    Introduce new extension, .spcbl, and potentially a new boolean variable. ${IS_SP}, to be used in DBB and other DevOps products for Cobol Stored Procedures.

    Currently there is no easy way to determine if a Cobol program is a Cobol Batch program or a Cobol Stored Procedure. Since they have different compiler options, it is important to be able to indicate to DBB and other DevOps tools which one - Cobol...

    Package DBB as a z/OS Container image

    After the introduction of the z/OS Container Platform we want to leverage that and package our build framework (based on DBB) into a container. This allows us to more easily decide what version of DBB we work with and can more easily add features ...

    DBB has IS_CICS and IS_SQL , but it is missing is_SP , or maybe we can add a IS_CUST to use for custom processing ?

    DB2 STORE PROCEDURES can require different compiler options to DB2 programs ( IS_SQL). At the moment there is no way to differentiate between DB2 programs and DB2 store procedures . I wonder if we can even add a IS_CUST so that it can be used for ...

    Allow use of CICS Security Discovery tooling without extracted Metadata

    When trying to use the CICS Security tools added to CICS Explorer, nothing can be achieved until an sdd file created by extracting data from RACF. If for any any reason such a file cannot be created, none of the tooling can be used. IMHO, the tool...

    Display installed Enqueue Models

    Explorer is not showing installed Enqueue models. We can see all definitions, but need to use the WUI to see the installed definitions. We are trying to cut down on the need to switch from Explorer to WUI to work.

    Dedicated ISPF Client Gateway configuration for DBB

    Today, DBB's API for TSOExec and ISPFExec use the default system wide ISPF Client Gateway configuration. When the build framework has specific requirements on the configuration, such as the Db2 library on the STEPLIB or using the interactive gatew...
