Command to display how much full is SYS1.LOGREC dataset (in given moment)

Dear IBM Team, there is now way how to find out how much occupied is SYS1.LOGREC dataset (in DSLIST 3.4 it always shows 100 %, so this is not relevant). There is just warning message IFB080E once it is 90 % full and then message IFB081I once it is...

PDUU (AMAPDUPL) should support UNIX files

We plan to use AMAPDUPL replacing plain FTP for sending dumps, logs, files to IBM for problem determination. Unfortunately, AMAPUDUPL doesn't support Unix file. SYSUT1 is only for sequential dataset and PDS. In order to send Unix files to IBM with...

AMAPDUPL and meaningful error messages

Using AMAPDUPL return sometimes RC different of zero. In general this RC and messages are not meaningful or comprehensible or printed on the sysout. For exemple, if you want to have a TARGET_DSN with an £ character, the server return a bad request...

Ansible automation for OpenShift deployment on Linuxone with z/VM hypervisor

Ansible Playbooks to automate a User-Provisioned Infrastructure (UPI) deployment of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (RHOCP) with z/VM hypervisor. This process, when done manually, is extremely tedious, time-consuming, and requires high levels...

z/OSMF enable automatic REST API TSO logoff when logging out of z/OSMF

Currently, when using software update (and perhaps other OSMF functionality?) a TSO session is started for the REST API and it does not end when a user logs out of z/OSMF. It requires some amount of time without any activity before the session wil...

Implement an equivalent to MAXTNDSP used on the CD command for SDUMP today for IEATDUMP/SYSMDUMP/ABDUMP

The Java agent configured in xdump option CICS JVM server triggered a JVM transaction dump (TDUMP). We experienced a two minutes service interruption because TDUMP processing, by design, set all TCBs in the CICS address space in non-dispatchable. ...

Allow PDUU to override TCPIP.DATA when using FTP flavor

PDUU can't override the global TCPIP.DATA values, when invoking FTP. As a result we can't make use of TCPIP.DATA overrides, like NOCACHE. Allowing NOCACHE would allow us to send each FTP stream through one of our different proxy servers via a Load...

DAE should include functionality to purge/discard dumps by abend code for a customizable duration of time.

DAE currently requires manual intervention to ensure dumps are no longer suppressed. It is not uncommon that problem scenarios can involve many of the same dump being produced within a very short duration of time (such as 10 minutes or 1 hr). In t...

Make DAE - ADYSET00 possible to supress SYSUDUMP the same way as SYSMDUMP can be supressed today.

When we get problems in our Environment with a lot of SYSUDUMPs produced and filling up our SPOOL volumes. Then we would like to have the possibility that DAE - ADYSET00 can supress all our SYSUDUMP's. This can avoid that all our spool volumes to ...
