Hi George,
If you are only using z/VM as a hypervisor for Linux guests (or otherwise

you have to keep in mind that those will get out of sync on
Sure. You have at least two CATAA EXEC files in your search. The LISTFILE
on line 9 returns at least two stacked items which start CATAA ...
You PULL the first off of the stack on Line 11, and then EXIT on line 15.
EVERYTHING else that was on the stack now gets dumped out to CMS.
Just checking the filemode of the program will not guarantee that that it is
running from MAINT 31A.If I:
ACCESS 191 X
Then execute CATAA with Parse Source in it, the Parse Source will show it is
running from the mdisk accessed as X - but it's my 191, not the MAINT 31A.

Hi Folks,
We have successfully tested and implemented SSL/TLS for FTP in both
explicit (AUTH TLS) and implicit modes, works great.
I'm presently testing encryption for the TN3270 (i.e. INTCLIEN) server
and have a couple of questions.
With FTP in IMPLICIT mode the connection is secured by
Hi Miguel,
Thanks Miguel, you confirmed my understanding - but the darned client
isn't behaving the way it should. The client is Attachmate InfoConnect
8.1.
When a TN3270 client connects using SSL in Config 1 (explicit, no SECURE
parm on PORT) I see the connection open, the IP and port are

I am from the old school when RAM was expensive (and limited) and disk
was slow, I remember the good old days of HPO defining SWAP, Preferred

Hi Folks,
What value is there in defining XSTORE these days? Aside from the
ability to attach XSTORE to specific virtual machines, wouldn't it be
best to just make it all DPA and let CP manage it?
Also, assuming you aren't paging much - is attaching XSTORE to a userid
going to provide a VERY

Hi Alan,
A cheat sheet with the basics that folks need to create, import,
export and manage keys and certificates would be a HUGE help. A lot of
shops have never used BFS until now, so just getting up to speed on the

The hang you are referring to is the VM READ that occurs after you IPL

Yes. It's not a technical problem so much as a policy problem.
