    Hello Mainframe Software community!

    The Enterprise Support for Zowe team is pleased to announce the release of Zowe v3.2.

    This release includes:

    • Endevor Plug-in for Zowe CLI enhancements

    • OPS/MVS Plug-in for Zowe CLI fix

    • Zowe 3.2 updates

      • Zowe CLI enhancements and fixes

      • Zowe CLI Imperative Framework enhancements and fixes

    Endevor Plug-in for Zowe CLI

    • Added a new limit parameter to the zowe endevor list elements and zowe endevor list packages commands.

    • Added a new allowed value of delete to the scl-action parameter of the zowe endevor list elements command.

    • Added a new expand-includes parameter to the zowe endevor print element command.

    OPS/MVS Plug-in for Zowe CLI

    • Fixed a bug in the zowe ops show records command.

    Zowe CLI

    • Updated the Daemon binary version for technical currency. [#2479]

    • Fixed a bug that resulted in daemon commands running slower with every additional command. [#2470]

    • Fixed the --show-inputs-only option on commands with chained command handlers, such as zowe zos-files copy data-set-cross-lpar. [#2446]

    • When using the zowe zos-files copy data-set command, if a target partitioned data set has a smaller record length than a source partitioned data set, the operation for subsequent members no longer stops. The user can now view the affected members in a local file. [#2349]

    • Users were not warned when copying partitioned data sets with identical member names. Now, the user is prompted to confirm before continuing the copy operation to avoid potential data loss. [#2349]

    • The zowe zos-files copy data-set command overwrites the contents of the target data set without user confirmation. A --safe-replace option was added which prompts the user to confirm before overwriting the contents of the target data set. [#2369]

    • Added the ability to search data sets with regex patterns by passing --regex into the zowe zos-files search data-sets command. [#2432]

    • Added the overwrite parameter to the zowe zos-files copy data-set command to allow for overwriting all members of a target data set with source data set members. [#2450]

    • Added the ability to see secure properties when running zowe config list when the ZOWE_SHOW_SECURE_ARGS environment variable is set to true. [#2259]

    • Added the --data-set-type flag to the zowe zos-files create data-set-sequential command to allow for creating extended and large formatted sequential data sets. [#2141]

    • Added the --recordRange flag to the zowe jobs download output command to allow users to select a specific range of records to output from a spool file. [#2411]

    • The zowe zos-files copy data-set command no longer requires the target data set to be preallocated. [#2349]

    Imperative

    • Fixed inconsistent behavior with the ZOWE_SHOW_SECURE_ARGS environment variable continuing to mask secure properties when it should not. [#2430]

    • Fixed help text example section's wrapping issue where the first line of the description is wrapped differently than the rest of the lines. [#1945].

    • When in daemon mode, the user would not see Imperative initialization errors, but now the errors are passed back to the user's terminal window. [#1875].

    • Added a line to the output to display the authentication type when using the --show-inputs-only option. [#2462]

    • Added a favicon to the Web Help that displays in browser tabs. [#801]
