Necessary MQ Security Enhancements - Especially on z/OS

Lack of access visibility, especially while RESLEVEL is set permissively For example, if the CICS ID establishes a connection to MQ, MQ would not verify subsequent IDs from a user ID leveraging that CICS region to submit something to MQ from CIC...

IBM should provide the flexibility to operate a single port at different speeds when the hardware supports higher bandwidth. At present, the 100G ports appear to require a dedicated 100G connection rather than allowing operation at lower speeds. While the appliance already provides 1G, 10G, and limited 40G options, once higher-bandwidth connectivity is introduced it becomes a business decision as to which speed is appropriate for the environment. Allowing the 100G ports to operate at multiple speeds would provide greater flexibility and help align the connectivity choice with the actual business requirement.

MQ on z/OS - Could you please increase the space limit for local queues on z/OS MQ beyond the current 64GB?

We have processes that generate a large number of messages in a short period for asynchronous processing, all directed to a single queue. Eventually, the associated pageset becomes full, causing messages to overflow to the Dead Letter Queue (DLQ),...

Service IP for NativeHA QMGR setup

We have been using RDQM for a couple of years now. With the feature to attach Floating / Service Ip to the NIC with a command it helped us to route the traffic seamless within HA and across HA/DR along with network DNS routing. We would like this ...
