Avoid arbitrary MEMLIMIT=NOLIMIT assignments to REGION=0M jobs

Our IEFUSI->SMFLIMxx conversion was halted by an unpredictable design choice, which is: An implicit MEMLIMIT=NOLIMIT default when REGION=0M that *overrides* the explicit MEMLIMIT default in SMRPRMxx. This creates problems, such as: If a user...

Create a workflow for zERT Provisioning - Database, RACF

At the moment, one has to customize members (IZUZNADT, IZUZNADI, IZUNASEC ) in SYS1.SAMPLIB to provision a database for zERT and grant access to zERT. My idea is to use a workflow which would allow to do the same but inside a z/OSMF workflow.

PKI Services -RFC 8555 - Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME)

PKI services actually implements the SCEP and EST protocol to Enroll Certificates of CISCO Routers. The Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol is a communications protocol for automating interactions between certificate autho...

Utilization information of the AI accelerator

Similar to CPACF there should be some monitoring function available to observe the physical utilization of the AI accelerator. CPACF offers at least a counter of instruction calls which is visible via SMF

z/OSMF Network Configuration Assistant import function

The z/OS AI Services workflow creates a flat file with the AT-TLS policy. We have no way of importing that file into z/OSMF NCA without entering all the information manually. We need the ability to import that file into z/OSMF NCA.

Run RACF health checks only once per shared RACF database

Either RACF healthcheck routines should sort out, if the systems of the sysplex share the same RACF database, or there should be grouping parameter that can be specified for the check to "help" the routine to sort that out.

Provide common APIs in support of PDSE Member Generations - Part 2

See https://ibm-z-hardware-and-operating-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/ZOS-I-3783 for part 1. Given that PDSE member generations are supported by some, and growing, IBM elements, it only seems reasonable to make it easy. Thus I'm rating this IDEA as...

z/OSMF Archived workflows add user specified directory path to the API call

POST /zosmf/workflow/rest/<version>/workflows/<workflowKey>/operations/archive In the GUI it is possible to archive workflows to a specific directory. However in the API it don't see the same functionality. Add header where a path can ...

Allow the use of zOS system symbols in catalog entries

When defining a catalog entry, you can specify VOLUME(&SYM1) for example but not (NAME(HLQ.&SYM1..LLQ)). For that you need a catalog entry then an alias with SYMBOLICRELATE. There are instances where we would find it useful to have a symbo...

OAM access from C/C++

Similar to sample programs like CBROSR* we need a C/C++ interface program for accessing OAM.
