Debugger Callback Issue

Toolkit Debugger callback (TPF test system doing a call back to user desktop running Debugger) is causing conflicts with DXC corporate security policies. I would like to ask IBM to evaluate alternatives in order to avoid costly workarounds for users.

    IBM does not expect to implement this in the foreseeable future.
    The callback behavior is fundamental to the existing z/TPF debugger server communication protocol architecture. The refactoring effort that would be required to support this alternative mode of operation would require substantial changes to both the server and client code and can not be reasonably contained with other priority work items. Alternative solution: Eclipse supports running in a multi-user environment which can allow configuring a Virtual Desktop environment to potentially reduce impacts to individual workstations and perhaps ease compliance with corporate security requirements.
