Packages without DIS acknowledgement

Summary: List all packages distributed to production, but for which some handshaking data seems to be missing.

After a package is fully approved, CMN/ZMF will automatically take care of getting it activated in production (optionally taking into account all sorts of extra requirements, e.g. related to the requested package install date/time).

Most of this (great) magic happens behind the scenes, but occasionally some of this magic fails because of some typical zOS issues showing up (not really related to CMN/ZMF itself). In those cases some manual intervention is needed to instruct CMN/ZMF about how to restart (continue) the magic.

There are some challenges though for such restart-request: if it's not done correctly, CMN/ZMF will not have a chance to correctly register some of the handshaking data. E.g.: when exactly did CMN/ZMF receive an acknowledgement from a remote site that shipping the package to some remote site worked fine (something that's registered in CMN/ZMF via the commonly known CMN15-jobs).

This report will flag all packages for which some of the data related to distribution to a remote site is missing, which indicates that there might have been (or still is?) some problem to install such package in a remote site.

Note: by using INS DATE (instead of DIS DATE) to select such packages, you get a similar list for packages related to an acknowledgement from a remote site that installing the package to some remote site worked fine (something that's registered in CMN/ZMF via the commonly known CMN25-jobs).
