JCL Management

plusPack is a suite of high-performance tools that provide an integrated platform for complete JCL management. It includes a JCL syntax checker and standards enforcement utility, comprehensive JCL documentation utilities and the ability to check JCL on remote machines.

JCLplus
JCLplus integrates high-speed JCL syntax checking, standards enforcement, JCL reformatting, intelligent updates, and maintenance utilities.

JCLplus Remote JCLplus Remote allows customers to syntax check JCL from a local MVS image on a remote MVS image without leaving the local image. This feature implements a client/server architecture that allows JCL to be transmitted to a remote machine, syntax checked, and the results returned to the local machine.

XREFplusDBr XREFplusDBr introduces a relational JCL database feature that allows you to run comprehensive cross-referencing reports without accessing production libraries. XREFplusDBr creates a DB2 database that is queried by the XREFplusDBr ISPF interface. Features include incremental updates, customizable interfaces, and easy integration with other data.

XREFplus
XREFplus provides an installation-wide view of how JCL and PROC libraries are using datasets, programs, PROC’s, and catalogs as well as DASD and tape volumes.

Mainframe Security Software Solutions for RACF
The SEA RAC/PACK is a family of mainframe software products designed to help manage security for RACF) more efficiently; thereby enabling the security professionals to work more productively. RAC/PACK is comprised of three separate products. RA/2 for Administration Auditing and Reporting; RA/7 for reporting on security violations, and RA/8 for automating the process of handling RAC/8 connects profiles.

RA/2
RA/2 is an administrative, reporting and auditing facility for the RACF security system. A data center can expand their proficiency by utilizing RA/2 to make complex and comprehensive inquiries, from one easy to use product. RA/2 is a vital component in a RACF environment. RA/2 mainframe security software operates in both online and batch modes to perform comprehensive cross referencing for reporting, auditing and administrative tasks. RA/2 can also be used for making mass changes/additions to the RACF database, and RA/2 uses only standard RACF commands and facilities.

RA/7
RA/7 is the new OS/390 Security Server Report Writer for event reporting for RACF. It is a full replacement of the IBM RACFRW. An installation can use RA/7 to report on active SMF files or off loaded SMF files. SMF data is usually very voluminous and it may be reduced by simply using the RA/7 unique selection criteria, to extract only the SMF information of interest to a specific user or site. It is structured to provide the user with multi-level information for summary and detailed reports with a wide selection of filters available on all fields. RA/7 provides a single detailed report for each event code and its associated statistics. This allows users to have vital information always at their finger tips.

RA/8
RA/8 mainframe security software automates the labor intensive process to manage connect profiles for RACF. RA/8 manages profile relationships for RACF between user(s) and functional groups by using standard RACF resources. All information required by RA/8 is stored in the RACF database to ensure full data integrity.

Output Management
The $AVRS and TRMS products provide a complete mainframe software solution for the automation of accumulation, archival, viewing and printing of System and Application Output. $AVRS and TRMS will help save data centers on the costs associated with printing and distributing reports and system output by allowing users to view this data online. For output that still needs to be printed both products have print facilities to allow users to print those specific files or reports, or even the specific portions of that output, that needs to be printed.

TRMS
TRMS NET/WEB is the complete Enterprise Report Management system for OS390 and VSE/ESA platforms providing comprehensive features to meet the demands of today’s Information Technology Centers.

$AVRS
$AVRS completely automates the Accumulation, Viewing, Archival and Retrieval of JCL, SYSOUT, SYSLOG, JOBLOG and other critical JES output. $AVRS will save an installation up to 90% of the human and machine resources presently allocated for these tasks.

Console Automation
ODDS
ODDS/zOS, the Operator Dynamic Dialog Subsystem, is the complete data center automated operations management subsystem for the IBM z/OS platform. ODDS provides unattended console operations capabilities to maximize system availability, reduce errors and increase productivity.

Tape Storage Solutions
SEA is one of the world's leading mainframe software companies and makes available the ZELA and ZELDA programs for automated management of magnetic Tape Volumes and related Tape media resources within an IBM or IBM compatible mainframe complex.
