Adding ExtraInfo1 and ExtraInfo2 onto SPE reports

I can see that the existing BPN Reports has options for running reports to get the ExteraInfo1 and ExtraInfo2 reports but the SPE Reporting has not been given with this option. We need this information as we are storing some of the important det...

If ConnectDirect is hung there is no way to tell if it is, there must be a heartbeat check to confirm if NDM is healthy.

CX/ZOS Possibility to swap the logging so it is not increasing indefinitely

In CX/ZOS, the SYSLOG and other ddnames are increasing indefinitely. If they are Sysouts, which is convenient, this can cause Spool problems. It would be great to have the possibility to swap them, as Z/OS offers it for the ddnames JESMSGLG and JE...

CX SYSUE1 Refresh only if it has no errors
