    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...

    Update ZOVFS mkusr command with longer/complexer user-id/password and default directory

    With the current ZOVFS mkusr command we can add users with an 8 character alphanumeric user-id and password. A longer user-id (e.g. up to 25 characters) which can also contain special characters gives more flexibility for adding users, e.g. using ...

    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.

    z/TPF support for application logging
