Automatically naming of log files per daemon instance

By automatically naming log files on an daemon-instance basis, log files sizes are limited and archiving becomes a simple task.

Provide statistics related to DSSPOLICY and DSSGROUP definitions

The statistics available in CICS Transaction Gateway for z/OS do not represent the complexities which might arise from usage of the new Dynamic Server Selection policy.

The Gateway daemon should protect itself from storage shortage conditions

The Gateway daemon continues to allocate new resources such as connection manager threads, worker threads or IPIC connections when the system administrator has not allowed sufficient Java heap or region storage for those resources. This leads to s...

Enhancements to Gateway Daemon health calculations

Gateway daemon health should reflect the availability of its own resources as well as the availability of the connected CICS regions. Today only the following ECI errors cause the current health rating to be reduced:ECI_ERR_NO_CICSECI_ERR_RESOURCE...
