WAVV Requirement Form

 

Date: 6/18/2009                                           Requirement #:  WAVV201002

Product Name:    z/VM   Product Release# (or state “current”): current

Vendor Name:     IBM

 

Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)Allowing CP to present different logos for users on different IP net

Detailed Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)

 

z/VM users coming from different IP networks can be given different logos ONLY if they are communicating with a separate TCP stack, eg TCPIP2. CP has no awareness of IP address during logo selection. It would be useful to have that capability.

                                                                                             

Priority: (Select one: Urgent - High - Medium - Low) Low

Requested Completion Date: (When? Examples: 3 months, 1 year, Next Release) next release

Requirement Type: (Select one: Acceptability - Compatibility/Migration - Ease of Use - Feature/Function - Performance - Reliability/Availability/Serviceability - Packaging - Interoperability)

Ease of Use

Business Justification: (Why? Non-technical business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your company, and the vendor and others?  Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc.   Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)

 

In many cases, users in SNA networks commonly customize logos to indicate origin and other information about how the user connected for support purposes. Similar capability would be useful for IP networks.

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)

 

     

Impact: (Optional) (How will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)

 

Separate TCP stacks are a PITA to maintain.
