IBM should, of course, assume its code is intended to run on customer systems.

IBM's customers are unduly desensitized to the adverse consequences of Conway's
law because of IBM's careless design practices.  Consider:

From:
z/OSIBM UNIX System Services User's Guide
Version 2 Release 3  SA23-2279-30
... A path name can be up to 1023 characters long, ...

But from:
z/OSIBM MVS JCL Reference
Version 2 Release 3  SA23-1385-30
...
PATH parameter
... Has a length of 1 through 254 characters, not including the slash. ...

Why?

Similarly, SVC 99, GUPI as far as I know, allows syntax for PDS member
names which JCL treats as syntax error.

Why?  If the name is invalid (as an IBM rep has asserted) why does DYNALLOC
not report an error.

Don't these development groups talk to each other?

Subject: Re: eWEEK Article highlights weaknesses in Mainframe Security

Disclamer: Don't shoot the messenger (I am very passionate on this 
topic). The fact is unpatched zero day vulnerabilities exist on all z/OS 
mainframe's. Don't take my word for this. Ask KRI's clients what their 
experience is with z/Assure VAP  finding (probable) zero day integrity 
based code vulnerabilities. I say probable because the ISV's don't 
appear to share the integrity vulnerability details with anyone outside 
their respective organizations. They certainly do not share this 
information with Key Resources. So if the ISV takes longer than a couple 
of days to provide a patch its likely they did not have one before the 
vulnerability was reported. Thus you can conclude that the vulnerability 
was a zero day.

Comment: If there were no unpatched security holes then IBM wouldn't 
need to release security PTFs to fix them.
Response: Correct. You only need to look at the patches provided by your 
ISV's (IBM, CA, BMC, Rocket Sorry if I missed any one!) and you will 
find security and/or integrity patches.

Comment: I would hope that it's a lot harder to find one than it used to be.
A: No actually it is not. I started doing this in 2009.  Key Resource's 
z/Assure VAP product regularly finds integrity based-code 
vulnerabilities. Most of these vulnerabilities appear to be zero day. As 
some people would consider my comments biased, don't take my word for 
it. Ask our clients if what I am saying is accurate.

Question: What zero-day vulnerabilities would there be? I’ve not heard 
of unpatched security holes in z/OS before.
Short answer: Conspiracy of Silence. Unless you are with the companies 
that find the vulnerability, work for the ISV support group, or are part 
of the ISV management or development teams you would never know about 
the vulnerability UNTIL you saw the patch on their patch portals. 
Patches normally contain no details about the vulnerability. This is how 
mainframe integrity based-code vulnerability management is done.  These 
vulnerabilities are NOT reported on the National Vulnerability Database.

Comment: Aside from of course, phishing and other attacks aimed at the users 
and not the machine itself.
Answer: Nothing to do with phishing and other attacks. I am referring to 
integrity based-code vulnerabilities.  These vulnerabilities are in SVC's, PC 
routines, or APF).  However, a good hacker will combine vulnerabilities to 
achieve their goal. The hacker wants to establish a beach head in your network. 
From there they can traverse the network compromising system's until they get 
access to z/OS. With these integrity based-code vulnerabilities once they are 
established and able to run work on z/OS they can elevate their credentials 
with an integrity based-code vulnerabilities and turn off logging. "Run work" 
would roughly translate to: a) FTP JCL to z/OS b) Logon to TSO or something 
similar c) Submit JCL through RJE or NJE (google metasploit NJE for attach 
vectors)there are documented attacks using this technique.

A TCB is destroyed when the task terminates unless it was attached with
EXTR or ECB in which case it is destroyed when the DETACH is issued.

Looking up the S23E 

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.ieah700/m015090.htm

During processing of a DETACH macro, the system found an error in the
input parameters.

Register 15 contains a hexadecimal reason code that explains the error:

Code Explanation

00 The protection key of the address does not match the key of the issuer
   of the DETACH.

04 Access register 1 was nonzero for a caller in access register address
   space control (ASC) mode.

08 The task control block (TCB) specified in the input parameter list
   is not a subtask of the caller's TCB.

I don't know which case you have as I don't know the value in R15 at
the time of the abend, but perhaps the above might give you some ideas.

One possible reason for the R15 = 8 case other than just a bad TCB
address is that you've already issued the DETACH before and that TCB
has already been destroyed.

So END_ECB is for main to subtask notification (to terminate) and SYSECB
is the ECB specified in the ATTACH ECB= parm.

And you stored the value in R1 from the ATTACH in TASK_ADDR.

And you are not running AR mode (or at least AR1 is zero?).

Is that the first time around the loop?

Does TASK_ADDR point to a TCB?

Look at the code generated by the assembler.  Is it using R7 to base
your reference to TASK_ADDR or some other register (and thus always
using the same address...)

> Not sure more so I posted the code if anyone code confirm the logic
> is right ?

You didn't post enough (all?) of the code nor the R15 value at the S23E
abend point so it's not enough.  The ATTACH along with the construction
of the R7 based storage areas are likely to be critical.  If it's too
long for an email you could post it somewhere on the web and send a link
to the list.

> Is your suggestion to use EXTR as opposed to ECB because you suspect
> the validity of the TCB and the TCB is passed to the exit in R1

The abend indicates a problem with the code.  This needs to be fixed,
just changing to EXTR isn't fixing it.

Also I wouldn't rush to use EXTR. The EXTR routine is asynchronous to
your main task (which it runs on and interupts) so the EXTR routine would
need a way to communicate with your main task too.  I'd just use ECB on
the ATTACH.

