RE: [Bulk] Re: [Bulk] Re: iASP security

The SAVRSTPGM will restore objects into a library and establish the LPP. It
then can run a program that can continue to do anything it needs to do.

PTFs are the same, a program actually does the work to
restore/replace/update objects. That program can do what it needs to do.

+1 again - Jim, does SAVLICPGM present any kind of challenge here? Is
there a program that could go get the stuff in the iASP when SAVLICPGM is
executed?

Thx

Mark,

True an LPP has to exist in *SYSBAS but that does not stop that same
LPP from installing whatever it would like into an iASP. So put the
minimum set of objects in *SYSBAS needed and restore everything else
into an iASP. PTF application can be done the same way. You cite a
restriction that is trivial.

Vern:

When ISVs use IBM's software packaging APIs so that customers can
install their software as an LPP using the RSTLICPGM command, all of
the software components installed by RSTLICPGM must reside in *SYSBAS.
(This is just one more example.)

Each vendor or ISV product in use will be different -- some will fully
support IASPs and others may support IASPs only in a limited way, or
not at all.

I was involved in getting some RJS products to work in an iASP - it
really wasn't all that difficult - not completely trivial, but the
restrictions have become less onerous over time.

It is necessary to consider the things you cite, AND I think it your
caution is a bit over-stated, based on my own experience.

RJS did not have any objects that had to be in *SYSBAS only - other
products and applications will need to look at those objects -
largely configuration objects and other system things, as I recall.
