  1. Planned suspend capability
  Operators can plan and implement automated operations changes in
  advance and have the flexibility to make them effective at any
  time without impacting the existing automation and exposing the
  changes to the operatios team prematurely.
  This is accomplished by introducing a "suspend file" on top of
  System Automation's suspend capability that is already available
  V4.1.0.
  
  2. Enhanced configuration for Service Management Unite and
  End-to-End automation
  - Administrators can automatically configure the System
  Automation components required for operating with the Service
  Management Unite graphical user interface and for managing
  cross-sysplex resource dependencies.
  - System Automation's Configuration Assistant is enhanced to
  configure the End-to-End Adapter and the End-to-End Agent.
  
  3. INGWHY supports analyzing Resource References
  Operators can now also analyze situations why Resource
  References (REF) are not in their desired state and receive
  possible reasons with corresponding actions presented by INGWHY.
  
  4. Service Management Unite enhancements
  - Using Service Management Unite, operators can isolate problems
  with their automation resources on a new dashboardusing INGWHY
  but experiercing the same look and feel as they see on any
  other dashboard on this user interface.
  - Service Management Unite allows to create filtered lists of
  resources by name and type on custom dashboards.
  
  5. Other smaller enhancements
  - System Automation reports gateway sessions to other systems as
  UNKNOWN when detecting NetView or system shutdownsinstead of
  alerting operators with a communication lost (COMMLOST) status.
  - Suspend requests can be removed automatically at IPL.
  - REF resources can now be suspended directly using the INGSUSPD
  command.
  - REF resources are accepted for overriding schedules from
  Service Management Unite.
  - E2E adapter command "INGE2E VERIFY"  supports the E2E agent.
  Additional checking of parameter  eif-send-to-agent-hostname and
  eif-send-to-agent-port
  - E2E automation supports validation of the connection to an
  automation domain via PF4 in INGINFO for resources of type DMN.
  - Significant performance improvement in ProcOps command ISQIPSW
