Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• New functionalities:
  
  1. Configuration Tool:
     a. Global Properties
        Definitions can now be applied globally for data streams
        and transform types, thus reducing duplication of
        definitions.
  
     b. New transform types:
        - Splitters for z/OS Log Forwarder data streams
        - Ability to filter records:
        - based on time intervals
        - based on regex patterns
  
     c. Transform types are now mapped specifically to the
        correct data streams.
  
     d. z/OS Log Forwarder OPERLOG support.
  
  2. Data Streamer:
     a. HBODSPRO - New started task for the Data Streamer.
  
     b. Three new parameters
        i.   TZ - Timezone setting
        ii.  RESOLVER_CONFIG - TCPIP explicitly provided.
        iii. _BPXK_SETIBMOPT_TRANSPORT - Affinity with a specific
             TCPIP stack is required.
  
     c. Commands to start/stop/display the Data Streamer job or
        started task. The newly supplied HBODS001 job or HBODSPRO
        started task must be used for these commands to work.
  
     d. The Data Streamer will now write to the file buffer
        immediately when the first packet has been received
        and the subscriber is still not connected.
  
     e. Support for payloads where packets from gatherers
        are already split before being received by the Data
        Streamer.
  
     f. Support for streaming data to Splunk and ELK.
  
     g. Support of open streaming API.
  
     h. Support fo HTTP/HTTPS data transmission protocols.
  
     i. Sequence numbers now added to the packet meta data
        to allow subscribers to sort log records.
  
     j. Improved IDAA support.
  
     k. Added support for Job Name and File Path wildcard masking
        for z/OS Log Forwarder streams.
  
     l. Fixed error handling when TCPIP not available.
  
  3. Data Receiver:
     a. Fixed error handling when TCPIP not available.
