SDSF XDC Panel Include DD name or DSID

Currently when using XDC to print output from a job in SDSF it only displays the JOBNAME and JOBNUMBER. This is fine if you are only using it once. However, if you have multiple XDC commands going on at one time, then when you hit ENTER, it is not...

Provide Limit on SDSF JES2 Commands

New Column in SDSF to display Max Number of Jobs in a Job Class per MAS member

On a JES2 system, the job class panel (JC) has a ‘JCLim' column. This is the value for XEQC=MAX – maximum number of jobs in this class for the entire MAS. What's missing is a column to represent the XEQMEM=MAX value – maximum number of jobs in thi...

SDSF DA should be able to display log entries in spawned tasks

If I'm in an SDSF Display Active screen and I issue S against a job that is running in the Unix environment (in the example I've attached it's an FTP job that's spawned when I establish an FTP connection to the LPAR) then the response from the S i...

SDSF access to UNIX Filesystems e.g. via xdc

In SDSF it is possible to archive reports via xdc to a Dataset. It would be very handy if it would be possible to save it here directly to a UNIX File e.g. "/home/user/file".

Additional SDSF reason codes to the client

I was trying to access the SDSF APF panel while the system was under heavy IO stress. Retrieving the data for the panel failed with: ISF452E SDSFAUX communications failed, return code 0x00000004, reason code 0x0036080F, function "query APF". Inter...

It will become smarted based on the user behavior.

Better Messages and Help for LOGLIM in OPERLOG

If you enter 'F xx PREV' in OPERLOG and get the Message 'TOP OF DATA REACHED' this could mean that you reach top of data or the LOGLIM – there is no way to differentiate what is true. It would be much easier for the user if ‘LOGLIM REACHED' is dis...
