  This APAR includes new features.
  
  OMEGAMON Data Broker:
  
  -  Minimum supported Zowe version raised from 3.0.0 to 3.2.0
  
     Broker is a plug-in for the Zowe cross-memory server.
  
     The latest plug-in requires a server from Zowe 3.2.0 or any
     later 3.x.x.
  
     If you already run Broker using the server that is supplied
     with OMEGAMON Data Provider, then this change involves no
     additional upgrade action for you. As before, use the latest
     supplied load modules.
  
     However, if you run Broker using a server in a separate Zowe
     installation, then you need to take additional action. See
     the "What's new" topic for this APAR in the OMEGAMON Data
     Provider product documentation.
  
  -  Upgraded Zowe cross-memory server
  
     OMEGAMON Data Provider supplies the Zowe cross-memory server
     load module in TKANMODP(KAYSIS01) and the dynamic linkage
     base plug-in for the server in TKANMODP(KAYSISDL). These load
     modules have been updated to match the load modules supplied
     with Zowe 3.2.0.
  
  -  Plug-in load module eligible for module sharing
  
     The Broker plug-in load module, KAYB0001, loads into the z/OS
     link pack area (LPA). This module is now eligible for the
     module sharing feature of Zowe, potentially conserving LPA
     space when a z/OS instance runs multiple instances of
     Broker.
  
  OMEGAMON Data Connect:
  
  -  HTTP output: Splunk HEC support
  
     The HTTP output now supports sending data to the Splunk HTTP
     Event Collector (HEC) event endpoint,
     services/collector/event.
  
  -  Prometheus output: use table primary key fields as default
     labels
  
     You no longer have to specify metric labels. The labels
     parameter is now optional.
  
     If you omit labels, then, by default, the Prometheus output
     uses the primary key fields of the table as labels. For the
     list of primary key fields of a table, see the primary_key
     entry in the dictionary provided by the data source.
