Hello Lizette, Thanks for the suggestion. We have CA GMI in place. I prefer a REXX-based solution here because it'll be plugged in to solve a bigger puzzle.
Totals, Used, and Free data are obtained from ISMF and fed into a Spreadsheet frequently to capture the growth/decline in usage of disks by storage groups. And then estimate future growth. I'm trying to achieve this via WPS and MXG and save a bunch of manual entry. - Vignesh Mainframe Admin -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: 29 April 2014 14:21 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ISMF data in batch using REXX If you have CA Product(s) like CA 1 CA ASTEX CA CREWS CA Datacom/DB CA Disk CA Encryption Key Manager CA IDMS/DB CA MasterCat CA PDSMAN CA SYSVIEW CA Tape Encryption CA TLMS CA Vtape Then you can install the "lite" version of SRM or Vantage called GMI. This is fully supported by CA. CA Graphical Management Interface (CA GMI). Several CA products support CA GMI. These are referred to as CA GMI qualified products. If you have a license for one of the CA GMI qualifying products, then you can order and install CA Vantage GMI on the host and its user-interface clients separately, free of charge. CA Vantage GMI cannot be ordered separately unless you have a license for one of the CA GMI qualifying products. This may be more helpful to your storage admins than ISMF.
