AT-TLS and CSSMTP setup

Hi, Has anyone got working directions for setting up AT-TLS with the CSSMTP server. I found the IBM manual Steps for using Transport Layer Security for CSSMTP, and went through all of the steps, but I still get stuck when I change secure=Yes in CSSMTP on a RC=8 (initial handshake) error with

YEP. management did not want to reorg a DB2 dataset with 100 extents. Did a batch update that failed when the 123rd extent filled. No more updates until reorg was completed, about 1995. On Fri, Jul 28, 2023, 12:08 Wendell Lovewell < 01e9c0ee0673-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: >

Thank you for the confirmation Radoslaw. Whatever I tried with either VSAM or PDSe, I could not get more than 123 extents on a volume. But I also never found the right document to describe the 123-extent limit. SO, I guess there wouldn't be a reason for multiple format-9 records for the same

And for my next question: what about RSYNC? I don't see it mentioned on the Co:Z web site. Didn't find it on Rocket's web site either. I thought I heard a rumor about someone porting it, but I also don't see it under the z/OS Open Tools GitHub repository. RSYNC is the tool of choice for bulk

Sounds great! I've never used Co:Z, but I always assumed it was a mod to the open source SSH code, with a new listening STC. Interesting to see John's note about it using IBM's SSH processing. I'm not sure I would have thought of that simple idea myself. Conversations in the past went like

It would be impossible to speak to highly about Co:Z - and not just about their sftp server enhancement but also their other tools. They have provided what IBM should have. Check the license - it's free with some restrictions. And they offer a full support contract as well (which I would

Re: Preferred FTP Client for Windows

Co:Z SFTP only talks SSH/SFTP. It sits "on top" of IBM's ported OpenSSH. So you need IBM's OpenSSH installed. To get/put z/OS files you do need to use some special command such as to put a text file with LRECL=80 and fixed block to z/OS ls

This is great to hear, John. Thanks. For people like me, who need excruciating clarity, you're saying that the SERVER in the Co:Z product groks traditional datasets as well as USS files. Correct? Fantastic! That means one can use a variety of clients, specifically several which go via SSH. Is

I use sftp with Co:Z SFTP installed on the z/OS side. It allows access to z/OS files as well as OMVS files. Where as OpenSSH on z/OS only allows access to OMVS files. Under Windows you can use WSL, Putty, Cygwin, or any other CLI sftp product. I use Cygwin most of the time. On Wed, 26

Before I retired I had many trips to Chinese banks to help them migrate to the next level of MQ. At the time I would say that some of them were leading edge, for example a sysplex in Beijing, and a sysplex in SHanghai, with replication both ways, so the DB2 databases were kept in sync within a
