MP Server / Re: Unique ID format

« Last post by Justin Derrick on Today at 08:46:55 AM »

Hi Nils.

It's not documented, but I believe it's a 64-bit random number represented as hexadecimal that just has dashes inserted in arbitrary places.

This is different than Hash values, which are SHA-256 hashes based on the contents of the documents.

Since the change you're suggesting will make alterations to DB2 database tables, you absolutely MUST test your solution thoroughly in non-prod regions.

A more supported way to do it would be to extract and load the old data into a new App Group that has the UUID configuration.

MP Server / Unique ID format

« Last post by Nils Engerby on Today at 06:39:50 AM »

Does anyone happen to know how the Unique ID values are generated by CMOD? Do they conform to any of the defined UUID versions?
We are looking into ways to create UUIDs for old documents without export/reload and it seems to be good practice to use a timestamp-first format.

z/OS Server / Re: Delegating Group User Admin Permissions(Pulling it back)

Seems from IBM that Group Owner field is the group DIRECTLY over the group. Not cascading.

Error is max return code allowed on linkedit is 0, but getting a return code of 4.

The fix is being developed, I'll publicize when available.

Fix is available:

****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1.ARS0466E SSL CONNECT ERROR. A *
* gsktrace shows EDC8105I SOCKET *
* OPERATION ON NON-SOCKET *
* 2.Message IEW2454W 9203 SYMBOL *
* IEAN4RT UNRESOLVED. NO AUTOCALL (NCAL) *
* SPECIFIED when applying a PTF *
****************************************************************
1.A zero was passed to z/OS System SSL instead of a socket.
System SSL tried to use zero for socket operations leading to
connection failure.
2.A defect in a PTF building tool caused some PTFs to not
have updated JCLIN leading to SMP/E not allocating a SYSDEFSD DD
when needed, causing the IEW2454W message
Problem conclusion

1.The correct socket is passed to z/OS system SSL.
2.The PTF tool is corrected. JCLIN for affected LMODs is
being reshipped.

z/OS Server / Delegating Group User Admin Permissions(Pulling it back)

« Last post by scott.walsh on May 15, 2024, 07:13:26 AM »

I work for a large company that has, up until recently, decentralized user admin permissions for Groups/Folders. This is changing and not working as I'd expect. The GROUP OWNER field for GROUPS correlates to the owner of the group. These seemed to be set up for cascading levels, but I think it may only work ONE level up. When I've added a new User Admin to the Owning group, they CAN'T see 3 levels down. Is this working as designed? Truly a "flat" design?

Tips and Tricks / Server migration for a CMOD 10.5.0.5 implementation

« Last post by GentleGiant on May 14, 2024, 07:16:00 AM »

We're moving the DEV CMOD environment to newer hardware The new server is running Linux version 9.x and a OS upgrade on the current server IS NOT possible for us so here's what I think we can do to move the application to newer Linux 9.x hardware

Stop CMOD on the Linux 7.x server
Stop the remote CMOD DB instance
Recursively replicate file system and objects in /opt/IBM/cmod/cache1 to the new server
Stand up a Linux 9.x server with the same users, groups and file systems as my Linux 7.x environment
Install CMOD 10.5 from scratch on the new hardware
From the 7.x server, copy everything in the /opt/IBM/cmod/ibm/ondemand/V10.5/config directory for migration to the 9.x server.
(Including but not limited to files:
ars.cache
ars.cfg
ars.dbf
ars.ini
arsodf.xml
ars.stash
arsxform.xml
trace.settings
unzip
zip )

Make the necessary server-specific changes to each migrated file
Start the remote CMOD DB instance
Start CMOD on the new server

The steps outlined are what I think should happen to migrate the app. Please let me know if I missed some critical steps.

MP Server / ODF IVP Available In 10.5.0.8

z/OS Server / ODF IVP now available with 10.5.0.8

« Last post by Ed_Arnold on May 13, 2024, 09:36:01 AM »

Run arsxml with the following files one at a time

/usr/lpp/ars/V10R5M0/bin/xml/samples/applgroupAdd.xml
/usr/lpp/ars/V10R5M0/bin/xml/samples/applicationAdd.xml
/usr/lpp/ars/V10R5M0/bin/xml/samples/recipientAdd.xml
/usr/lpp/ars/V10R5M0/bin/xml/samples/recipListAdd.xml
/usr/lpp/ars/V10R5M0/bin/xml/samples/rptIdAdd.xml
/usr/lpp/ars/V10R5M0/bin/xml/samples/distribAdd.xml
/usr/lpp/ars/V10R5M0/bin/xml/samples/rptBundleAdd.xml

Run arsload with

-g "Daily sales invoices" and input file /usr/lpp/ars/V10R5M0/samples/salesinvoice

If the ODF started task is up that will kick off a distributioin.

Here's a sample batch job that I use to run those arsxml commands one at a time:

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,REGION=0M
//*
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ARS.ARSV1050.SARSLOAD
