    Assign WLM Service Classes to DFHSM Sub-tasks

    We would like a way to assign different WLM service classes to DFHSM subtasks. Specifically we'd like to assign RECALLs to a high importance/velocity service class and MIGRATEs to a lower importance/velocity service class. Can this be done while t...

    Support multiple PDR volumes for redundancy

    Currently there can only be one PDR volume for an SSI cluster. If the storage host where the PDR volume resides goes down or something happens to that volume, all the systems in the cluster go down. Even if there are other storage host and a z/VM ...

    hbdelete - deleting Unix Directories recursively

    We need an option with hbdelete to delete a whole directory with all files and sub-directories. Like option -X for hlist, the same option could be implemented for hbdelete. e.g. hbdelete -aX /u/iz01715/All files and sub-directories will be deleted...

    Make Keylabel persistent in ICF Catalog

    We are at a stage where we are starting to have pervasive encryption. So we need to be able to know at any point in the life of a record, whether it is active or migrated, whether it is encrypted or not and what key was used. We need that for our...

    For Migrated IAM datasets Store IAMINFO and IAMAIX FPLs in the non-VSAM MIGRAT catalog entry that would indicate this is an IAM dataset and store associations (AIX/Path).

    Right now, HSM does not work in full compatibility with IAM. HSM doesn’t understand the associations of the IAM data set. For example, if customer issues HDELETE for cluster, HSM only deleted Cluster not AIX/Path. To overcome from it, IAM issue DE...

    Graphic interface for backup/restore USS files with DFSMShsm or "-pick" option similar to TSM-client

    Additionally to the commando interface for backup/restore of USS-files with DFSMShsm it would be very useful for endusers, who use only ssh-connect to USS on z/OS, to have any kind of graphish interface to backup/restore of USS-files similar to TS...

    Provide an equivalent to ISPF data shifts

    When editing HLASM source code, it is sometimes desirable to shift the opcode, operands and comments to the left or right without losing any significant characters. In ISPF, this an be done by using (, ((, ) or )) in place of <, <<, > ...

    MDISKs as ESE devices

    Seems by default, if the MDISK statement is not indicated with -END, it is not treated as ESE device. As per TS013515479, IBM support mentioned: guest I/O simulation for the ESE indications and the ESE indicator is only ever hidden from the guest ...
