CICS Deployment Assistant: Provide latest information in the job log

Provide latest information in the job log of a running spool file without performing a manual refresh action to allow customer to monitor and review running system with minimal intervention.
Most of the jobs that are to be viewed in this fashion are related to CICS Installs and ISV software. Provision of this feature would allow customer to see the progression without causing a manual refresh. So in effect the user basically wants to be able to do the equivalent of a Unix 'tail' on the job output.

Suggest solution:
Customer originally asked for a refresh function, citing that the CICS WUI has a facility to automatically refresh every n seconds, so why not provide that in DA. However, the solution to this requirement could be poll based (such as an auto refresh), or some sort of pub/sub/push technology, or something else.

    This requirement has been re-evaluated.  Looking at current plans, it is not likely that this would be implemented in the next two CICS TS releases, so correspondingly this requirement is being rejected. You have an opportunity to resubmit in eighteen months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.

    This requirement will be moved to the System Explorer requirements - as the view is now in the base and not just available in CICS DA.
