Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

I think I posted this in another forum, but my PC crashed. The customer in question is migrating from z/OS 2.1 (where JES/328X runs fine) to 2.2 so I was looking for compatibility info, but I could not find it. The latest think I could find was an announcement letter Last revised on January 12, 1999...

Thanks Enrico, That's the sort of general advice we were already given, however, we are not print experts, and so if we were to present the options to the customer, they'd probably want details, such as cost, which we're not supposed to talk about, or effort required, which we're not supposed to giv...

We still have several accounts that run JES/328X, and, although most of the definitions are 'dead' there is regula...

Hi, My customer has secure telnet for several of their system. They are still at z/OS 1.12 (an will be till next year). They have advised me that TLS 1.0 should be migrated to TLS 1.2, by June 30. Note that they are not configured for AT_TLS. I have spent a couple of days trying to find out how. One...

Hi, I'm with AT&T, for the past 7 or 8 years - was IBM for almost 30 years. Mostly I've been a Network Systems programmer for both VM and MVS, however, education budgets being what they have been, I have some gaps in my skills/knowledge, especially with the newer z/OS stuff. I'm hoping to get so...
