Hi Timothy, Many thanks for your help. In the second URL there is an information about how to setup TLSV1.2 but we also need to restrict the ciphers to the ones our customer would like to have enabled. I´m still looking for on how to restrict the ciphers. If you hav

Re: INFOPRINT SERVER EXPERIENCE

Depending upon your requirements there is a free solution that runs on z/OS written by Leland Lucius called TXT2PDF. I wrote the ISPF front-end for it, which is very useful in experimenting with the available options. Open source so you can adjust/improve/etc. at will. You can get it from www.c

Re: VSMLIST SP=PVT,SPACE=FREE question

 ALLOC means GETMAIN/STORAGE OBTAIN I mean I understand that z/os always gets in increments of 1K or 4096 so free means it was part of the storage z/os obtained but the user didn’t request so the storage that the user requested really starts at 7FF9CE28 right ? > On Jul 21, 2022, at 10:28 AM,

SMS volume status of QUINEW?

Good morning all, We are curious about the reasoning behind the QUINEW status for SMS volume(s). We use DISNEW for SMS volumes that we want to eventually phase out and we discovered there were older volumes that had an existing assignment of QUINEW within some storage groups. It appears that t

Hi, By now, after more trial and errors and reading several bits of the DFSORT manual, I have been able to get the report that I wanted. But now I need something else.

My post Using z/OS LDAP with TLS 1.3 may give you a few clues. It talks about removing cipher specs you do not want to use. Search for .GSK_V2_CIPHER_SPECS in the GSK doc (SC14-7495-50) below. There is a list of cipher specs in Ap

Re: SMS volume status of QUINEW?

QuiNew keeps volumes as empty as possible, but if a dataset cannot be allocated on all the other volumes it will be allocated on a QuiNew volume. VS a DisNew volume is destined to be taken offline when empty and new datasets cannot be allocated on the volume.. On Thu, Jul 21, 2022 at 10:32 AM Cla

Re: SMS volume status of QUINEW?

So QUNEW can function to 'reserve' volumes for datasets with very large primary allocations, requests that might not be satisfied if free space was not consolidated on the QUINEW volume? -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Mike Schwab Sent: Thursday, Ju

Re: SMS volume status of QUINEW?

That's a very interesting question that I would like to know the answer to as well. In addition, will QUINEW volumes subsequently allow large secondary extents to go onto these volumes? Rex -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Michael Watkins Sent: Th

Re: SMS volume status of QUINEW?

it's my understanding that SMS passes a list of eligible devices to be used in allocation based on the request, I believe, and I could be wrong, those eligible devices pass some scrutiny based on the allocation request. the QUINEW devices are placed last in the list of eligible devices and if t

Re: SMS volume status of QUINEW?

Yes. Kind of like the Overflow group when the allocation can't be satisfied in the original group. But once in the overflow, subsequent extents must be in that group, until the dataset can be migrated. On Thu, Jul 21, 2022 at 2:17 PM Michael Watkins <032966e74d0f-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.ed

Re: z/OSMF again

I've barely worked with TSS, but when I did I would send a list of RACF commands copy/pasted from an install manual to CA support, and they would reply with the TSS equivalents. They never complained and never rubbed my nose in a manual, so I figured this was standard procedure. Kind of remin

Re: z/OSMF again

Just generate the RACF commands and convert them. Or generate them and send them to Broadcom and have them convert them. Sometimes the cookbooks lag or they don't have the latest stuff. So unless they've updated the cookbooks lately, I wouldn't use the stuff in the cookbooks for your ZOSMF setup

Re: IWS Agent for z/OS - SSL Configuration

I think Colin has pointed you in the right direction. I wonder if (alternatively) you could configure IBM Z Workload Scheduler for HTTP (unencrypted) traffic but then use z/OS AT-TLS to provide the TLS 1.2+ support with your desired cipher suites. — — — — — Timothy Sipples Senior Architect Digi

Re: INFOPRINT SERVER EXPERIENCE

While you can have the output delivered in PDF format, we don't support the data transforms, we call a routine that formats the output as a PDF, I thin the op is looking for something that performs the actual transforms like from IBM, LRS or Makinney systems Brian On Thu, 21 Jul 2022 14:13:36
