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.

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.

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...

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...

z/OSMF workflows and NCA to resolve system symbols

Git path directory, for adding transparent git support for datasets

A `.git` file can be created with content: `gitdir: <path-to-zFS-where-no-pdspdse-constraints-exist>` to keep all git data elsewhere. Another advantage of keeping .git data separate (DSFS transparently handling just a representative `.git` f...
