Allows for checking of data before reloading to apply changes. z/OS version scans PDS and sequential files. VSE version scans VSE sublibraries, ICCF libraries, and sequential files.
ISPF/VSAM Utility
ISPF based, menu driven utility which provides online access to the most regularly used VSAM functions: define, delete, inquire, copy, rename, edit, and browse. The edit and browse functions allow easy lookup or update of VSAM and Non-VSAM records. Files may be edited field by field (12 fields per screen) using a COBOL copy member or in full screen character and hex mode. Useful for creating and checking test files. Non-VSAM datasets including those with records larger than 255 bytes can also be edited. Compatible with IAMŽ.
JCLXREF
A documentation generator which uses VSE JCL as input and produces up to 19 cross reference lists to aid in trouble shooting, conversions, maintenance, auditing, etc. It can read JCL from ICCF, CA Librarian, VSE Libraries, or any standard sequential file.
JES Report Broker
JES Report Broker runs as a started task in z/OS. It can be configured with a variety of report selection criteria. When a report becomes available to JES with characteristics that match the configured criteria, JRB obtains the report and delivers it. There are a variety of delivery options including FTP, E-Mail, Web interface and offloading to local datasets. Multiple reports may be delivered simultaneously to different locations.
JES Queue for Printers (JQP)
JQP is a VTAM based application that will print any report from the JES2 output queue to printers defined to VTAM and TCP/IP. VTAM printer types supported are SNA, NON-SNA and SCS. JQP supports TCP/IP printers using the RFC 1179 Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol or if supported by the network printer adapter, direct socket connection. Reports in the JES2 output queue are automatically selected based on their DESTID and printed to the printer defined for that destination. Both machine code and ASA control characters are supported. FCB emulation is supported using the FCB images from the SYS1.IMAGELIB library. Supports halting and restarting reports and more.
JSF-Job and Syslog Facility
Archives SYSLOG, JCL and/or SYSOUT. Scans for abends and condition codes. Saves paper, time, and space while improving quality and reliability. Uses ISPF panels. Easy to use. No more lost JCL or SYSLOG listings or manual checking for abends/errors. Archived data is compressed.
Kwik-Key/Kwik-Load
Loads base cluster and builds multiple alternate indexes at the same time. Reduces CPU time, EXCPs, and elapsed time to reorg VSAM datasets and rebuild AIX.
Listcat Plus
A replacement for the listcat function of IDCAMS. Listcat Plus prints two reports from the VSAM catalog: a Dataset Report and a Volume summary. Datasets requiring attention are flagged based on user specified criteria. Volume of printout is reduced 95% by using Listcat Plus instead of IDCAMS. The z/OS version also prints ICF VSAM and non-VSAM entries in a one-line per-dataset format and produces a summary file formatted for down-loading to a PC spreadsheet
Listcat Plus Adhoc Report Writer
0ptional Listcat Plus companion allows you to select the fields you want printed and specify selection criteria for files to include so you see only the files that need attention.
MainFormIT
Replaces the paper forms your company uses in the every day activities of your business. Used just like paper forms, except you complete them on your computer, merge them with data created by applications running on the z/OS environment, then print them on your printer.
OSXREFS
Consists of four handy crossreference generators:
1) Scans a PROCLIB and builds a cross reference showing all PROCs which contain a DD statement for each dataset name.
2) Scans a PDS and identifies members which contain specific character strings.
3) Lists all the programs in your link libraries and lists all the PROCs that execut
e each program.
4) Lists all PROCs and the programs they execute using any PROCLIB as input.
Power Queue for Printers (PQP)
VTAM based application which will print any report from the VSE/POWER LST queue to network attached printers defined to VTAM. Printer types supported are SNA, NON-SNA and SCS. Reports in the VSE/ POWER LST queue are automatically selected based on their FROM and/or TO destination userid and printed to the printer defined for that destination.
SimpList
A productivity aid for mainframe TSO/ISPF users that provides a simple, centralized workbench instead of moving from one panel or vendor product to another. Multiple object types (e.g. datasets, DB2 tables, VSAM files etc.) can be stored in object lists and selected for a wide variety of functions (browse, edit, print etc.) by simple point-and-click selection. Based on the object type and function, SimpList automatically invokes the appropriate tool, vendor product, or built-in facility to handle the request. Surf the mainframe with SimpList.
