Important news

March 16, 2007 SecureFTP and AES support available via PTF for z/VSE V4.1
Support for SecureFTP and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with key lengths of 128, 192, and 256 bits is now available with TCP/IP for VSE/ESA on z/VSE V4.1.
On z9 BC and z9 EC servers, AES 128-bit key support is also available via the CPACF feature.
Support for SecureFTP is provided with APAR PK39262 (PTF UK22143); the AES support with APAR PK39279 (PTF UK22086 for z/VSE 4.1).
After PTF installation, these functions can be used with the TCP/IP Application Pak license. For a detailed description on how to use SecureFTP please refer to manual "TCP/IP for VSE Optional Features Guide Version 1 Release 5E", which is provided by Connectivity Systems, Inc. for download.

Note: The AES Support is available for z/VSE 3.1 users with PTF UK22085.
November 11, 2006 TCP/IP for VSE Service Pack E (APAR PQ87041) is now available.
For VSE/ESA 2.7 the PTF number is UK19329.
For z/VSE 3.1 the PTF number is UK19330.
For VSE/ESA 2.6 we are no longer providing PTFs because this CLC 1OQ is out of service since 03/31/2006.

Note: Before installing Service Level E, be sure to read the Problem Summary, especially the Security section and perform the required actions.

January 14, 2003 TCP/IP for VSE/ESA V1.5 became available. For more information on this new release, please go to the TCP/IP for VSE/ESA V1.5 web site or the Connectivity Systems Incorporated web site.

TCP/IP for VSE Service Pack F The following problems are also fixed with this APAR:
  • ZP15F101 - Outbound UDP datagrams (used for DNS look-up) do not properly resolve the ARP (MAC address) of the DNS server or gateway.
  • ZP15F102 - Telnet Daemons attempt restart during shutdown.
  • ZP15F201 - When an asynchronous "base" socket is closed, a queued "accept" socket may still be left allocated and in a listen state. This may cause a subsequent bind request to fail.
  • ZP15F301 - Email client shows XPCC ERROR with long POWER queues.
  • ZP15F302 - Outgoing emails rejected as "spam".
  • ZP15F303 - ABEND when a REXX CGI routine uses the HTML() function.

TCP/IP for VSE Service Pack E
The following problems are also fixed with this APAR:

  • ZP15E201: FTPBATCH hangs when transferring a TYPE=VSAMCAT file. When using TYPE=VSAMCAT, a problem with the DEFINE CLUSTER process of IPNFVCAT might cause one of the following conditions:
    1. FTPBATCH abend
    2. FILE NOT FOUND after a DEFINE
    3. DEFINE ERROR
  • ZP15E202: DBCS translation fails with IPN944E message. An incorrect test is being performed on DBCS translation buffers.

Note: Before installing Service Level E, be sure to read the Problem Summary, especially the Security section and perform the required actions.
