Rational Asset Analyzer for z/OS is quite excellent: http://www.ibm.com/software/rational/products/raa/systemz/
I think you were asking about more than just JCL inspection. RAA does that but also much more. There's a trial of RAA available so you can take it for a spin. Just click on the "Trial" link from the above Web page. If you're in a particular hurry, take a look at the step-by-step illustrated RAA trial guide here (watch the wrap): http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/dw/rational/emz/Using_Rational_Asset_Analyzer_to_Inventory_and_Analyze_your_zOS_applications.pdf Somewhat relatedly (but just beyond your specific question) there are tools that can inspect and inventory your software products, release levels, etc. Tivoli Asset Discovery for z/OS is an excellent example: http://www.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/asset-discovery-zos/ Also somewhat relatedly if your major concern is application deployment -- and making sure all the pieces, parts, and configurations are correct and complete every time -- then you might consider a tool that's directly focused on deployment. As an example, for CICS that list would include CICS Configuration Manager, CICS Deployment Assistant, and/or CICS Explorer. The last one is available to all CICS Transaction Server customers at no additional charge. Do note that every z/OS customer receives the base IBM Software Configuration and Library Manager (SCLM) as part of z/OS at no additional charge. More information here: http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/sclmsuite/sclm/ There are some optional add-ons to base SCLM if desired. Hope that helps. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples Resident Enterprise Architect (Based in Singapore) E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
