Allow the number of JES2 NODES to be reduced without a cold start

We have a number of JES2 environments which have evolved over time. Decades ago, someone decided that it would be useful to define the NODENUM on the NJEDEF init parm as 9999, meaning we now have many systems defined with 9999 possible nodes. We a...

Provide ability to dynamically increase JES2 initiators

Increasing the number of JES2 initiators requires a change to INITDEF PARTNUM, and then a JES2 warmstart. This is extremely disruptive and creates an outage. JES2 should provide a means to dynamically increase PARTNUM without requiring a JES2 warm...

UPDATE RACF APPCLU SESSKEY ENCRYPTION

o We are unable to connect JES2 NODES when SIGNON=SECURE is specified on systems secured by RACF and those secured by CA ACF2 and CA Top Secret. Nodes where RACF is in use on both NODES are connecting successfully albeit with a non-FIPS 140-2 comp...
