Re: Do you need a coupling facility to implement DVIPA?

Classification: Confidential I have set up something similar. I called it a "toggle-plex". (2 LPAR base sysplex in one box). This was set up as a base sysplex with CTC's for GRS (and VTAM/TCPIP) communication. (yes I did use a DVPIP). PARMLIBs/PROCLIBs/Catalogs were shared. (note there is some

I am not familiar with IOF functionality, however I do know that many years ago SDSF added the ability to issue action commands using the "row number" of the panel object. To enable this facility issue "SET ROWNUM ON" to see the row numbers on each panel to the right of the "NP" column, and th

TSO Rexx C2X Incorrect Output

Hi, I am writing a TSO Rexx Exec to Parse fields from a DCOLLECT output (VB/32756/32760). One statement is: created=C2x(Substr(dcollect.i,105,4)) (In DCOLLECT parlance, this is DCDCREDT). For any date greater than 2000-01-01, I get the expected result. But, when the field contains x'1999160F' (I

There's a thing called DCOLREXX here - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.4.0?topic=tools-arctools-job-sample-tool-members Don't know if it'll meet your exact needs, but REXX parsers for DCOL data are already out there. - KB --- Original Message --- On Monday, April 24th, 2023 at 8:40 PM

We used Cyberark at a former employer. Starting around 2014 or 15. Our security department, none of whom had mainframe experience, chose it to solve a problem we didn’t have. I’m pretty sure the head of security read about it on a flight. Or an auditor did. It slows down everything on the MF. In
