I am trying to auto-email a report from the LST queue, converting it to a PDF. I'm getting two emails, one as expected, and a second with an empty file. I also get an error saying the LST queue entry can't be found.

I'm using CSI TCPIP 15.E. Here is my script after the housekeeping.
SET CC = ON    
SET CRLF = ON  
SET DISP = RESPECT    
Setvar &DIR = "POWER" + "." + &PWRQUE + "." + &PWRCLAS  
CD &DIR  
SET PDF = PDFPORT    
Setvar &JBNAME = &PWRNAME    
Setvar &JBNUMB = &PWRNUMB    
Setvar &LST = &JBNAME + "." + &JBNUMB      
SET SUBJECT=ZYF010 InterSession Mismatch Report

TEXT EOD=##    
* * * * * * * * * This is a system generated message * * * * * * * * *

I have defined these:
DEFINE NAME,NAME=SCTY046,SCRIPT=SCTY046
DEFINE EVENT,ID=EMAL,TYPE=POWER,CLASS=G,QUEUE=LST,ACTION=EMAIL,  -

I must be doing something wrong, but what?

Your problem is that AutoEmail generats a "SEND" and you also have a "SEND" in your script, so the SEND in your script works and the SEND that is generated fails (since DISP=DELETE and the report is now gone), so you get a second empty one. ALso the "CD" and some other commands are automatically generated, so I would drop those too (do a SET DIAG=EMAIL to see everything generated).
 
Here is how I would simplify your script (notice the lack of an ATTACH and a SEND and a QUIT):
 
CATALOG MYSCRIPT.L EOD=/+ REP=Y

SET CRLF = ON  
SET DISP = RESPECT    
Setvar &DIR = "POWER" + "." + &PWRQUE + "." + &PWRCLAS

My commands now differ from yours in one line - I removed SET DISP because RESPECT is the default.

Hi,

 

I realize this is a VSE list, but maybe someone can help me out.  We’re running VM/ESA 2.3.  I was trying to create an iplable tape using the utility command or exec (not sure which), and I thought I had done this in the past, but it can’t seem to find it, get unknown CP/CMS command.  if it’s an exec, could someone give me a copy?

 

TIA

 

Mike

I believe you need to be linked to the MAINT 193 disk to access that command code.

Try MAINTs 193 disk, it's the UTILITY EXEC. UTILITY UTILTAPE ALL will
write DSF and DDR to the tape. HELP UTILITY should show the syntax.

Once on maint, you need to do a VMFSETUP to get linked to the correct
minidisks.
vmfsetup zvm cp
After the disks are linked you will be able to run the UTILITY EXEC.

Hi,  We’re running VSE/ESA 2.6.2 and CICS/TS 1.1.  I’ve searched the archives and manuals, but can’t seem to find a way to change the password length to 8.  Is there a way to do this?

 

TIA

        At z/VSE v3, the following BSM commands were added.  Prior to this, there was a program which executed during ASI JCL processing for BG which set password related parameters -- but I don't remember the name of the program.  Does that jog anyone else's memory?

PERFORM PASSWORD REVOKE(4)  
PERFORM PASSWORD LENGTH(6)  
PERFORM PASSWORD WARNING(9)
PERFORM PASSWORD HISTORY(12)

All I can find is IESIRCVT is executed at startup, but I can’t find if this level of VSE will let me set the length.

Mike,

I seam to recall that it was in the ieselogo member (ICCF 59)- but I am
not realy sure.

Can't verify, I am on 4.2.

ANYWAY...

once setting just a min length is not enough and you want more (like 6
chars and 1 special char and one digit -or- no repeat with just a digit
changing -or- no dirty words etc) you might want to check this:

http://www.pi-sysprog.de/prod/cpw/indexe.html

pls use the full link (otherwise you get the german version)

It is an ICHRTX00 exit, which gets control before the security-system
(BSM or ESM) takes the password and does whatever is needed with the
password.

Hello Mike and Martin

Mike, you are right. There is nothing in the 2.6.x IESELOGO
that
Forces the number of password characters.

On z/VSE 4.1.x, you would need to use the BSTADMIN commands that Dave
has indicated.

It does seem to me that the IESCNTL file had a field that determined the

Minimum PASSWORD length.

I am looking for my IESCNTL layout now.

IESIRCVT is the correct program. 
 
Here's the doc I have:

Hello Stephen,
the information posted about IESIRCVT is quite correct. One thing to
remark is: if you don't specify a value for 'REVOKE' the value from
IESELOGO is taken and put into the security manager control vector
table.
What you should also note is: IESIRCVT was meant as an interim
solution. Starting with z/VSE 3.1.1 the VSE basic Security Manager
itself maintains these settings and therefore IESIRCVT is obsolete from
z/VSE 3.1.1 and higher. The drawback from IESIRCVT is that it has to be
executed (each time) during startup to initialize the BSM control
vector. Now in z/VSE 3.1.1 you set the values with the BSM admin
utility (BSTADMIN) ONCE and the BSM keeps the values in the BSM data
base and initializes the control vector on his own. With this new
approach you can drop IESIRCVT from USERBG proc. (If you still execute
IESIRCVT in z/VSE 3.1.1 it 'overwrites' the values set by BSM, so it
does not really hurt the system. But you may get confused what values
are valid...).
 
Best regards,
Klaus-Dieter Wacker

Mike,

Go to bit.listserv.vse-l  on Google and search for ‘forcing iui password length’ and ‘change password screen’.  You should find a post from Wayne Mery and others that looks something like below.  I played around with this on 2.6 but now I am unable to find the alter I used.   You may also want to look a phase IESEUPM.  I have an incomplete note about it.  Hope this helps.

 

<snip>

Thanks Martin.

The final results, in ESA 2.3.1 the offset must be adjusted and I
made additional changes ...

 IESXPWD +1460 V=0003 R=0006            password length check
 IESECPW +196  V=F360F6 R=F64040        "CHANGE PASSWORD" panel IESADMPWD

I also used ditto to fix up IESTRFL for
1) the error message in
  'PASSWORD MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 6 CHARACTERS'
2) the help panel IESSERHLP1 to be
   'The password must be      6 alphanumeric...'
