These specialized applications are described in separate publications that are listed in IBM System/370 Bibliography,GC20-0001. To learn about VSAM or to write programs that create and process VSAM data sets, refer to: .. Planning for Enhanced VSAM Under OS/VS, GC26-3842, which introduces VSAM and describes its concepts and functions. • OS/VS Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) Programmer's Guide, GC26-3838, which describes how to create VSAM data sets and code the macro instructions required to process them. • OS/VS2 Access Method Services, GC26-3841, describes the service program commands used to manipulate VSAM data sets. • OS/VS Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) Options for Advanced Applications, GC26-3819, which describes applications not required in the normal use of VSAM. If you know how to write assembler-language programs and use job control statements, you can use this book and OS/VS2 MVS Data Management Macro Instructions, GC26-3873, to write programs that create and process data sets. To use this book you must have basic knowledge of the operating system as contained in OS/VS2 Release 3 Guide, GC28-0770; of assembler language as described in OS/VS-DOS/VS-VM/370 Assembler Language, GC33-4010; and of job control language (JCL) as explained in OS/VS2 JCL, GC28-0692. This book has three parts: "Part 1: Introduction to Data Management" introduces you to the characteristics of data· sets, how you name them, how the system catalogs them, and how you format the records in them. The format of tracks on a direct-access storage device is explained briefly. Part 1 also describes the data control block (DCB) andthe information it supplies to the operating system. Special processing routines that you specify in the DCB macro instruction are also explained in this section. In "Part 2: Data Management Processing Procedures" there is an explanation of data-processing techniques that includes the macro instructions for the queued access technique and the basic access technique and the macro instructions for analyzing input and output errors. The section on data-processing techniques also tells how to select an access method and how to begin and end processing of a data set. The section "Buffer. Acquisition and Control" in Part 2 explains three different methods you can use to obtain buffers and the macro instructions you use with each method. This section also describes ways to control buffers: simple buffering for the queued access technique, direct buffering and dynamic buffering for the basic access technique. In addition, for the queued access technique, there is an explanation of the four modes of moving the records in virtual storage: move mode, data mode, locate mode, and substitute mode. Macro instructions for controlling buffers are described here, too. The next four sections of Part 2 concern processing data sets of four different types: a sequential data set, a partitioned data set, an indexed sequential data set, and a direct data set. They explain the organization of the data sets and the macro instructions used to process them. In the examples the macro instructions are coded in just enough detail Preface 3 Page of GC26-3875-O Revised June 29, 1979 By TNL GN26-0944 to make the examples clear. For a complete description of the operands and options available, see OS/VS2 MVS Data Management Macro Instructions, GC26-3873. "Part 3: Data Set Disposition and Space Allocation" tells you how to figure the amount of space you need for a data set on a direct-access storage device and how to request that space in your JCL DD statement. You are given special directions for allocating space for a partitioned data set and an indexed sequential data set. Part 3 also tells how to indicate in the JCL DD statement the status of the data set at the beginniIig of and during processing and how to indicate what you want the system to do with the data set when processing has terminated. You also are told how to use the DD statement to route the data set to a system output writer, to concatenate data sets, to catalog data sets, and to protect confidential data sets. Appendix A describes data set labeling. Appendix B explains control characters you can use to control card punches and printers. A glossary of acronyms and abbreviations used in this book and the index follow Appendix B.

It runs under OS/360 MVT that supports multiple application program interaction with operators of CRT (cathode ray tube) display stations and of .a teletype. Key. design features discussed include:1) an interface. allowing application programs to be coded in either PL/I or assembler language; 2) use of the teletype for:subsystem control and diagnostic purposes; and 3)a novel interregional conduit allowing an application program running under the Chapel Hill Alphanumeric Terminal (CHAT)_: monitor to interact--like a terminal operator--with a conversational language processor in another region of the OS/360 installation.

  • Wwpass External Authentication Solution for IBM Security Access Manager 8.0
    WWPass External Authentication Solution for IBM Security Access Manager 8.0 Setup guide Enhance your IBM Security Access Manager for Web with the WWPass hardware authentication IBM Security Access Manager (ISAM) for Web is essentially a "reverse Web-proxy" which guards access to a number of enterprise Web services. In its basic form, users authenticate into ISAM protected resources with login / password pairs. This kind of authentication is vulnerable to multiple well-known attacks. At the same time user names and passwords are always a compromise between simplicity and security. ISAM comes with rigorous password policy, thus insisting on secure and hard to remember passwords. WWPass External Authentication Solution (EAS) provides strong hardware authentication and at the same time removes username/password pairs completely. WWPass EAS is a Web service which utilizes ISAM External Authentication Interface (EAI) and is to be installed and configured as an ISAM External Authenticator junction. -- When user authenticates at ISAM server, the request is transparently rerouted to WWPass Web application. On success, ISAM gets user DN (distinguished name) and forwards user to destination Web resource. ISAM / WWPass external authentication architecture WWPass Corporation 1 ISAM / WWPass external authentication message flow 1. User tries to access protected resource 2. ISAM WebSeal intercepts and redirects user request to WWPass authentication server. User is presented WWPass web page. 3. User clicks on "Login with WWPass" button and starts WWPass
