This IBM® Redbooks publication introduces the Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) Productivity Tool (IPT) Version 6, Release 1 for z/OS®. IPT operates as a seamlessly integrated front end to ISPF. IPT functionality is available from any panel without a need to modify any ISPF Primary Options Menu. All IPT functions are totally integrated. IPT can perform almost any activity within ISPF, or internally invoke the function that can perform the task. IPT combines separately provided ISPF utility functions and new ISPF Productivity Tool features into the Object List (OLIST) and Member Selection List (MSL). The resulting member, dataset, and object lists become powerful platforms where you can perform many tasks without navigating to other utilities. IPT relates objects to applications in a similar manner to the way that a PC performs Object Linking and Embedding (OLE). By extending the dataset objects that are used by ISPF to other object classes, IPT lets you specify the object to be processed and the action that is performed (such as EDIT or BROWSE). The facility that is appropriate to the object class for the action that you have requested is invoked automatically. IPT provides extensive search capabilities that are both rapid and intuitive. You can easily search for volumes, datasets, members, and text within members. ISPF Productivity Tool also furnishes automatic drill-down system navigation to examine volumes, datasets, and members. IPT provides a menu-driven facility to display and recov

This IBM Redbook introduces the IBM Application Development Tools for z/OS and OS/390. The first chapter provides a high level overview of each of the products, suitable for any person that requires an introduction to these capabilities. The remainder of the book delivers more technical information, including numerous examples of some of the most commonly used functions of each tool and scenarios of how the tools could be used in an everyday customer environment. The specific application development tools for z/OS and OS/390 covered in this book are: IBM File Manager for z/OS and OS/390, Version 4, Release 1 IBM Fault Analyzer for z/OS and OS/390, Version 4, Release 1 IBM Application Monitor for z/OS and OS/390, Version 2, Release 1 IBM Workload Simulator for z/OS and OS/390, Version 1, Release 1 IBM Debug Tool for z/OS and OS/390, Version 4, Release 1

This IBM Redbook describes the IBM Application Development Tools for z/OS and OS/390 and includes scenarios that show how to use the tools to recognize, locate, and fix errors in application programs. Part 1 describes the five program products that make up the suite and product integration : -> IBM Fault Analyzer -> IBM File Manager -> IBM Debug Tool -> IBM Application Monitor -> IBM Workload Simulator. Part 2 walks you through detailed scenarios that demonstrate how the tools can be used in a practical, day-to-day manner. Part 3 contains code samples, reports and listings, and examples that are too large to include in the chapters.

This redbook is intended for management and technical personnel who are responsible for configuration or inventory management of software product development environments. It discusses some of the challenges and problems being faced by many organizations today in software configuration management. The descriptive part presents an overview of SCLM's superior capabilities to properly organize the setup and implementation of a complex software development project. It is outlined in detail how the Boeblingen Programming Laboratory (BPL), which is responsible for various MVS components and the VSE/ESA operating system, uses the System Configuration and Library Management (SCLM) product to streamline the required processes. In the appendices diverse examples are provided to illustrate the approach being used by the BPL. Studying and understanding these samples requires some basic knowledge of VSE or MVS.
