    Allow LIST RECORD consumption to be drifted to ZIIP processors.

    Now, IZDS and IZPCA allow the derivation of a COLLECT to ZIIP, but it is not possible to do the same with a LIST RECORD.It would be good to study the possibility of adapting the LIST RECORD as well.

    Enable the ability to run the COLLECT batch process of different components in parallel.

    When a COLLECT process is executed, some DB2 resources are allocated that prevent processes that collect data for different components (CICS, DB2, MVS and so on) from being executed in parallel. If the COLLECT processes of different components cou...

    improving the data cleansing/testing capabilities for CICS VT

    It would be helpful if DMF could provide more information about differences in data when it finds them. When running against large files in batch for testing. When the records are long, dumping 32 bytes of data before and after the error is not en...

    Increase the Skip parameter to 8 positions in the VIDTRCEP file

    Currently, the skip parameter is limited to a maximum value of 999999 (six digits). Customers need to trace end-of-file problems that occur at a location greater than 999,999 records. One customer has 6.5 million rows and another customer has 8.5 ...

    CICS VSAM Transparency needs to issue status messages when VTMI actions start or stop CICSVT

    CICS VSAM Transparency also needs to issue status messages when VTMM actions change a file status. CICS VT exit status should be displayed -- similar to the messages that CICS IA issues on status changes CICS VT file status should be displayed whe...
