When using dsfs in a PDS the ls -al should display ISPF statistics or other info

When using ISPF the member display panel will display either ISPF statistics (if available) or load module information. The ls -al command when using /dsfs should present similar information when it is available. Since dsfs supports ISPF statistic...

JES2 PERFDATA should be written as SMF records for improved usability

JES2 currently provides the results of collected performance statistics in the output of the $D PERFDATA command in many lines of $HASP660 sent to the console and consumable via review of syslog/operlog. The command provides several subscripts, $D...

Simplify Crypto Cipher Management in HMC

Currently HMC just offers a list (in a not auto scaling window) of available ciphers without any further details to which TLS version they might belong. It would be a great simplification if I can just select that I want to use TLS1.3 and TLS1.2 a...

ICSF Hardware Support for (EC)DHE Key Exchange & TLS1.3 Handshakes

Even for TLS1.2 and for TLS1.3, (EC)DHE key exchange becomes more and more required. (EC)DHE based Ciphers are currently only minimal supported by Hardware (CPACF/Crypto CoProcessor). Also, TLS1.3 has a much larger footprint in terms of CPU consum...

Add option in SDSF z/OSMF Plugin settings to set global default TSO logon procedure

Having an option in the SDSF z/OSMF Plugin settings to set a global default TSO logon procedure for all z/OSMF users would be beneficial, as this will allow users to start using the SDSF z/OSMF Plugin right away with minimal user intervention.

RACF RACDCERT should support PDS(E) and zFS as well as sequential data sets

RACDCERT ADD, CHECKCERT, GENREQ etc. require a unique sequential dataset. Usability would be improved if RACF supported a PDS or PDSE member, or even a zFE file.

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.
