If so, you could require FTP to use the 1G.
I’m not sure the best way to have traffic default to 10G; OMPRoute might push
most traffic that way. There are other ways.

Hello,
Friends recently upgraded 2.4 to 2.5, and found that some previous controls
(eg.AUPDT) no longer work as before. I said I believe those controls moved from
parmlib to RACF.
We’re getting mixed feedback on that theory.
What say you?
Am I half right/wrong?
Are there exits, mods, exceptions,
I like the idea of not having to hit a key, not because of that one
keystroke but because I move between accounts/machines/emulators and I don’t
always know where the Reset key is.
I agree it should not assume or simply put my keystrokes into the next
available field.
Would it be enough to si
Agreed. I was observing this as part of a z/OS v3.1 update, and a hour after
the IPL, while everything else was checking out fine, I noticed z/OSMF was
still hogging all the CPU it could get. My experienced peers said that was
common, and this shop needed a bigger box and a zIIP.

We intend to require ALL traffic on 7.7.7.8 be AT-TLS encrypted.
Then test and migrate apps, independently, on to 7.7.7.8.

That was my experience. I inherited RACF at my old shop, and never thought much

We had one box, w Prod/Test/Tech LPARs, and one RACF. No problems.
