Provide a SETOMVS SYNTAXCHECK equivalent via a batch job.

Request a batch utility which would allow you to check BPXPRMxx syntax via a DD for input and route the output to a DD. The benefits would be: (1) Allow any location for input (vs. current SETOMVS SYNTAXCHECK which must come from PARMLIB) and (2) ...

Allow the same file name (indirectly volser cataloged) to be mounted to different mountpoints in a shared fileysystem

The ability to mount the same name filesystem (indirectly cataloged) to different version mountpoints would simplify deployment for me.

Improvements to the ability to ascertain whether zFS filesystems are in migration

There is currently no way to check whether filesystems are in mirroring complete status but waiting for a swap operation to complete other than using the bpxwmigf command. I'd also like a new reason code issued when the user attempts to manually m...

Improve USS_PARMLIB Healthcheck to allow for async mounts

Healthcheck USS_PARMLIB flags an exception for filesystems that are mounted asynchronously. The error is 'Path not found. RC=00000070 RSN=05940350'. However, by the time the check runs again, the file system is mounted so the check is successful. ...

USS command bpxwmigf need to force a swap

I am using bpxwmigf uss command to help to migrate from HFS to ZFS, and also from a ZFS to another (extended) ZFS. It is very useful and reliable. But sometimes it fails to swap to the new ZFS due to message : status.......: swap deferred at 08:31...

Enhancement to SETOMVS SYNTAXCHECK

The PARMLIB(BPXPRM00) member is shared between two partitions (SQA1 and SQT1) of the same sysplex. It contains the following mount command among others: MOUNT FILESYSTEM('SYSB.PHAP850.UNIX.&SYSNAME..HTTPSRVR') TYPE(HFS) MODE(RDWR) MOUNTPOINT('...

Allow System Symbols in keyword name automount policy

I want to have a single entry in automount policy that covers all LPARs in a sysplex. Instead, I have to have an entry for each because I cannot use &SYSNAME in the name component.(Case TS002611927 is not allowed in PMR field)
