Re: Rexx to clone users in RACF
Cloning and creating one user is easy but I want to clone and create 10 userid at once . Is it possible to achieve it through DBSNC.?

Re: Rexx to clone users in RACF
I had a Rexx that matched user (well any string actually) and extracted the records from an unload. Then fed them to DBSYNC with an empty compare file. The generated commands were usually close to what I wanted. > -Original Message- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On > Behalf Of Peter > Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2023 12:23 AM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: Re: Rexx to clone users in RACF > > [EXTERNAL EMAIL] > > Cloning and creating one user is easy but > > I want to clone and create 10 userid at once . > > Is it possible to achieve it through DBSNC.? > > On Fri, Nov 17, 2023, 11:20 PM Walt Farrell wrote: > > > IBM used to, and may still, supply an unofficial REXX exec that I > > wrote named DBSYNC.

How to download PERL from rocket
I am trying to download Perl from Rocket, but when clicking "download Now" I get a screen "Rocket Open Source for z/os" without a download link. Any idea how to download Perl for z/os?

Re: AI System Services on z/OS 3.1 - is a CF really mandatory?
I think the better question is why does EzNoSQL require RLS? Probably makes it easier because they don't have to handle different sharing issues, but it seems possible that some might be interested in using the EzNoSQL API from a single task without sharing implications. Of course I don't know how interested people are in general in EzNoSQL.

I haven’t used it but from reading the brief docs EzNoSQL is a z/OS implementation of a key/value JSON document store that uses VSAM KSDS as the store. It’s similar to MongoDB or SAP HANA in functionality which are both hugely popular on distributed systems. The marketing materials mention using Sysplex for consistency and performance. MongoDB, Aerospike, SAP HANA etc all have huge in-memory caches for scalability. EzNoSQL uses Sysplex services to implement a straight-through cache and persistent storage that can scale horizontally. IBM makes a point of stating that there are no programming requirements to handle eventual consistency which can be an issue with distributed systems that adhere to the CAP theorem. > Of course I don't know how interested people are in general in EzNoSQL.

Re: How to download PERL from rocket
You have to install Rockets miniconda I was lamenting a week or two ago. It is the installer for all their ported opensource packages. Or, if that is not important to you can go directly here, and download the tarball, and manually install yourself. https://anaconda.org/zoss-appdev Dave Jousma Vice President | Director, Technology Engineering From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List on behalf of ITschak Mugzach Date: Tuesday, November 21, 2023 at 6:35 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: How to download PERL from rocket I am trying to download Perl from Rocket, but when clicking "download Now" I get a screen "Rocket Open Source for z/os" without a download link.

Re: AI System Services on z/OS 3.1 - is a CF really mandatory?
What is required to set up a CF LPAR? Is there a document I can look at? Tony Thigpen Scott Chapman wrote on 11/20/23 9:01 AM: Just to add to the point about "or general purpose engine". A CF LPAR doing relatively little activity for a non-critical work can run just fine on a shared GP engine, assuming you have some available capacity. The CF LPARs don't generally consume much CPU, if they're not being driven by intensive data sharing. Unlike ~30 years ago when sysplex first came out, things like thin interrupts and sub-capacity pricing as well as faster CPUs means that it is plausible today to run CF LPARs on GPs. The most extreme case I've seen has 3 z/OS LPARs and 2 CF LPARs running on a single sub-capacity engine. Obviously a very small environment, and not a configuration I'd recommend, but it functions. But I do think there might be performance advantages available to some customers who don't have CF LPARs defined today if they just would stand up a small CF LPAR running on a GP. But it requires some effort to configure and manage.
