Hi,
I need to send data to another site.
Up until now we used 3480's. Now the other site wants to get rid of their
3480's.
What they want to do is send us a 3590 cartridge that was taken out of their
Silo. Since they have 3590E's we cannot write to these tapes (We have 3590B's).

Unfortunately, in order to reconnect to an existing TSO session, you need
to arrive with the same VTAM LUNAME as before - which is unlikely with
TCP/IP. If you attempt to logon/reconnect from a different VTAM LUNAME,
the message you get is already logged on, reply logon or logoff.
I found a report that Trend Micro's ScanMail antivirus software is
supposed to be available for z/OS (and Linux on zSeries also) in the
first half of 2006, so you might want to contact them.
There are several for Linux on zSeries, such as F-PROT.

Hi Jay,
Some of the reasons cited in public for the change to require/entitle
DFSort for use with DB2 V8
* V8 removes the pre-req for an external sort product
* V8 will only use the DFSort package: SORT, MERGE
functions only
*Aim to improve reliability and performance
*DFSort
The information is on IBMLINK under Preventive Service Planning. The
upgrade is ZOSV1R7.
