    z/OS IPL simulation

    It should be very valuable to test an upcoming IPL in case of z/OS upgrade or other system parameter change. The simulation could consist of various checks for example ipl & catalog volume address verification, IPLPARM LOADxy syntax check, var...

    Control passphrase strength and complexity, just like password strength and complexity is today.

    We must enforce complexity rules for passphrase (i.e. : minimal length, pattern, ...etc...), just like we do for password. Some regulatory bodies compel us to do so in Banking industry. The subparameter RULEn of SETROPTS PASSWORD command should ap...

    All error messages for shell tools should be complete and NOT require referencing a Messages and Codes manual

    Receiving a message like this (example from DSFS dsadm command): IDFS00329E Could not set creation parameters, return code 126 reason code ED07621A. Is confusing and meaningless to the average OMVS shell user. They are not used to finding a messag...

    PDUU (AMAPDUPL) should support UNIX files

    We plan to use AMAPDUPL replacing plain FTP for sending dumps, logs, files to IBM for problem determination. Unfortunately, AMAPUDUPL doesn't support Unix file. SYSUT1 is only for sequential dataset and PDS. In order to send Unix files to IBM with...

    Full AMAPDUPL support, when using "send diagnostic data" in incident log

    Incident log send diagnostic data facility collects all the data needed to send to ibm cases in an easy way. Full AMAPDUPL support would help to send this data easy. ATTLS should be full supported

    Include REVOKE in FACILITY password reset authorities

    Enhance the authority associated with FACILITY resource IRR.PASSWORD.RESET and those prefixed IRR.PWRESET to allow users to REVOKE an ID within the existing scope of authority of these resources. These FACILITY resources allow users to RESUME and ...

    Define the conflicting certificates have same public key within RACF database

    RACF database should have certificates with same public key to be defined. As long as certificates have different serial number, they should be consider as different certificates. Since Digicert has created two intermediate CA which have different...

    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.

    zSORT Batch Pipes support

    Bradesco uses DFSORT in many of its jobs that run on production LPARs. We recently have put on a project to test and certify the use of zSORT as a way of lowering the elapsed time of our critical jobs in the batch window. We also make use of Batch...

    SDSF - update CFS panel in column Encrypt

    While the SDSF 'CFS' panel provides a great overview for all details of the structure including encryption details, it would be great if the panel can incorporate the feasibility of encryption or not by structure type. By design, structures from t...
