TWS IEFACTRT (EQQACTR1) should also show ZIIP usage in Joblog statistics

We are using TWSz to schedule production and test jobs. TWSz includes a IEFACTRT (EQQACTR1) which also writes statistics in the joblog. Among the statistics is CPU usage. For users to see the real usage of CPU resources the user also needs to know how much time the job spent using ZIIPs. This is also a SMF record 30 field (SMF30_TIME_ON_zIIP). We think it would be a good idea to show ZIIP usage as well as CPU usage in the job step statistics. We think that the field "PG" (=performance group number) is obsolete nowadays so that this field could be eliminated and ZIIP usage added instead.

    This is a very good idea and should be included as soon as possible.

    This requirement is valid but not in plan for now. We have a strategic plan to collect more job statistics but this will not happen earlier than 2024/2025, so for now we close it.
