    AI System Service MLz setup to be more z/OS-like

    Currently, the MLz setup for the z/OS AI Services has to be done with z/OS. There is a lot of input and a lot of customer specific customization that has to be done there (security, AT-TLS and other stuff). That could be very complicated. Back in ...

    Use the IBM Ideas portal to report and monitor status of z/OS documentation RCF's

    Recent responses to a documentation omission message sent to the regular RCF email address (mhvrcfs@ibm.com) received a response that RCF's no longer normally receive any response from the documentation team(s). Users who have taken the trouble to...

    Provide an operator command to display active z/OSMF Users

    Currently the systems programmer and operator can display all active jobs, tso users, and shell (sshd) users, but they are unable to display the z/OSMF users. This information is helpful when planning to shutdown a system for a planned (or unplann...

    Support X-IBM-Dsname-Encoding header when listing data sets and data set members

    Some mainframe developers may use a different encoding when entering the name for a new data set or data set member. However, it seems that z/OSMF converts these names behind the scenes to use the IBM-1047 encoding, so characters in the name are c...

    Changing "Dataset Type" from PDS to PDSE during a Deployment operation in z/OSMF Software Management

    Using the CustomPac ISPF Dialogs, we previously had the ability to change the dataset type for PDS datasets shipped via ServerPac to be PDS/E. As zOS 2.5 is now shipped as a Portable Software Instance (PSI) and is installed via zOSMF Software Mana...

    DFSMSdss COPY CONVERT PDS to PDSE V?

    Presently, ADRDSSU can only convert a PDS to PDSE Version 1. Would be prudent to be able to choose between PDSE Version 1 and Version 2; especially since IBM recommends Version 2 in most use cases.

    Increase Record Length of WRITETOFILE Output

    When we run an Audit batch job, the SYSPRINT records are 121 bytes long, so the entire report is shown. However, when we use the WRITETOFILE parameter, the records that are written to the dataset specified on the OUTFILE DD are only 80 bytes long,...

    Buffering log of NIP console

    If an IPL of a z/OS system gets stuck in the NIP phase there is only very limited information available on diagnosing the error. Usually it is only the 24 lines of output on the NIP console. If the messages describing the error roll out of the con...
