Every time one specific z/os system IPLs, I have to enter:
0,clpa
on the console to get it to continue. I have other machines that do not prompt. 
What can I set to avoid having to enter this response during ipl?

Re: 0,clpa

[Jesse 1 Robinson]

(Once again my proof reader dozed.) 

Friday reverie. I remember when and why we inserted CLPA into IEASYSxx. Mid 
1980s. Up to that time disk was considered to be 'slow enough' as to relegate 
CLPA to specific situations where 'we' (mighty all-knowing sysprogs) knew that 
LPA had changed in some way since the previous IPL. One day we had a system 
crash with no operators around. We had to roll up our sleeves and save the day. 
The chalk board on the wall told us which sysres volume to IPL from. Since it 
was a simple down-and-up situation, no CLPA was needed.

We began getting the weirdest abend reports. We experienced them ourselves. 
After much consternation, we determined that we had IPLed from the wrong 
sysres. Chalk board was wrong. Without CLPA, we were mixing down-level link 
list with newer LPA list. Random mismatches, random kabooms. We reIPLed the 
correct way, all better.

At the next Change Control meeting, we announced that from then on every IPL 
would be CLPA. Skepticism abounded but did NOT prevail. I don't think anyone 
ever actually perceived a difference in IPL time. For sure we never had another 
LINK/LPA mismatch.

Re: Encryption keys and EM waves

[Phil Smith III]

As JC Ewing notes, this requires pretty well complete control, including being 
able to force an operation and knowing when that happens. Just having the phone 
isn't going to do you any good. Remember that these wee devices are doing a lot 
all the time-I'd be unsurprised to learn that you also need to not have any 
other apps running. For example, my HTC 10 has 8 cores, several of which are 
doing *something* at any given instant. So this is like sniffing a single 
whispered syllable in a crowded room: you likely need to be near the person and 
get everyone else to shut up, and know when the speaker is going to utter it.

 

Like most such attacks, it's far too theoretical to worry about IMHO.

Re: SHARE handouts

[John Eells]

Perhaps incorrectly, I thought everything uploaded by any presenter was 
available for the most recent conference, but prior ones were available 
to SHARE members only.


That said, if anyone wants any of mine, just send me a note.

R.S. wrote:

Is there any repository for SHARE conference materials?
Sometimes it's possible to download the PDF file and sometimes not.
I guess SHARE is not interested in sharing that outside the organisation 
(at least not just in time of conference), however many presentations 
are available.

What are the rules? What are the links for download? Are there any rules?

BTW: From copyright point of view, as far as I understand the 
presentation is owned by the author and usually author is willing to 
*share* it...

Re: 0,clpa

[Keith Smith]

It is int the IEASYSxx member

CLPA Causes NIP to load the link pack area with the modules contained in
the LPALST concatenation. Also, CLPA purges VIO data set pages that were
used in the previously initialized system. Thus, CLPA implies CVIO.

Hmm, it should not prompt then, because "M" is what we use also and we do not 
get prompts.

Have you checked your SYSLOG during the IPL to see if it is complaining about 
an error in your IEASYSxx or other referenced members from SYS1.PARMLIB?
Look for message ID: IEA371I
That, I believe is a good place to start.

For a so called normal user? No way, I guess. It would have increased
price. Besides, certain types of hardware are probably impossible to
shield, given that their work is based on actually doing those radio
emissions (phones and some more).

Perhaps it could be done with a phone, but the price and mass would
have been big. For example, two batteries, one for antenna, second for
processor, with optical separation in between. Something like this. I
really have no idea if this is the right way to do it, so I am
guessing. Maybe even three batteries. That is no pocket device - a
suitcase phone.

Much easier would be to simply not have anything important on a phone,
however smart.

The "bank" they want to rob is a cellphone in one's pocket. No
physical security for this, I am afraid. The phone could be (a) stolen,
then miraculuously "found" and (b) returned to the proper
owner. Between (a) and (b) anything can happen to the said phone,
including most diabolical cloning schemes imaginable.

Or the phone could happen to be placed close to the listening device
without the owner realising it, like example given in the article -
publicly available charger.

As far as I understand they do not have to know anything like this.

The attack had been demonstrated against one method from well known
open source library. The only thing that stopped researchers from
demonstrating it for all of the library was their lack of time, but
this is not going to stop a thief.

As of "knowing when", I suppose one just has to record
everything. Then matching consecutive portions of the recording
against the algorithm, if no break get next portion, loop. At some
level this is as trivial as finding people talking about security on
this list - grab the archive, look for matching phrases, no need to

found, if not, then searching next mailing list can deliver.

Re: SHARE handouts

[Jesse 1 Robinson]

As Ed Jaffe said, SHARE works hard to make all *submitted* handouts available 
ASAP after each meeting. While every presenter is encouraged to submit handouts 
early in the process--even before a session takes place--some arrive tardily, 
and a few are never submitted for 'legal reasons'. One veteran presenter and 
IBM-Main contributor, for example, stated that he could not upload his handouts 
for legal reasons but would email them directly to anyone who asked. If you 
were not in the room at that time, you would have missed that message. Ah, 500 
lawyers at the bottom of the ocean. ;-)

SHARE has no control over submission other than putting in place a mechanism 
facilitate it. It's up to the presenter to make it happen.

