"The zEDC (zEnterprise® Data Compression) Express® adapter and the 
Integrated Accelerator for zEDC solution for z15™, which were mentioned 
in the zEnterprise Data Compression documentation for version 8, are not 
currently supported. As a result, the CPU consumption and performance of 
Java applications that make extensive use of data compression might be 
affected. Support is intended to be added in a later release."


That seems... not good. Simple use of zEDC compression was one nice 
feature of Java on z/OS.

I am seeing the same value in both fields. IMGWU definitely appears to be the 
MSU cap. I am guessing that LACS being equal means we are capped at that value 
(despite what the doc says).

If your question is specific to SMP/E file downloads using HTTPS, then 
check this out:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=guide-preparing-secure-internet-delivery


The short answer is just add these to your  specification and let 
'er rip:
  downloadmethod=”https”
  downloadkeyring=”javatruststore”

However, if your question was for a general use HTTPS download client 
program, then see my previous post.

The issue is you need an HTTPS client program to run in a job step.
Supplied with the z/OS base there is no HTTPS client program equivalent to
the z/OS Comm Server FTP client program.  Some applications, like SMP/E,
have a built-in HTTPS client program to perform file download, but it is
specific for use by SMP/E and not for general use.  I expect some folks
will chime in to recommend CURL or similar, but you'll have to obtain,
install, and configure that if you don't already have it.  You could use
the HTTP Web Enablement Toolkit to write your own client program even in
REXX, but out of the box a fully functional HTTPS client program is not
readily available.

Using HTTPS from JCL for file download?

[Billy Ashton]

Hi all, I am back!
After successfully getting my FTPS and SFTP JCL set up and working right 
here, some manager got a bee in his bonnet to say that he wanted to use 
HTTPS protocol from his JCL, because he read that HTTPS was the best way 
to go. I tried to explain that HTTPS was meant for browser applications, 
and that some special application would be needed to process the HTTPS 
headers and data, but he insisted I try to find a way to make HTTPS work 
from JCL.


So...can this be done? Can a batch JCL job run HTTPS to do file 
downloads? If so, can you help a brother out and let me see how you do 
it, so I can see if we can do it here?


I appreciate this group - if it can be known, someone here will know it!

Re: Is there a field that would reflect LPAR soft-capping?

[Carmen Vitullo]

Charles I think the RCTIMGWU field is what you are looking for, in short 
it's defined as


Image defined MSU's -  as the softcap is changed that value is updated, 
I'm not 100% sure that's what your asking, if not sorry.


Mark's Rexx performs some calculations to report on used MSU's on a 
rolling 4hr average and the unused MSU for the 4hr average

@Carmen, thanks, that is a huge help. RCTLACS is documented as

Long-term average CPU service used by this logical partition, in millions of

adjustment factor (RCTPCPUA) so it may not match other measures of service 
which are based on the logical CPU adjustment factor. It is available if the 
hardware supports LPAR cluster

I am assuming I can get to the RCT (possibly by IPLINFO) and as an added bonus, 
the field is GUPI!

So yeah, there is half the answer. So the next question is, where do I find "the 
partition's defined capacity" (in MSUs/hour)?

we used part of Mark Zelden's IPLINFO Rexx  on MSU usage, the field we

RCTLACS

I'd think you would need the defined MSU's (RCTIMGWU)  also and compare
the fields?

Check Marks IPLINFO, I think that would have everything you'd need.

of course there are other tools from other vendors but I think if you

IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS, Version 11 is now available!

[Yuan Jie Song]

IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS, Version 11, is the latest 
release of Java SDK on z/OS. It provides a fundamental platform for building 
highly robust, scalable and reliable modern enterprise applications. In an ever 
connected world, as clients embark on their digital transformation journey on 
z/OS, Java 11 is essential for enabling their new workloads on premise and 
across cloud platforms. This SDK delivers support for Java 11 Standard Edition 
specification, provides new language features, and enables developers to build 
Java applications on any platforms and deploy them onto z/OS.

This release contains performance enhancements that enable companies to 
leverage the benefits of IBM Z scalability, reliability, availability, and 
serviceability, including exploitation of latest IBM Z hardware features.  It 
contains a new OpenJCEPlus security provider offering optimized performance 
through exploitation of cryptographic hardware on IBM Z and enabling the 
cryptographic algorithms required for TLS V1.3 support in the OpenJCEPlus 
provider.  It is designed to provide clients with the capability to test and 
deploy Java applications in a 64-bit environment, run Java code on zIIP 
processor engines, and use valuable z/OS functions such as a Batch Launcher for 
running Java applications as batch jobs or started tasks, and direct access to 
traditional z/OS data and key z/OS system services.

Other capabilities and performance improvements include pause-less garbage 
collection (GC) reducing GC pause-times for response-time sensitive and large 
heap applications, Data Access Accelerator, cryptographic acceleration via CP 
Assist for Cryptographic Functions (CPACF) and vector hardware instructions.  
The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) transparently exploits hardware Transactional 
Memory to improve scalability of synchronized regions within multithreaded 
application code. Furthermore, the JVM dynamically adapts to changing system 
resource and capacity from System Recovery Boost for z/OS, by auto-scaling of 
garbage collection and JIT compilation threads.

Please note that starting Version 11, IBM SDK for z/OS, Java Technology Edition 
has been renamed to IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS.  This 
rebranding aligns the naming for Java on the z/OS platform with that on other 
platforms where OpenJDK class libraries are similarly powered by the Eclipse 
OpenJ9 JVM technology. The Semeru name originates from the tallest mountain on 
the island of Java in Indonesia, called Mount Semeru.

IBM SDK for z/OS Version 8 contains IBM security implementation whereas IBM 
Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS Version 11 contains the OpenJDK 
security implementation. Differences between these implementations might 
require code changes to your applications. For more details, refer to the 
Semeru Runtimes security migration guide 
. For 
additional information about compatibility and migration, visit IBM 
Documentation . IBM intends 
to deliver other z/OS-specific extensions for IBM Semeru Runtime Certified 
Edition for z/OS Version 11 over time with service refreshes.

How to obtain IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS, Version 11?
IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS, Version 11 is available for zero 
license charge through Shopz (5655-DGJ) SMP/E, or you can download the 
non-SMP/E here .  The 
subscription and service number is 5655-I48.

Doh!

ls -la, not la -la

Fingers faster than brain.

All this assumes that you wanted the command to list the files, rather than 
making the FTP server always list 'hidden' files. If it's the latter you want, 
I've no idea. 😊

Subject: FTP-Server list files starting with a dot ("hidden files")

Hi,

I've read the manual but found nothing Does anyone of you know if it 
somehow possible to tell the z/OS FTP server that a "ls" should also return 
files that just start with a "." In the filename, like ".gitkeep" or something 
like that


Thanks,
Michael
