Batch Asset Management and Documentation

Collects and correlates installation batch job metadata into a
DB2 repository database for cross reference analysis

XREFplus+DBr

XREFplus+DBr is a flexible and easy-to-use tool that collects metadata from your installation’s JCL, programs, datasets, and other data sources and correlates that information into a DB2 repository database. The XREFplus+DBr database is available for cross reference analysis via a Web UI.

The DB2 database can be accessed through either TSO/ISPF, Windows, a WEB browser or batch DB2 operations. The database can reside on a host using DB2 for z/OS; or on a PC using DB2 for Unix, Linux or Windows.

Extendable, Customizable Interface

The XREFplus+DBr GUI or WEB interface can be easily extended and customized to incorporate data related to your unique environment. A unique Report Definition tool is also included. Reports can be exported to Excel, PDF, PowerPoint and other desktop product formats.

Data Collection and DB2 Database Load

Data can be efficiently collected from several different sources, including data from scheduling components such as Control-M and TWS, JCL data, SMF data, and DB2 Catalog data. The data collection processes are run asynchronously and can be run in parallel. The open database architecture promotes easy integration of other data with data collected by XREFplus+DBr. Queries can be formulated to retrieve the desired data.

JCL Cross Reference

JCL members can be “drilled down” to capture data at various levels such as JOB card, Step level and DD level. For example, frequency distribution counts can be retrieved indicating the number of jobs running in each job class. Do you have a requirement to know how many JCL streams use a certain PROC, program, or other component? That information can be quickly and easily obtainable.
