XINFO - The IT Information System |
Some examples how XINFO was used in several projects
XINFO is an information system for batch production. It enables you to access and cross-reference all data from various IT systems.
XINFO analyses JCL, SMF, DB2, IMS, CICS, BAGJAS, TWS (OPC), CA7, CA-Scheduler, UC4, ZEKE, Control-M, Control-D, CA-Deliver, COBOL, PL/1, CA-1, RMM, UNIX and Windows filesystems, inventory, SAP and much more
XINFO provides a common window to all your subsystems
XINFO is an open system for all kinds of data
XINFO requires neither programming nor SQL knowledge
XINFO has complete ISPF dialogs and Windows GUIs
XINFO delivers both graphical and text-based data
XINFO prints various graphics on any printer and plotter

XINFO enables your users to find the right answers to questions that can't be answered at all:
Which jobs use the file A.B.C?
Which DB2 tables are used by which jobs?
Which PSBs are used by which jobs?
Which main programs call subprogram ABC?
Which COBOL programs are using copy member ABC?
Which datasets are updated by program ABC?
Which jobs were active last Monday at 3:30?
When was a file used by which jobs?
Which jobs have waits?
Which successors does a job have?
Which jobs use program PGM1?
Which software is installed on server ABC?
Which hardware is used?
When was service ABC active?
and much more
XINFO is an information system for anybody who needs production-related information:
Production planning and control
Application programmers
System programmers
Project groups (mergers, migrations, implementations)
Non-IT departments
The XINFO client makes it possible for you to access JCL, SMF and Scheduler data
from the PC and to display it graphically.
Simple access to XINFO from any PC
User needs no TSO session
Multiple windowing, printing, zooming
Windows 95, 98, NT or OS/2
TCP/IP or APPC client/server architecture
Easy to use, there are only three steps to obtain the result (see below)

Beside having the advantages of Windows vs. ISPF, the XINFO client enables you
to create graphics based on
TWS, CA7, ZEKE, BAGJAS, APM, Jobtrac, Control-M, SMF and JCL.
Job, data and program flowcharts
Job and program runtimes
Trend analysis
and much more

Use WebViewer to view graphics created by XINFO
The XINFO ISPF dialog enables you to enter selection criteria in predefined panels and display the results in
tables.
For most IT personnel, the advantages are obvious:
No need for any user-specific configuration
Minimal training for users
Low total costs of ownership
Complete integration of all ISPF tools (Listcat, Browse, etc.)
Easy to use, there are only three steps to obtain the result (see below)
