What is XINFO?A complete cross referencing tool for reporting and to analyze A complete cross referencing tool for reporting and to analyze data from a wide variety of systems of the datacenter:data from a wide variety of systems of the datacenter:

XINFO

Assembler, C, Cobol, PL/I,

Java, …

JCL, Script, CICS, DB2,

IMS, SMF, … Automic, CA7, Control-M

TWS, Zeke, …

HORIZONT 7 XINFO®

XINFO Scanner• XINFO Scanner collect data from:

- Programs:

• Assembler, C, Cobol, Easytrieve, Java, Natural, PL/I source

• Load modules

- JCL, CICS, DB2, IMS, SMF, Space management and File systems, text data from PDS and Unix/Windows scripts, SAP, …

- Scheduling systems:

• Automic (UC4), CA-7, CA-Scheduler, Cron, Control-M, Streamworks, TWSd, TWSz, Zeke

- Output systems: Beta93, CA-Deliver, Control-D

• XINFO is modular: Choose your set of Scanner

• XINFO is open: It’s easy to add your own data

HORIZONT 9 XINFO®

XINFO ScannerHigh quality scanner give perfect resultsHigh quality scanner give perfect results

• The Scanners are not just copying data, but interpret it and discover the details e.g.

- The Cobol Scanner recognize dynamic calls, CICS, IMS, SQL and even customer specific load/call programs

- The JCL Scanner dynamically allocates and read procedures, includes and SYSIN member, identifies DB2 and IMS program calls, resolve procedure and scheduler variables, get DSN from IDCAMS, take used DB2 tables/tablespaces from DB2 load/unload utilities etc.

- The Scheduler Scanners are written to know the logic of the scheduling systems they interpret (e.g. how to build the dependencies and create the appropriate flowcharts)

• They are very fast and able to scan huge amount of objects every day

• Nevertheless you can use incremental update methods to save elapsed time and CPU usage

XINFO Database and DialogThe results are loaded in DB2 z/OS, Oracle or MS SQL.The results are loaded in DB2 z/OS, Oracle or MS SQL.Visualize the data by easy to install and easy to use dialogs:Visualize the data by easy to install and easy to use dialogs:

• Windows PC Client (xinfo.exe, just put it in a Windows folder)

- The queries are grouped by scanner results and the user can choose a query (e.g. Cobol-Copy, JCL-EXEC-Statements, TWS-Jobnetplan etc.)

- Enter search criteria in selection forms or free SQL

- Results are displayed in tables, flowcharts, bar charts or diagrams

- Right mouse click opens a menu to get additional data about the object (e.g. last runtimes of a job, browse the source code etc.)

- Additional useful functions like sort, group data, calculate statistics (e.g. average runtime) assist to analyze the results.

- Batch execution is possible to execute queries and create html output

• All queries but no graphics can be done by the ISPF Dialog, the eclipse plugin or pure SQL (e.g. SPUFI)

HORIZONT 11 XINFO®

What Purpose has XINFO?

• XINFO helps in projects like

- merge, consolidate or separate datacenters

- maintain or reshape legacy applications

- cleanup production environments

- convert scheduling systems and more …

• XINFO quickly and accurately helps gathering information like

- where is a program or dataset used

- when and how did a (critical) job run, was it late?

- who is using/updating which DB2 table

- Etc. …
