Add RMF 74 subtype 10 support

Starting with IBM z15, IBM relocated EADM/zEDC and SCM (Storage Class Memory) metrics from RMF 74 subtype 9 to subtype 10. These performance metrics are key for measuring z/OS system, application performance, yet with IzPCA, there is no longer zEDC metrics support, starting with IBM z15.

    Can we get some feedback/response that IBM does or does not agree that the current RMF 74 subtype 10 support is "incomplete", given how we have explained the circumstances in prior posts, please? It appears that simply reading up the raw input record data-format is not sufficient completion to identify the record type/subtype as being "supported". Would you agree with this observation, please ? Thank you !!

    ** Please reconsider given this new/updated information **

    Apparently, I responded incorrectly - yes, there is SMF 74.10 decoding logic present within IzPCA, however the newly supported data-fields from (starting with) the IBM z15 hardware and EADM support, those new fields were never added to any new IzPCA database table, mostly so IzPCA customers can migrate from z14 (PCiE support, from RMF 74 subtype 9) to z15 (or later/higher) with the EADM ( Extended Asynchronous Data Mover) support using RMF 74 subtype 10.

    And, so, IzPCA customers are looking for vendor technology support with RMF 74 subtype 10, that being new IzPCA data tables for performance/capacity analysis.

    *disregard* -- I stand corrected -- now seeing that there is **.SDRLDEFS(DRLRSX74) logic for both EADM and SCM metrics found in the RMF 74 subtype 10.

    This idea / request can be marked closed, please.

    Thank you....
