  - CDP modifies CICS Liberty json messasges.log
  Duplicate escape process applied for JSON message which causes
  invalid characters in CICS messages.log.
  
  - savingpolicy.sh script doesn't support "@" character
  Incorrect checking for the USER and GROUP in savingpolicy.sh.
  
  - Missing time process for CICS YMD and DMY data streams
  No data format assigned for CICS YMD & DMY data streams which
  causes incorrect result in Splunk.
  
  - CDPz Data Streamer does not understand the Logstash request
  to close the TCPIP connection
  Data Streamer does not acknowledge connection close requests
  from TCP based subscribers.
  
  - Data Streamer does not close http/https connection
  Data streamer needs to be updated to close the http/https
  connection when it is no longer alive.
  
  - Incorrect @timestamp value set for SMF_119_94_98 at on
  Splunk/Logstash
  The @timestamp value is incorrect for SMF_119_94_98 which causes
  Splunk and Logstash to can not find the correct fields.
