[[{“value”:”If you’d like to know what’s going on with your Hardware Management Console (HMC), you can do so through the updated Nagios offering from Shield Advanced Solutions. Version 2.1 of the company’s bundled AAG and NG4i offering also will automatically notify you when IBM has submitted security PTFs for the operating system or licensed products, and even download them for you.
After initially trying to use IBM’s open source Nagios software to monitor their customers’ high availability software environments, the folks at Shield Advanced Solutions took it upon themselves to develop their own Nagios distribution for the IBM i server, …

Cybercriminals Targeting American Water Infrastructure, Feds Say Alex Woodie
[[{“value”:”Overseas cybercriminal groups are ramping up their attacks on American infrastructure, including drinking water and wastewater systems, the White House Government warned last week. Considering that many local water districts rely on the IBM i server, this should serve as a wakeup call for them to bolster security before it’s too late.
In a letter addressed to the governors of all 50 states, EPA Administrator Michael Regan and Jake Sullivan, assistant to the president for National Security Affairs, warned that government security professionals have detected attacks on water systems coming from China and Iran.
One of the attack vectors was …

Four Hundred Monitor, March 27 Jenny Thomas
[[{“value”:”Every day has some sort of national designation. For instance, today, March 27 is National Scribble Day, National Little Red Wagon Day, National Spanish Paella Day, and National Joe Day (to celebrate people named “Joe”). One day you may not have heard of, however, is Q-Day, and maybe you don’t want to know. Q-Day is the time when quantum computers are powerful and stable enough to crack current encryption schemes, and depending on who you ask, it could be an immediate concern. Or not. The first article in our Top Stories looks at the team of IBM researchers who report …

LTO Cartridge – Drive Compatibility Matrix Not As Deep As You Think Timothy Prickett Morgan
[[{“value”:”A bunch of IBM i shops that must be in the process of upgrading their tape backup systems reached out to the techies that are part of the IT Jungle collective recently and expressed surprise or dismay when they thought that the LTO 9 tape drives they were looking at would be able to read tape cartridges written by LTO 7 drives or that LTO 8 drives would be able to read LTO 6 cartridges.
This, after all, has been the pattern that we have seen in the market for a long, long time. LTO 5 drives can read and …

Noob DOU %EOF help danielharner
[[{“value”:”(Code link below)
Within this loop, I’m reading the same file twice, once at the beginning (MMCCOD01) of the loop and once during the loop (MMCCOD). Is this causing my loop to prematurely end/reset? How can I get around this?
I thought changing the logical file I’m reading would be the fix but apparently not (MMCCOD and MMCCOD01).
The original chain is CODKEY and then within the loop I am chaining using CODEKEY to see if it exists in the codes file. I’m expecting after the first loop, EOF will not hit yet and it’ll move on to the next FPWSSZ because I set CODRCD back to it’s original data.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
