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...

AMAPDUPL and meaningful error messages

Using AMAPDUPL return sometimes RC different of zero. In general this RC and messages are not meaningful or comprehensible or printed on the sysout. For exemple, if you want to have a TARGET_DSN with an £ character, the server return a bad request...

Allow PDUU to override TCPIP.DATA when using FTP flavor

PDUU can't override the global TCPIP.DATA values, when invoking FTP. As a result we can't make use of TCPIP.DATA overrides, like NOCACHE. Allowing NOCACHE would allow us to send each FTP stream through one of our different proxy servers via a Load...

Make DAE - ADYSET00 possible to supress SYSUDUMP the same way as SYSMDUMP can be supressed today.

When we get problems in our Environment with a lot of SYSUDUMPs produced and filling up our SPOOL volumes. Then we would like to have the possibility that DAE - ADYSET00 can supress all our SYSUDUMP's. This can avoid that all our spool volumes to ...

DAE should include functionality to purge/discard dumps by abend code for a customizable duration of time.

DAE currently requires manual intervention to ensure dumps are no longer suppressed. It is not uncommon that problem scenarios can involve many of the same dump being produced within a very short duration of time (such as 10 minutes or 1 hr). In t...

Reduce clutter in IPCS formatting of GTFTRACE output in batch

We use IPCS to format GTF traces from CICS but the IPCS GTFTRACE output includes extra lines that we don't want to see. To solve this, we first send the IPCS formatted GTF trace to a temporary dataset, then use a REXX to clean off the unwanted lin...

Allow PVTMOD/PVTEP modules to be traced when a module of the same name has been loaded via GLOBAL=YES.

Introduce a new SLIP option on the PVTMOD/PVTEP statement, to indicate that a loaded-to-global module should be ignored when a module of the same name, exists in the private area of the specified address space.

Enhance granularity for CTRACE_DEFAULT_OR_MIN Health Check

Currently, the CTRACE_DEFAULT_OR_MIN Health Check is an "all or nothing" proposition--that is, there is no way to tell the Check that it is "OK" to be using non-default or "minimum" trace parameters for any one specific Component. So, if any one C...

Implement an equivalent to MAXTNDSP used on the CD command for SDUMP today for IEATDUMP/SYSMDUMP/ABDUMP

The Java agent configured in xdump option CICS JVM server triggered a JVM transaction dump (TDUMP). We experienced a two minutes service interruption because TDUMP processing, by design, set all TCBs in the CICS address space in non-dispatchable. ...

The AMAPDUPL program does not invoke the FTP Client program of EZAFTPLC with the AUTH parameter with a value of TLS preventing use of FTPS via AT-TLS

The AMAPDUPL program does not invoke the FTP Client program of EZAFTPLC with the AUTH parameter with a value of TLS preventing use of FTPS via TLS V1.2 via AT-TLS. Do note, that the z/OS FTP Client configuration setting of 'TLSMECHANISM FTP' is ob...
