Does Edge force the HTTPS-Only Mode that Joel mentioned?

The page above (still) has sample JCL for batch download via FTP.
How might one download an HTTPS resource in batch?  Would it
require Co:Z and/or Ported tools (curl)?

Extra credit if one can un-TERSE a ".bin" instance without using a temp data 
set.

What's a "data store"?  Will downloads of HTTPS resources be prohibited?
What about ShopZ and RECEIVE ORDER?

I have no idea. We are completely kneecapped and *have to* use what someone 
else configured.

ShopZ has offered HTTPS for quite a while, so ShopZ has never been a problem. 

As for 'data store': I am unsure of the correct word. I mean the places 
somewhere in the cloud (even if the word ibm appears in the url) where just 
about everyone can store things and see it. It is kind of public, I think. Our 
installation generally prohibits us from accessing anything in these places, so 
there it doesn't matter if it https or not, we cannot get there as it is 
considered 'dangerous'. There seems to be a general list of IP addresses for it 
somewhere, maintained by whomever, so that gets blocked by the firewall.

z/OS 2.5 PDF Hyperlinks

Inter-document hyperlinks in 2.4 work.  In 2.5 they don't work.
For example in:
JCL Reference

JCL User's Guide
The hyperlink works in the 2.4 book; does nothing in 2.5.
The (mis) behavior is the same in Mac Preview and Adobe Reader.

But can anyone else confirm/refute this before I fire off an RCF?

Re: [EXTERNAL] automated SMS Storage pool management

[Pommier, Rex]

Dave,

You got a lot of suggestions.  Let me toss another one at you.  We approach 
this problem slightly different.  We have a separate storage group we use as a 
spill group.  In our SMS routines we allocate the spill storage group behind 
several of the others so it is kind of a shared group.  If one of the 
production groups goes too high, SMS will allocate space on the spill group to 
get the needed storage.  The next day we get notified that the spill group has 
data on it and we can then move the data to the normal production group and 
clean up the spill group.  If it becomes a habit for a storage group to be 
using the spill space we know it is time to increase the space in the 
production group.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] automated SMS Storage pool management

All,

I'm sure someone has solved this.   I'm now managing DASD management at my 
shop.   One thing that bothers me is my guys getting off-shift calls because 
some active storage pools fall below a % threshold of freespace.   We arent 
skimpy on provisioning, but dont want to over-provision either.  We are IBM 
system automation shop, and I asked IBM if there was any "out-of-the-box" 
automation for SMS we could start with and tailor to our needs.   Nothing.
Not looking to fully automate storage pool management, but something along the 
lines of having some number of volumes in DISNEW status, that could be enabled 
via automation - saving that middle of the night call-out, but to follow-up on 
next business day.  

Anyone doing anything like this, case to share?

Thanks in advance, Dave

STP on HMC 2.15.0 training

[Jim Elliott]

With the z15 (HMC 2.15.0) the STP panels changed a lot. Does anyone know of
any education available on the new panels?

All the links on the STP page at
https://www.ibm.com/it-infrastructure/z/technologies/parallel-sysplex-stp
are very out of date.

I have found a draft Redbook SG24-8480 IBM Z Server Time Protocol Guide
(which has never been published and has been in draft status since August
3, 2020) but would like to find something more.

Re: STP on HMC 2.15.0 training

Jim,

We have z15 setup and running with STP, if you have any questions.  The only 
thing that I thought was different was, what happens after a POR.  We setup the 
HMC and STP, then do a POR just before we switch to the z15 and the STP 
configuration was lost.  There is a checkbox, the description isn't very clear, 
but if you check that box, the STP configuration stays after POR.
