Got frustrated. Some highlights that I like:
===
SDSF now provides job and output management for JES3, including display
and control of jobs and spool data sets. All SDSF functions not specific
to JES2 or JES3 are available in the JES3 environment, including support
for REXXtm functions and variables, IBM Health Checker for z/OS, WLM,
and operator log display. SAF-based security is provided for JES3 SDSF
functions. This new support is designed to allow you to use SDSF in both
JES3 and JES2 environments.
===
IBM provides a new JES3 Spool Data Set Browse (SDSB) application
programming interface that can be used instead of the SYSOUT Application
Programming Interface (SAPI). This new function is designed to allow
more than one program to read a data set at one time; to read data sets
that are still being created by active address spaces; and, for address
spaces running on the same system, to display buffered data that has not
yet been written to spool.
===
* The ability to specify multiple targets for the ISPF EDIT move
and copy line commands. This can help you eliminate repetitious use of
these commands when copying or moving lines that will have multiple
destinations.
* A new z/OS UNIX interface to ISPF and TSO/E commands to allow them
to be issued from the z/OS UNIX shell.
* A new ISPF service, DIRLIST, to display z/OS UNIX directory. Also,
a new ISPF command, UDLIST, allows a directory to be listed.
* Enhanced Screen Swapping. When using more than two logical
screens, navigation among the screens can be supplemented by Point and
Shoot fields at bottom of the screen. This new support is intended to
make it easier to navigate within an ISPF session and to supplement the
existing SWAP LIST and SWAP NEXT support.
* The ISPF Data Set List panel (Option 3.4) is enhanced to support
block commands. This is intended to allow you to act on multiple data
sets using fewer line commands; for example, using paired "DD" commands
will specify that a block of data sets is to be deleted.
===
Allow you to specify DFSORT installation options in new ICEPRMxx members
of the parmlib concatenation. A new START ICEOPT command can be used to
specify up to ten ICEPRMxx members to be used. Each member can contain
overrides for any of the DFSORT installation options in any of the eight
environments (JCL, INV, TSO, TSOINV, TD1, TD2, TD3, and TD4). This new
function is intended to simplify the specification of DFSORT
installation options.
===
A new function, HiperDispatch, can help provide increased scalability
and performance of higher n-way System z10 servers by improving the way
workload is dispatched within the server. HiperDispatch is designed to
accomplish this by recognizing the physical processor topology, tracking
where units of work have run, and attempting to redispatch them as close
to the same physical processors as possible. This intelligent
dispatching can help reduce the effects of memory latency to improve
performance and reduce CPU time. HiperDispatch is available with new z10
EC and z/OS (z/OS V1.7 with the IBM zIIP Support for z/OS and z/OS.e
V1R6/R7 Web deliverable and PTFs, z/OS V1.8 or V1.9 with PTFs, or z/OS
V1.10). For more information, see the Preventive Service Planning bucket
(PSP) for z10 EC, 2097DEVICE.
===
Support is available for common storage above the 2 GB bar. A new
virtual storage area, the High Common Storage Area (HCSA), is defined.
Storage Management services and RMF support for HCSA are also available.
This new support provides the infrastructure required for many users of
CSA and ECSA storage to move data above the Bar. This is expected to
lead to virtual storage constraint relief (VSCR) over time. In z/OS
V1.10 the IOS UCB extension (UCBX) control block is moved to HCSA.
===
In z/OS V1.10, the maximum size of individual page data sets is
increased to 65,520 cylinders, or about 44.9 GB per page data set. In
addition, the maximum total size of all page data sets on a single
system is increased to 11 TB. The new maximum page data set size is also
available on z/OS V1.8 with PTF UA40555 and on z/OS V1.9 with PTF
UA40556. On z/OS V1.8 and z/OS V1.9, these PTFs also increase the
maximum total size of all page data sets on a single system to 8 TB.
This new support is expected to allow you to better exploit larger
volumes while providing a substantial increase in the maximum amount of
auxiliary storage available for z/OS systems.
===
A new Java class is provided to allow Java programs to invoke the z/OS
Communications Server FTP Client. This API support extends the existing
z/OS Communications Server FTP Client API to support the Java
programming language, and includes a sample Java program.
===
z/OS V1.10 ISPF adds a new TSO/ISPF Client Gateway. The TSO/ISPF Client
Gateway is an interface you can use to invoke TSO and ISPF commands and
applications. This z/OS UNIX based gateway allows client applications to
use Web-based communication services such as HTTP to invoke TSO and ISPF
commands. The interface is designed to provide support for multiple TSO
and ISPF sessions and allows these sessions to maintain state between
command invocations.
===
Custom fields can now be added for RACF USER and GROUP profiles, with
corresponding administration support using RACF commands, ISPF panels
and LDAP. This support is designed to allow you to add fields using a
new RACF CFIELD class to define the new fields to be added to USER or
GROUP profiles and the labels you want to use for them. These fields are
added to a new CSDATA segment of USER and GROUP profiles. Once the
fields have been defined, the RACF commands used for user and group
administration and the corresponding LDAP administration support can be
used.
===
In z/OS V1.10, IBM delivers the final phase of Consoles Enhancements. In
this phase, consoles processing has been redesigned to reduce
serialization contention by reducing the scope of serialization for many
operations from a console class to an individual console. Additionally,
support is provided to increase the maximum number of MCS, SMCS, and
subsystem consoles in a sysplex from 99 per sysplex to 99 active
consoles per system; also, defining up to 250 consoles per system is
supported (of which up to 99 may be concurrently active), and wildcard
support is added for the DISPLAY CONSOLES command along with improved
command response messages.
===
Auto-IPL support provides the capability to request that the system
automatically IPL stand-alone dump, z/OS, or both when a disabled wait
state is requested by a system component. This function is designed to
be under the control of new parmlib parameters and a new Wait State
Action Table (WSAT); together, they specify the actions, if any, to be
taken for various disabled wait states. In a sysplex environment, the
Sysplex Failure Manager (SFM) policy can result in actions that load
disabled wait states on systems to be partitioned out of the sysplex,
which can also trigger Auto-IPL processing. New options on the VARY XCF
operator command will allow you to request a SADMP, z/OS IPL, or both
after the indicated system has been removed from the sysplex. This new
Auto-IPL capability is intended to help you achieve faster failure data
capture and recovery after system failures.
