zPCR and zBNA - Offer as a zOSMF Plugin

zPCR and zBNA should be available as zOSMF Plugins to avoid SMF data to be exported off platform.

Both Plugins relay on SMF data which is stored and protected on the Mainframe. Currently we have to offload them via FTP to an other platform where we have to start an .exe which is causing problems as well. Hence this idea is to make those tools available as zOSMF Plugins so the SMF data can be kept on the Mainframe and no duplication is required.

    Hi - zPCR and zBNA are not fully supported IBM products, which is why they do not have an entry on the Ideas portal. They are tool provided "as is". Enhancement requests or bug reports should be sent to cpstools@us.ibm.com
