Well, you need to look at hardware life too. We had a PC running Win
NT 4.0 SP6 to configure and monitor IBM ESS F20 (shark) storage and
the tin can capacitors leaked and had to be replaced. So anything
over 10 years old needs to be replaced for CMOS battery / Capacitor
life anyway.

Probably forced to do so because management listened to an incompetent auditor.

Sad - I've seen that as well.
During Y2K a number of phones had to be replaced because the display only
showed 2 digits for the year when displaying the date. Go figure the mentality
of those making those decisions (they probably got a kick back for the money
spent).

But why worry about doing updates if all you are doing is TN3270 on those
Windows workstations? Delete all the games, etc. and lock them down.

We had Windows PCs as consoles for our ICC. All of them were not on the
real network, so no regular Windows updates. Once a month, we took a
long Ethernet cable and connected each console PC to the real network
and updated Windows and then reconnected to the ICC. Not too hard to do.

At my previous site, they had windows PCs for consoles on a dedicated network
connected to the ICC ports. Since the PCs don't have access to the outside

Hi,
I have done some extra tests and Mr. Steve Smith was correct, CIBX is not
available to batch jobs until a MODIFY is issued.
Thank you again for your time and support

Thanks Brian for the sanity check, I'm going to assume the APF entry was
added because my predecessor was not sure, so added it to be safe, this
is now causing headaches for audit issues. removing the entry will check
off an audit to-do for me

The alias name is not valid to z/OS processing for APF. It's in the manual
somewhere. The alias name is jsut a catalog construct, it doesn't physically
exist on DISK anywhere.

There is no real reason that your ICC consoles need to be on the rest of your
network. However, there are people who set it up with a VPN so they can
operate consoles from home.
