    27 days ago in IMS Connect Extensions for z/OS / Product functionality 1 Under review

    As an IMS systems programmer, I want the ability to make messages sent by IMS back to the client (e.g. DFS3688I) visible to operators and automation on z/OS.

    Actually, to have an alerting when a transaction reaches his expire time we have, in the OTMA client descriptor (DFSYDTx), activated the parameter TODUMP with the option YES This solution is no longer efficient because when the issue arises our MP...

    Be able to throttle incoming trafic rates based in USEID using CEX

    We believe it would be beneficial to implement a mechanism that allows throttling of incoming transaction rates in IMS based on the associated user ID. This approach would help safeguard the system against excessive workloads and enable more preci...

    Java com.ibm.ims.connect.OutputMessage should contain LPAR (SMF ID ) and IMS ID that executed the transaction

    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...

    Create New and/or Enhance the CICS VT Mapping Interface

    Currently, the CICS VT interface is ISPF based. The customers find this interface difficult to learn and difficult to use. Many of the functions are not intuative to the user.
