    Add the ability to generate an AES DUKPT DATA encryption key similar to the K1DATA derived key for DES DUKPT

    This would allow the user to be able to perform encryption operations on DATA that has been encrypted using AES-DUKPT derived keys.

    STP setting and customization

    With customers moving to zCloud, we are now combining customers with z/VM lpars set in different timezones onto a single processor. There needs to be a better method of utilizing STP, to alleviate unnecessary manual updates to the System Config fi...

    Offline BER test on FICON channels

    On IBM DS8K products we are able to perform an offline Bit ERror (BER) test to check a FICON link's quality while the path is offline but the cables are connected. My understanding is that this is accomplished by using idle characters being sent o...

    Add filtering for the HMC/HMA hardware messages to drop the red-herrings

    Right now, on a busy IPL night, we can miss legitimate error messages on the HMC because of the flurry of "logical partition mode events" and "disabled wait...0a2" messages. If we could filter out which messages hit the HMC hardware messages state...
