Enterprise Batch and DevOps Tools

Batch management solutions and DevOps tools automate your entire IBM Z batch-testing workflow and help to prevent costly batch production failures while enforcing site business rules and standards.

 

SEA’s plus+Pack orchestration solution covers all aspects of batch management to achieve a higher level of automation, agility, and overall quality of your deliverables.

 

Our batch framework provides JCL validation and run-time simulation, along with automating site standards enforcement and changes to JCL.

 

plus+Pack components also collect and relate metadata from batch jobs and other sources to identify which components will be affected by a change and to fully document the entire batch environment.

JCL Validation and Run-Time Simulation

JCLplus+ provides JCL validation and run-time simulation, coupled with broad JCL automation and editing capabilities geared to massive changes and reformatting. JCLplus+ uses REXX, the de-facto scripting language for system automation, and an easy-to-use proprietary procedural language for JCL formatting, standards enforcement, JCL refurbishing, optimization, reporting, and metrics.

Features:

JCL syntax verification detects incorrectly specified JCL, missing or invalid keywords or parameters, incompatible DCB characteristics and other errors. Site-specific standards can be enforced in the coding of JCL. Flexible change and refurbishment function saves time and resources, and provides for enterprise-wide JCL changes.

Batch Asset Management and Documentation

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. This collected database is available via GUI or Web interface for cross reference analysis, querying and reporting.

Features:

Data can be efficiently collected and analyzed from several different sources, including scheduling components such as Control-M and TWS, JCL data, SMF data, and DB2 Catalog data. “Drill down” capabilities and database queries allow you to retrieve and export collected data in many different output formats.

Multi-System JCL Testing

JCLplus+ Remote simplifies managing JCL in complex environments, allowing secure JCL testing on multi-z/OS images.

Features:

JCLplus+ Remote integrates easily with JCL and PROC change management procedures, provides for secure operations, and supports multiple protocols for inter-component communications.

CI/CD Batch Testing

JCLplus+ DevOps ToolChain Pack integrates JCLplus+ testing services with your enterprise testing framework. It does this by using powerful APIs for Eclipse and VSCode IDEs, RESTful APIs, CLI clients for scripting languages, HTML dashboards and an approach to make testing rules workflows using JCLplus-as-code.

Features:

JCLplus+ DevOps ToolChain Pack simplifies cross-system JCL testing and run-time simulation through JCLplus+ Remote. It also provides adaptable configurations for testing & validating batch jobs in many different JOBS/PROCS/Control-Cards scenarios.

Java Batch Testing

JSLplus+ plugin enhances the validation and run-time simulation of Java batch processes that adhere to the JSR-352 standards. JSLplus+ ensures an efficient integration of Java Batch quality controls to existing batch lifecycle processes, minimizing costly production defects and improving the overall production efficiency.

Features:

JSLplus+ is a Java Eclipse-based IDE plugin that’s compatible with any Eclipse-based Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It validates Job XML files, identifies any JSL-specific errors, validates JSL semantics & artifact references and more.
