Clear Cache Automatically when IDZ is closed

As per Company policy, associates are refrained to store any NPPI/NPTI data on their local machines.

However, it was observed that IBM Developer for zOS (IDz) software is using file cache technique (storing files in the local machine) to boost the performance of the application & user experience. And it is not deleting cached files once the session is over or at closing of the application.

Therefore, whenever Mainframe Associates work on any mainframe datasets contains NPPI/NPTI data via IDz, it is getting stored on their local machine and potentially creating GIS security event.

    Thank you for submitting an idea with IDz, we appreciate your input and suggestions to improve our client experiences. Many of our added enhancements come directly from suggestions from our users like yourself. This Idea is already a feature in the client and can be achieved by setting the clear cache in the preferences of Remote Systems.
