I would like to transfer files from Unix machine to Mainframe system (using Unix machine as client). The transfer process need to be secure (ie. data sent thro network should be encrypted using 128-bit encryption algorithm). I came to understand that SFTP server is not available for Mainframe...
Hi, My program is creating a delimited flat file on the mainframe. I want to send this file to various users using either IEBGENER or IBMFTP as a CSV file. My problem is that although the file is sent successfully as a .CSV file but when the user opens the CSV file he finds that for some of the...
If I APPLY more than one SYSMOD to SMP/E, and the APPLY fails, due to the fact that there is insufficient space in one of the target libraries, and the compress fails too, causing the entire job to fail, what does SMP/E do to the SYSMODs that were applied before the job failed? For Example: I...

The catch is I want to be able to upload the file again to a mainframe and then be able to run IEBCOPY from that uploaded dataset to restore the PDS. ...
I am attempting to configure the LAN adapter on a MP3000 Integrated Server. Using DEVMAP, I define a pair of addresses(even/odd) as E22/E23 and select device type of 3088, and a device driver type 9 (LCS3172). When I attempt to activate, OS/2 dumps, abends, and the whole machine re-boots, runs...

If we use a 9037 as the time source to provide the time for the z/OS (or OS/390) system, what will happen to the clock that the zSeries box already has? Is the clocking going to be entirely external and the internal clock is then sort of paralyzed and no longer used, so that when the 9037 clock...
I have two versions of z/OS running in the same sysplex. Therefore I have different PROCLIB concatenations on the different LPARs. I can direct the batch jobs using the jobclass to be running on the different LPARs. My problem is that I have different PROCs with the same name on the different...

My shop is currently looking for testing packages for batch (mostly cobol, some assembler) applications as well as our online CICS applications. We are z/OS shop using IMS and a very limited amount of DB2. We are looking at CA-InterTest, Xpediter, and SmartTest. In addition to the usual testing...
What are five best rules of thumb when reviewing output from system monitors for preventing future problems. The system monitors could be any SMF/RMF MICS TSO/MON MXG OMEGAMON system monitor type report for reporting on the mainframe. Example might be 1. sustained CPU utilization over 85% 2....
Our user departments have been talking about getting off the mainframe over the last several years. Recently, our CIO informed department heads that we would discontinue the mainframe by the end of 2007. It is possible that these departments could decide, "we really didn?t mean it" and push back,...
