Allow BCPii to see capacity records that have been downloaded but not accepted/installed. Even better would be for it to install those records and activate them if desired. Activation is most likely only useful for loaner record.

If there is a new capacity record downloaded, we can't even see it in BCPii. If we could we could alert someone that an action needs to be taken to "get" that record. Of course, letting BCPii get the record would be even better than just letting B...

Provide method to determine how many drawers are installed in a z16 CEC. (Or future CECs)

We use BCPii interfaces to create dashboard concerning our CEC environments. It would be nice to have all data concerning a CEC be accessible. In particular we would like to be able to tell how many drawers are in a CEC. (MAXxx type info).

Crypto ID in toggle on/off panel

When isolating a crypto engine we have to verify the crypto deactivated in ICSF with the crypto engine on the toggle off/on panel. It would be beneficial if we could verify the serial number from ICSF with the toggle off/on panel before taking the...

HMC FCP/NPIV Reporting Enhancement

Currently the only tools available to validate FCP/NPIV configurations are: 1) Configuration/FCP Configuration: This gives us a snapshot of the FCP/NPIV configuration – which if we need the full environment requires us to offload via FTP, which is...

Remote HMC/SE access on machine swaps

We have a problem performing HMC/SE functions, when a new processor has been installed, prior to it being swapped. We need to get information (remotely) from the old processor, on to the new processor, and also be able to remotely load the new IOC...

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.
