    Zowe v2.5 enhancements and fixes


    Zowe CLI v7.9.1 includes the following updates:

    • Enhancement: Added new functions to support the changing of a job class and the hold status of a job. Can now call zowe jobs modify job [jobid] with options --jobclass, --hold, and --release. (#1156)
    • Enhancement: Updated Imperative to incorporate new zowe config report-env command from version 5.7.0.
    • Enhancement: To view a subset of data set content instead of the entire file, added new command zowe files view ds ... --range SSS-EEE | SSS,NNN. (#1539)
    • Enhancement: To define the unit of space allocation when creating a data set, added ZosFilesCreateOptions.alcunit option to PDS definition. (#1203)
    • BugFix: Documented in the CLI web help that the --token-type and --token-value options do not apply to SSH commands.
    • BugFix: Updated Imperative to include bug fixes in version 5.7.2.
    • BugFix: Updated the zowe zos-files create data-set command to work without the --like flag. (#1252)

    Zowe CLI Imperative Framework v5.7.2 includes the following updates:

    • Enhancement: Exported AppSettings for CLI and other applications to use. (#840)

    • Enhancement: Changed default set of columns in list elements action: fullElmName instead of elmName is shown.

    • BugFix: On list elements commands where --data is unspecified and there is no --full-output flag, the default has changed from returning all element information to basic element information.
    • BugFix: If there is a manual conflict resolution in sync workspace, other actions will be prevented from executing.
