OD/WEK & JAVA API / Re: ODWEK CGI :(

« on: June 21, 2018, 01:00:56 PM »

Resolved with a PMR.   Apparently with 9.5 you need to use the default path.  They had installed ODWEK to a different path. 

Updated the default arswww.ini and away we go!

And yes, I have already advised them to get off this old old old CGI!

Cheers

OD/WEK & JAVA API / ODWEK CGI :(

« on: June 21, 2018, 07:14:39 AM »

Yes, we still are using the CGI. 

We are trying to move to a Windows 2016 server but are not able to get anything out of the CGI.  Has anyone tried to use the CGI on a Win2016 server?  Even the tracing is not opening a trace file.

Also tried to start up IIS to see if that would help debug the issue but it has not been successful either, any tips there would be helpful too.

Installed V9.5.0.10 of CMOD

Thanks

z/OS Server / Re: Encryption for CM OnDemand on Z/OS

« on: May 23, 2018, 11:00:27 AM »

That does appear to be the case!   

Not sure how I missed that in my original search.   

Guess, I need to upgrade to 10.1 now.   Thanks for pointing out the obvious, my bad!

Cheers

z/OS Server / Encryption for CM OnDemand on Z/OS

« on: May 23, 2018, 08:21:49 AM »

Did anyone try to start arssockd using -d parm for enabling encryption?

Guide shows this command:  arssockd -I <INSTANCE> -d "keystore_location=CKDS,keystore_mkl=*"

//ARSSOCKD EXEC PGM=ARSSOCKD,REGION=0M,TIME=NOLIMIT,               
//   PARM='/-S -I TESTDB -d "keystore_location=CKDS,keystore_mkl=*"'

I get

ARS1102E Invalid option >-d< for command >ARSSOCKD<
or
ARS1102E Invalid option >-D< for command >ARSSOCKD<

Current server version is 9.5.0.9.

Thanks, any other requirements for DB2 V12 with V9.5 of CMOD?

Are you not able to access ARSXML?   I am pretty sure you don't have to run ARSXML on the server but you can setup your local computer to process the files.   You would need to install a dummy server on your local machine and then point it to your actual server.

Other / Re: CMOD on Mainframe - zOS

Agreed, any platform you are most comfortable working on/with is the best option.  It is also worth mentioning that what platform you are most efficient at writing the custom exits on should also play a factor in your choice.   Plus depending on what security model you want to use OnDemand/LDAP/RACF you might lean towards the same platform to keep it simpler.   My two cents

Report Indexing / Re: XLS to XLSX conflict

« on: April 04, 2018, 08:08:09 AM »

It sounds like you used the same application id.   Not a good idea.  I suggest you create a new application id for XLSX and map both to the same folder.  User won't know the difference but OnDemand will pull the correct extension.

Report Indexing / Re: Updating multiple Indexs

« on: March 26, 2018, 07:19:42 AM »

Are you saying ARSXML is not an option for your team?  ARSXML is the way to go. 

1. ARSXML to unload
2. Use a script to delete the line in the reports
3. ARSXML to update

Windows Client / Re: Folder update

« on: March 14, 2018, 08:38:13 AM »

I don't believe that is supported.  The simple method is.

1. Copy existing folder to a new-temp-folder
2. Make any updates required (as you noted below)
3. Rename or delete the original folder
4. Remane new-temp-folder back to original name

Windows Client / Re: Not autherized to do unloads

« on: March 01, 2018, 08:32:26 AM »

It sounds really familiar.  You don't say what platform so here is what I suggest you look at.

On our Z/OS instance - Security Exit
         i. ARSUSECX - We have a custom assembler exit for RACF
         ii. ARSUSECC - (we didn't modify it but it had to be compiled and placed in the user Exit path)
         iii. ARSUPERM is required if using a Security Exit  (we didn't modify it but it had to be compiled and placed in the user Exit path)

If you are using a custom security Exit make sure you have both the arsusec and arsuperm in the ARS_USER_EXITS_DIR=/your/custom/path/here

MP Server / Re: Index Exit should be placed

« on: February 02, 2018, 12:06:25 PM »

It might be the same issue I had on Z/OS. 

See my post http://www.odusergroup.org/forums/index.php?topic=2209.0

You need to have a different directory from IBM Exits and it must be in your ars.cfg file.

MP Server / Re: Cache only - No TSM?

« on: February 02, 2018, 12:00:41 PM »

Thanks, however I didn't get a vote in this direction.  The storage folks want to shutdown TSM.

Does anyone know of a process to repatriate off of TSM back to CACHE?

MP Server / Cache only - No TSM?

« on: January 30, 2018, 01:30:55 PM »

Hello,

We are looking to get away from using TSM and use either NAS or a cloud-based filesystem.  Does anyone have any comments, suggestions on dropping TSM.  (not my choice but a strategic decision)
We don't have Swift and I don't know about using HFDS either but we do have IBM Object Storage (Cleversafe) .

Thanks
