PDS and PDSE Management Suite
PDSfast is an ultra-high speed, JCL transparent, and cost-effective PDS management tool, which replaces IBM’s IEBCOPY utility and the ISPF copy facility,
PDSfast can save from 50% to 90% of the time and resources used by IEBCOPY. It can also copy and compress PDSs 10 to 100 times faster than IEBCOPY, resulting in significant time, resource and monetary savings.
Features:
PDSfast’s Auto Facility automates common DASD/data management functions, relieving users from time-consuming, repetitive and error-prone tasks.
FMO usage monitoring facilities track member access for system performance, chargeback access to members, and to maintain an audit trail of member references.
IEBGENER Performance Accelerator Utility
fastGENR is an ultra-high-speed utility that replaces IBM's IEBGENER in z/OS environments.
fastGENR copies sequential data sets and members of partitioned data sets, generally 50% to 90% faster than IEBGENER, saving CPU, SRB, EXCP and elapsed times.
Data sets with unlike DCB characteristics can be copied to one another, with fastGENR performing the data conversion without using exits or special user routines.
Features:
FastGENR’S Multiple I/O facility can copy many input files to a single output file or a single input file to multiple output files.
Useful diagnostic information, expanded printouts, and enhanced copy features improve data reliability and programmer productivity.
VSAM Backup, Restore, and High-Speed Utility Program
fastVSAM is a high-speed, JCL-transparent VSAM Copy Facility with Backup/Restore capability, transparently delivering system-wide improvements for every installation using VSAM
fastVSAM transparently replaces IDCAMS REPRO, EXPORT and IMPORT commands. It reduces the time and resources required for VSAM copy and Export/Import procedures by 50% or more.
Features:
fastVSAM is compatible with SMP, SMP/E, DFDSS, SMS, and RACF. It installs in minutes, requires no JCL changes and supports all VSAM formats.
fastVSAM restores all clusters & components, including key ranges, CI size, and primary/ secondary space allocations.
Storage Management Automation and Reporting System
fdso integrates and extends the power of the other fastPack components to offer a comprehensive, rules-based DASD management and reporting package for all types of data sets in SMS, non-SMS and mixed environments.
Using an extremely flexible control language and a rich set of operators fdso can be used to automate many large, routine jobs, as well as to make small modifications or ad-hoc inquiries.
Features:
Users can easily tailor fdso standard reports or define their reports to meet specific needs including: DASD space management, capacity planning, DR planning and management reporting.
fdso also produces exception reports related to incorrect data set naming, size, placement, utilization, and catalog error checking/diagnosis.
