    Take the IBM TPF Debugger facilities that exist in IBM TPF Toolkit 4.6 and make available to customers as a stand-alone Java library (NOT as an Eclipse plug-in). n other words, provide the Java library that is responsible for the functionality to ...

    Provide real time indexing for z/OS sequential datasets

    I'm not sure which workspace is appropriate - please help find a home for this? We generate terrabytes of log and SMF data every day, but much of it is hard to retrieve because of the amount of data. Could we have a splunk like model of indexing o...

    Collect data provider info for outbound z/OS Connect server

    As per TS017415564, Citi needs to send performance and other critical operational data for zOS connect outbound servers to zLDA. These includes but not limited to request URI/endpoint used, response received from provider and https codes.
    about 1 year ago in IBM Z Operational Log and Data Analytics 1 Functionality already exists

    Align all Mainframe Log data from zLDA to SPLUNK with respect to displaying/using consistent timezones from CICS, Netview, Websphere and SYSLOG to all use the same timezones.

    This enhancement is not only "useful" but necessary. The amount of time we spend in supporting the product due to "inconsistent" and confusing timezones depending on which type of Mainframe log we are viewing is onerous. It's basically impossible ...
    over 2 years ago in IBM Z Operational Log and Data Analytics 1 Planned for future release

    Please add the support of data feeds from IIDR (IBM InfoSphere DATA REPLICATION) SMF records to the product.

    The product is important to our company's application support community, and users have been asking for these feeds to ZLDA so SPLUNK Dashboards could be built to monitor workloads, performance, and trends. We currently have these records assigned...

    Complete control over the Topic name that IBM Z Operational Log and Data Analytics use to connect to Kafka

    To day do CDP use a constant (-) in the Topic when connecting to Kafka. If this constant do not match your organisations naming standard is there nothing in CDP to solve that problem. An option to remove the constant is needed to have more control...

    zLDA user log from JES Spool does not work when batch jobs are offloaded from JES to an archival product like "SAR".

    Large MF (Enterprise) shops like CITI immediately offload batch for archival -- without this support the "user logs" from Spool to Splunk is not working for us. Our developers will not add VSAM ESDS files to batch jobs -- they will move forward a...

    add control panel to the IZOA Splunk app, where the user can specify index configuration to do an out-of-the-box install

    The Splunk IZOA app is made for a single instance Splunk and if you want to roll it out on a cluster you always have to make adjustments. The IZOA Splunk app needs a lot of indexes, but each customer will have their own naming conventions, retenti...

    New Reference Stop option in the TK Debugger

    Request support for a new "Reference stop" breakpoint type. This would stop when a given EVA memory location is accessed by the traced ECB (read OR updated). Support would at minimum allow the user to specify a memory address for a given number of...

    Separation of UserLogs (Generic Data Streams) from Z System Data

    After working with User Log files with the ZCDP/ZLDA product, we've come to the opinion that these Application USER LOGS (Generic streams) would be better managed if hosted separately from the standard Z-based infrastructure data stream feeds proc...
