What's new in IZSME

These new features are available in IZSME v1.1.8.

Version 1.1.8

This version of IBM Z Service Management Explorer contains the following enhancements and changes:

  • Take Action is now available from the Navigator, the Situation Event Console, and workspace views. This allows you to respond quickly when predefined situations become true. See Take Action from the Navigator, Situations and Workspaces
  • You can now purge CICS transactions from IZSME. See Purging CICS tasks. Required OMEGAMON for CICS PTF: UJ07731.
  • IZSME has improved management of agent status information. To achieve better performance and more accurate display of agent status, INODESTS tables are now updated every 30 seconds, regardless of whether the browser requested an update. To reduce resource costs, updates are incremental; changes only, not the entire table, and tables that have not been used in at least 600 seconds are not updated.

IMPORTANT: Securing communications with mutual auth TLS

IZSME must be configured to use mutual authentication to secure communications between Java Sidecar and the Zowe Node server. Sites that have previously configured AT-TLS for a previous version of IZSME will need to configure AT-TLS again, to enable mutual authentication TLS with version 1.1.8. See Configuring mutual auth TLS to secure Node - JavaSidecar communications for details.
