    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...

    IMS emergency restart should be extended to allow the possibilty of an Emergency Restart "light"

    A new Emergency Restart light function following an IMS abend would start IMS, perform all DB backouts and resolve any in-doubt threads but not allow any other work to be started. Following the ERE light IMS should terminate - either automatically...
