Currently when the E3270UI takes a program check, the PC data is displayed on-screen, and thus the user is forced to create a screen shot and attached it to a case. For both the users and IBM, issue reporting would be much easier, if E3270UI progr...

Log user, who in the E3270UI System Programmer's Toolkit gives what system commands

The E3270UI already logs z/OS and CICS commands in the E3270UI SYSPRINT DD when commands are given using the E3270UI workspaces. However the System Programmers Toolkit does not, this means that system commands when give via the System Programmer's...

Reduce the about of CPU/MIPS used during zRTEMS startup

In environments with large numbers of nodes (8000+), when a z/OS RTEMS is started the RTEMS is measure to use 300-500 MIPS while establishing a HTEMS connection. During an IPL this is not an issue thanks to IPL BOOST, but when the zRTEMS needs res...
