With z/OS V1R11, SDSF adds the following new function:
- Expanded function in the JES3 environment. The SYSLOG, Job Class (JC) and Spool Volumes (SP) panels are now available for JES3, as is a new JESPLEX (JP) panel, which is similar to the JES2 MAS panel. You can display and modify output descriptors for JES3 jobs through the Output Descriptor (OD) panel and the Job Data Set (JDS) panel. In addition, when you browse a JES3 job that is running on a system other than the one you are logged on to, you now see data not yet written to spool.
- Enhancements to the support for the REXX programming language. SDSF simplifies entering system commands with a new ISFSLASH command, and allows multiple actions or column modifications to be performed with a single ISFACT command. A new ISFRESET function drops all special variables. The COLSHELP command, which shows information about columns, is now context-sensitive and includes filter and locate functions.
- Elimination of the need for the HASPINDX data set with the SYSLOG. The HASPINDX-based SYSLOG is replaced by a logical log that should result in better performance.
- Simplified sysplex support. You no longer need the SDSF server and WebSphere MQ to see the latest data (data not yet written to spool)
when displaying the SYSLOG for a system other than the one you are logged on to.
- Addition of a check for use with IBM Health Checker for z/OS. This check determines whether the SAF class SDSF is active.
With z/OS V1R10, SDSF adds the following new function:
- Support for JES3. SDSF now operates in a JES3 environment. The job-related panels (DA, I and ST) show data for JES3 jobs. Other SDSF panels that do not depend on JES are also available in the JES3 environment.
- Enhancements to the support for the REXX programming language. SDSF simplifies specifying the field list to use when accessing a panel, allows you to obtain all of the column values for a specific row, supports an unlimited number of filters and lets you define the relationship between filters (AND or OR).
- Addition of a check for use with IBM Health Checker for z/OS. This check determines if you are using the assembler macro ISFPARMS rather than parmib member ISFPRMxx for SDSF configuration.
- Simplified support for browse in a sysplex. You no longer need the SDSF sysplex function, which uses the SDSF server and WebSphere MQ, to see the latest data (data not yet written to spool) when browsing a JES2 job that is running on a system other than the one you are logged on to. The SDSF sysplex function is still required to see the latest data when browsing the SYSLOG for a system other than the one you are logged on to, and for sysplex-wide device panels.
With z/OS V1R9, SDSF adds the following new function:
- Support for the REXX programming language. This merges the power of SDSF with the simplicity of REXX. Access SDSF data and function with REXX execs. SDSF's REXX support offers a richer alternative to using SDSF in batch mode.
- New columns on the CK panel to support enhancements to IBM Health Checker for z/OS.
