VSUM
VSUM provides powerful design, monitoring and tuning capabilities for z/OS VSAM catalogs and data sets. VSUM provides five major functions, which will simplify many of the routine and complex tasks necessary for effective VSAM data set design and management. VSUM can be executed either online or in batch mode.
The five major functions of VSUM are:
• An extended catalog search/list function to provide intelligent search capabilities based on over 100 individual catalog search parameters
• A data set modeling and design feature to provide a simpler and more effective method for designing all types of VSAM data sets
• A data set recommendations feature which will make tuning and design recommendations for data sets being listed or analyzed
• A data set space utilization analysis and backup option to interrogate a complete or user-specified part of a VSAM data set and produce a variety of valuable statistics
• Batch data set analysis reports can be generated from statistics that can optionally be saved by VSUM
VSUM will save your personnel many hours of valuable time. The hours spent scanning VSAM catalog listings and performing complex space calculations for new and existing data sets will be greatly reduced. Improved DASD space utilization and job run performance improvements will be achieved through the efficient design and tuning of existing data sets.
