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` ...

Identify and Terminate dropped connections to IMS

Currently if an IMS user loses their connection to the internet they remain logged in to IMS. This prevents them from logging back in. Currently the lowest ASOT and ALOT values of 10 do not provide the ability to immediately cleanup dropped sessio...

Add MQ Version to OMEG MQ entry panel KMQSTRTI

We operate MQ subsystems in different versions To have an overview on which MQ version level a system is, we would like to see this in Panel KMQSTRTI - IBM MQ Queue Manager Status (displaycols, sortcols and filtercols). p.e. MQVERSION from table K...

FTDC for GDPS/LCP SGC Capture failures - ODDs to disk

GDPS/PPRC has not been reliably taking ODDs in all GDPS/LCP SGC capture failures that we've seen. As a result, IBM DASD microcode has not been able to determine why several of our SGC captures have failed. This idea is to enhance GDPS/LCP first ti...

high availability and resiliency for messages sent via MQ descriptors (TYPE=MQSERIES)

We have got applications sending messages via CHNG/ISRT calls on MQ descriptors ( IBM MQ Parameter TYPE=MQSERIES ) Subparameter MQRTQMGR=mqmd_replytoqmgr specifies the MQMD_REPLYTOQMGR value. When operating within a PLEX-environment (MVS-Plex, ...

Add a Descriptor and/or Route Code to DISPLAY UPON CONSOLE like in PL/I to do WTO (ASM)

Today, the DISPLAY UPON CONSOLE statement has a default Desciptor Code of 2 and a Route Code of 3. For automated log processing, it is important to be able to specify these codes. The only way today is to call an Assembler program performing WTO. ...

Support COPY statement in a PSB file.

The PSB compiler in Application Discovery Build Client does not support a COPY statement in a PSB file. We request this be supported.

IMS environments should be implemented for the AD PL1 compiler so AD would show the IBM DBs correctly used in PL1 programs.

Application Discovery (AD) Analyze Client doesn't show IMS DB names correctly in IMS/DB Usage analysis. This is because even though the PL1 compiler in AD Build Client recongnizes PLITDLI calls as calls to IMS databases, PCB parameters from the ma...

Programmatically Update Monitor INTERVAL Start via AUTLCP1

There is no way currently to accurately set the timer on an ad hoc basis. Essentially the timer starts when the Interval value is updated or when a master switch occurs. In our use case, we have set up alerts for Partial Captures via GEO2976I, but...
