  ****************************************************************
  01.Enhancement to show information, like current resource
     usage, on active address spaces. This enhancement is similar
     to SDSF Display Active.
  
     The service is enabled by default, but can be disabled with
     new environment variable DISPLAY_ACTIVE=OFF.
  02.Enhancement to provide additional job info, like the job
     ASID.
  03.Enhancement to allow requeue of waiting jobs, by altering
     CLASS, and job output, by altering MSGCLASS.
  04.The exception is caused due to a component in the message
     utility fails to load properly. It is missing a reference
     properties bundle during the loading.
  05.Implement lock tracking ability for RSE by utilizing VSAM
     dataset to be able to see true lock owner across different
     threadpool process as well as on different LPAR in a sysplex
     environment.
  06.Add new feature Display Active to z/OS Explorer client to
     show system address spaces and all active job address spaces
  07.FEKLOGS enhancement to test NLSPATH
  08.z/OS Explorer JMON does not detect TSO SUBMIT completion
     when the template job output goes to the OUTPUT SERVICE
     WRITER queue. This results in JMON waiting for a timeout
     before reporting back to the client.
  
     Bypass: change the template jobcard to send job output to a
     regular output queue
  09.IBM Explorer for z/OS (zExpl) FEKAPPL authentication error
     using RSEAPI. Connection using RSED (used by z/OS Explorer
     and IBM Developer for Z) works fine using the same
     definition.
  
     server log: server failure: Authentification Failed (8:34:0)
  
     syslog: ICH408I USER(userid) GROUP(group) NAME(name)
     LOGON/JOB INITIATION - NOT AUTHORIZED TO APPLICATION FEKAPPL
  
     This problem only occurs if there is a catch-all profile in
     the APPL class that denies access, as RSEAPI does not
     properly check for the FEKAPPL profile.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01.Enhancement to show information on active address spaces.
  02.Enhancement to provide additional job info.
  03.Enhancement to allow requeue of waiting jobs and job output.
  04.Include the required properties bundles in the utility
     package for it to load and work properly.
  05.Code implemented.
  06.Users can run Display Active feature in z/OS Explorer client
     to retrieve system address spaces and all active job address
     spaces
  07.FEKLOGS enhancement to test NLSPATH
  08.JMON now tests for OUTPUT and OUTWRT queues
  09.pad APPLID before passing it to security manager
