 |
|
Hi all.
Just one question from me..
Can we asterix the text in our JCL..
For example, I want to asterix the password that I put in the dataset.. So no one know what is my password.
Correct me if I am wrong. |

iknow,
Never ever put a password in a dataset. If people have access to view your datasets then it can be seen. You can submit a JCL with password parameter on the jobcard and if any one looked at the SDSF output of the JCL , the password is not visible.

everytime you run the job, open the job (member) in view mode type your password and then submit the job, by this no one sees it other than you and the person standing behing you. SDSF will take care of substituting ******* as your password and also even if you come out of VIEW by mistake there won't be an autosave. It will prompt you to save.
I think you also know that if the job you are submitting is creating datasets then password parameter is not required in the jobcard. You need not put your userid and password in the jobcard unless if you are giving it to someone else.
Ok now my question is can we know the computer name from which the user logged in. If I log in from one machine and later on log in from another machine and we identify??? UNIX will display the last time the user logged in and also the system name. |

Just do not let them see your password!
Also, do not get into the habit of having JCLs around with USER already coded in the JOB Card. some peopel just submit whatever job they eventually need without paying atention to the Job card. If this happens the job will fail (provided you didn't leave your password written down there!, as mentioned by kolosu). I think you know what will happen with your userid/password once they run UNSUCCESFULLY several times (Three in most shops). The answer is simple, your password gets REVOKED.

I still don't get this . Why do you need to store the password in a dataset in the first place? If you are submitting your own jobs you don't need the password.
If you are so secretive about your datasets, set up acf2 rules , so that no one can access the datasets.

Ravi,
My shop has acf2 and the moment we log on we are shown the following message
| Code: |
ACF82000 ACF2, LOGON IN PROGRESS
ACF01137 userid LAST SYSTEM ACCESS 10.44-01/24/06 FROM xxxx0843
|
Hope this helps...
Cheers

Iknow,
what kind of a Moron are you ? Don't you have any shame ? You just post questions here and all the answers you get here are posted on
http://Mcmillan_The_Moron.com/index.php
And you are a moderator over that *bleep* board ?
As of today you are banned on this site

Kolusu,
Do you want me to assume a new role on this Board? Namely "crap-detector"?
I was suspicious of this guy a long time ago, hence my sarcastic answer in this old post http://www.mvsforums.com/helpboards/viewtopic.php?t=5659
He would ask a question, being seemingly ignorant, and after someone replies, it seems as if all of a sudden he has a whole deal to say, often in correcting or adding to the replies received.
Eagerly awaiting your reply  |
