Re: Automation Software and Replacing AF/Operator?

2014-06-05 Thread Timothy Sipples
Withdrawal from marketing does not mean withdrawal from service. IBM has
not announced an end of service date for AF/OPERATOR Version 3.4.1, and as
far as I'm aware there are no plans to do so.

There are two core automation tools for z/OS that IBM continues to market:
IBM Tivoli System Automation for z/OS (TSAz) and IBM Automation Control for
z/OS (ACz). If your automation requirements tend to be quite advanced, TSAz
is generally the better choice. Otherwise, take a look at ACz, a new option
introduced in 2013. Since these two tools are built on common technology
foundations you can start with ACz then move to TSAz if your requirements
grow (e.g. GDPS). Or in some cases it may make sense in multi-machine
environments to have ACz on one or a couple machines and TSAz on others.
For example, if you have one machine placed in a remote country you might
equip it with ACz while using TSAz back in your home office on your core
Sysplex. (Operational practices and skills are very consistent.) Tivoli
NetView for z/OS is a prerequisite for TSAz but not for ACz.

But there's certainly no emergency or urgency here. If AF/OPERATOR
continues to meet all your needs, no problem.

My personal view is that this withdrawal from marketing makes sense given
the debut and success of ACz, a tool that frankly filled a gap in IBM's
automation offerings, e.g. automation for many new z/OS customers (and for
z/OS customers new to automation). TSAz is now a very straightforward
upgrade from ACz -- the EC and the BC in the automation toolset, as it
were. As another example, there are a lot of customers not running GDPS
today who would at least like that option in the future, and again ACz is a
great choice because you can roll right into TSAz (and one or more of the
GDPS offerings) when/if the time comes. Automation has become part of a
much bigger picture, in other words.

All that said, I like AF/OPERATOR. If you've got it, and it's doing the
job, no problem, stay with it. If there's something in TSAz (or ACz) that
attracts you, OK, have a chat with your friendly IBM representative. That
migration is non-trivial but a well-worn, successful path.

Re: How can I find out ITM version in z/OS.

2014-06-05 Thread Sebastian Welton
I tend to look in the RKLVLOG of the CMS and the first message should be 
KLVST045, a bit like the following:

BASIC SERVICES DRIVER: tms_ctbs623fp4:d3203a

which tells me it is version 6.2.3 with fixpack 4 and the driver level. Also 
doing a search for 'Component: kds' in the RKLVLOG will point you to this 
information. If it was installed using ICAT then starting that will also get 
you to this information.

HTH,

Sebastian

Use of the xxxx AND TRAP instructions - future direction?

2014-06-05 Thread John McKown
I'm curious if anyone has heard when/if z/OS will support the trap
facility via a supported API. In order to allow the various ... AND TRAP
instructions. Or is use of the TRAP facility one of those nice ideas but
not really useful things? E.g. why would I use a LOAD AND TRAP to, as
the book says, to load a register and trap if it is zero (to stop use of a
NULL pointer) instead of a LOAD AND TEST followed by a BRANCH? I can see
where use of the LOAD AND TRAP would be a nice way for, say, the C run-time
to set itself up to trap use of NULL pointers.

But I wonder if this was where the hardware people and the software people
didn't really talk. Or maybe I'm just a neutronium head (dense).

Policy Agent, AT-TLS, and Ciphersuites

2014-06-05 Thread Frank Chu

Hello,

I am trying to work out how to get the zOS 1.13 FTP client to connect to 
a FTP server (a FileZilla Server on Windows) via FTPS.   I'm am having 
trouble getting Policy Agent setup to use the correct cipher suites.


