When a task purge/forcepurge attempt fails, there will be a log message saying so

We get a lovely message saying that the request to purge (or force purge) a task has been accepted. If it works, we get a message saying the task ended. If it doesn't... nothing.

It should be possible to have one ICVR value for when task is running on the QR TCB and other non-open TCBs, and anther value for when task is running on open TCBs(L8/L9/T8?) This would enable us to allow larger ICVR values for tasks running on op...

Statistics for usage of models in autoinstalls

Like other interesting resource parameters, keep a running tab of the usage of terminal models and program models, and report them in their own identifiers as SMF 110(2) records. This can help in housekeeping, and reduce the chances of trying to c...
