Version 16.00 (April 2026)

  • The license file is intended to support an organization with multiple licenses. Licenses for multiple products on the same LPAR or on different LPARs are shipped together in a single file. The supporting programs (see – base support (89), 22, Import Authorization) have been improved to provide:
    • Automatic loading of all licenses relevant to the LPAR in which the command is run.
    • Loading of a single product license
  • Check Authorization (CHKISA) command alerts about products whose license is about to expire. It was changed to skip products that are installed but are not licensed.
  • Live Partition Mobility (LPM) enables transferring the entire workload of an active LPAR to another System or LPAR, without interrupting the work being done. We have formalized the Automatic setting of licenses, so that when the transfer occurs, the operating system causes the license changes automatically. The enhancement includes the Work with LPM (WRKISLPM) command, which enables Add/Remove/Check of automatic changing of licenses when LPM becomes active.
  • Watchdog is a set of programs that works independently (out of the standard iSecurity subsystem). The Watchdog ensures that important parts of the product are active and working. This includes the subsystems as well as specific components of each product. If a product or feature is found inactive during a certain period, an alert is raised. Alert sends messages, emails, or calls a user-written program, once every few minutes.
  • Work with Collected Data, part of the base support (89) menu, now also shows the sizes of journal receivers and data ready for backup.

Version 15.11 (November 2025)

  • Release number updated due to changes in Audit.

Version 15.02 (January 2024)

New Features

  • You can now control the number of characters printed on PDF report lines. This is done by changing the Characters Per Inch (CPI) setting in STRAUD > 89 > 59 > 3 PDF CPI/Width (estimated).
  • It is now possible to set the CCSID for PC files to UTF-8 or other CCSIDs.

Improvements

  • Users of each product who have the maximum authority for all iSecurity product components (shown by having 9 for all entries), can now add new operators in STRxx > 89 > 11 & 12.
  • This comes in addition to the previous requirement according to which only users having both *SECADM and *AUDIT special authorities could have add new operators.

Fixes

  • User can decide whether to attach empty reports or not.
  • If a report is empty, the notation “NO-DATA” appears in the title. This eliminates the need to open reports that contain no rejects.
  • If a zip file that contains reports that are all empty, the notation “NO-DATA” appears in the name of the zip file. This eliminates the need to open zip files that contain no rejects.

Version 14.29 (October 2023)

  • Release number updated due to changes in Audit.
