I'm hosting another Webcast this Friday (June 9) at 11:00 AM Singapore time
(03:00 UTC). This time it's about the z/OS Authorized Code Scanner (zACS).
zACS is an important tool to help keep Program Call and Supervisor Call
routines secure. You really don't want unauthorized code to fetch or upda

4096? That sounds like it is tuned to the underlying CI structure of zFS.
Would you consider performance parameters on DCBE to be cheating?

How would the OS prevent it? There are lots of unauthorized services tied into
the CVT, so fetch-protecting the PSA isn't viable.

I came to a new shop at this time last year. Me predecessor did all of the

So not "the generic IBM-provided versions, without any of our customizations.".
Applying an installation delta to copiesof the IBM /etc and /var as part of the
installation process sounds like best practice to me. Of course, you also need
procedures for service that hits them.

If you're authorized, you could of course disable and then use some CPU-related
area as the STCK/STCKF/STCKE target.
The comments on PSATIME_ON_CP are pretty clear about what it is.

True, which is why a colourized and visually easy interface to viewing the diff
(like the diff view in GitHub or JetBrains IDEs) is important to make its use a
lot easier.
