IMS Asynchronous Lock Duplexing

Like DB2 "asynchronous CF duplexing", do you have any plan to implement similar functionality on IMS for IMS locking and VSAM RLS locking. Synchronized duplexing is too expensive in terms of CPU consumption.

Specify timeout on the individual WEB CONVERSE commands instead of RTIMOUT on the whole transaction

The RTIMOUT value specified for the transaction that starts the user application indicates the time that the application is prepared to wait to receive the incoming message. (RTIMOUT is specified on the transaction profile definition). However, in...

GDPS problem determination/detection tool

I would like to see a GDPS problem determination/detection tool that would be able to interrogate the netlog and identify better the cause of a particular failure. The error message reporting (although getting better in recent versions) in the Net...

Improve dynamic scheduling, with scenarios driven by unplanned workload

Dynamic scheduling is increasing and unplanned applications cover a big piece of daily workload.Following scenario is currently supported in IBM Z Workload Scheduler. A job in an application has an external predecessor, defined using a relative in...

Add one decimal place to the reported CP Weight value, e.g. 31.4% instead of current 31%.

Customers can use three digits for their LPAR weight assignments (e.g. 314). Therefore, a two-digit reported percentage value may not accurately reflect the true weight the system is managing to.

Key lifecycle management for old key versions

This idea is related to EKM-I-70 After a key is rotated, there should be options to manage the lifecycle of the old keys. One option could be to set the old version of the key to inactive, so it can not be used for new encryption anymore

There should be a way to synchronize UKO and ICSF key metadata

This is an additional idea to EKM-I-73 There should also be an option to synchronize key metadata between UKO and ICSF. For example, if the expiry date in ICSF is changed, this should be reflected in UKO to be notified (showing key out of sync) to...
