    zCX Support combined LFAREA usage (2G/1M) if not enough LFAREA is available within one type

    Currently, zCX supports the use of LFAREA. This reduces the overhead for TLB and increases performance for zCX. If zCX is configured to use LFAREA and there is not enough LFAREA available within one range (2GB, 1MB) then zCX falls back to 4K what ...

    Unable to connect to z/OS Container Extension(zCX) from the WAN

    The zCX default bridge subnet 172.17.0.0/16 causes conflicts (sometimes and always in our case) to the WAN workstations IP addresses. We request an enhancement or user customisation to avoid subnet conflicts when identified.
