    Show JCL statement numbers in JESJCL output in the Status tab

    When a JCL error happens, statement numbers are displayed in JESYSMSG. SDSF shows these statement numbers in JESJCL but z/OSMF's Status tab for JESJCL is missing these statement numbers. This means a customer needs to go to SDSF to view JESJCL in ...

    zOSMF file transmission delay

    When uploading or downloading a large file it seems like nothing happens, but eventually the screen will pop up. Just an immediate confirmation that file transfer has started and then when completed or stopped would suffice.

    Capability in zOSMF workflow for 'superuser' to mark complete steps owned by other users

    We have custom automated zOSMF workflows that are created and started by system users. Sometimes the steps in these workflows are not successful and are resolved outside the workflow, but we don't have a way for a human to 'mark complete' these st...

    Prevent users or group of users to use SSO (Single Sign-on) within z/OSMF

    When using SSO within z/OSMF any user defined to z/OSMF can use workflows (for example with a JCL template) to submit a job to another lpar/sysplex if they are also defined to that other lpar/sysplex. We would like to prevent some users or group o...

    z/OSMF workflows as a self-service platform - Workflow Enhancements

    We thought of using z/OSMF Workflows as a self-service platform where other teams could execute frequent requests made to us sysprogs independently, that way we would only need to take part in the initial workflow design and creation inside z/OSMF...

    Public REST API for available solutions

    As a systems programmer I want to be able to identify new PTFs that have been released by IBM and other software vendors but have not been received in my environment yet. This information should be accessible directly from the z/OSMF UI. The Softw...

    Consolidated SMPLOG and SMPLOGA for all zones including Global

    Today there is a separate SMPLOG for each zone. It would be nice to have the logs Consolidated into one set of datasets that remain much like the SMPPTS. This will reduce the number of datasets and disk space and have one dataset with all past log...

    Need z/OSMF to explicitly display Local LPAR name on all z/OSMF panels, such as not having to look to the URL to determine what system we are working with.
