Operational Information sharing

The collecting of Operational Information in the Build Configuration is on Project Level yet the information gathered is on zOS Connection. This means if we have 280+ projects per environment (and we do), we need to collect the Operational Information for each and every one.

Better would be to save it on Connection Level or have the ability to share the information between Projects.

Added 2024-03-07:

As requested in email "it would be very helpful if you could amend the IDEA describing what you would like to do with this data."

Currently the only part of the Operational data that is visible in the Analyze Client is the TWS information, we would like to have that retrieved 1 time and shared between projects.

Obviously if the MQ or IMS data was visible in analyze client we would want to see that also.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. We feel this is a valid requirement but delivery within the RFE 2 year window is not likely. Please resubmit in 12-18 months for reconsideration if still valid. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
