PDS Monitor provides facilities to:
- Report on member usage by displaying the names of all job/tso/stc tasks that access/update a PDS member, the date and time of access/update, and the total number of times the member was accessed/updated.
- Help identify whether a software product is being used, and how often it is used.
- Identify the name of the library that a module was executed/accessed from.
- List all duplicate named members and whether they are accessed or not.
- Clean up libraries by generating IEHPROGM scratch statements for those PDS members that have not been accessed in “X” number of days.
- Improve I/O performance by reorganizing the members of a PDS so that the most actively accessed members are adjacent to one another.
- Discover if identically named CSECTs within different PDS load module members are actually the same.
- Determine the order of concatenated PDS libraries to improve a job’s throughput.