From what I understand, the share presentations will be available on the Share 
website.  It may take some time for that to happen.  Those that attend the 
conference get them sooner.

But they should be there for any share paying member in time.

I will let the Share governing body have the final say, but that is what I 
remember from past Share events.  Time is needed for them to be available.

Re: Zowe for systems programmer ?

[Matt Hogstrom]

The current implementation of file access uses two sets of APIs.  The first is 
the Explorer APIs so that we can use web-based editors (context sensitive) in 
order to access the data.  So for example, JCL, COBOL, Java grammar assists are 
available.  The Explorer APIs allow us to deliver a stable user interface.  
Currently the project is using the z/OSMF APIs for file access.  So, 
Authentication is SAF based, Authorization is SAF based.  The question about 
serialization is up to the consumer of the REST interface.  For instance, if 
editing a dataset the caller can request that the ENQ on the dataset be held to 
keep others from editing the file.

Here is a reference to the current REST APIs for data set access in z/OSMF.

Re: Zowe for systems programmer ?

[Bruce Armstrong]

Tom - I don't know - I will find an answer. In the examples of using web 
ui and cli, it has been limited to the files owned by a given user. 

 Zowe is using z/OS services thru z/OSMF REST APIs...if you are 
invoking a command or service that does an ENQ then I would say "yes". If 
Zowe is invoking a command/service that does not do ENQ then "no".

That doesn't answer the question that I asked. SAF determines 
whether I can access the data set. ENQ ensures that no one else 
can have it while I am updating it.

Does Zowe cause an appropriate ENQ to be issued?

Re: Zowe for systems programmer ?

[Bruce Armstrong]

Tom - If you like ISPF stay with ISPF - there is no forced march 
here...by the way Zowe web ui includes a 3270 emulator so you can do 
ISPF through the browser. One of the demo we have shown is right mouse 
click from 3270 to involve another web app. 

Zowe (either cli or web ui) is still using your SAF access controls via 
the z/OSMF REST APIs so I will say no there is not magic file sharing 
logic in Zowe itself.

Re: [EXTERNAL] RES: SHARE handouts

[Richards, Robert B.]

For Sacramento, they provided a fantastic exe called 
"SHARESacramento2018Proceedings" that included an index html and multiple 
folders containing the various presentations. 

IMHO, the best method of delivery and usage that I have seen thus far.

I hope to see it RSN! :-)

>From what I understand, the share presentations will be available on the Share

conference get them sooner.

But they should be there for any share paying member in time.

I will let the Share governing body have the final say, but that is what I
remember from past Share events.  Time is needed for them to be available.

Re: SYSREXX PDS size

[Lizette Koehler]

To enhance the information provided.  This is under AXR function in the 
Operating system.

This shows some code snippets:   
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.ieaa800/rxxfction.htm
 



System REXX is a z/OS® component that allows REXX execs to be executed outside 
of conventional TSO/E and Batch environments. REXX has long been considered one 
of the fastest development languages for system exit and utilities work on 
z/OS. The possibilities for exploiting REXX code through the use of System REXX 
are vast, whether to provide operator assists or to provide an easy way to 
process files and strings. The System REXX environment provides a function 
package that allows a REXX exec to invoke system commands and to return results 
back to the invoker in a variety of ways. System REXX execs may be initiated 
through an assembler macro interface called AXREXX or through an operator 
command.
There are two different System REXX environments supported:

TSO=NO
TSO=YES

In both environments, the exec runs in problem state, key 8, in an APF 
authorized address space. Any modules that are loaded, linked or attached from 
the exec, must reside in an APF authorized library; otherwise, a X'306' abend 
occurs. In both cases, the REXX exec runs under the enclave of the AXREXX 
invoker when the invoker can be classified; otherwise, the exec runs under the 
enclave of AXR.

There can be up to 64 REXX worker tasks running TSO=NO execs and up to 8 TSO 
server address spaces running TSO=YES execs. If a worker task is not available 
for an inbound TSO=NO request, or if a TSO server address space is not 
available for a TSO=YES request, the request is queued and the requestor is 
suspended if SYNC=YES is specified. The order in which System REXX processes 
queued requests may not be in the same order that the requests have been 
submitted. AXREXX invokers that use SYNC=YES should consider the potentially 
long wait time.

RES: SHARE handouts

[Carlos Bodra - Pessoal]

I guess that SHARE allows download of presentations only for members or who 
participate of conference in target;

I support your opinion about make presentations available to everyone after 
conference has ended.

