Problem conclusion
01.Server code is updated to support New licensing api to log the request to smf data sets 02.Server code is updated to introduce a configuration setting that the system administrator can set to limit the number of returned results 03.z/OS Explorer RSE view is enhanced to display aliases containing symbolic names 04.Server code is updated to include specific abend code and message. 05.Server code is updated to introduce a configuration setting that the system administrator can set to limit the number of returned results 06.corrected typo 07.z/OS Explorer server is updated to support FIPS 140-2 mode 08.FEKINIT is modified to have quotes around the parameters so they are not interpreted as arithmetic expressions. 09.Server code is updated to send ABEND information to the client. 10.Server code is updated to to print 14.0 as Daemon version in host logs rseserver.log and rsecomm.log 11.Server code is updated to properly declare resources or close them explicitly so that they can be garbage collected more efficiently.
