Well I was able to find a utility developed by rocket software ISFACR and it helped me to generate some commands which were required as part of my migration found that already my system had OPERCMDS enabled but other Classes were not activated. The generated command also deletes the existing OPER

ISFACR was actually written decades ago, waaay before Rocket involvement in SDSF. There is a SDSF security migration manual which has been updated recently to refer customers to some alternate simpler tools introduced via PTF. You have to be VERY careful with ISFACR as it does have a "cleanup"

I always thought this was something a union for IT workers would ask for in a contract. Why should actors get residuals every time a show runs and not the programmers every time their program runs? Written programs are every bit intellectual property as a TV program. Sent from Yahoo Mail for i

Interesting analogy. But surely there's one obvious difference: When an entertainment program runs, someone gets paid, and residuals mean whoever gets paid (by subscribers, say) has to share the receipts with the writers. But when a company runs a program they own, they don't receive any mone

I think you're both dreaming. If you wrote that program on your own time and then sold it to the customer, you could sell it on whatever terms you and they could agree on, including residuals if that's what you (and they) want. If they paid you to write it, then it's theirs, that's all. ...Un
