Re: JES2 parm change - how make sure it's right?

Or they maybe have some automation that makes changes as part of the IPL.
Be interesting to see how common cold starts are been here 11 years done
one cold start and it was because of a mistake.

Re: NFS

2020-03-24 Thread Keith Smith
It has been a while back but I don't recall anything being difficult. We
are only using it to present an MVS dataset prefix to the distributed world.

There are several VSAM files that need to be created and some parm
selection. We use RACF and we attached the started task to the same
owner as TCPIP so it would have USS authority.

As I recall it was pretty much a step by step install.

Re: [External] Finding and replying to outstanding reply

2020-02-11 Thread Keith Smith
A nicer brute force might be.

01,STOP
02,STOP
03,STOP
.
.
.
99,STOP

At this point it should be down and as long as no other reply would be
accepting STOP as valid they should return with a new reply number. This
will not be true if you have other automation that is not coded to reject
and retry if an invalid response is received. Of course if you are coming
down and this is close to the last item...

Just a thought...

If you have automation... issue D R,L and capture the responses and reply.

CLPA Causes NIP to load the link pack area with the modules contained in
the LPALST concatenation. Also, CLPA purges VIO data set pages that were

Re: Problem with dataset authorization

RACF some changes require the "in memory" copy to be refreshed before the

Re: LRS VPS Printer Replacment

LRS provides a report of printer use, if you are collecting the SMF, If you
don't have 13 months of data then make sure to sample month end, quarter
end and year end processing dates... if not, you may miss some limited use
printers.

Re: MSU Actual [AD]

2017-10-25 Thread Keith Smith
Yes you can. We capture every 5 minutes.

We start the task and produce messages that look like this:

+XWZ009I Testing... hlmsu=   38 himsu=   35 hcap= 100 hrmsu=0
+XWZ000I CPC: Local Partition Capping State:
+XWZ001I CPC: WLM Capping %:  100 ( WTO Limit: 0 )
+XWZ010I Testing... MVSx :35

We also use automation to capture the messages and send an email when we
are projecting capping within the next 15 minutes.

Interesting that IronStream is mentioned. We also have the free version
running on z/OS and are sending the above log messages to splunk and have
this dashboard:

I included a screenshot of a graph showing how you can know your MSU trend
with just a short glance. However, it was rejected by the list. We graph
today, yesterday and last week.

Re: Error in a simple COBOL program

2016-07-10 Thread Keith Smith
What is missing is a method of making the program "know" that you want it
to get input from your screen. (or so it seems)

If you want terminal input you need to use CICS or ISPF PANEL processing.
Or possibly execute this program from TSO. It has been a while but I know
of no way to tie a batch job to your terminal.

Not sure that I have seen this one but we had certificate errors. Create a
self signed certificate on your HMC and add it to your PC's certificate
store. Also our HMC's are not in DNS so I had to update the host file on my
PC.

 I can't find a way to turn off SSL in the HMC Management Console.  Since
 we have a local LAN, we are secure without SSL.

 Has anyone else had this problem and get around it?

Thank you! We are about to start looking at V5.1 for production and I am
accumulating a quick list for reference if we run into anything. We have
had success so far with the limited testing we have completed.

 I s'pose:

 something like
 SLIP
 SET,SA,RA=(25DCC,25DCF),ASIDSA=('JOBNA*'),A=TRACE,TD=(STD,REGS,25DCC,25DCF
 ),ID=OVLY,END

 And I would go with a MODE=INT  GTF trace, with SD=10M.
 The SLIP dump of the U4087 abend should contain the most recent 10MB of
 GTF trace.

 The specific addresses in the SLIP are where the job has allocated the
 storage that holds the pointer that got corrupted in each previous dump, so
 we're gambling on it being at the same virtual address in each job next
 time we try to trap the corrupter.  Note the generic job name in ASIDSA.

Re: EZZ9308E UNRESPONSIVE NAME SERVER

2014-05-08 Thread Keith Smith
I have had the same problem. I am sure it is network related but my network
folks say nothing has changed... to that I say... why did it just start
occurring without any change anywhere.

I was forced to add:
RESOLVERTIMEOUT 10
UNRESPONSIVETHRESHOLD(85)

Note that your current level of failure is 50%. I think the default on
UNRESPONSIVETHRESHOLD is something like 25%. Meaning if in the sample time
period you have over 25% failures... you get the message.

