  ****************************************************************
  SA z/OS V4.1.0 provides the following enhancements.
  
  Service Management Unite (SMU) Automation V1.1.4
  
  o The installation of SMU is simplified with a prebuilt Docker
    image.
  o "Ask Watson" dashboard is added as an open beta feature to
    provide a cognitive documentation search.
  o To ensure a reliable system with high performance and less
    downtime, you can set up SMU with high availability.
  o With Universal Automation Adapters, SMU Automation can
    automate applications that run on non-z/OS systems.
  o SA operations experience is enhanced:
    o For a stop, start, or suspend request, you can choose the
      new REMOVE=SYSGONE option to automatically remove the
      request when the system where the selected resource runs,
      leaves the sysplex.
    o The resource status of a system is now represented as the
      worst compound status of all top-level resources running on
      that system. This can be combined with a Resource name
      filter or Resource class filter as data set parameter. In
      this case, the worst resource state is derived by the worst
      compound state of all resources on the system that match
      the specified filter criteria.
  o   A Hide operational tasks option is added into the
      automation domain topology and automation node list data
      sets. Choose this option if the context menu of nodes that
      are contained in these data sets should not include any
      operational tasks, such as excluding a node.
  
  
  End-to-end automation
  
  SA z/OS V4.1 extends its cross-sysplex automation capabilities
  to true end-to-end cross platform automation. Resources on
  distributed systems, for instance running on Linux, can be
  managed by the Universal Automation Adapter that is a part of
  Service Management Unite Automation.
  
  
  Processor Operations
  
  Processor Operations is enhanced to support dynamic creation of
  target system names. The new AOF_AAO_ISQ_DYNTGT option is
  introduced to define the dynamic name pattern. The benefit is
  that you can define a backup LPAR for another processor entry,
  without the need to define a corresponding system entry and
  the need for a 'dummy' system name.
  
  
  o Other enhancements
  
    o SDF now supports the status update of the primary focal
      point and the backup focal point in parallel.
  
    o The new DSN parameter is added to the INGPLEX IPL command.
      It allows you to specify a different IPL data set for
      displaying and comparing IPL information. It might be
      useful in case of a disaster recovery when you need IPL
      information of the sysplex that is down.
  
    o The new MAXINT parameter is added to the INGRCHCK
      command to limit the maximum times of resource status check.
      You can use it to avoid infinite resource check, which is
      task blocking.
