STORAGE is one of the
fastest-growing items in most installations' budgets. Yet a large percentage
of this critical resource is often wasted. Inadequate standards enforcement,
poor JCL practices, and system limitations often result in misdirected
data and underutilized resources.
THE STORAGE CONTROL CENTER family of products is
an integrated suite of storage management programs that allows you to
get the most out of your storage dollars. The Storage Control Center products
improve disk space utilization, prevent storage-related errors, allow
installations to monitor the storage subsystem in real time, and proactively
control the use of storage space.
| Application
Backup Center |
The Application Backup Center uses installation defined policies
for automatic application aggregate generation for backup control
in ABARS environments. The product also contains log management
and operational facilities to assist in system recovery.
|
| Allocation
Control Center |
The Allocation Control Center (ACC) is a systems software product
that allows your installation to control DASD and TAPE resources.
The product is also integrated with DFSMS, and provides tracing
facilities for the DFSMS ACS routines.
|
| EASY/Exit |
EASY/Exit allows installations to take advantage of the 'hidden' functionality available in z/OS and DFSMShsm without the need for complex, hard-to-maintain assembler-language exit routines.
The simple IF-THEN-ELSE logic of the Storage Control Center rules language provides an easy-to-use way to implement useful, even critical, system features that would be difficult or impossible for most installations to provide otherwise. Unlike hand-coded exit routines, EASY/Exit rules can be dynamically modified, and come with extensive debugging and error recovery features.

| SCC DLimit |
SCC DLimit tracks disk storage utilization at the application
level, preventing runaway space use and automatically notifying
storage administrators when specified limits are exceeded.
|
| SCC Explorer |
SCC Explorer is a PC-based client that communicates through DIF to work with SCC Monitor, MVS Console and TSO commands, system utilities, as well as third party software products. The application can display information in a variety of formats, reports and graphs. The Explorer can also perform storage management and installation defined actions on the host. An optional database tier can also be added to collect storage management events for historical analysis.
|
| SCC
Monitor |
SCC Monitor actively monitors conditions in your DASD subsystem
and automatically intervenes when specified thresholds are met.
All monitoring and automation facilities are installation configurable.
|
| Simulate 2000 |
SIMULATE 2000 supports simulation of multiple clocks on one machine. Specifying alternate dates is fast and easy: through an ISPF interface, directly within JCL or through online screens in CICS or IMS/DC.
Online users can control dates by Region, Terminal, User or Transaction. Batch programs are controlled by Job Name, Step Name, Program Name, Job Class, User ID, etc. Alternate dates can be specified for either the job or individual steps.
|
| SMS/Debug |
SMS/Debug is a real-time debugging tool for IBM DF/SMS. Trace
facilities are available for the production ACS rules language,
the DF/SMS volume selection routines and the DADSM pre and post
processing exits.
|
| Space
Recovery System |
The Space Recovery System (SRS) dynamically recovers disk space allocation failures. When SRS intercepts a space failure, the installation rules are used to determine the recovery options. If the rules allow recovery, SRS forces the operating system to get the required disk space, and the job runs to completion. No more X37 Abends!
