Spectrum Protect for Ubuntu Server for IBM Z and LinuxONE

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Since more about 3 years now I'm fighting to get support from IBM for an Enterprise Backup solution (TSM / Spectrum Protect) for Ubuntu Server for IBM Z and LinuxONE.
This already harmed IBMs and Canonical's business, since customers asked already quite often about this backup solution from IBM for Ubuntu on IBM Z.
Just to name a few requests about this that recently came in (and even came in AGAIN) are from:
Deloitte
Storix
SEP
Mainline
Fiducia
This is very crucial since if customers are seriously using this OS on IBM Z, they obviously need a solution for backup and recovery!

I already created this RFE in the past (I think it was in 2018) and saved the URL:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=135493
I'm surprised that this URL is now dead w/o any notice. Hope that not all the idea and requests that were submitted there just got lost and dropped.

Making TSM / Spectrum protect available for Ubuntu Server for IBM Z and LinuxONE does not require too much effort and is largely a matter of testing and clearance, since it is available for Ubuntu on other platforms as well as on other Linuxes for the mainframe - so it's about bringing this together and closing this gap

    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.
