Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: 1. All users.                                *
    *                 2. All users.                                *
    *                 3. sysprogs running version.sh               *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1. Load module copy may fail due to     *
    *                      issue in temporary datasets creation,   *
    *                      used as SYSIN and SYSPRNT in the copy   *
    *                      operation.                              *
    *                      2. Due to their specific security       *
    *                      concern, customer requests for the      *
    *                      support of the ability to reject        *
    *                      user/pass authentication, and only      *
    *                      accept client cert authentication       *
    *                      connection.                             *
    *                      3. version.sh might always report GA    *
    *                      version.                                *
    ****************************************************************
    1. Due to customer SMS dataset name rules, it may not allow the
    default qualifiers defined internally by RSE mvs miner,
    specifically the second qualifier.
    2. By design, zExplorer host implementation is to accept both
    user/pass and client cert authentication.  The authentication
    method is configured specifically per remote connection.
    3. When no RSE initialization is done,  the RSE version
    reporting script (zexpl/bin/version.sh) will report the GA
    version instead of the current service level.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 1. To follow customer's specific SMS naming rules, server now
    can use the new environment variable RSE_MVS_TEMP_QUALIFIER to
    customize the second qualifier of the temporary datasets used in
    the load module copy.
    2. Server now with the new environment variable
    _RSE_CLIENT_CERT_AUTH_ONLY set to true would be able to accept
    only connections using client certificate authentication.
    3. Script updated to report correct service level.
