Challenge

The PDS(E) Audit and Housekeeping Challenge

Unused programs clutter your PDS(E)s impacting system performance and wasting space and CPU resource. Many organizations lack the ability to answer basic PDS(E) housekeeping questions. Are software products and in-house programs being used?  If so, how often and by whom?  Are all jobs using the latest version of a program? Are source and load libraries filled with unused members leading to wasted DASD space and slower member access response times? The organization needs answers to these questions.

Identify Inactive PDS(E) Members

Help identify unused or highly underutilized software products and in-house programs

Audit PDS(E) Member Access and Updates

Reorganize PDS(E)s For Improved Performance

Clean Up JCL, Source, Proc and Load Libraries

Improve Job Performance

Solution

PDS Monitor – Comprehensive Solution for PDS(E) Member Activity Analysis

Inactive PDS(E) members consume valuable resource and impact performance. Identifying inactive PDS(E) members across both source and load libraries is a necessary task if the organization is going to make efficient use of its resources.

PDS Monitor is the only product that can report on PDS(E) member access, for both source and load libraries.

PDS Monitor intercepts all LINK, LOAD, XCTL, ATTACH, BLDL, STOW & OPEN references to PDS(E) members to provide for tracking of all or selected PDS(E) libraries.

Whereas SMF data captures just those programs executed via JCL, PDS Monitor can trap modules invoked internally by other programs including LPALIB members.
