New OMC-FLASH™4.5.5 Delivers Enhanced Usability, Expanded IBM Health
Checker Support, and Customizable Command Aliasing...

Health Checker Display Facility (HC) now enables users to utilize OMC-FLASH to view IBM Health Checker output and information, and make dynamic, temporary changes to check states
and other values. Changes made remain until the check is refreshed. Filtering is also available to select checks for display based on criteria for any field. Changes made in the OMC-FLASH Health Checker Facility can also be logged to a special log data set.

Command Aliasing Facility (CMDALIAS) enables OMC-FLASH users to create and maintain custom aliases for primary and line commands in OMC-FLASH. New OMC-FLASH command aliasing provides more transparent operation for users of multiple JES tools, and will allow new users to easily transition into OMC-FLASH from other environments and applications.

Standardized Pull-Down Menus provide users with a new standard menu bar on all
OMC-FLASH panels that helps users easily select and locate OMC-FLASH functions, and presents a common "look and feel" throughout OMC-FLASH.

Enhanced SORT Command now provides expanded sorting by any column on any OMC-FLASH dynamic display, using any column name as the sort parameter along with specifying ascending or descending order. Through the enhanced SORT command, OMC-FLASH users can now quickly change the sort order of displays to expedite retrieval of the desired information.

Enhanced DEFAULT Command for Site-Wide Tables allows OMC-FLASH administrative users to select which entries should be saved in the site-wide table. This includes all current options (layouts and filters) as well as any new OMC-FLASH command aliases defined.

New RET Command to Retrieve Previous Commands in DC and EMCS enables users to retrieve previously executed commands in the DC and EMCS DC facilities by entering the RET command in the command line. The previously executed DC command will then be placed in the command line field for the user to edit and/or re-execute.

Enhanced COPY Function for the JSP and the DIP now retains the JES3 Control Block dataset attribute. The COPY function for the JSP and the DIP will use the SYSOUT attributes for the
copy parameters. The attributes include the following fields: UCS, FCB, CHARS and others.

New LAYOUT Command allows users to display all defined layouts, and activate or delete layouts from the list.

New MYPROF Command allows users to utilize a single command to maintain and modify
OMC-FLASH User Profile settings, parameters, and values saved to the user profile.

New -D Indicator for Duplicate Jobs now identifies duplicate jobs in JES2 and JES3 by displaying a -D indicator in the STATUS field.
