Re: Securing tape backup drive -- MIDRANGE-L

As a vendor that supports customers on multiple releases, it matterswhat release I refer to when giving a function in SQL or and API. Noteveryone is on the bleeding edge you are - and the community is inyour debt for your efforts out on that edge.

In this case, V5R3 is still supported, so it matters thatENCRYPT_TDES is only available on V5R4 and later.


OK - back to bed and rest from this cold.

Well, V5R4's been out now for over a year and I'd like to think that most
people could have missed their Saturday morning cartoons at least once in
that time period and taken the time to load it.
V5R2's end of support is coming up in April.  Several of the major
software houses have already said to upgrade because what IBM doesn't
support, they don't either.
End of marketing for V5R3 has already been announced.

Re: Securing tape backup drive






Depends on the version of OS/400 - I think I was looking at the V5R3
manual. I see the TDES function in V5R4. I forgot to say this - have
to, with all the changes in SQL on the iSeries - new stuff all the time.
