IBM File Manager V3.1 has been enhanced to include:
For ordering, contact: Your IBM representative, an IBM Business Partner, or IBM Americas Call Centers at 800-IBM-CALL (Reference: LE001). OverviewIBM Fault Analyzer for z/OS™ and OS/390® and IBM File Manager for z/OS and OS/390 provide application developers with powerful tools to help improve productivity and effectiveness during development and test of new and existing applications and managing abends in their applications. IBM Fault Analyzer assists the developer in quickly analyzing and fixing application and system failures. It offers the programmer the information required to help determine the cause of failure while further providing assistance in how to resolve the problem. Fault Analyzer V3.1 provides enhancements in both reporting content and usability, making it an even more productive tool than before. IBM File Manager helps the developer to quickly and easily create, edit, print, and (re)format data files in the most popular z/OS and OS/390 file formats. It enables your programmers to manipulate data using COBOL and PL/I record layouts in batch and an online facility. V3.1 provides a number of new features to further help application developers manipulate data in QSAM, VSAM, and partitioned data sets. V3.1 also provides a number of new features to further help DB2® application developers to manipulate data in DB2 tables. Key PrerequisitesOne of the following:
Depending on the function used with IBM Fault Analyzer and IBM File Manager, certain levels of other programs may be required. Refer to the Software Requirements section for details.
DescriptionIBM Fault Analyzer V3.1Support without Language Environment in the LINKLIST
Improved Compiler Listing and Side-file Matching and Selection
Suppressed COBOL Copybook Support
Dynamic ISPF Panel History File Display Columns
Improved ISPF Interface Point-and-Shoot
Improved Open Files Record Display
Improved CICS Transaction Dump Support
Improved CICS System Dump Support
IBM File Manager V3.1 Base EnhancementsImproved Performance of Template-Based Record Selection: This performance enhancement lets users access the power of File Manager record identification and record selection criteria in templates without the overhead of invoking REXX to process the criteria expressions. Most record identification and record selection criteria are simple expressions — typically comparisons between data from the record and a constant, or data from another part of the record — joined by Boolean operators (& and |). File Manager V3.1 processes these typical expressions without invoking REXX. If an expression cannot be processed internally, a message is issued and the expression is processed using REXX. Templates created by File Manager Version 2 are automatically "upgraded" when they are loaded to allow internal processing, if possible. Template-Based Data Set Compare Utility: The Data Set Compare utility supports comparison of QSAM and VSAM data sets and members of partitioned data sets. By using templates to describe the record structures of the data sets being compared, the comparison and reporting can be restricted to selected fields. The utility also supports meaningful comparison of differing data types, such as comparing numeric data in a binary field with numeric data in a packed decimal field. The utility provides a choice of synchronization methods including one-to-one, keyed, and read-ahead. Support for Copybooks Held in Other Libraries: File Manager V3.1 supports creating templates from COBOL and PL/I copybooks stored in Panvalet libraries, in addition to copybooks stored in PDSs and PDSEs. As with copybooks stored in PDSs and PDSEs, if the user does not know the full member name of the copybook, File Manager displays a list of members in the specified library. The user can then select the required member from the selection list. The user can also browse members in the member selection list. Copybooks stored in Panvalet are also supported in the DB2 and IMS features of File Manager. Unformatted Record Selection Criteria for Functions Such As Edit and Browse: Unformatted record selection criteria support allows users to select specific records for online processing by functions such as edit, browse, copy, and print without using a copybook to generate a template and then coding the record selection criteria in the template. This support is useful when users want to process a data set for which they don't have a COBOL or PL/I copybook that describes the records in the data set. SORT Primary Command for Edit and Browse: The SORT primary command allows users to sort data in an edit or browse session. Data can be sorted on specified columns in ascending or descending sequence. Up to five pairs of columns can be specified. When data is displayed in TABL or SNGL display format, field reference numbers can be specified instead of pairs of column numbers. In an edit session, sorting can be restricted to excluded or non-excluded records. Sorting can also be restricted to a range of records. Data is sorted according to its hexadecimal representation. For keyed data sets, such as VSAM KSDS, the SORT KEY primary command can be used to sort records into the correct key sequence for the data set. The edit and browse SORT primary command is also supported in the File Manager DB2 feature. Extended Syntax of Find/Change Utility FIND Command: The syntax of the Find/Change utility FIND command has been extended to support multiple