    (TPFUG/Visa) Linux utility tpfdataredux needs completely replace zOS DATAREAD

    RFE 39856 requested data reduction be moved to linux. This RFE was closed when linux tpfdataredux utility was delivered in PJ42460. However, tpfdataredux only supports a few reports so we still need to run zOS DATAREAD and cannot realize the benef...

    (TPFUG/Visa) Need a mechanism to identify inconsistent views of structure layouts

    Consistency of structure definition across all code accessing the structure is critical for correct code. Database corruption or other runtime errors can occur if source component A thinks structure X on file is packed but source component B think...

    TPFUG: Provide z/TPF zMQ API that returns the associated Remote or Local zMQ Name(s) for a specified zMQ Dynamic Queue Name

    1. It is necessary to be able to enquire on the z/TPF Resources used by zMQQs associated with z/TPF zEVent processing, particularly z/TPF System Work Blocks (zSWB) usage and zMQDepth. 2. For this to be done all local, remote, aliased, dynamic zMQQ...

    FA Eclipse: Show variable content in Cobol Source

    I want to see the contents of working-storage/linkage variables in the opened Cobol source (e.g. with mouseover / hover-over) when using the Eclipse plugin for Fault Analyzer and open the programs source code

    (TPFUG) Add OSA input list monitoring

    To identify / understand the bursting nature of the OSA input list, we would like a mechanism to monitor the queue specifically at high TCPIP volume rates. Sending this information to CDC RTMC is a potential solution.

    (TPFUG) Stop counting HSC closed by remote server as an error or provide a separate counter.

    Today if a HSC endpoint is using persistent SSL sockets, and the remote server closes the socket it can cause the error count to be incremented. This is noticeable when the remote system implements an inactivity timeout on the socket, and there is...

    Enhance Endpoint Descriptor processing and add new ept.xml Elements to change auto-undeploy error processing - adding auto-redeploy.

    An endpoint descriptor is automatically undeployed when the number of consecutive errors is greater than the number of connections defined in the ept.xml. Once the system auto-undeploys the endpoint descriptor, it has to be manually re-deployed (v...

    Add High Speed Connector metrics as a CDC data flow for RTMC

    HSC end point metrics are maintained in the group control block (e.g. number of application timeouts), and socket control block structures (e.g. total number of APIs, Total number of errors etc). HSC end point metrics should be added to RTMC as a ...

    Allow ZCDNV to set a configurable number of NVPs that would be displayed on Dump messages sent to prime cras console

    As we increase the use of Name-Value Pairs for saving information useful in Troubleshooting and for Realtime Runtime Metrics Collection (RTMC), the Name-Value Pair (NVP) area is becoming increasingly important to our application developers to rapi...
