Encrypt the traffic between the TOS Server and Mainframe OSA-ICC cards

IRS would like to ask if the TPF lab would consider encrypting the traffic between the TOS Server and Mainframe OSA-ICC cards. Currently it is not-encrypted (its on the LAN, not the WAN, its local traffic only). But we’re being asked to verify tha...

TOS Gui: add ability to save and restore sessions and screen locations.

Everytime a user opens the TOS Gui, they have to open and arrange all of their desired sessions. This is time consuming and repetitive, especially in a 7x24 environment when tpf operators start their shift. Enhance the TOS Gui to be able to save o...

Increase TOS Message limit to 512 or 1024 characters

ETOS.EXE has to truncate messages to 255 characters. This limit should be extended to 512 or 1024 characters so that every message sent to a tpf host's console can be captures.

identify session in TOS API log items

Since the TOS workstation API log contains logging for multiple session/server connections it would be helpful if the log items would contain information that would identify the session/server like TAs and server IP addresses.

Add etos.exe port information to the TOS Gui

The TOS gui includes fields for ETOS.exe's IP address and host port, but not ETOS.exe's port. Adding this field would display all of the connection information for each gui session.

TOS client and server should support IPv6

The Government is under a mandate to convert all systems and products to IPv6 networking, as IPv6 offers more capability and security. Eventually the government will remove IPv4 traffic thereby eliminating dual-stack requirements.

: Remote Console hex view

Could the remote console be enhanced to provide a hex view/editor of the content to allow the user to view and possibly correct non-printable characters?

RAVEN Auto Message and Auto Send need mixed case support

The RAVEN commands AUTO MSG <message text> and AUTO SEND ... <command> need to support mixed case text for <message text> and <command> because z/TPF commands such as the file system commands support mixed case.

TOS: Blocking Selected Commands from the Command List

For TOS (TPF Operations Server): We recently had an impact because someone pulled up (up arrow) the last command entered on the console and cycled a wrong system to 1052 without taking off the traffic, causing an impact. Another RFE, 33848, was cr...