Since this is just an early warning type message, and my network folks
can't tell me why it is failing at times... I set my UNRESPONSIVETHRESHOLD
to 85% and, if I understand RESOLVERTIMEOUT, correctly, I have doubled the
amount of time that it gathers attempts to calculate the percentage.

Making these changes on my system has cut these messages down from several
per day to just a few each week.

Re: Long Passwords

2013-03-20 Thread Keith Smith
It would be more helpful if everyone would reply with what they know to be
a fact. It has been stated that every RACF ID must have a password. I added
a new user to my system and only created a password phrase.

I was able to logon to TSO using the password phrase. So, it does not seem
to be true that a password is required unless RACF created some random
password, but the bottom line is there is no password that I can use to
logon except the password phrase.

 USER=  NAME=x  OWNER=xx   CREATED=13.079
  DEFAULT-GROUP=SYS1 PASSDATE=00.000 PASS-INTERVAL= 90
PHRASEDATE=13.079
  ATTRIBUTES=OPERATIONS GRPACC

  ATTRIBUTES=PASSPHRASE

 A user with a pass phrase must also have a password.  When RACF is called
 to validate either, it uses the length of the data to determine which it is
 validating.

 Consequently, a user with a pass phrase need not ever use it.  The
 password will always work.  (I imagine the password authentication exits
 could be used to prohibit using the password.)


 No. RACROUTE REQUEST=VERIFY has two mutually-exclusive sets of keywords:
 a) PASSWRD= and NEWPASS= and b) PHRASE= and NEWPHRASE=.

 If the issuer of RACROUTE chooses to implement passphrases, then passwords
 need not be supported at all.

 Is there any requirement that a password phrase be longer than 8
 characters?  If not, there would seem to be a non-empty intersection
 of the spaces of passwords and password phrases -- the same string
 could be used as either.

I stand corrected. The password is, in fact, the default group. There are
way too many gotchas popping up... What happens if the password is expired?
Will the password phrase still work? I guess I should test this too.

 It has been stated that every RACF ID must have a password.

 Statement is correct. From RACF Command Language Ref: AU command:

 Every user that you assign a password phrase must have a password. When
 you specify PHRASE for a user without specifying PASSWORD, the user is
 assigned the default password. In your case, it is SYS1.

 I was able to logon to TSO using the password phrase. So, it does not
 seem to be true that a password is required unless RACF created some random
 password, but the bottom line is there is no password that I can use to
 logon except the password phrase.

 True, you can use either password or password phrase to logon. But you can
 still logon with password only, just use the group as your password. To
 avoid this exposure always enter a password value and never tell your users
 what the password is.

   DEFAULT-GROUP=SYS1 PASSDATE=00.000 PASS-INTERVAL= 90
  PHRASEDATE=13.079
  ATTRIBUTES=PASSPHRASE

 Now I know your passsword! It is SYS1 ;-D

 As the RACF manuals clearly document, expiration of the password has no
 effect on using the password phrase, and vice versa. While they have the
 same expiration interval, they have separate expiration dates.

Re: Long Passwords

2013-03-18 Thread Keith Smith
Well if we are talking the same thing either works. Password or Password
Phrase.

 USER=xx  NAME=yyy  OWNER=  CREATED=09.300
  DEFAULT-GROUP=SYS1 PASSDATE=13.036 PASS-INTERVAL= 90
PHRASEDATE=13.073
  ATTRIBUTES=PASSPHRASE


after adding passphrase to the ID and changing SYS1.PARMLIB(IKJTSO00) to
add:

LOGON   /* LOGON PARMS   */  +
   PASSPHRASE(ON)   /* TURN ON LOG PASSWORDS */

We can no log-on with either the original 8 digit max password or the new
passphrase of up to 100 characters. I have not tested up to 100, but the
field seems to hold it wrapping to the next line. I tested a 21 character
password.

Keith

Re: Long Passwords

2013-03-18 Thread Keith Smith
This is VERY true. The application will have to support it. However, the
world seems to be moving to SSO and if it is to get there... then z/os will
have to play on the long password field. I expect most, if not all,
standard IBM products will use either in time.

 It CANNOT be used for everything.
 Reason: some of everything do not support long passwords.

 IMHO it is an issue for unwashed masses of regular users, not technical
 staff. And most of regular users use ONE application (CICS or IMS), so they
 are not interested in ftp, TSO, NETVIEW or JCL.