Source Program Compare
Compares two versions of a program and prints a listing showing all of the differences.
VTAM Virtual Printer (VVP)
VVP lets you route output created by your online applications to the system spool. It captures the 3270 based datastream sent to the VTAM printer from any VTAM application (CICS, IMS, etc.) and creates a report in the JES queue for z/OS or VSE/POWER queue for VSE. Each report created in the system spool by VVP is assigned a class and optional destination, user, and/or forms id.
VTAM/Switch
Allows users to switch from CICS to TSO, etc. without logging on and off. You may also have multiple sessions in the same VTAM application (ICCF, TSO, IMS, CICS, etc.).
The following additional features are included:
1) data compression,
2) message routing,
3) a broadcast facility,
4) screen printing,
5) spy and session stealing features to assist HELP desk personnel,
6) scripting (automated sign on procedure)
7) automatic logoff of inactive terminals.
Xray
Interactive debugging for batch programs similar to Track. Debug your batch program from a CICS terminal. Transaction Server ready

Smart/RESTART
Smart/RESTART makes it as easy as possible to make both new and existing applications restartable. Without complicated restart logic or cumbersome operational procedures. Often without changes to source code. Smart/RESTART guarantees that updates to DB2, WebMQ, IMS and other RRS compliant resources stay in synch with your program's sequential file and cursor position, working storage and random VSAM updates. This enables your applications to restart from near the point of failure after abends, recompiles, and even system IPLs -- with all resources in a consistent state. Smart/RESTART fully supports SMS compressed and extended format datasets and interoperates with DFSMS Advanced Copy Services like XRC, PPRC and FlashCopy. Smart/RESTART enhances your disaster recovery capability to provide a total batch recovery solution.
Smart/RRSAF
Smart/RRSAF lets you run DB2 batch programs with regular JCL, so they look and behave like standard OS jobs. This ensures accurate SMF job accounting and accurate jobstep completion codes to prevent SNAFUs in DB2 batch production. Smart/RRSAF transparently supports both RRSAF and CAF. Applications can utilize either DB2 attachment without need for user code to manage an explicit DB2 connection. Smart/RRSAF enables your applications to update DB2, MQ, IMS and/or any other RRS compliant resources within a single unit of recovery and implements a variable COMMIT frequency. Moreover, you can migrate from TSO Attach to Smart/RRSAF without source changes. (Note: Smart/RRSAF is the successor product to Smart/CAF.)
Smart/COMMIT
Smart/COMMIT is intended for batch applications originally developed to run in standalone mode without COMMIT logic. Smart/COMMIT lets you define the unit-of-work external to the program -- without the need to change source code or JCL or to recompile or relink the application. The logic which detects the completion of a unit-of-work is located within Smart/COMMIT rather than the application source code. Smart/COMMIT triggers a commit (whose scope includes all RRS compliant resources) when processing reaches a point of consistency you define -- so data integrity is preserved.
The Smart Jobstream Series
The Smart Jobstream Series is an integrated set of products designed to keep your entire workload of production batch jobstreams running smoothly. These products are designed to simplify application development, maintenance and trouble shooting while improving the reliability, performance, manageability and throughput of your background jobstreams. Smart Jobstream components also reduce resource contention and prevent costly SNAFUs in batch.
Smart/QMF Batch Facility
Smart/QMF Batch Facility: The cure for the batch QMF blues
QMF batch failures often go undetected. Since the jobstep appears to end normally, multi-step jobstreams don't work correctly, nor do production control systems such as OPC/ESA and CA-7. Meanwhile, no one realizes that critical QMF production jobs haven't run.
The Smart/QMF Batch Facility (Smart/QBF) reflects SQL and QMF errors at the jobstep level -- so both people and software will know when a failure occurs. This ensures proper execution of downstream jobsteps and allows production control software to work correctly. Later investigation can tell at a glance what went wrong because Smart/QBF writes its diagnostics directly to the JES listing or a message file you define.
Existing QMF queries and procedures run without change because Smart/QBF operates transparently within QMF. Moreover, Smart/QBF makes it easier to develop and maintain QMF batch applications. For example, you can pass parameters to QMF procedures without ISPF file tailoring and specify error handling without a separate REXX exec or TSO CLIST. Instead, you can code everything instream with the JCL.
