Re: Dirmaint Broken?

2009-04-16 Thread Mike Harding
Part of the problem is that MAINT 123 is no longer being seen as a full-pack minidisk. Thus you truly have overlaps with other write links - and the killer is the stable links to minidisks (probably your parm disks) contained within the same extent. You said: MAINT has MDISK 0123 3390 000

Warning: PSP bucket errors

I've already opened a couple of service link feedbacks, but beware using the PSP bucket for zvm540/0901rsu. Two of the listed PTFs give the wrong number. UM32638 (presently line item 4 in the bucket) should be UM32643 according to the APAR, while UM32648 (item 3) should be UM32649. --Mike

No, that's backwards. You permit the $SYSTEMS group to the logonby.maint resource, then users who have a connect to that group automatically have the ability to use logonby to the maint id. You would need to define the resource and do the permit for any other shared id for which you wanted to
