This change is incompatible with older RDz servers that expect JMON to bind to the default IP stack. By specifying LOOPBACK_ONLY=OFF in FEJJCNFG you can disable the new behavior, but this change is incompatible with current RDz servers that expect JMON to bind to the loopback address. As the loopback address has no TCP/IP stack affinity, support for _BPXK_SETIBMOPT_TRANSPORT has been removed. 02.JMON argument validation rejects DSN+MEMBER > 44 characters. 03.JMON stops reading spool dataset when a zero-length record is encountered due to incorrect I/O error processing. 04.JMON port handling changed in v801. This enhancement lets the JMON IVP (fekfivpj) determine the host version, so that the same IVP can be used for all versions.
Problem conclusion
01.Security enhancement where JES Job Monitor binds to loopback address only. This change is incompatible with older RDz servers that expect JMON to bind to the default IP stack. By specifying LOOPBACK_ONLY=OFF in FEJJCNFG you can disable the new behavior, but this change is incompatible with current RDz servers that expect JMON to bind to the loopback address. As the loopback address has no TCP/IP stack affinity, support for _BPXK_SETIBMOPT_TRANSPORT has been removed. 02.JMON argument validation corrected to accept DSN+MEMBER < 55 characters. 03.JMON I/O error processing corrected. 04.JMON port handling changed in v801. This enhancement lets the JMON IVP (fekfivpj) determine the host version, so that the same IVP can be used for all versions.
