  2. XINFO XINFO 3.3 is available since April 2008. Besides many internal improvements it will have following new functions: • PC Client • Admin - Installation • TWS Scanner • CA7 Scanner • JCL Scanner • Source and Load Module Scanner • DB2 Scanner • SMF Scanner • Miscellaneous • What’s coming next

  3. PC Client The new PC Client (Build 181) will be shipped with XINFO 3.3. Please note that the functions described below are also available with older XINFO server programs, as long as actual fixes are used. • Ready for Vista • Ready for Linux • “Firewall friendly” IP Communication • BIF - New statements to generate “complex” reports • SQL - New dialog allows to specify any kind of SQL

  7. PC Client – New BIF Statements New BIF statements like ARRANGE, IF, SCAN and GOTO are available now. This allows you to create complex reports and documents

  8. PC Client – Complex Reports This HTML document was created by the PC client using the new BIF statements. It includes related data from several tables and various graphics.

  9. PC Client – Free SQL Every kind of SQL can be used now. The needed “display” is generated dynamically by the server program. Please note that this feature is also available in BIF

  10. XINFO Administration / Installation • Administration • Export/Import of Display Definitions • Installation • Dialog controlled installation • Easy install of new scanners • „Firewall friendly“ TCP/IP communication • Incremental update • SMF: Improved Update Procedure • Source: New examples, better performance, easier to use

  11. TWSz 8.3 – New Columns: Operation Scheduling Env., WLM, System Automation

  12. TWSz 8.3 - New Columns: Run Cycle Repeat Every Until…

  13. TWSz 8.3 - New Columns: Resources On Completion, usage,…

  14. TWSz 8.3 - New Columns: Application Smoothing + Feedback Limit

  15. TWSz – New Display: „SR-Usage“ This Display joins Job Runtimes with Operation/Special Resource Definitions and helps to answer ”when was a special resourced used“

  16. TWSz – New Display: „SR-Usage“ Special Resource Start- / End- Time, Duration, Status etc. Jobname

  17. CA7 - New Displays New Netplan Displays “Job Netplan” - includes everything “Trigger + Req” - no negative dependencies “Trigger only” - only triggers

  18. CA7 Version 11 - New Columns New columns in “Schedule Definitions”

  19. CA7 Version 11 - New Columns New columns in “Job/Program”

  20. JCL – New Table: HFS/PATH //STDIN DD PATH='/ADCD/TWS/TWS830/bin/config', // PATHOPTS=(ORDONLY) DD PATH Parameter

  21. JCL Scanner – New Parameter New Parameters for the JCL Scanner: • DSN-WRITE=my.dsn.for sysin.data • Specify files with JCL - SYSIN contents by DsN (up to now only DD was possible) • DB2-CUCTRL und DB2-CUTSOCMD • Recognition of customer specific DB2 calls (Program- and Planname): //DB2STEP1 EXEC PGM=DB2CALL1, // PARM='SUBSYS=DB21,PGM=DB2PGM1,PLAN=PLAN1‘ // //DB2S2 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT1B,DYNAMNBR=20, // PARM='%DB2BATCHDB2A,DB2PGMAA,DB2PLANA,PARAMETERS' • See XINFO 3.3 z/OS Scanner Programs Guide

  22. Source and Load Module Scanner • COBOL • New Tabelle „COBOL- Comments“ • PL1 • New column “Parameter” of the called sub programs • Support of enterprise PL1 V3R4 • Natural • Columns “Viewname” and “DBD-Name” in full length • Load Moduls • AMODE and RMODE for each CSECT • “Translator” for Compiler/Linker labels: E.g. in Modul “566895807”, in XINFO “MVS COBOL”

  23. COBOL - New Table Comments New table showing comments

  28. SMF Disposition - Example Jobs Files Usage

  29. SMF DASD - Example List all jobs that used tapes… …between 07:00 and 08:00

  30. SMF DASD - Example …here are the jobs that used tapes

  31. Miscellaneous • CA-7 • Support for CA-7 Release 11 (New fields) • CA-Deliver • Support for Release 11 • CICS • CSD Scanner supports TS 3.1 • Control-D • Support for Version 6.2 • DB2 • Scanner writes default values to a column (SYSCOLUMNS) • Support of DB2 V9 • Merge program XXRID24 needs less memory (e.g. 90MB instead of 250MB)Fix is also available for 3.x • IMS • PSB Scanner writes new column “GSAM PCB (Y(N)”

  32. Miscellaneous • JCL: Column width has been changed • Account (from 20 to 40) • USER (from 7 to 8) • Variable value (50 to 102) • Load modul scanner: Compatibel to PM4 format • up to now only PM1 support • fix is also available for 3.x • PL1: Support for Enterprise PL1 V3R4 • Fix is also available for 3.x • SMF: Optimized incremental update • UC4 • Many new functions, Version Global 06 is supported • ZEKE: Compatibel to 5.4 • Fix is also available for 2.x and 3.x • Space (z/OS) • New column “Change Indicator” shows files that are modified since last backup

  33. XINFO x.x – What’s coming next Following functions and features are still on our “to do” list and will be developed sooner or later: • CA-Disk (SAMS) Scanner • Java Scanner • Easier installation, especially for additional scanners • Requires significant changes in internal structures, e.g. TGN Parm • XINFO DS • Improved Inventory Scanner • Improved Process Scanner

  34. XINFO x.x - Postponed Following functions and features are postponed. That means that we have stopped (or at least postponed) further development activities. • File Transfer Scanner • Too many different solutions are on the market (Connect Direct, Universal Command, FTP etc.) • RACF Implementation • IBM offers many standard programs. New XINFO Administrator Manual has a section that explains how to integrate these standard programs • Security concerns • XINFO DS Script Scanner • No real need (means customer do not ask for it) • A 100% solution like JUPIPO is not possible • The DS File Contents is a good alternative, comparable to PO Scanner.
