For the curious, here is the readme keyxfer A Key Transfer Tool Introduction The key transfer tool (KEYXFER) is a REXX exec that runs on MVS. KEYXFER facilitates the transfer of PKDS or CKDS key tokens between systems that use the Integrated Cryptographic Services Facility (ICSF). The KEYXFER tool assumes the following: 1. ICSF is running on the systems involved in the key transfer 2. ICSF has an active Key Data Set (CKDS/PKDS) For a PKA key token transfer the tool retrieves the token from the active PKDS and writes it to a data set (file). For a symmetric key token transfer the tool retrieves the token from the active CKDS and writes it to a data set (file). The data set can then be transmitted to any number of systems. On each system the tool can be used to read the key token from the transmitted file and store it into the active PKDS or CKDS. The tokens are referenced by label. The format of the command is illustrated below: Syntax KEYXFER OPER, LABEL, DSN, OPTION OPER = READ_PKDS reads from the transmitted data set WRITE_PKDS writes to the transmitted data set READ_CKDS reads from the transmitted data set WRITE_CKDS writes to the transmitted data set LABEL = label of PKDS or CKDS record to be retreived/stored DSN = name of data set holding the token OPTION= OVERWRITE a label in the PKDS or CKDS. If OVERWRITE is specified in the option field then an existing label will be overwritten with the token from the transmitted data set. DATA SET: A PS or PDS data set can be used. An LRECL=80 is recommended, but not required The information stored in the KEYXFER data set consists of the following: Date KDS label Length of token Token Notes External key tokens can be received on any ICSF system. If the key token is an internal key token (see ICSF Application Programmers Guide) then it is encrypted under the ICSF master key of the system. Transferring the key token requires that the receiving systems use the same ICSF master key. If ICSF services are RACF protected (CSFSERV) then access will be required by the user for the CSNDKRC, CSNDKRR, and CSNDKRW services for PKDS transfers or CSNBKRC, CSNBKRR and CSNBKRW for CKDS transfers.

(If the label already exists in the PKDS the operation will fail.) KEYXFER READ_PKDS, PKDS.KEY.LABEL, TEMP.MEM • Read the key token contained in the data set TEMP.MEM and write the token to the active PKDS under the label PKDS.KEY.LABEL (If the label already exists in the PKDS the token for that label will be overwritten.) KEYXFER READ_PKDS, PKDS.KEY.LABEL, TEMP.MEM, OVERWRITE • Read the key token contained in the data set TEMP.MEM and write the token to the active PKDS. Since no PLABEL was specified the label Contained in the file is used as the label for the token on the new system.

Re: emptying a PDS: was RE: [IBM-MAIN] getting XCFAS down
Hi Peter, Since SCSQAUTH contains all MQ LNKLSTd modules (and no MQ modules are in any other LNKLSTd PDS(e)) and MQ, CICS, IMS and Batch are down, I can guarantee that no User/Task/Job will attempt to fetch an MQ module. There are 2 reasons why I would not compress SCSQAUTH: 1) It's a PDSE (not a PDS). My understanding (please correct me if I'm wrong) is that PDSEs do not need compression to reclaim space left behind by deleted/replaced members. 2) The Dataset has every member deleted. Afterwards, I IEBCOPY into it. Why would anyone compress an empty dataset (or a recently populated one)? Stopping LLA ... that affects the customer's (not robust as it should be) Automation. Our implicit rule is that the fewer tasks involved, the greater chance of success (implementation and staying within the maintenance window). The "real world" often has considerations that you won't find in a pristine laboratory setting. (I've worked many years in both.)

After everyone signs off, it's back to "business as usual" and Batch is restarted. Do you see any holes in this approach? If you can guarantee that no one does any fetch that might involve a member with the same name as one within the PDS that you emptied then "maybe". And if you don't need to compress the data set then "maybe". The operating system cannot stop you from compressing the data set. But it tries a little, by allocating the data set with DISP=SHR, so that if you do what you really should do for a compress, of using DISP=OLD, you won't be able to. If you're going to refresh LLA anyway, why not be safer and stop LLA first, then restart when you're ready? The refresh will negate any relevant caching of directories or modules, so there's no real benefit to having LLA up across the operations.

PSF Font Collection
I have a user that is looking for a latin-1 ISO 8859-1 font, as far as I can tell the font collection is part of the font collection in my order but I'm not sure what font name to tell him to use. I cannot logon to my system due to network / logon issues, can someone shed some light on this query? thanks all Carmen -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
