The previous question about MIM Integrity made me think that asking another
question might be possible. We also use MIM Integrity. However, not for its
main function (cross system ENQs). We use GRS on our sysplex for ENQ
propogation. What we actually use is the EDIF functionality. This basically
stops the programmers from doing a LINKEDIT into a source library. They used
to do this with distressing regularity (less now since we use Endevor).
IIRC, the current BINDER no longer allows this, correct?

The other function is ECMF. This is what monitors the "DATASET IN USE" and
if it remains for a while, will $E, $H, $C the job in order to free up the
initiator.

Is there something within z/OS (free) which can replace ECMF and EDIF
functionality? I'm all for saving money.
