    We are trying to access z/OSMF over an Apache HTTPD proxy, unfortunately the proxy does not allow us to forward the client authentication certificate. The authentication is done on the proxy and then the proxy forwards the HTTP header-based authen...

    Add a Plugin to Execute Scripts (Python, Shell) from z/OSMF Desktop Interface

    When using z/OSMF as a management tool, through the Desktop interface, there is currently no way to access Unix System Services (USS) outside of using the ISPF Plugin. When editing a shell script or Python script, I have to swap between z/OSMF and...

    Allow multiple people to interact with a workflow without needing to take ownership

    We have multiple systems programmers on our team. In the event that a systems programmer is unwell/ sick , we can't view the "perform" section of a workflow owner by a different user. It would be great if we could view all steps in the workflow wi...

    Provide Rest API Interfaces for Health Checks

    As a tester, it is useful for me to automate Health Checks remotely while running on the PC rather than having to use the current mechanism of invoking HZSPRINT. I think it would be also useful for general customer automation of Health Checks. We ...

    Make workflow variable exportable to reuse them as input file

    Allow REST API to provide absolute or relative path in REST API zosmf/restfiles/fs/{filepath-name} and/or Provide appropriate messages.

    See Case TS016672435 for more details. (For me this looks like a bug, but as you see in the case, Support thinks it is working as designed, so Could we please get this fixed). A larger issue is not to get 500 return codes for REST API usage proble...
