  1. XINFO The IT - Information System XINFO and CA7 HORIZONT Software for Datacenters Garmischer Str. 8 D- 80339 München Tel ++49(0)89 / 540 162 - 0www.horizont-it.com

  2. XINFO and CA-7 XINFO is an Add-On to CA-7 and offers: • Easy-to-read job netplans to analyze and optimize your jobflow definitions. • Fast search functions. All attributes can be used in queries, e.g. • Which jobs didn’t run for a while • Which jobs have EXEC=N • Control your naming conventions and standards automatically • e.g. check if JCL ID is correct • Allows “non-experts” easy access to CA-7 definitions

  3. XINFO and CA-7 The CA7-Interface reads CA-7 VSAM files and analyzes following data: • Job Definitions • Job Scheduling Parameter • Job and Dataset Triggering • Job Execution Requirements • Job/Step/Program information (CA-7 JCL) • Job/DD/DSN information (CA-7 JCL) • Virtual Resource usage • Workload Documentation, Prose • In addition to that XINFO’s JCL scanner delivers information about Scheduled Overrides (#JI, #JO)

  4. CA-7 Selection Cross reference for CA7-Jobs Cross reference for CA7-JCL Resources Documentation Netplans

  5. Search for jobs by using job attributes Search all jobs with Owner=H* and EXEC=N

  6. Result - Job Information Doubleclick on a line brings up a detailed view including all 59(!) attributes The jobs meeting your selection criteria

  7. Search for jobs by using schedule definitions All parameters can be used as selection criteria

  8. Search for jobs by using trigger parameters Search all jobs that are triggered by datasets named *CA*

  9. Result - Job triggering The jobs meeting your selection criteria

  10. Search for jobs by using pred requirements Search all jobs with pred DSN SYSH.CA7*

  11. Result - Requirements Example:Here you can check if the correct DSN are set to “permanent” The jobs meeting your selection criteria

  12. CA-7 JCL DSN cross reference

  13. Usage of virtual resources

  14. CA-7 job netplan Specify selection criteria

  15. CA-7 job netplan DSN-Trigger Pred.Req. Job DSN created Demand not parallel Trigger USR-Req.

  16. SCHIDs and triggering in CA-7 netplans XINFO CA-7 generates a variant for every job and every schid. See example below and the matching netplan (next slide) : • JOBA runs Monday with 001 and Tuesday with 002 Following triggers are defined: • JOBA SCHID=000 => JOBB • JOBB SCHID=000 => JOBC • JOBA SCHID=002 => JOBD

  17. SCHIDs and triggering in CA-7 netplans The jobchain for SCHID=001 The jobchain for SCHID=002 Grouped by SCHID

  18. SCHIDs and job predecessor requirements Similar to CA-7: All schids are linked

  19. SCHIDs and job predecessor requirements As an alternative XINFO allows to show links only within the same schid – the netplans is easier to read.

  20. CA-7 job netplan - Right mouse The right mouse menu offers useful functions, e.g. “Pred/Succ netplan“ limited by level

  21. CA-7 Pred/Succ netplan Specify desired level

  22. CA-7 Pred/Succ netplan The successors of the job

  23. CA-7 job netplan - Right mouse From here you can access all relevant data, e.g. SMF job runtimes, JCL, output definitions etc.

  24. CA-7 job netplan - Browse JCL Browse JCL

  25. Critical path The job netplan offers various search functions, e.g. ”Critical Path“

  26. Critical path Based on “Clock Time“ XINFO calculates the longest path through the network

  27. XINFO The IT - Information System Many thanks for your attention! HORIZONT Software for Datacenters Garmischer Str. 8 D- 80339 München Tel ++49(0)89 / 540 162 - 0www.horizont-it.com
