    MFA User Segment alerts

    Hello IBM, Our team thinks the addition of MFA segment related user alerts would benefit zSecure. Currently there are no alerts for adding or deleting MFA Segments on the mainframe and we believe that the addition of this alert would be beneficial...

    Omegamon need to start to support the use of SMF

    Omegamon is dependent on NMI. This prevent other vendors to send important information to Omegamon. A simpel exempel is the sftp server from CO:Z. It can not use the NMI but can generate SMF 119 records. It is the same information as the FTP serve...

    One of our customers is complaining about the inefficiency of IBM Business Events Unordered Dispatch Queue using a default 32,000 byte buffer for their larger Event Message Feeds which exceed the default buffer length and results in MQGET/decompressing the message twice. The customer is planning on turning on Compression for IBEV.UNORDERED.DISPATCH.QUEUE; however, they are requesting we increase BEVQ_DEFAULT_BUFFER_LENGTH in bevq.cpp:

    Inefficient behavior: BEVQ allocates a 32000 byte buffer to read the messages, if the buffer is not large enough the MQGET has decompressed the message it then returns MQRC_TRUNCATED_MSG_FAILED, and leaves the message on the queue. It then realloc...

    Regarding average and largest uncompressed message sizes, I nor the customer are aware of any existing tools available to gather this information for IBM BEV dispatch queues. Additionally, while I was on vacation the customer requested in November...
