Allow current plan to be automatically rebuilt with correct status information after a refresh of the plan (dialog option 9.5)

Dynamic Workload Console (DWC) should use RACF EJBROLE to associated roles with a userid when the DWC running under z/OS (zliberty)

Currently DWC uses an internal DB2 database to associate roles with userids, and it allows RACF userids and passwords to be used at logon time but when assigning a role to the userid it depends on information in an internal database rather than ge...

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 ...
