Add ability to capture ACS OSS Package Upgrade log


As part of my team's patch management to our customers, we have to log  dealts and resulting levels for all updates to IBM OSS components, we do this on multiple LPARs on multi servers. The Package upgrade dialog generated by ACS  OSS tool is ideal for that log information but as far as I can see, there is no way to export this log, instead I have to screen shot it

My Idea is that you offer a way to capture / save this ACS text so that we can use it in our patch manage management documentation.

    Added capability to copy the contents of a terminal session started by Open Source Package Management.
    Ctrl-a (Windows) and Command-a (Mac) will do a select-all and copy to the system clipboard.

    This support is available in version 1.1.9.9.

    Steve, maybe the yum log is sufficient? Take a look at /QOpenSys/var/log/yum.log.
    The only thing I miss in this log is the year, only month, day and time is there, but we forward this log to Splunk so we get the year there.
