Paul Rogers account of his own life is compelling and factual. In his own words he describes how he went from a normal, everyday hard working person, to being visited by an Angel who gave him a message that would alter his life forever and then discovering his new found abilities as a Medium. From there he would have a chance meeting with renowned psychic and ghost investigator Peter James, who would become his mentor. His pursuit of the unexplained would take him into many households where residents who are desperate to remove the invading ghost, would contact him in a last ditch effort to bring back normal and peaceful living conditions. Along the way he takes on ghosts that attack at night or during the day. Homes with so many ghosts that the homeowners felt suffocated and scared for their lives. His daring attitude and fearlessness would take him into an abandoned hospital, an antique warehouse and to the State of Missouri where he would go to a house to take on the dead owner''s ghost. He would also help by emotionally healing people who are despondent over losing a loved one, by contacting their loved one and communicating with them. And lastly in his own words his own true ghost story, which left him and his wife unnerved during a peaceful weekend retreat.

This IBM Redbooks publication describes the implementation of RACF℗ʼ in z/OS℗ʼ Version 1 Release 8. This release continues to deliver industry leadership for security. Improvements have been introduced to further enhance the security-rich environment z/OS users rely on. These enhancements include: - RACF support for virtual key rings to treat the collection of all the certificates owned by one user ID, including the SITE and CERTAUTH reserved user IDs, as an independent key ring. The use of the CERTAUTH virtual key ring will help to eliminate the need to manually create multiple real key rings for SSL-enabled z/OS client applications such as FTP. - RACF template extensions allow templates to expand beyond their current 4K size. - RACF supports the use of passwords longer than eight characters, now called password phrases. - The RACF access control module exit, DSNXRXAC, has changed substantially with DB2℗ʼ version 9. A RACF administrators can now define a security rule before an object is created and preserve the rule for a dropped object. In addition, RACF general resources for member and group profiles can be used by an installation to protect multiple DB2 resources with a single RACF profile. - A new parameter on the IRRUT200 utility tells the utility to activate the backup data set printed to as output. This is accomplished by the utility internally issuing an RVARY ACTIVE for the backup data set after the copy is complete. IRRUT200 and IRRUT400 utilities now check whether their output data sets are active primary or backup RACF data sets on this system. - RACF in z/OS V1R8 provides a solution to some functional gaps in the way that change logging of RACF profile updates were reflected in z/OS LDAP, and an enhancement is made to LISTUSER to demonstrate whether password enveloping is enabled for a user. In addition to describing the new features, this book includes detailed steps for implementing these enhancements. It explains how to configure them for your installation and how to use them to increase the security of your environment.

This IBM Redbook describes problem diagnosis fundamentals and analysis methodologies for the z/OS system. It provides guidelines for the collection of relevant diagnostic data, tips for analyzing the data, and techniques to assist in identifying and resolving of Language Environment, CICS, CICSPlex/SM, MQSeries, VTAM, and DB2 problems. Also described are some diagnostic procedures that are not purely z/OS, but that are related to the various platforms (UNIX and Windows) where IBM software executes and interacts with z/OS in a Client/Server or distributed framework topology. This document shows you how to: - Adopt a systematic and thorough approach to dealing with problems - Identify the different types of problems - Determine where to look for diagnostic information and how to obtain it - Interpret and analyze the diagnostic data collected - Escalate problems to the IBM Support Center when necessary Diagnostic data collection and analysis is a dynamic and complex process. This redbook shows you how to identify and document problems, collect and analyze pertinent diagnostic data and obtain help as needed, to speed you on your way to problem resolution.

In this IBM Redbooks publication, we describe how to configure the various components of an e-business solution to exploit the availability and scalability benefits of zSeries and Parallel Sysplex using multiple LPARs running Linux for zSeries and z/OS. This publication applies to WebSphere for z/OS V6, and is a continuation of the project evaluating high availability using WebSphere for z/OS V5 and V4. Presented in three parts (theory, systems setup, and availability tests), we cover workload balancing, the use of HTTP sessions, various architectures, and how to set up and test your infrastructures. Considerations for configuring the systems and applications in an e-business environment are also examined, and we address such questions as: - Should there be separate front-end systems for running the WebSphere Application Server? - How should e-business components be configured to minimize or eliminate the impact of a system outage? - What is the best way to communicate between the WebSphere systems and the back-end application systems? - What is the impact on the end user if there is a failure in one of the front-end or back-end systems?
