JES_NJE_SECURITY Health Check Modification

Our environments unique design does not require only one component of the JES_NJE_Security check. We've determined that we are unable to deactivate just this component and are therefore requesting that the component be separated from the original ...

Add OpenSSH parameter to control whether RACF checks are made by the TERMINAL or SERVAUTH class

Please add a parameter to control whether RACF checks are made by the TERMINAL or SERVAUTH classes, such as the PORTOFENTRY4 parameter for FTP. Per PMR23901,7TD,000 discussion if a remote IP address is covered at all in ANY NETACCESS statement the...

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...

Please modify SDSF RACF calls to class JESSPOOL to use the RACF group(not RACF userid) to validate if a user has access to view/modify output.

This would be useful because users in a group should be able to view /modify all output created by userids in their group. Currently, SDSF only checks the userid of the output and many RACF groups contain many(5-50) userids so it would be very ben...

zCX Support combined LFAREA usage (2G/1M) if not enough LFAREA is available within one type

Currently, zCX supports the use of LFAREA. This reduces the overhead for TLB and increases performance for zCX. If zCX is configured to use LFAREA and there is not enough LFAREA available within one range (2GB, 1MB) then zCX falls back to 4K what ...
