Support extended highlighting in custom health checks

SDSF 3.1 adds a feature for extended highlighting in health check reports. These drastically improve readability of extensive check outputs. Right now, custom health checks are not supported and therefore can't make use of the new feature. SDSF an...

Allow filters on SDSF REXX interface when reading Operlog

Currently the ISFFILTER variable is only supported on tabular displays but not when using the REXX SDSF ISFLOG READ TYPE(OPERLOG) interface. It would be useful to be able to filter the Operlog on say SYSNAME or MSGID using the REXX interface given...

Please modify SDSF RACF calls to class JESSPOOL to use the RACF group(not RACF userid) to validate if a user has access to view/modify output.

This would be useful because users in a group should be able to view /modify all output created by userids in their group. Currently, SDSF only checks the userid of the output and many RACF groups contain many(5-50) userids so it would be very ben...

Support ALTLIB settings for % REXX execs

The current REXX exec support only supports placement in SYSEXEC or SYSPROC. This makes writing/debugging row processing EXECs difficult, as some shops may not allow write access to libraries in the concatenation. The TSO ALTLIB command is the int...
