    When Navigator is configured to support TLS, unsecure http requests to port 2001 should redirect to Navigator over https port 2003

    Advanced Job Scheduler - Increase job group size from 99 to 999 (# of jobs included in a group) (or at least more than 100)

    We currently use a non-IBM job scheduler that frequently has over 100 jobs in the job grouping. We would like to use AJS to replace this product, but one of the limiting factors is only 99 jobs are allowed in a group.

    currently we can have an advanced job scheduler job added to run at a specific time. This is great but allows for the possibility of missing journal receiver entries. I would like to add the option to run the audit journal data mart process when t...

    Provide an end time for long running jobs in Advanced Job Scheduler (5770JS1)

    We have a number of long running AJS jobs that start 06:00 and end 23:00 for example. It would be great to have this function built-in rather than have to write a routine to end the job.

    Make the system number static for multiple systems connected to HMCs

    We have many LPARs which our many operators need to start console sessions on (monitoring backups, etc.). As such, we use macros to connect to these LPARs. When an HMC is rebooted, the number of the systems often change so the existing macros eith...