> More so the EXTR will get control after the subtask does a BR R14

Yes, but the EXTR routine then needs to communicate with the main routine.
Your main routine is NOT running while the EXTR routine is running but
but you don't know where the main routine is stopped. 

You would need to notify the main routine somehow that the EXTR had
happened.  When the asynchronous exit routine (EXTR) exits your main
routine will then run (or continue waiting, or whatever it was doing).

Unless you do something in the EXTR routine the main routine will never
know the EXTR routine ran...

> Back to the EXTR when the exit (EXTR) does a BR 14 to z/os, z/os
> will resume executing my code in my clean up routine as besides task
> termination I have to release CSA storage among other things

Your main routine will become dispatchable again however if it
was waiting it will remain waiting...

> I still think I am going to need a ECB or actually 4 to say I’m
> done or else the main task might finish first looking at the registers

Yes, with ATTACH ECB you need an end of task ECB for each task.

Your R7 workarea should be enough.  Besides TCBUSER doesn't belong to you.
USER in this context means "not IBM use", so it's the site or organization
not a single programmer.  There's only one TCBUSER (in each TCB).

> If there was an easier way

There is...

We haven't seen your attach code, but you should be passing a
parm value in R1 to the subtask your are attaching.

This could be your R7 area address.

You could try using the RACF SEARCH command. You will need to manipulate the

Re: z/OS BDAM question

2018-11-02 Thread Mick Graley
Another poster (sorry I deleted the post so can't credit him) already
stated that the addressable range depends on the method you use to access
the data set.
Yes relative track addressing is 2 bytes and limited to 64K tracks.
But relative block addressing is 3 bytes and so limited to 16M blocks.
So depending on your block size you can address more than the physical
limit of the data set.
However, as Curtis has just pointed out, Adabas itself doesn't use BDAM, it
uses EXCP/EXCPVR.
And yes Curtis you are correct - most of our Adabas data sets are DSORG=DA
but some of them are indeed DSORG=PS.
Because I inherited these systems I'm not quite sure why.
Must be something to do with the way they were first allocated and
formatted (maybe different releases of Adabas), but it doesn't make a
difference, they both work fine.
Cheers,
Mick.

Actually, current ADABAS versions don’t use an access method; they write their 
own channel programs and issue EXCP. I think there’s an option to use VSAM on 
EAVs. All our ADABAS container datasets are defined as PS in the VTOC, but that 
doesn’t really matter.

Re: z/OS BDAM question

2018-11-02 Thread Giliad Wilf
Interesting.
I recall two statements, probably from two different sources:

One states that BDAM does not support large format datasets.

The other states that DA datasets accessed by relative track address are 
limited to 65536 tracks.

...so, I must assume ADABAS has a way for accessing records of a dataset that 
large...

Re: z/OS BDAM question

2018-11-02 Thread R.S.
It is a little bit more complex. There is third flavour or DSORG=PO, it 
is DSNTYPE=HFS. ;-)
HFS is also constrained to single volume when non-SMS-managed.  In the 
past it was simply single volume.
Last, but not least: a database structure (table, tablespace, index) may 
or may not be constrained by limito of single dataset. For example, it 
was possible to create more-than-4GB objects, while VSAM limit was 4GB. 
Now it is usually EA VSAM, but it is still possible to use multiple 
datasets per object.


Backing to the dataset limitations - PDS is the only dataset 
type/subtype which is really constrained to 64kTRK, because it is both 
single-volume, and 64k limit susceptible.

Re: z/OS BDAM question

2018-11-02 Thread R.S.

Mick,
You are still missing the point: 64k TRK limit is PER VOLUME. It regards 
PDS, (basic) PS, and DA.
In other words, BDAM datasets are 64k TRK constrained as some other 
datasets are.
Of course some (PDS) datasets cannot be multivolume, while DA (and PS) 
can be, but that's different story.

Hi  Radoslaw,
If you combine all the rules for direct data sets across 2 or 3 pages of
the manual you get:
65,535 tracks per volume, 59 volumes, 16 extents per volume, 255 extents

Which suggests to me a limit of 3,866,565 tracks.

Just out of curiosity: why do you want to split VOLCAT?


I'm going to use virtual tapes. Real tape volumes are huge (4/12TB), so 
there are few of them.
Virtual tapes are much smaller and tend to not be filled up (it does't 
make sense), so the number of volume entries can explode.

I want to prepare for that before the problem occurs.

Agreed. My question should be rephrased to something like "are you aware

Of course "out of curiosity" issues are worth discussion and solution,

Re: VOLCAT split

2018-11-02 Thread Jousma, David
We've got over 50 entries in our volcat.vgeneral and have had some 
performance issues.   For now we bumped up the STRNO to 10 and that has helped 
some.It's hard to stop all tape processing in our environment to move 
entries out of vgeneral.   Our storage guys have committed to creating new 
VOLCAT.Vn when they start adding new ranges.

Profiles specific to user

2018-11-02 Thread Sankaranarayanan, Vignesh
Hello lists,

I've look around a bit and also realise there's a screen within the RACF panels 
itself to do the following:
Show all dataset profiles that a user has some access to.

Is it possible to produce this as a report by parsing DBU00?
Found this - http://www.oocities.org/steveneeland/ICE69.txt
.. but it lists only profiles that explicitly have that ID in the access list.

Is there a way to report all the profiles (DATASET class or otherwise) an ID 
has access to through

  1.  direct mentions in the user list
  2.  one of the user's connected groups
  3.  lenient UACC

As always, thank you so much for your suggestions!
Note that I can't run this through Vanguard or zSecure or some such... just 
have plain old zOS components to exploit.

- Vignesh
