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

    Support JESLOG parameter on job card with the master subsystem

    We execute our Netview STCs under the master subsystem rather than under JES2 and they can stay up for months at a time. The JESMSGLG can grow to several million lines which consumes a non-insignificant amount of spool space. We don't need that in...

    Allow the number of JES2 NODES to be reduced without a cold start

    We have a number of JES2 environments which have evolved over time. Decades ago, someone decided that it would be useful to define the NODENUM on the NJEDEF init parm as 9999, meaning we now have many systems defined with 9999 possible nodes. We a...
