SMS/Debug and Audit: SMS/Debug and Audit adds a new auditing function to the current product that allows storage administrators to ensure that their SMS environment is reliable, accurate, and stable. In addition to the unique ACS routine tracing and test-case generation/execution facilities already present in SMS/Debug, SMS/Debug and Audit can compare source configurations to one another, or to the ACTIVE configuration, highlighting the differences and then providing an audit trail that makes identifying updates to the configuration simple.

JCL-QA: Significant changes have been made to the JCL-QA product that are aimed at providing simple, cost-effective JCL checking and validation for users dissatisfied with their current JCL validation environment. The recent enhancements further add to the affordable JCL management offering, positioning JCL-QA as a viable alternative to expensive, complex competitive JCL solutions.

“Performance and affordability were key goals when we were developing the JCL-QA product,” said Steve Pryor, CTO of DTS Software. “There were clients who could not perform overnight scheduling validation as the jobs ran too long, and there were other clients who could not justify the high costs of the established product offerings. Designed to address both these issues, JCL-QA represents a modern, high-tech and affordable solution to this essential task.” More info at https://dtssoftware.com

Easy/Exit: The latest Easy/Exit product update allows z/OS installations to take advantage of the “hidden” functionality available in z/OS and DFSMShsm without the need for complex, hard-to-maintain assembler language exit routines. With its latest enhancements to the SUBSYS COMMAND environment, installations now have the ability to use DTS Software’s unique and simple Policy Rules language to manage and control z/OS console commands no matter where issued or by whom. The DTS Software Policy Rules language is the key to policy-based enforcement of standards across the system, now including standards for z/OS console commands. More info at https://dtssoftware.com
