Automatable IPL Complete messages (ING313/4/5)

The IPL Complete messages (ING313/4/5) are issued with DescCode 13 set, which means they cannot be trapped in the automation table. We therefore cannot alert them to our operators without defining additional rules - use MRT to remove DescCode 13.I...

Flag RX instructions with index but no base register

It has been a common malpractice since more than half a century not to use a base register but the index register in rx instructions, e.g. L Ra,100(Rb) instead of L Ra,100(,Rb). Historically, this implied some performance penalty (AFAIR), nowadays...

PDB Comparison

Today there is no possibilty to compare the current PDB/SOCNTL against a new generated SONCTL to see the differences. With other words the automation adminstrator activates every change for a PDB / SOCNTL in blind flight without being able to chec...

Program Analyzer should install custom rules in writeable USS folder and not in usr/lpp/IBM/akg/cr

Currently, the Program Analyzer is installed in /usr/lpp/IBM/akg. This location is read-only, so we cannot save our own rules in /usr/lpp/IBM/akg/cr. The usr/lpp/IBM/akg/cr folder should be moved to a writable location (perhaps /var/...). As a wor...

Logical grouping of z/os Connect server nodes into Tiers

Allow zCEE servers to be logically grouped into Tiers on AppD dashboards rather than single node per Tier - the same as for CICS regions.

TCPIP Session identification

Problem: When a TCP/IP session is established with a CICS region there is nothing in any of the CICS logs to indicate that this has happened. There are messages generated when an error occurs during session establishment (such as DFHWB0732) but no...
