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` ...

Automatic increase virtual capacity for volume Safe Guarded Copy

When a SG backup volume runs out of Virtual Capacity, have the DS8K automatically increase the Virtual Capacity Multiplier with 1 for that volume. The increase by 1 should be sufficient I think, I do not think this should be configurable. However,...

Selecting some charts (e.g. Page Frames) is useful to do per CEC. Currently, a manual filter needs to be set. We should add the CEC name to the appropriate tables, even though it may not be in the specific SMF record.

Some charts make more sense when viewed at a CEC level. Real storage is an example. Currently, the customer needs to ensure that they manually set a filter to limit the reporting to a specific CEC. We should simply support the CEC name as an addit...

When adding multiple metrics to a chart, we always go back to the top of the list. We should reshow the list after the last metric that was added (they are shown alphabetically).

Provide option to apply GKB updates outside of SMP/E if that is the customer preference

Previously, monthly GKB updates were provided by a file which could be uploaded to reflect updated/changed products. However this was recently changed to enforce the use of SMP/E to apply GKB updates. This does not work in our shop for the followi...

Incrementally restore a subset of SGC volumes

PH44217 introduced incremental restore capability to Production but is currently an "all or none" approach. We believe there may be scenarios where specific volumes or applications might be affected by corruption and so we would like to have a sim...

Add timeout for active and parked debug sessions in IBM Z Open Debug in VS Code

It is common that developers leave active debug sessions open, leaving for lunch or afternoon tea. Even more common that multiple sessions are parked without ever being connected to. It would be VERY helpful if these sessions could timeout. We wou...
