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` ...

UKO-Agent should have his own Messages in zOS SYSLOG

We have the need to control and automate messages from the UKO agent. So if something changes in a Key Dataset (e.g. CKDS) with UKO, we need to be able to react from zOS. Actually, the only way to be aware of changes there is to analyse SMF data. ...

MGM resiliency in recovery region

With MzGM 4-SITE we had resiliency in our recovery region for disk. For example, if C disk (XRC secondaries) died, GDPS/Metro in that region could Hyperswap to D disk and XRC would remain up, capable both of building DR and of doing our daily requ...