search strings. In File Manager V2, users wanting to search a PDS for members containing one or more of several possible strings either had to invoke the Find/Change utility separately for each string, or had to provide a REXX proc that searched the members for the strings. In File Manager V3.1, the extended syntax of the FIND command allows users to search for members containing one or more of several possible strings without invoking the utility multiple times and without coding a REXX proc. For many users, this should result in improved performance of the Find/Change utility. Improved QSAM Data Set Allocation by Online Utilities: When the Data Set Copy utility is run online, if a new "to" QSAM data set needs to be allocated by the utility, the fields on the Data Set Allocation panel can optionally be automatically populated with the attributes of the "from" data set. The user can either use these attributes unchanged, or overtype any of the attributes with new values. In addition, for online utilities that can allocate new QSAM data sets, such as Data Set Copy or Data Create, File Manager can retrieve the attributes of any existing QSAM data set to populate the fields on the Data Set Allocation panel. Load Module Information Utility: The View Load Module Information utility is used to display or print information about the CSECTs and other symbols (such as entry points and COMMON sections) in a load module. The utility can also be used in batch to print load module information. Support for Innovation Access Method (IAM) Data Sets: IAM is a third-party product that can be used as an alternative to VSAM for KSDS or ESDS processing. However, IAM data sets are seen by SMS as non-VSAM data sets. File Manager is able to determine when IAM has been installed on a system, and can then treat IAM data sets as VSAM data sets. The File Manager Catalog Services utility also displays IAM-related information about those data sets that are controlled by IAM. File Manager also supports the allocation of new IAM data sets by utilities such as the Data Set Copy utility. The Display VTOC utility has been enhanced as follows:
Enhanced Support for DBCS Data File Manager has been enhanced to provide the following support for DBCS:
Support for Large DASD Volumes:
File Manager now supports the largest volume supported by Enterprise
Storage Subsystem 3390 Model 9.
File Manager V3.1 DB2 Support EnhancementsExport of Selected Columns Using the Export Utility: The Export utility has been enhanced to allow users to export only selected columns of a table (in File Manager V2 DB2 feature, all columns of the table were always exported). In addition, users can now generate a template that contains only those columns of the table being exported. Improvements to Related Table Editing: During an edit session, if DB2 detects a referential integrity error in the table being edited, the user can edit the related table to correct the error. This related table edit facility has been enhanced as follows:
Improvements to Processing of SQL WHERE Clause in Edit and Browse: When the ISPF editor is invoked to enter an SQL WHERE clause during a File Manager DB2 editor browse session, processing has been changed to:
New System Options to Improve Performance of Edit and Browse New system options have been added to allow:
Various Other Edit and Browse Enhancements
File Manager V3.1 IMS Support EnhancementsIMS Transaction Manager (IMS TM) Environment Support: The IMS support in File Manager will be enhanced so that it can be used in an IMS TM environment as well as in a TSO/ISPF environment. This will allow those installations that do not allow ISPF-based applications to access IMS DB databases to use File Manager IMS to process data in those IMS databases. The IMS TM interface will provide support for current ISPF-based File Manager IMS edit and browse, as well as File Manager IMS template processing. User's will be able to either build templates and views under IMS TM, or they will be able to use templates and views built under ISPF.
This IMS TM Environment support will be available by
December 31, 2002, via PTF.
Value Unit Based PricingValue Unit based pricing will help to align the prices of these products to the principle of the PSLC pricing curve which provides for a lower price per MSU (millions of service units per hour) for larger capacities. There is also a price benefit when customers grow their capacity. Additional capacity will be based on the number of Value Units (MSUs) the customer has already installed, for example, additional capacity will not be priced starting at the base with a higher price per unit but on the capacity that is already installed.
Note that Value Units of a given product cannot be
exchanged/interchanged/aggregated with Value Units of another product.
International Program License Agreement (IPLA) and Subscription and Support ConsiderationsIPLA licenses can be transferred from one machine to another within, but not limited to, an enterprise. The customer may aggregate the capacity for all the processors the product is operated on to achieve a more economic price. This will result in a single Proof of Entitlement. It is the customer's responsibility to manage the distribution of Value Units within the limits of the entitlement of the product license. Subscription and Support must cover the same capacity as the product license entitlement. Subscription and Support will be available in the country in which the agreement is made.
