -Admin mistakenly deletes “X”. We still have data encrypted with “X” - we need to recover “X”. -Without knowing the key parts, we can easily restore the CKDS in its entirety from a backup when “X” existed, but what if additional key changes were made to the CKDS after “X” was deleted, but before the CKDS was restored? Without knowing the parts, at the current time, our only option would be to use REPRO on the missing record(s). So I think I have my answer – Since we shouldn’t rely on IDCAMS REPRO, and to ensure PCI compliancy, we need to create our data keys with ‘known’ key parts and at least install the ISPF panels Rexx that allow dual key entry (not the ICSF ISPF panels used for master keys).

Re: XMLSS performance vs COBOL 4.1 runtime XML

The enhancements you listed (except the last one) are all at the language level.

I'll have to talk to our system capacity and performance team to find that out.

Re: how to know who use system symbols
As you have probably guessed from the previous responses, there are lots of ways the symbols can be used. Trying to find all the places where they are used is going to be complicated. You even many not have read access to some of the datasets where the use appears. One possibility, which I DO NOT recommend, would be to change the value of a symbol you are interested in to one that is invalid in the context it is used. For example, if the symbol is used in a DSN, change its value to !JCLERR!. Then sit back and wait for the howls from upset users. But beware; doing this could cause your system to not IPL. Perhaps if you described why you want to know and precisely what type of info you need, someone could suggest an alternate approach. :: -Original Message- :: From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On :: Behalf Of mvsmain :: Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 12:09 AM :: To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU :: Subject: how to know who use system symbols :: :: Hi all :: :: In our shop there are many system symbols defined.

Help with IEBCOPY?
Dear listeners, I am trying to use IEBCOPY to copy a sequential data set to a partitioned dataset. We are running z/OS V1R13. I looked in the DFSMSdfp Utilities (SC26-7414-07). I found Example 8: Loading a Data Set. However this example says the sequential data set was created using an IEBCOPY unload operation. I found Example 9: Unload Selected Members, Load, Copy and Merge. However the sequential datasets are used as output. I tried C I=INDD1,O=OUTDD1 and S M=(DRSSKEY,KEYLRS). I would like the flat file to be copied into two PDS members in the same dataset. If I can get one member created that would be nice. My problem may be IEBCOPY can't do that.

Re: Help with IEBCOPY?
I don't understand exactly what you want. Do you have a data in a sequential data set and you want to put that same data into a member of a PDS? If yes, then IEBCOPY is the wrong utility. It copies members from one PDS to another, or from an unloaded PDS, which was created with IEBCOPY from a PDS, into a PDS. If you want to copy the data, as is, then used IEBGENER. Point SYSUT1 to the sequential DSN. Point SYSUT2 to the PDS with a member name, e.g. DSN=PDS(MEMBER),DISP=OLD On Wed, Mar 19, 2014 at 11:40 AM, Hansen, Dave L - Eagan, MN dave.l.han...@usps.gov wrote: Dear listeners, I am trying to use IEBCOPY to copy a sequential data set to a partitioned dataset.

Now IEBGENER, Was Help with IEBCOPY?
Gerhard and all, I have been kicking the sample around.

My output is a PDS. Both are predefined. Generate is required for a PDS. MAXNAME is set to 2 because I want to create two members: DRSSKEY and KEYLRS with two MEMBER statements. MAXGRP is set to 1 because I only have 1 GROUP statement. Not sure what GROUP1 does for me, it looks like it's just a label. Member name DRSSKEY works great. I can iebgener a flat file to a PDS member. However, I 'm lost on the IDENT. It talks about editing. If I just key GROUP1 RECORD IDENT it wants more. If I give it the 'FIRSTMEM' it appears to not match and stops with only DRSSKEY created in the PDS from the flat file. IDENT identifies the last record of a collection of records in the input data set. The first RECORD statement (GROUP1) identifies the last record to be placed in the first member. The name of this record (FIRSTMEM) appears in the first eight positions of the input record. This looks to be evaluating what's in my flat file. The remaining MEMBER and RECORD statements define the second and third members. There is no RECORD statement associated with the third MEMBER statement, the remainder of the input file will be loaded as the third member. Do I need to know what's in my input file?

Re: XMLSS performance vs COBOL 4.1 runtime XML
Maybe you might consider to buy a third party XML parser that has proven to be 3 times faster than for example XerCes and is callable from all languages, including PL/1 and C. The parser can be used as a SAX or DOM parser, validating or non validating. If you are interested, please contact me offline. If the PL/1 interface is not usable out of the box for COBOL callers, I will build a COBOL interface for you. Of course, there is a limitation: it cannot be offloaded to a specialty engine.

Any RTFM would be most appreciated, since I can't make any such changes myself but have to refer them to my systems programming group for consideration. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: Help with IEBCOPY?
After reading your OP, I think TSO XMIT would do what you want. You can create a transportable file that you then TSO RECEIVE into the data set on the other end. See if that will work for you. You would need an IEBCOPY UNLOADed dataset to use as INPUT to another IEBCOPY process to load the file back as a PDS. TSO XMIT/RECEIVE is a nicer process.

Dear listeners, I am trying to use IEBCOPY to copy a sequential data set to a partitioned dataset. We are running z/OS V1R13. I looked in the DFSMSdfp Utilities (SC26-7414-07). I found Example 8: Loading a Data Set. However this example says the sequential data set was created using an IEBCOPY unload operation. I found Example 9: Unload Selected Members, Load, Copy and Merge. However the sequential datasets are used as output. I tried C I=INDD1,O=OUTDD1 and S M=(DRSSKEY,KEYLRS). I would like the flat file to be copied into two PDS members in the same dataset. If I can get one member created that would be nice. My problem may be IEBCOPY can't do that. My messages are: FCO105I C I=INDD1,O=OUTDD1 FCO105I S M=(DRSSKEY,KEYLRS) FCO110I LOADING TO PDSE OUTDD=OUTD1 VOL=xxx DSN= xxx FCO111I FROM PDSU INDD=INDD1 VOL=xx DSN=xxx FCO710A SYNADAF DATA - 618F,D,INDD1 ,UNKNOWN,WRNG.LEN.RECORD,087800,BSAM FCO702A DSN IN ERROR = xxx FCO701A DDNAME INDD1 PERMANENT I/O ERROR WHEN READING UNLOADED DATASET BLOCK 1 The first message FCO710A says there is more information in FCO700A. The second message FCO701A says it's trying to read from the unloaded dataset. Q). Can I use IEBCOPY to copy a flat file to a PDS? Q). I am running a REXX exec using IEBCOPY. Would you recommend a different approach for my REXX exec?

Re: Now IEBGENER, Was Help with IEBCOPY?
Wow, so much batch! How about ISPF EDIT sequential file CUT A CUT B Edit PDS(A) PASTE A EDIT PDS(B) PASTE B Sri gave the solution I would have used, ie IEBUPDTE since the subject of a RECEIVE can be anything you decide, two RECEIVES with OUTDSN(PDS(A)) OUTDSN(PDS(B)) would be another non-batch method. The plain old IEBGENER would be best batch option for a non-source type dataset, since IEBUPDTE is for 80 byte cards On Thu, Mar 20, 2014 at 12:03 PM, Paul Gilmartin paulgboul...@aim.comwrote: On 2014-03-19 15:04, Hansen, Dave L - Eagan, MN wrote: I have been kicking the sample around. ...
