setting up CSSMTP to use TLS-SSL

2020-08-30 Thread Brian Westerman
Hi, Has anyone on the list set up their CSSMTP client to use TLS-SSL to forward the email to a target email server that only supports TLS-SSL? I see the steps in the CSSMTP configuration "Steps for using Transport Layer Security for CSSMTP", but it's unclear to me where I get the certificate.

Even if you maintain SDSF via SAF (which you have to do by z/OS 2.5 because that's all that will be supported) you will still have to update the RACF OPERCMDS class (TSO RACF option 2 (general resource profiles)). The profile name you need to update (for MVS batch and STC's) is MVS.MODIFY.**,

FWIW This VSAM index issue is most likely due to CI/CA splits. I would suggest unloading/deleting/reloading the complete VSAM cluster (if necessary ALTERing the original VSAM cluster to some temp other names instead of deleting it, after the unload and as a fall-back) to fix this. A FREESPACE(ca,ci

Just curious why you do not control SDSF through your SAF Product. I removed all of my ISFPARMxx setup and allow our SAF to control who can do what in SDSF. Now the security team is responsible. Lizette -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Peter Sent:

Well a 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, 13, or 14 track index has 1 track CAs, 3, 6, 9, or 12 for a 3 track CA, 5 or 10 for a 5 track CA, 15 tracks or more for a 1 cylinder CA. Details then vary based on key size, FREESPACE(ca ci) values, etc. Assuming reload after backup, delete, define, restore. If you just

Number of index levels is affected by data CA/CI sizes, index CA/CI sizes and how well the key "compresses" between adjacent CIs. Until you have a loaded file, you can't be positive about how many levels you have. But, once you have it loaded, it's easier to make adjustments prior to another re

More efficient in terms of fewer index LEVELs as Tony Thigpen may have been getting at? I thought the number of LEVELs was contingent on the the size of the file and the number of CI and CA splits the index component had endured and not the allocation of contiguous space for the index component

Of course, buffering will probably do the most to improve VSAM REORG times. For the sequential reads through the cluster that are typical of REORG activity, add the ',AMP=('BUFNI=x,BUFND=yyy')' parameter to the DD card, where 'x' equals the number of index component LEVELS displayed in the IDCAM

The index component alone is 2.4 MB? 2,400,000/56664 = 43 tracks? Sure, Allocate the index component as 4 or even 5 cylinders primary and a single cylinder secondary. If the cluster has changed significantly over time, I might also run an IDCAMS EXAMINE command: EXAMINE NAME() INDEXTEST DATAT

My source is the IETF, and every issue is a semantic issue. I did searches for bounce and DSN on a bunch of RFCs, and they all agreed. In particular, thr RFC that you cited, 3464, lists DSN types that are not bounces. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3 __
