PINNED Respect $HOME/.config/go/env

IMS Component partitioned by IMS_REGION

Currently we have many IMS regions and huge logs to be processed. It would be great if IZPCA provides a solution that we could process IMS logs in parallel with a entire IMS component petitioned by IMS_REGION.

Have Omegamon for z/OS show JES2 spool details for multiple JES2 subsystems

We have a number of LPARs running more than one JES2 subsystem. Currently we can only setup alerts (example: Spool reaching x% full) for the primary JES2 subsystem. The other JES2 subsystem(s) are invisible in Omegamon for z/OS and so no alert can...

Add Heap Memory High Watermarks to default RTMC Dashboards for JVMs

We would like to see the 64-bit and 31-bit high water marks for the heap regions used by JVMs limited by MAXXMES, MAXXMAP, and EMPS. This would be incredibly helpful to monitor Java for any problem troubleshooting, and give us an easier way to fin...

Debugger Profile Service (EQAPROF) to implement sysplex awareness

We only want to use a VIPA for the communication between IDz and the mainframe. With IBM z/OS Debugger version 16.0.1 IBM added sysplex-awareness, so now the last missing part that is not sysplex-aware is the EQAPROF. So please add this support.
