ProcMan – The Transfer Process Manager
Moving new or changed program packages from testing environments to the live system is a daily chore. And the challenge does not end with changes made to the programs themselves, but also includes updates to objects relevant for scheduling, such as JCL, scheduler definitions and control schemes.
ProcMan supports a broad range of organizational structures with these tasks, from simple environments, e.g. single-CPU test and live systems through to staging for multiple environments and distributed across various computers for different clients. Given this scope, ProcMan is the ideal tool for a large number of special needs that arise in production-driven environments.
The solution is operated via user-friendly screens, and JCL as well as scheduler definitions are automatically adapted to each environment and archived.
XINFO – The IT Information System
XINFO is an IT information system that handles any data request, from basic lookups all the way to comprehensive and complex queries, and delivers analyses for any data. Better yet, access is made possible from different IT systems. Simple commands are used to display logically connected data.
This makes it easy to rapidly answer critical questions with little effort. XINFO provides a cross-referencing system that empowers managers, application developers and production planners to generate analyses and reports simply and speedily.

SmartJCL – The Easy Way to Faultless JCL
In order for today’s modern businesses to remain competitive, Production systems must be highly available and reliable. Job Control Language (JCL) is an essential part of keeping systems running smoothly. Errors in JCL coding can have detrimental effects on Production and cause unwanted delays.
SmartJCL checks the JCL – ahead of submission – for common errors, and eliminates problems at the source. This dramatically reduces the number of Abends, which, in turn, eliminates time wasted during a tight batch window. The associated expenses of searching for problem sources under a time constraint – often during the middle of the night – are also greatly reduced.
