Additional fields required by UKO Crypto Connect CAT

We're working on API for IBM Z Crypto Discovery & Inventory product which provides SMF records streaming and further processing. We noticed during implementation that there are fields missing in SMF 82 subtypes 31/40/41/42/44/45/46. These missing fields are blocking our development and preventing us from releasing the application, as the data we collect and transform is incomplete without them. Here is the list of SMF subtypes of 82 and missing fields:

  • SMF 31

    • tags and values in the triplets are not visible - only offset and length are currently exposed

    • secondary job name

    • secondary job ID

    • secondary job start time

    • secondary user ID

  • SMF 40

    • HOME section of job related data with fields: JOBID - job ID/JOBN - job name / USRI - user ID/ STOD - job start time

    • SECONDARY section of job related data with fields: JOBID - job ID/JOBN - job name / USRI - user ID/ STOD - job start time

  • SMF 41

    • HOME section of job related data with fields: JOBID - job ID/JOBN - job name / USRI - user ID/ STOD - job start time

    • SECONDARY section of job related data with fields: JOBID - job ID/JOBN - job name / USRI - user ID/ STOD - job start time

  • SMF 42

We kindly ask for your assistance in resolving this issue and thank you in advance for your response.
