The list of IBM default RACF POSIT values?
Cross post to IBM-MAIN and RACF-L I have tried my best to find some sort of cross reference between IBM default RACF classes and POSIT values, but all I have found is a list of POSIT numbers reserved for IBM use.

If I understand the question correctly, Appendix C of the RACF MACROS AND INTERFACES manual contains a list of the IBM supplied CDT, with POSIT numbers for each class.

Re: Real purpose of hipersocket
The real purpose of Hipersockets is fast LAN (TCP/IP) communication between LPARs inside single CPC. With no real add-on hardware like OSA card. With no chance for intruders. With the best performance possible. It cannot replace CTC. However many CTC exploiters can use TCP/IP links instead of CTC (see below). It can be used for NJE, because nowadays NJE can use TCP/IP links. Of course there's still natural limitation to LPARs inside single CPC. Last, but not least: it's free.

Re: Real purpose of hipersocket
Hipersockets are *MUCH MUCH* faster than exiting one LPAR and returning to another via OSA cards. This is done via an internal memory to memory transfer. All of the OSA overhead as well as the network latency are eliminated. However, as all LPAR's are in the same SYSPLEX, all of the data should be accessible from any of the members of the sysplex, So the question becomes what is the benefit? IMO, the benefit of HIPERSOCKETS in the described situation is minimal. HTH, So apart from above is there any compelling reason to use hipersocket if the all the LPARS are in same sysplex.

Re: DFHSM CDS backup versions
So, having restored all the systems we had backed up, I can now re-visit this. Is dfHSM defined as an EDM (External Data Manager) to dfRMM? If not, there is a section in the dfHSM Installation and Customization Guide on how to do this. Allan, I can't find a dfHSM Installation and Customization Guide. I do have a DFSMShsm Implementation and Customization Guide, but can't find anything in there about making RMM an EDM. It does however say things like "DFSMShsm invokes the EDGTVEXT exit to communicate the status of empty tapes to DFSMSrmm" and I also fond "DFSMSrmm uses the EDGDFHSM programming interface to release DFSMShsm tape volumes. The interface between DFSMShsm and DFSMSrmm is automatically in place when you install DFSMS, so you do not need to take any action to activate it or to call it." So that seems to say that RMM knows all about HSM, and there is no need to define HSM to RMM. Can someone please confirm this assumption? Please post the LV display for one of your DFHSM tapes.

Re: DFHSM CDS backup versions
So, having found that these tapes are a VITAL RECORD,
I found the following VRS: -
HSM.%CDS.BACKUP.V¬¬¬ and HSM.JRNL.BACKUP.V¬¬¬
HSM.%CDS.BACKUP.V¬¬¬ has the following: -

HSM.JRNL.BACKUP.V¬¬¬ has the same configuration.
The RMM implementation and customisation guide says: -
To keep all cycles of DFSMShsm control data set and journal backup tapes until
DFSMShsm releases them, issue RMM ADDVRS subcommands as shown: -
RMM ADDVRS DSNAME('authid.%CDS.BACKUP.V¬¬¬') -
COUNT(9) CYCLES
RMM ADDVRS DSNAME('authid.JRNL.BACKUP.V¬¬¬') -
COUNT(9) CYCLES
So these definitions seem to be correct?

Re: Real purpose of hipersocket
Z/OS 2.2 also provides SMC-D, which I am eager to get a chance to play with.

Re: DFHSM CDS backup versions
The definitions are correct (FSVO correct). However, I think RMM is "ignoring"
what HSM is telling it due to the cycle count specified.
Try changing the "count" in the VRS to a "more reasonable (FSVO reasonable)
value.
e.g. 10 and see if the tapes release.
Reasonable should be somewhat in excess of the requirements for the number of
CDS backup versions, but not excessive.
So, having found that these tapes are a VITAL RECORD, I found the following
VRS: -
HSM.%CDS.BACKUP.V¬¬¬ and HSM.JRNL.BACKUP.V¬¬¬
HSM.%CDS.BACKUP.V¬¬¬ has the following: -
Data set mask . : 'HSM.%CDS.BACKUP.V¬¬¬' GDG . : NO
Job name mask . :
Count . . . : 9 Retention type . . . . . : CYCLES
While cataloged . . . . . : NO
Delay . . . : 0 Days Until expired . . . . . . : NO
Location . . . . . : HOME
Number in location : 9
Priority . . . . . : 0
Release options:
Next VRS in chain . : Expiry date ignore . . . : NO
Chain using . . : Scratch immediate . . . . : NO
HSM.JRNL.BACKUP.V¬¬¬ has the same configuration.
The RMM implementation and customisation guide says: - To keep all
cycles of DFSMShsm control data set and journal backup tapes until DFSMShsm
releases them, issue RMM ADDVRS subcommands as shown: -
RMM ADDVRS DSNAME('authid.%CDS.BACKUP.V¬¬¬') -
COUNT(9) CYCLES
RMM ADDVRS DSNAME('authid.JRNL.BACKUP.V¬¬¬') -
COUNT(9) CYCLES
So these definitions seem to be correct?

I'd like to fix it, but it's not obvious to me what needs to be done. We look at dumps from all sorts of z/OS levels, so on our main Support image (currently running z/OS 2.2) we have a list of MIGLIBs and a little bit of REXX to present a menu and set IPCS up for the appropriate dump. Just now I'm looking at a customer dump from z/OS 2.1, and getting the bogus GETMAIN for X'7FFF4000' bytes. Do I understand correctly that the problem lies in the 2.1 MIGLIB I'm using on this z/OS 2.2 system? If so, how can I get a suitable 2.1 MIGLIB to copy to this image - in other words how can I ensure that the fix is applied? Do I need to make sure OA43495 (or its 2.1 PTF) is applied on a 2.1 system, and only then recopy MIGLIB? Or is there a way I can apply the maintenance directly to the 2.1 MIGLIB on the 2.2 system? Clearly the copy used just for IPCS doesn't need to be formally maintained, though it would doubtless be a good idea. Or... Have I misunderstood: Is the problem not with the 2.1 MIGLIB at all? Is there perhaps maintenance needed to z/OS 2.2 IPCS itself? Also FWIW, APAR OA45781 is not known to any IBM service I have access to. Thanks for any pointers!

I've been disliking the *old* KC so much that I almost always discarded any search result that pointed to the KC. I must admit that I do quite like the new KC. It is much faster than the old KC; I'd say very well usable. It provides good navigation posibilities *once* you get uses to open the tree view by clicking in the upper left corner. Search has given me good results do far. It's using a useful font size. I like the fact that (sometimes) you can switch between z/OS Versions while staying at the current topic: Sometimes there is a little drop down besides the topic which alliow this switch. What I absoultely dislike is the fact that it does not seem to work well with IE, probably when accessed from behind company paranoia firewall and filtering mechanisms. I would like to see KC keeping the state of the tree view in a cookie. So I always get the last view I chose, which in a desktop probably would always be with the tree visible. Been using it on Windows7 with IE (since I'm force to in the office), and Firefox at home. Also on my iPad using Safari and Mercury browsers. Those seem to have slight difficulties scrolling the tree view, but otherwise the KC works quite well on the iPad (iOS 9.3) --Peter Hunkeler -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