In the Policy Agent configuration, I have the following:

TTLSCipherParms   cipher1~Default_Ciphers
{
  V3CipherSuites  TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
  V3CipherSuites  TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
  V3CipherSuites  TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
  V3CipherSuites  TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
  V3CipherSuites  TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
  V3CipherSuites  TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
  V3CipherSuites TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
  V3CipherSuites  TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
  V3CipherSuites TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
  V3CipherSuites  TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
  V3CipherSuites  TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
  V3CipherSuites  TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
  V3CipherSuites  TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
  V3CipherSuites  TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
  V3CipherSuites  TLS_DH_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
}


However, when I fire up Policy Agent, it complains that all of these 
ciphers are invalid and discards my policy.I tried changing to 
different ciphers and I do find 2 that is accepted but those either 50 
bit DES or no encryption at all.  So not very useful.   The FileZilla 
Server uses Protocol: TLS1.0, Key exchange: RSA, Cipher: AES-256-CBC, 
MAC: SHA1.


F GSKSRV,DISPLAY CRYPTO   shows that I do not have not AES either in 
hardware or software, that explains the invalid ciphers.


GSK01009I Cryptographic status 681
Algorithm   HardwareSoftware
DES 56  56
3DES--  --
AES --  --
RC2 --  40
RC4 --  40
RSA Encrypt --4096
RSA Sign--4096
DSS --1024
SHA-1  160 160
SHA-2  512 512
ECC --  --


But in my TCPIP joblog, System SSL indicates that AES 256 crypto assist 
is available:


System SSL: SHA-1 crypto assist is available
System SSL: SHA-224 crypto assist is available
System SSL: SHA-256 crypto assist is available
System SSL: SHA-384 crypto assist is available
System SSL: SHA-512 crypto assist is available
System SSL: DES crypto assist is available
System SSL: DES3 crypto assist is available
System SSL: AES 128-bit crypto assist is available
System SSL: AES 256-bit crypto assist is available
System SSL: ICSF services are not available



So the question is how do I get AES enabled in zOS?  I thought AES 256 
was supported by the base zOS 1.13, but it looks like I am wrong. Do I 
need to fire up ICSF?  Is there an APAR that needs to be installed?



Any help is appreciated.

No I don't.  Looks like due to export restrictions, it is (along with 
several others) are removed from the ADCD versions of zOS. Guess I'll 
have to get that ordered and installed.


Thanks
Frank

If anyone has a copy of the Westinghouse Fast Dump Restore for DOS
please see that it gets scanned for posterity and saved somewhere like
bitsavers.  The glossary of terms such as BJF - botched job
foreground, APAR - All Problems are (Just) Recorded, VSAM - Very Slow
Access Method and the dissertations in the appendix such as why they
refused to have a no label option for tape and the receiving of a dump
with mismatch of R- and track address are classic.  Obviously the
Westinghouse legal department never read it.

TS7740 Migration to New Data Center

2014-06-05 Thread Joe Ogle
Hello all - 

Have a client with a two cluster TS7740 grid with TS3500 backstore. All 
but 6TB of 600TB of tape resides in the backstore, and time in cache for a 
given vtape is about a week. 

Client is migrating data centers - has purchased duplicate config for 
their new location, and we're adding those to the existing grid to affect 
the replication. 

Boxing up the physical cartridges and overnighting is not in play for 
reasons I'm not privy to. We're having to engineer a way to do this via 
copy consistency on the grid. 

Trying to figure out a largely hands-off way to get a vtape loaded to 
cache from the backstore such that it will trigger a pull from the 
destination cluster via copy consistency settings and then force it off 
the cache when done. And of course, I have to throttle this in a way that 
I don't fill the cache in a manner that an unacceptable number of 
production mounts are pulled from the backstore. 

Bonus functionality would be to get this to load all vtapes stored on a 
single 3592 so I'm not hanging/reading the same cartridge multiple times. 

I can't see a way to make this happen via LIBRARY commands,  Sitting in 
front of a browser clicking on the TS7740 MI's and doing this manually has 
little appeal, but I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions would be most welcome 
and appreciated.

Re: TS7740 Migration to New Data Center

2014-06-05 Thread Graham Harris
The way we load things into cache is to use the BVIR logical-to-physical
mapping report to build JCL streams to reference the logical tapes to bring
them into the cache, with a single physical mount.  Can't help you with
removing from the cache, but would interested if you do find out!  Thought
i did find a LIBRARY command to remove things from cache at one point,
 but it didnt appear to do anything.
