This is very broad question, do you have a specific query, by chance?

This question is way too broad. However, listed below is overview of the key components of the IBM DevOps toolchain and their roles in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). IBM UrbanCode Deploy (UCD): Role: UCD is a crucial component for automating the deployment process. It enables continuous ...

DevOps (“development” and “operations”), in general, is the combination of practices and tools designed to increase an organization's ability to deliver applications and services faster than traditional software development processes. As such, I'd say, IBM DevOps also refers to a set of practices, t...

Assuming you are talking about India - it should all be fine, as long as the 3rd party is a registered entity.

Hope this helps,

Unless 'am mistaken, you most likely are talking about SCRNAME, please have a look at below and see if this helps: Causes the logical screen in which the command is entered to be given the screen name specified. The name can be any set of 2 to 8 characters that conform to member naming rules, except...

The short answer is "yes". For a long answer, please provide with some details.

You might want to talk to your site-support group for outlook, to get the .pst files stored for you. Or you may do it yourself if you've the admin access.

On z/OS, when linking a COBOL program that calls external functions like JNI_CreateJavaVM from a shared library or DLL, the resolution of these JNI external names is typically handled through the linkage editor, which is responsible for combining object modules and resolving external references. In ...

DB2 on mainframes, you can use the FETCH FIRST clause to retrieve a specific number of rows from a table. Here's an example of how you can get the top 5 rows from a table in SQL: SELECT * FROM your_table_name FETCH FIRST 5 ROWS ONLY; If you are looking for data based on a specific column, an "O...

Thanks for sharing what worked for you, appreciate it.

They recently changed to version 6.3, but my compilation jobs no longer work.

Along with what zum13 said, when you say, "jobs no longer work" - what happens, any error you get? Could you share the message/s from failed run?

As the name suggests - INREC is processed before the records are sorted, merged or copied. OUTREC is processed after the records are sorted, merged or copied. One might argue that for SORT FIELDS=COPY INREC and OUTREC are just same -- it can be true unless INREC and OUTREC are used in the same SORT.

You can use SEQNUM,m,f to create sequence numbers of various lengths in various formats. You can use START=j to start the sequence numbers at j instead of 1. You can use INCR=i to increment each sequence number by i instead of 1. You can use RESTART=(p,m) to start the sequence number at the starting...

As zum13 has said, there are number of dots which should get connected well to make SSH working. Without much information and logs, it's tough to help. Please answer the following questions: 1. Is the mainframe you are working with, has SSH daemon running? 2. Are the SSH keys generated and in sync? ...

A crude answer is - yes, they are development based. However, that inherently means anything which is "developed" at a given point in time, needs to be "maintained" later on -- unless, the given entity is out of business later.

Without much info on hand about the details of data you are working with, SEQNUM can work for you:
This will add a sequence number of length 5 at position 81.

Yes, you can.
