    Hello Russell,

    Thank you for taking the time to submit your ideas.

    The IBM Application Performance Analyzer for z/OS team has evaluated this request and determined that we would be unable to satisfy this request for several CI/CD cycles. Our team does agree that this enhancement has considerable merit. As such, we will decline here, but still track internally so we can work on this in a future enhancement. We are not able to place an ETA on this enhancement at this time.

    Thank you for bringing this idea forward. If you have any additional feedback, thoughts or ideas, or if there is anything else our team can do, please do not hesitate to reply to this message to continue the conversation.

    Thank you so much,

    The APA Team
