    Use XWBs for MPIF and IPC

    In previous exchanges with IBM re: XWB usage, it was noted that MPIF and IPC were not changed via PJ45291 to use XWBs. That being the case, we will not be able to reduce frame usage even after the PJ45291 is applied, which somewhat defeats the pur...

    TPF DNS CACCHE TTL and CASTOUT

    Currently the ZCACH and ZDTCP DNS entries are deficient in providing the ability to search for a hostname in IDNSHOSTNAME Cache and display it's associated TTL TOD value. Suggest that the "z" entries be enhanced to provide the TTL expiration ...

    TPFUG - Allow an option for the z/TPF user to change the default load balance behavior for SSL Shared Sessions.

    In the current environment the default load balance behavior for SSL shared sessions is to assign an SSL daemon at the time the application CTX (context) is created. All sessions for this application will be assigned to this daemon. This behavior ...

    Make the TSTB size configurable

    We would like to have the option to set the number of tape status table (TSTB) slots to a different value at SIP time. Failing that, we would like to see a larger hardcoded TSTB size. The number of TSTB slots is defined in SIP macro sptabs.mac:&am...

    Add a "conditional record hold" function that allows the coder to specify the maximum number of waiters for this record.

    In an effort to avoid record hold bottlenecks, rather than blindly issue a FIWHC (which can result in a lengthy wait queue), would it be a better idea to invent a conditional FIWHC equivalent that would allow the programmer to specify the maximum ...

    Day of week and Day of month support for ZSTIM

    The TPF ZSTIM table should support additional functionality like "specific day of the week" or "specific day of the month". This was not that hard to implement and improves the capabilities of TPF's scheduler.
