We are announcing enhancements to the listed product.
Support for IBM z/OS 3.1 is available, as we announced in(ID 315602) Technical bulletin: Day-one support for IBM z/OS 3.1
Overview of the enhancements
- You can use the new operator command PURGE TP=, to purge the TP connection from the HCI address space. You can also use the command to obtain a list of active HCI user IDs along with TP sequence numbers.
- You can now define an internal proxy HTTP address to override the default BMC HTTP address in the BMC AMI zAdviser product.
- You can use the new XChange parameter POSTEPOC to request date-time simulations between the years 2041 and 2099 in the BMC AMI DevX Total Test product.
Corrected issue
In BMC AMI DevX Workbench for Eclipse version 20.14.02 and later, an abend occurs when you attempt to view and refresh the JES report.
ECC PTF CXSJ91A resolves the issue.
