Keep current project available and discoverable while doing a Build/MAKE

Keep the current ADDI project available for discovery while it is rebuild or a MAKE is run. Only make the new project image discoverable once all phases of the build completed. User impact: This prevents bad design decisions or failed discover act...

Enhance the JCL Parser to enable ControlM specific code

We have some JCL that contains some ControlM specific code which are decode by ControlM before submission. Some of those JCL can't be add in AD because the JCL parser does not understand it. In our example (TS009034119) the build client tells us t...

AD - Pop up alert to broadcast notification to end users.

In the current AD version there is no facility to broadcast notification alert to user's community, instead we usually send information to application discovery users via email distributions. This idea is about introducing new feature to notify ma...

ADDI - Secondary RACF ID

Currently the product does not support DB2 secondary authorization IDs

License activation without user interaction

We are defining the ADDI installation procedure as an automated task, so it can be executed as automatically by a pipeline to provision a new server. The license activation requires a human interaction and can therefore not be automated

AD Cross Application Service should be enabled for DB2 on z/OS

ADDI has the capability to analyze Cross Applications. Unfortunately this feature is not supported for DB2 on z/OS. We would like to have the feature implemented for DB2 on z/OS as well.

Getting z/OS Connect (API) extracts working with ADDI in offline mode

To allow z/OS Connect (API) extracts working with ADDI in offline mode, this removes the need to connect ADDI to z/OS directly (online). Sites that do not allow direct connection between ADDI and z/OS cannot use ADDI for API analysis (z/OS Connect...
