Request new function: z/OS ICSF a CCA Rexx/CSFIQF API to display enabled ACPs via the ISPF ICSF panels for each coprocessor.

RFE -- Request new function:

z/OS ICSF a CCA Rexx/CSFIQF API to display enabled ACPs via the ISPF ICSF panels for each Crypto co-processors.

Need a method via (CCA Rexx - CSFIQF API ?) that we can use on ICSF, other than displaying & copying the enabled ACPs via the ISPF/ICSF panels ?

*****************************
TKE: Having a listing of the enabled ACPs by Lpar via the TKE, is a normal customer admin task, which they put to use prior to making changes or updates to enabled ACPs, in order to have a backup before and after.

***
From an IBM support perspective, it would really be helpful if we could query ICSF to get the 'enabled ACPs-listing', but no CCA CSFIQF API is currently available to do this.

    I also see great value in showing the NOT Enabled ACPs since that list changes with hardware and ICSF updates. We have been caught with not having an ACP enabled after an upgrade.

    This can be really interesting to do a check on discrepancy between card and LPAR of a SYSPLEX

    This request specifically mentions a method to list the "enabled" ACPs but we also see value in providing a way to display disabled ACPs. Currently, the only way (we are aware of) to view all ACPs available on the system (enabled+disabled) is to do so from the TKE workstation itself. The development teams would find it useful to be able to confirm (outside the TKE WS) that required ACPs are available on the system to be activated and if not be able to alert the systems teams early in the planning stages to begin researching what ICSF upgrades are required to provide the necessary support.
