Jim, Perhaps Eric was think of the freebie version of MXI. Perhaps not.
Regardless, the "why" question has validity, for the reasons you noted *and* to gain an understanding as to the driving force behind the question. When someone asks me for advice like this, my first question would also be "why?". Insight into why Gregg is think of replacing it goes a long way into giving a good recommendation. SHOWZOS, TASID, freebie MXI, CA-SYSVIEW, and Mark Z's IPLINFO are some that come to mind. Not completely comparable, but without an understanding of how you use MXI, that's the best I can recommend.

The fact that someone has asked for comparable products is the only question which needs to be answered. Normal reasons for why are cost, non-timely support, more bugs that necessary in the product,and probably many more. We found CA SYSVIEW to be a suitable replacement for MXI. ___________________________________________ Jim Petersen MVS - Lead Systems Engineer Home Depot Technology Center 1300 Park Center Drive, Austin, TX 78753 www.homedepot.com email:[email protected] 512-977-2615 direct 512-977-2930 fax 210-859-9887 cell phone -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric Mendelson Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2011 3:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Rocket Software's MXI Why ------Original Message------ From: Gregg Kimbrough Sender: IBM Mainframe Discussion List To: [email protected] ReplyTo: IBM Mainframe Discussion List Subject: Rocket Software's MXI Sent: Jun 15, 2011 2:21 PM Hi All: anyone know of a comparable replacement to MXI?
