SRU FTP Site now HTTP

About a month ago I posted here that updates to CHARLOTTe for HTTPS were available on my VM FTP site. That's when I discovered that there were firewall issues with the VM FTP. So I have made all of the files available via HTTP. It is just a CMS FILELIST with a DOWNLOAD button on each line but

Yes. You can trigger a user defined event in TBSM via SNMP traps and/or via routing NJE messages through a managed z/OS system if you have the TBSM agent on z/OS. Drop me a note offline for more details. One of our operators has asked if there's a way to send alerts from VM to Tivoli

ESATCP and ESAMON can send SNMP alerts. Alerts can be sent on any linux or z/vm variable that esamon supports. Alan Altmark wrote: On Wednesday, 02/07/2007 at 06:07 PST, O'Brien, Dennis L Dennis.L.O'[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One of our operators has asked if there's a way to send alerts

I would like to know what the recommended procedure is for backing up the system prior to applying maintenance (and how to restore if there is a problem!!). The last time I did maintenance, I backed up 510RES with DDRXA and when PUT2PROD had errors, restored 510RES from that tape. To make a

Your first message was clear. The answer is still the same. If you are applying your maintenance to minidisks on a first-level system, then you need to backup the individual minidisks used in the maintenance process. Then if something goes wrong in your VMSES processing, you can restore the

Anne, We do our maintenance on the first level system. We rely on our daily backup process as our safety net. Since we keep backups for several months, we can go back to any prior day's image. Because we don't do maintenance every day, the MAINT disks are reasonably stable and this type of backup
