Overview:
IBM® Data Set Commander for z/OS® is a software product that provides enhanced productivity and automated functionality to z/OS-based data set operations. It delivers interactive and batch capabilities for working with partitioned data sets (PDS), partitioned data sets extended (PDSE) and their members to improve IT productivity.
Data Set Commander has 3 components:
- Batch component: Enhances the IBM IEBCOPY utility
- Monitor component: Augments the Library Lookaside (LLA) functionality
- Interactive component: Enhances Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) functionality
Data Set Commander also exploits z/OS support for PDSE V2 and PDSE member generations.
Features:
Interactive component
The interactive component is an integrated interface to ISPF that adds capabilities to most major ISPF functions. Get enhanced commands, shortcuts, navigational and productivity enhancements and History Lists for managing recently accessed data sets and members.
Batch component
The batch component enhances the IBM IEBCOPY utility, providing capabilities that help system and application programmers manipulate partitioned and sequential data sets. Empty and compress a physical sequential data set, a PDS or a PDSE and delete, rename and add alias names to members.
Monitoring component
The monitor component automatically refreshes the Library Lookaside (LLA) directory entries and Virtual Lookaside Facility (VLF) objects of updated LLA-managed members to minimize I/O activity.
Audit capability
Audit capabilities let you generate System Management Facility (SMF) records automatically when copying PDS to PDS or sequential data sets to PDS. Filter SMF records to select which records to track and which ones not to track.
PDSE member generations capability
Display a member list with all member generations from which users can browse, edit, copy, delete and restore PDSE member generations. A CLONE command facilitates the conversion of PDS to PDSE to take advantage of PDSE automatic space reuse capability.
Benefits:
Improve functionality and flexibility
Manage, monitor and manipulate your PDSs and PDSEs and their members with a broad set of productive tools, both online and batch.
Boost ISPF productivity
Take advantage of functions such as automatic PDS compression and directory expansion, plus search capabilities for volumes, data sets, members and text within members.
Optimize resources
Use automation to do more with less. For example, monitor LLA events and automatically direct the z/OS LLA facility to refresh the LLA directory entries of all updated LLA-managed members.
Specifications:
Installation requirements
IBM z/OS 2.1 or later operating systems is required for the installation and operation of Data Set Commander 9.1.
Installing Data Set Commander does not require an IPL or authorized mode. Since Data Set Commander is invoked through libraries pointed to by the TSO LOGON procedure or CLIST, you can install it on a system-wide basis or only for selected programmers.
