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 SYSDSN in CLIST/REXX to have NORECALL like LISTDSI

Currently if you use SYSDSN in a REXX/CLIST and the dataset is migrated, it needs to be recalled by the function. However, with LISTDSI there is an option for NORECALL to prevent that from occurring. With the inclusion of NORECALL as an option on ...

LE: Allow TERMTHDACT option that combines UAONLY with MSG behavior, *without* the CEEDUMP clutter

Please provide an option for TERMTHDACT which provides the CICS transaction dump that UAONLY provides, along with the CESE output that MSG provides, without the copious CEEDUMP output that DUMP provides. In other words, we ONLY want the CICS trans...

Operlog should write more than a single MDB to a logblock to allow connecting of multiple MDBS for long multi-line messages

OPERLOG currently only writes a single Message Data Block (MDB) to a logblock for the OPERLOG logstream. When attempting to display OPERLOG in hardcopy format, know applications like IEAMDBLG, SDSFLOG and ISFLOG read single logblocks containing si...

Enable SNMP subagents to support SNMPv3

I would like to eliminate as much unencrypted SNMP as possible. To do that it would help if the SNMP subagents (such as IOBSNMP, TCP/IP Subagent and OSPF Subagent) could be configured to work with SNMPv3 (preferably at AES128).

Enhance zERT discovery to be more accurate in recognizing and recording TLS sessions with very large handshake messages and unusual timing

zERT discovery is currently unable to recognize TLS sessions when handshake messages exceed the maximum TLS record length. It also relies on timers in specific situations that can sometimes generate misleading information regarding TLS sessions th...
