z/OS Enhancement Software - Operations & Applications

ZIP/390 is an enterprise zip and Multi-Platform Integration utility for simplifying the efficient and secure trafficking of data across divergent platforms and competency levels within the enterprise and beyond. Employing the ZIP standard, ZIP/390 reduces the logistics, time and cost of exchanging files between all major computing platforms and other Zip utilities (currently deployed on servers, desktops, mobile devices, and the cloud). Banking level encryption helps address security compliance by providing strong data level protection, while in transit and at rest.


SoftDATE - Date-dependent processing is universal across a wide variety of applications in all industry segments and is as important as ever in the on-demand, SOA world. Today, many z/OS mainframe applications serve Business Process Management across multiple platforms using de facto standards such as DB2 Stored Procedures, SQL, Java and XML. This BPM integration requires exact date and time consistency to ensure results are reliable for rapidly expanding user communities, reducing risk to the minimum. Softdate is the most technologically advanced product in the market, providing unique and exclusive features simply unavailable elsewhere. For example, Parallel Sysplex support, CICS MRO (Multi Region Operation) support, z/OS 64-bit support for data above the 2-gig bar, Java language support for all execution environments (e.g. batch, CICS, IMS, WebSphere Application Server).

InterSession is a modern 3270 session manager for mainframes that gives all users secure, fast and convenient access to their applications. After logging on the user is presented with a menu of authorized applications and also gives the users Single Sign-On access. InterSession supports all current IBM mainframe operating systems (z/OS, VSE and VM), and all VTAM application host systems (i.e. CICS, TSO, IMS,...). The TN3270 support supports all current IBM TCP/IP stacks and TCPaccess from CA. InterSession comes with migration tools to help you migrate from old session managers such as Net/Master and TPX.

And you have the InterSession Web Gateway so you can say "goodbye" to TN3270 emulators meaning no installation or support outside the mainframe!

P-TRACKER - Collects usage information on all program and subprogram calls under z/OS. It covers all environments: batch, IMS/DC, CICS and other sub-systems. Using P-Tracker, one can focus in on usage of modules, datasets, applications and products/licenses and for inhouse applications determine the chained calls at sub-program level. One can quickly and easily identify applications and products that are unused, under-used, duplicated or scattered. Automatically records every program/task invocation on the system, including sub-system level when required.


(E)JES is a systems management tool that provides all the information you need to monitor, manage and control your z/OS JESplex—whether you are running JES2 or JES3. (E)JES panels provide up-to-date information on jobs, printers, queues, and resources in a z/OS JESplex. You can enter (E)JES commands directly from these panels to manage job processes and the operation of system resources.


EOS (IBM End of Service/Support) products revitalized and available with full maintenance:


JES3plus is a licensed, derivative work based on IBM®’s z/OS® JES3 V2R4 source code. Created with customers in mind, JES3plus provides existing JES3 customers a common-sense alternative to a costly and potentially risky JES2 conversion. Customer implementation involves a trivial migration to a fully supported product, with a road map for enhancements, no planned end of life, and no additional licensing costs.


Log-On APL2 - the continued marketing and support of IBM's APL2 through Log-On APL2.


Log-On ASF - the continued marketing and support of IBM's ASF (Application Support Facility) though Log-On ASF.


Log-On NVFTP - the continued marketing and support of IBM's NetView FTP for MVS through Log-On NVFTP.


Log-On WAVE - the continued marketing and support of IBM's Wave for z/VM® through Log-On Wave for z/VM®.
