Secure the integrity of the installed EKMF software by encryption of the disk

Currently an attack vector might be that somebody manipulates the EKMF Java classes on disk and then waits for an operator/admin with sufficient access rights to use the workstation. The attacker might be able to extract key material by just trans...

Enhance DFSDASP0 to not suppress messages when it issues the RACF AUTH call (when ODBASE=Y)

It was determined that we will rely on APSB security checking to control access for applications using the DVM product to access IMS data. This is working as expected. However, we are only getting the following in our system log:DFS2855A APSB SECU...

DFS3LU00 should allow the user to choose to generate control blocks and statements from the Catalog Staging area

When using DFS3LU00 to generate DBD or PSB source statements or control blocks, only DBDs or PSBs in the active portion of the IMS catalog are considered. There is no way to specify generation from the staging portion of the IMS catalog.

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...

Possibility to define WS that are able to submit even with JOBSUBMIT(NO)

We migrated from IBM AF/Operator to IBM System Automation. A lot of stuff from AFOP was implemented into SAz with IWSz/TWS integration. We use WS in TWS for SAz with Automation=Yes, the Domain Workstations and separate WS for normal jobs that are ...

For CHNG calls during OTMA transactions processing, used a cached ACEE

When OTMA transactions with OTMASEC=FULL make a CHNG call to another transaction, IMS creates a new ACEE in the MPP. There is already an ACEE for the USERID of the transactions in the IMS Control Region. IMS should use that existing cached ACEE (o...

GDPS CA - Incorporate IIDR Scheduled End option

We currently use IIDR for VSAM for z/OS to replicate CICS VSAM files across two PLEX's under the control of the GDPS Continuous Availability (Active – Active) software. When we do a switch between the two PLEX's we would like to automate the IIDR ...

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: Move APIs under "SOAP bridge related APIs" in c_soap.h to another header file as they are more general use APIs, and IBM is deprecating SOAP and don't want to lose the code

Programs that use primarily the "tpf_convertToAMSG()" and "tpf_convertFromOMSG()" APIs under the "SOAP bridge related APIs" in c_soap.h are more general use APIs. IBM is not going to support SOAP after this summer so we'd like these APIs to be mov...
