Feed of Mainframe Build-Results from Menu-Manager initiated REXX Build

When executing our own build by use of a Menu-Manager command (which executes a REXX on the mainframe and then submits the Build JCL/Job) we would heaviliy need a way to transfer back (i.e. integrate) the accumulated build messages into the RDz Remote Error List.

In the Menu-Manager definitions there could be provided some additional selection list (or box) with entries like "Build results provided" (et al.).

So when executing the Menu-Manager command one also could use (and pass) a builtin variable like $portnumber (together with $clientipaddress) to our REXX (the client will asynchronously listen on this port after executing the command, maybe with some timeout specification) and as the last step of our build job we would use a a small IBM supplied utility-program (e.g. SENDBACK) with parameters ClientAddress + TargetPort (i.e. $portnumber) + ResultXmlFile to the waiting client.

    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. At this time, your request for enhancement is not currently aligned with our product strategy and vision and we have no plans to address your request in the near future. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
