PINNED Respect $HOME/.config/go/env
After adding eval $(/path/to/goz-env) in .profile, each time I log in to OMVS, I get 3 or 4 lines about $COMPILER_PATH. Can you add config to turn this off, please? Second, even if I have $HOME/.config/go/env (per XDG spec), go env says that `go` ...

In RBD EGL generated to Java we cannot get a top level array in JSON to convert into an object

Many RESTful services return results with a top-level array. EGL does not support converting this JSON to record. (IBM Support case TS013710542 was opened on this issue with the recommendation following from IBM that and RFE be created.) In EGL un...

Support TLS for connections to configuration server (HOMSRV)

Due to DoD/DISA STIG requirements for all connections to be secured via TLS we need the ability to enable TLS for the configuration server (HOMSRV) port 8999. This would allow the credentials used to retrieve or modify the configurations to be kep...

Provide number of bytes transmitted at end of run

Many Splunk/Elastic users are sensitive to the number of bytes ingested. As part of the "End of File Record Counts", can you include total bytes sent if a TCP destination was used? Or even during an extract, as we sometimes run multiple trials run...

Accurately normalize CPUsec reporting in the RAF component

CPBPLIM should not be allowed to exceed 50% and ALL DEPS nesting level default should be less than 99

The CPBPLIM parameter can have values up to 99 which means 99% of memory is reserved for current plan buffers and 1% is available for everything else. This leads to memory related abends such as S878. Similarly the "NUMBER OF NESTINGS" in panel EQ...

Monitor Transactions Originating on z/OS for MQ.

We have been discussing Instana MQ Integration with several Mainframe Clients. MQ is a very broad solution and we are finding that some of our clients have these transactions originating on the Mainframe, but the transaction actually occurred with...

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 ...
