Convert message in SMF-109 record to ArcSight CEF-format as-is

As a follow-up of a case we would like to put in the request to make it possible for zSecure to convert the message in the SMF-109 record to ArcSight CEF-format as-is, and not overwrite the start of the syslog-message by "Firewall msg".

As we understand the "Firewall msg" in the recorddesc field was added there for support for z/OS Firewall Technologies, a product which no longer exists.

Preferable record 109 is added to the standard list of SMF records that are converted by the zSecure Adapters for SIEM. Or at least make it possible by adding it to CKQCEF#C.

    I don't see any reason why this cannot already be added today. Can you explain?
