DFSMSrmm EDGHSKP hold function

Currently, if we wanted to hold RMM EDGHSKP functions, we are not able to do this. F DFRMM,HOLD(HSKP) would only allow you to hold the HSKP function if it was running at the time, but, does not prevent any NEW future HSKP. There is HOLD(ALL) and HOLD(NEW), but, that prevents all subsystem functions. So, only way around this at this time would be for them to create a BR14 pgm called EDGHSKP.

    Exactly as we need it.
    A way to disable all housekeeping - Until we decide to enable it again.

    I woud prefer if it could be turned on/off by a dynamically activated parameter.

    An important function to ask for. Especially when using zCybervault where you start up a clone of production to validate data against Cyber threads.

    For our installation an important small thing for IBM to solve.

    One of ideas to provide this possibility is to implement
    F DFRMM,DISABLE(HSKP(function))
    F DFRMM,ENABLE(HSKP(function))

    since the request, in fact, sounds more as to have a possibility to temporarily 'disable' some of EDGHSKP functions... so that if EDGHSKP gets started the processing will verify whether the requested functions are disabled If not - runs as usual, if yes - performs non-disabled ( if any requested) , and completes with the message that such and such fuctions were not run since they are disabled...
