HCP743E from DIAL command on Integrated 3270 Console

On our z/VM system running a CMS workload, the OPERATOR userids runs disconnected. Human operators open a PComm session to that VM system, and issue DIAL OPERATOR to establish a connection to VM:Operator running on the OPERATOR userid. DIAL OPERATOR is authorized by VM:Secure rules only for

The code you are proposing to modify was likely written before the Integrated 3270 Console existed. The writers of the code did not prevent using the DIAL command. They just never allowed it. Some future release of VM will probably include that capability. Mike Walter wrote: But CP responds

Why don't the operators log on with their userid and then LINK VMRMAINT 193 and issue VMYIAMOP ? (this way, each VMOPER user can even be tailored to its needs, for example some people at my customer's installations have view for the DB2 servers, I don't. The tailoring is done can creating a x

My Windows desktop hung during start-up this morning. It seems that it was trying to start hundreds of instances of Outlook instead of the usual 1. I had to use the big hammer, the power off button, because it couldn't even respond to the 3-finger salute. Don't you love stable systems?

You guys are bringing back a lot of great memories.However, I'm sure that many of you can recall the days of VM/XA, when things were a little different. We can all thank the efforts of a lot of great VM development types in Endicott and formerly Kingston for cleaning up VM during that

That is indeed an excellent record of reliability. If you change your criteria slightly, change ABEND to defect, you eliminate the need for the exemption. At USAir (before the name was changed to US Airways), we had a VM/ESA system run for 10 months without any outage, scheduled or not. An

VM/XA was very reminiscent of the VM/370 Release 2 days with one exception. We had as many problems, but we didn't have any of the OCO nonsense in the earlier days. The developers were quite eager to hear about the customers' problems and what they did to solve them. I think that we have to thank
