Re: RSU maintenance strategy - Need expert suggestions

We do have specific FIXCAT runs for scheduled hardware or software upgrades, but this is the blanket report we run to cover all the bases in the ninth inning of a general maintenance upgrade. (Pardon the baseball metaphor.) REPORT MISSINGFIX FIXCAT(*) ZONES(MVST100)

Re: SFTP

"SMPE can only track dependencies it has been told about. Somehow they need to be tracked prior to that so they can be added to the SMPE packaging." The information that you need to construct the SMP packaging you also need to avoid breaking the build. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz

Dynamic LPA

When a module is dynamically loaded into the LPA is the dataset name retained anywhere? If so, where? I am asking because we want to issue a binder call to determine the LINKEDIT date and to do this we need the dataset name. Thank you in advance.

SysRexx - MPFNREXX bug found

I have found what I would consider a bug in MPFNREXX. Others may find it WOD. The exit expects the first 8 characters of the message line to be the message number. We are trying to eliminate a product that placed messages on the console that were shorter than 8 characters. Such as: ZADD

Re: Fire-call, emergency RACF userid

We're using Vanguard ez/Token, SecurID product. We have a single Firecall userid, that can be "checked out" by any authorized person. Without having that userid assigned its own token/pin I'm not sure how to crack this nut. Mark Jacobs > Chicklon, Thomas >

SysRexx, MPF exit and debugging

We have SysRexx running. We are using the MPFNREXX interface that is being shared around. Everything is working from a set-up perspective. Short SysRexx members are working. But, now I tying to write the rexx to handle more significant situations. When I have some bad code in my rexx, I get a

Re: Agile Project management in Mainframe System project

Ed, You are probably doing 50% agile already. Stories are how the user describes what they want. It makes the user write out what they want. If they say "I want an accounting system", we would tell them that is an epic and make them go back and write specific stories and prioritize them.

Re: Fire-call, emergency RACF userid

What are you using for MFA? CA's relatively new Advanced Authentication Mainframe product will let you map a Top Secret user ID to a different ID for RSA authorization. I used this set up for initial testing of the product- log on to the mainframe using a test ID that is mapped to my real ID's

Re: RSU maintenance strategy - Need expert suggestions

I usually try to implement maintenance twice a year, but each shop is somewhat different, depending upon ipl schedule, size of shop, workload, etc. If you're looking for a doc to justify your decision, there is this:

Re: Agile Project management in Mainframe System project

Yes you can. We are transitioning to using agile. I say transitioning because even though we use the agile methodologies of sprints, daily standup meetings, stories, epics and all that goes with it, we don't have it perfected, yet. Our consultant warned us that it takes time to transition
