This is now a Rocket Software product. Also there is or was Softworks Catalog Solutions (formerly VSAM Mechanic). I haven't heard much about that one in a while and not sure if it is still around or was sold / renamed. We sure CR+, but I think T-REXX has a good product also. Perhaps you can negotiate a LPAR pricing deal with then. In other words, only pay for the LPAR(s) you run it on based on their size and not the entire box. If they know you are going to replace them, they may be more open to doing so.
