Re: VTAM on an IFL?
Sorry, but your stated setup brings up some questions. When you said We also have a TOR and two other production CICS's running in prod connected together by VTAM, it implies that you are using ISC connectins, not MRO, for connecting CICSs in the same VSE. If you are using ISC, you should change them to MRO. If you are actually using MRO, then they are not really connected together by VTAM. Unless you are using ISC to connect CICSs in different VSEs, you could possibly use the previously mentioned BSI product and eliminate VTAM. (The product is an extension of their TN3270 server product and does work with either vendors stack.) It even supports local non-SNA 3270 coax terminals for those last 'holdouts'. Tony Thigpen -Original Message - From: Jones, Zachary Sent: 04/29/2008 08:10 AM Most systems programmer function are in ICCF, and in my shop (Kinda Small) all of our production JCL. ICCF just runs in it's own CICS. So we need VTAM no matter what right now. We also have a TOR and two other production CICS's running in prod connected together by VTAM. At least on VSE I could see VTAM just merging into the cost of the license just like RSCS has in z/VM 5.3.

Interesting question. I was trying to explain VTAM to a relatively newbe a couple weeks ago. And I did come to the conclusion that since there are no new SNA hardware anymore, not only VTAM should be sunsetted, but we need to play to get rid of VTAM in the next few years. The problem still remains, that CICS takes to VTAM. CICS doesn't talk directly with IP terminals (like can be done with VM). So, until there is an IBM supplied solution, VTAM still needs to be supported and available in the VSE world. That is, until we are forced to send all of our screens thru a browser. Tom Duerbusch The same applies to z/OS, but even worse in that TSO is required to really do anything at least as far as system maintenance is required. I don't know about VSE, but in z/OS, even with TCP/IP, it is VTAM which is doing the actual I/O to the IP devices (well, at least with OSA devices). Who designed this? As an amusement, I've been trying to see how much work I can do using z/OS's UNIX shell instead of TSO. The answer is: Not really very much. As far as CICS is concerned, I can almost envision a TN3270 server built in to CICS. Or perhaps a BMS/IP where BMS supports IP terminals directly somehow. Of course, this will not be implemented by IBM without a business case. Is ICCF available via IP? Or is it even necessary?

If you run multiple systems, it's an easy way to move files across CTC connections.

You probably don't *have* to do the format first, but if this is the first time the volumes have been used or if the volumes are recycled, it's still the Recommended Way (and will save you lots of semi-frantic debugging if something mysterious happens, especially if these will be page or spool volumes and you accidentally miss formatting a cylinder on the original volume you took the DDR image from). It takes extra time, but it's probably safer in the long haul. If it were my system, I'd still do the format first.

SWAPGEN version 0803 posted
(crossposted to Linux-390 and IBMVM, since many folks support either Linux systems or VM systems or both) Posting a recent update to SWAPGEN prompted several people to contribute additional goodies, so I've posted a new version of SWAPGEN (version 0803). The file SWPG0803 MAILABLE will be available for download at http://www.sinenomine.net/vm/swapgen sometime this afternoon. The new version includes some improved error checking and messages to indicate what happened if SWAPGEN was unable to create the requested swap disk and some minor improvements for FBA disks. I also got several comments that using VMARC to package SWAPGEN was too complicated, so this version is packaged with Phil Smith's MAILABLE package, which allows you to just download the file in text mode, rename it to SWPG0803 EXEC and run the exec to unpack all the pieces automagically. Anyone supporting Linux systems on z/VM should upgrade to this version, and future versions or your own hacks should be based on this version. If you make updates, please use the provided source and update structure so it'll be easy to integrate in the future. Thanks to Phil Smith, Dave Jones, and others for their polite comments and feedback.

Re: SCP/SFTP functionality

Move his files to SFS, export the SFS directory via NFS to a Linux guest, and configure REXEC on the Linux guest via a private guest LAN that is not connected to external network to allow him to remotely execute SCP on Linux from CMS.

Old or ill-managed certificates are just as dangerous as old or ill-managed passwords. No argument there -- opportunities for stupidity are as ubiquitous as FORTRAN-like coding styles. Alan Ackerman asked why SSH and SFTP are so successful in the Unix world. SSH doesn't *require* a CA or other certificate management widgets *at all*. It doesn't *require* distribution of certificates before it can be useful. It doesn't *require* generation of certificates by anyone. It doesn't *require* paying for individual host certificates for every host you want to secure. It doesn't *require* figuring out what approved vendors are in the default root certificate list on operating system X, Y or Z and how to integrate your certificate into that infrastructure if it's not included. It doesn't cost anything per year to get started. It Just Works out of the box. And it's preloaded in most places that Unix weenies care about -- even on VMS and newer versions of Windows. How many pages of documentation does it require to explain the setup of SSLSERV, or even to understand what's happening in it? How much is the cheapest enterprise-wise certificate from a company in the default Windows root CA list? The defense rests. Don't get me wrong -- there are places for both. The above is why you don't find FTPS and SSL-wrapped TELNET widely used in the Unix community. Too many moving parts and other stuff needed to get started.

Looking for the VM WAVV presentations
I believe that IBM puts their presentations on their site. I found the VSE ones, but I don't found the one for VM. Even the WAVV site points you to the VSE side of things.