Assunto: SHARE handouts

Is there any repository for SHARE conference materials?
Sometimes it's possible to download the PDF file and sometimes not.
I guess SHARE is not interested in sharing that outside the organisation (at 
least not just in time of conference), however many presentations are available.
What are the rules? What are the links for download? Are there any rules?

BTW: From copyright point of view, as far as I understand the presentation is 
owned by the author and usually author is willing to
*share* it...

I would argue that shared files that might be updated by multiple
users simultaneously should be in a source control system anyway. If
the files MUST wind up in a PDS (parmlib members, anyone?), that
staging should happen in a controlled manner.

So - keep your text files in the Unix file system under the control of
git. ISPF will happily edit USS files -- no need to copy them to a
PDS.  You can keep your parmlib members in an off-mainframe server
(like an on-premises github or bitbucket server), have your changes
code-reviewed by your fellow sysprogs, committed, and pushed to the
parmlib via a deployment mechanism like Jenkins. All that stuff is
accessed via the browser.

You think that's crazy? It's how the off-mainframe world has been
working for the past decade, at least. With the proper tools, and the
willingness to learn to use them well, it improves productivity and
reduces errors.

IMO, it's time to start treating the mainframe like the complex,
mission-critical embedded system that it is, and use modern tools
to manage it.

Re: Anyone here exprerienced in JSON parser (assembler)

[Jerry Callen]

So I can't help but wonder: what's the big picture here? WHY is it necessary to 
parse JSON from assembler? There is presumably a good reason that assembler is 
in the driver's seat here, instead of, say, C, C++, or Python (all viable 
languages on z/OS). 

Yes, it's certainly possible to write recursive assembler code, and possible to 
do it efficiently with a stack, but WHY? It would be easier in Metal C (if the 
environment dictates that), and VERY easy from LE C/C++ or Python. And for the 
bash scripters out there, there's a nifty little command line tool (the "jq" 
command) that will parse JSON and deliver it in a convenient form to a shell 
script. (Rocket has it ported to z/OS internally, but not yet available for 
download.)

Assuming that your favorite editor is not the ISPF editor.

Will it do so while providing integrity so that two users can't edit the same 
data 
set (or member) at the same time, whether using Zowe or ISPF?

Re: SYSREXX PDS size

[Allan Staller]

"System Rexx" Came in about z/OS 1.9 IIRC. A set of rexx api's and environments 
that allow for things like issuing commands, retrieving command output, etc.

something else?

Our SYSREXX PDS is currently defined as VB 255. We had a system problem this

Re: Zowe for systems programmer ?

[Bruce Armstrong]

Hey Jake - let me try to explain some different ways Zowe is intended to 
help a system programmer. "Is it going to act like a GUI to perform all 
the system related activities?" - short answer is yes over time but don't 
think of just GUI as the way to interact with z/OS. 

The web user interface is intended to be a new platform for better 
visualization of z/OS resources. You likely use web technology for 
interacting with so many other systems in your life - email, bank, cloud, 
etc. - why not use same technology for z/OS? Browser skills are pervasive 
- they don't require additional software installed on your laptop/desktop. 
Web provides better use of graphics, more "right click" capabilities, and 
more end to end views can be written with fast path to system details. 
Over the years z/OS based products have generally been built as silos or 
swim lanes of expertise and not enough cross product sharing of data. One 
aspect of the web UI is "app to app" communication in the web meaning one 
app can invoke another, feed data to another to provide new ways of 
linking applications. 

System programmer productivity is another aspect. For example using the 
new Zowe command line. There are many different use cases here for a power 
user that wants to quickly edit a data set, submit a job, etc. You may 
have your favorite editor on your laptop for editing files and you don't 
like having to switch to ISPF to edit something on z/OS..via the Zowe 
command line you can stay in the laptop context and Zowe will fetch a data 
set behind the scene, allow it to be edited by your favorite editor and 
save back to z/OS transparently. The "real" power of the command line is 
being able to script commands to perform a set of actions on z/OS - using 
the script language of your choice. A common use case for script is Devops 
pipelines where z/OS can participate like any other platform in your 
environment. 

There are many other aspects that I won't ramble on about but just mention 
- increase the use of today's z/OS REST APIs, extend those APIs in new 
ways, encourage z/OS product teams to provide APIs as the way to interact 
with their, provide a catalog of the z/OS APIs, make z/OS resources more 
discoverable, .

Part of the reason for Zowe being open source is to pool the skills of 
system programmers across the industry and share both the pain points for 
z/OS administration and operation plus find ways to address the issues by 
sharing expertise, code and experience. If someone uses the command line 
to script a common task on z/OS we what to have that contributed for 
others to use. If someone has written web app that links two products 
together in an innovative way we hope they will contribute to the Zowe 
code base. We hope to have a Zowe "app store" in 2019 with the help of the 
Open Mainframe Project for sharing of code much like the smart phones have 
today - yes there are issues to be worked out on knowing the apps are safe 
and trusted but the point is Zowe is not just technology - it is the 
community to cause innovation. 

Sorry for long post ...hope this helps
