CMOD for Multiplatforms / Re: Determine last accessed AG
Last post by Mehmet S Yersel - June 17, 2026, 08:33:25 PM
Hi Jeff,

You are trying to build age-of-document at time-of-retrieval chart. I had done it in one of the recent system review I conducted for a client. System log has retrieval timestamp. Message #66  should look like this:

ARS0066I
ApplGroup DocGet: Name(appl_grp_name) Agid(agid) ApplName(appl_name)Aid(aid)
NodeName(node_name)Nid(nid) Server(server)Time(time) Flds(fields)

If you are lucky and the Flds contains a date field:
ARS0066I User USER1 retrieved 1 document(s) from application group ACCT_GRP,
application ACCT_APPL, folder ACCT_FOLDER.
FLDS=(ACCOUNT=123456789, DATE=20250315, TYPE=STATEMENT)

all you need to do is extract the Msg_Num=66 text fields, and process them with a script to create  "retrieval-time, doc-date, age". age is retrieval-time minus doc-date. Load into MS SQL, let's say T1. Then:

Select age, count(*) from T1 group by age order by age

You can then export into excel and draw a chart to visualize the document-age-at-time-of-retrieval.

if you cannot find any date field in Msg_66, you need to look in more detail in the logs for anyting else that might help you drive to document date. Also, if they are using ODWEK for document retrievals, you need to look at a different message number. Review system logs and there might be some clues there.   You can pull AGID form the message and add it to your query for more granularity.

Good luck.

Hi, Yes after working 40 days at 2022 sql and 2025 windows sl log file reached 10 million.
Od created new one ok but crashed and has not started no matter what.
This was restored from 2017 but version was same base 10.5 family.
Od is making more validations when creating sl log and thats why its not starting.
Event viewer gives only

Faulting application name: arssockd.exe, version: 10.5.0.10, time stamp: 0x6930af94 Faulting module name: ucrtbase.dll, version: 10.0.26100.32860, time stamp: 0x6dc4cb69 Exception code: 0xc0000409 Fault offset: 0x00000000000a4aee Faulting process id: 0x1738 Faulting application start time: 0x1DCE57AF2F43A34

CMOD for z/OS Server / AT-TLS
Last post by jine01 - June 15, 2026, 04:57:59 AM
Hi

We are running Ondemand on z/OS and we are using both the Thick client and OdWek. We are wondering if someone have used AT-TLS to encrypt the traffic from ondemand.

CMOD for Multiplatforms / Determine last accessed AG
Last post by jsquizz - May 05, 2026, 08:18:35 PM
I was tasked with doing an inventory of stale data in CMOD (keep in mind, we've never expired) - and management wants me to see how often old data is being retrieved.

Specifically, how often is data that is 7-15 years being retrieved, 15+, etc.

I've been trying to come up with something via querying the system log, to no luck. I figured a good "high level" view would be - at least provide the queries.

....users are querying 1970-2026....

I have an AGID/AID and a DOCNAME- Is this going to boil down to doing some type of query outside of CMOD. We have a very "hands off" approach..

I have been trying to get the CMOD 10.5.0.10 from Fix Central.   After a couple support tickets IBM finally came back with this information a few days ago:

IBM has identified an issue with CMOD 10.5 FP10 and is actively working on corrective fixes. Until the revised FP10 is available, IBM recommends that customers only deploy up to CMOD 10.5 FP09. IBM will share an updated FP addressing the issue as soon as possible. In the meantime, IBM will work closely with you to investigate any reported issue reported and will either confirm whether it is reproducible in FP09 or provide a targeted fix if required.

There is currently an aim to release FP10 in May. This is tentative and could change.

Announcements and News / Re: The future of ODUG...
Last post by Michel de Kraker - April 13, 2026, 06:38:11 PM
I still use ODUG for reference purposes and sometimes for questions with regards to migration from AIX to Linux.
So I would like to keep the Website Online. I literally have nowhere else to go :-)

What is the cause of the inactivity on the website? OnDemand is not used anymore at customers?
Do we have numbers of installations at customers?

Regards

Michel.

CMOD for Multiplatforms / CMOD AFP Overlay x AFP Drivers
Last post by teera_aoo - April 02, 2026, 05:24:41 AM
We are using IBM CMOD with AFP features, and currently having difficulty finding an AFP printer driver compatible with Windows 10/11 for printing AFP overlays.

The version we have only supports up to Windows 7. I also tried the Ricoh download link from IBM, but it requires an Entitlement ID.
https://dl.ricohsoftware.com/downloads/aa9a248e-101c-4aa6-b109-1cf7403f3b4f

Does anyone know where to get a newer AFP driver, or have any workaround?

Thanks in advance
