    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...

    Legthen the syslog receiver address.

    We have an automatically generated DNS scheme that creates Domain Names longer than the allowed field in the Unix Syslog Receiver address(es) area. It is possible others may have multiple IP addresses or long names as well, thus the current limita...

    Allow zSecure Alert to run a REXX command when an alert is generated.

    Currently Alert will allow us to run a single "TSO/RACF" command. The list of available commands is not fully documented (There is some detail in the documentation under the CMD option on a NEWLIST). However "EXEC" is not one of the allowed comman...

    SA-internal command HSAET32 should generate a meaningful error message in the event of a problem.

    If an SA/NetView is restarted, all HSAET32 are rebuilt and this is logged with ON in netlog. Sometimes this doesn't work and the checker returns a "HSAET32 status ended, RC=1007". so what's the problem? In our case we have some trouble with the ...

    TESTing INGAMS refresh processing

    Reduce the disconnect time for BCPII.

    I'm not sure whether this idea is in the right workspace. I could also imagine it in the GDPS or CEC workspace. When a switch from the primary SE to the alternate is necessary today (e.g. for an MCL update or reboots), this lasts about 20 minutes....
