The zjos-xdi is an integrated automation solution for z/OS environments that includes event management, automatic job scheduling, and spool file distribution, enhancing workflow efficiency across networked z/OS hosts. It allows users to automate actions based on various system events and supports complex job scheduling with advanced features like boolean logic and event-driven actions. Additionally, it aims to optimize disaster recovery processes and improve the usage of backup systems by managing production and disaster recovery machines collaboratively.

7. zJOS/Sekar© Events Management Solution

8. zJOS Event Management Solution zJOS/Sekar – EMS Solution: Facilitates users to define sets of actions against selected system events. Automates firing of all user’s defined action-sets based on event occurrences. In networked z/OS hosts, event–actions relationship can be one-to-one or one-to-many among hosts in the network. Features: Supports message (WTO and WTOR), command, timing (TOD), end-of-job (EOJ), end-of-jobstep (EOS) and dataset/file access and release types of system events. Supports command, reply (to WTOR) and rule types of actions. Supports networking agent (TCP/IP) for: Inter-hosts event intercepting Inter-hosts actions propagation Supports timeframe filter to control action execution based on user’s specified date-range, time-range, day-of-week and national holiday calendar.

10. zJOS/Puspa© Event-driven Scheduling Solution

11. zJOS Automatic Scheduling Solution zJOS/Puspa – Jobs Scheduling Solution: Facilitates users to define event-based workload or jobs schedule flows. Automates scheduling of all user’s defined workloads based on timing, job status, messages, commands and/or dataset access/release events occurrences. In networked z/OS hosts, predecessors-current-successors relationship can be crossed among hosts in the network. Features: Supports both jobstep-level and job-level triggering mechanism Supports almost unlimited combination of multi-condition triggering logic Supports networking agent (TCP/IP) for: Inter-hosts job-status information intercepting Inter-hosts jobs propagation Supports timeframe filter to control schedule execution based on user’s specified date-range, time-range, day-of-week and national holiday calendar. Supports special/advanced calendar control in addition to timeframe filter such as first work-day after off-day, first and work-day of week or of month etc.

12. zJOS/Puspa - Ultimate Scheduler Workload pipelining – the most efficient workload managemet. By supporting job-step level triggering/tracking mechanism, schedule flow path can be minized to lower turn around time. Boolean logic CC multitesting – the most flexible workload management. By supporting multigroup boolean logic comparison of CC in 2

13. Workload Pipelining A job may depend on its predecessor only for a certain job-step. Such job should not wait until the predecessor end. By supporting job-step level triggering/tracking mechanism, schedule flow path can be minized to lower turn around time. step02 step01 JOB0 step13 step12 step11 JOB1 step23 step22 step21 JOB2 step32 step31 JOB3 step53 step52 step51 JOB5 step43 step42 step41 JOB4

15. Boolean Logic CC Multitest Users have more chance to implement any level of schedule flow complexities easily. Application developers have more chance to provide their own multiple recovery flows mechanism. step02 step01 JOB0 step13 step12 step11 JOB1 step23 step22 step21 JOB2 step32 step31 JOB3 step53 step52 step51 JOB5 step43 step42 step41 JOB4 AND OR ABEND CC = 0 CC < 8 CC = 0 CC < 4 CC = 0 OR CC = 0 CC < 4 AND CC > 4

16. Any Event Can Trigger Schedule Schedule more than just inter-jobs dependencies and timing. Any other types of events can also be used to triggers schedule. Supported events are messages, commands, dataset access and dataset release.

20. Increase DR Utilization with zJOS-XDI

21. How is DR Operated? Does disaster recovery (DR) system just to keep data backup? Don’t you think that DR machine can help the production machine? zJOS-XDI would help you exploring the expensive DR machine, instead of just sleeping all the time.

22. zJOS-XDI Concept of DR zJOS-XDI approach you to have GDPS without parallel sysplex. DR and production machines are at the same level Make both contents are the same. DR and Production are just a matter of operation logic. Select separatable programs and data, and make them as 2 groups of jobs. One group runs on production machine and use DR machine as its backup. The other group runs on DR machine and use production machine as its backup. Lets zJOS-XDI manages both machines as productions and DR in flip-flop according to each group position.

29. Strategic Enterprise Plan Options Extend R&D to develop various zJOS agents for all possible non-z/OS platforms. Lets users develop their own zJOS agents. Any one who expert in certain platform can develop zJOS agent for that platform Lets open source communities develop zJOS agents for open system platforms.

33. Offering zJOS-XDI “crazy project” is looking for sponsor or partnership or even acquisition. If you are representing a mainframe software vendor, you would find this zJOS-XDI project is much more cost-effective than you develop yourself. Take time and lots of resources to develop. Meanwhile, at the moment not many vendors to compete in this strategic market sector. Sponsorship from any skill building foundation who really understand and care of potential economic and moral aspect of such project to the developing country like Nusantara, is very welcome.
