The easy-to-use tools for examining mainframe storage data include the following:
Use the GUI to display more than 10 customizable views of CA 1 data. It runs on any Windows desktop system and does not require advanced hardware. Simply select an object from the CA GMI Object Tree to view information.
Use the automatic scheduling facilities in CA GMI to define a schedule for updating both regular and web reports. For regular reports, you can create email distribution plans based on schedules defined by your system administrator. You can attach the report in a variety of different formats, including PDF, XML, and HTML. For web reporting, you can schedule automatic updates of your web pages, enabling you to keep users continuously informed of status information.
Use common services like the JCL Generator and Submission Service to generate and submit JCL. The JCL is generated using the data contained in the table display. Simply drag and drop the table data into a JCL window to replace the variables with data from the object window resulting in tailored JCL.
Use wizards and point and click commands to quickly analyze your tape information. Zoom from object to object to drill down into details and quickly view exactly the information you want. Save your customized views for future generations of the same kinds of information.
Export and view storage information for use with any Windows desktop application, making it easy to create your own analysis of tape data.
Generate online or printed 3-D graphics to show tape statistics at-a-glance, such as vault inventory at any location. Create compelling presentations, pictorially depicting tape issues for management reports.
Use wizards and point and click tools to instantly build customized and on-demand tape management reports, such as volumes under EDM control, 3590 candidates, tapes off-site greater than 30 days, and summaries such as DSN Group, and tape robot ID.
Perform actions against CA 1 volumes such as changing the expiration date, updating the movement schedule, and changing the scratch status.
Use wizards to automatically generate HTML reports for posting to the Web. These can enhance your intranet while increasing the productivity of your storage IT staff by allowing others to directly receive information affecting their tape data.
The variables that are available for substitution within JCL have names that begin and end with %%. To display a list of these variables, click the Show Variables button on the JCL window.
You can run the JCL immediately or schedule it to run at a later time.
