Most IT organizations struggle to get meaningful reporting from the HCD. Looking for simple things like changes and/or solving problems require tedious reviews of long reports. Information gleaned from these reports is difficult to share and is typically created manually.

Join this webcast to discover a new tool that demystifies changes to the Input Output Definition File (IODF). The IODF Explorer will find and document the content of the IODF for a named z/OS System using a collection of highly formatted Configuration Reports. It "Blueprints" IODF configuration elements: OSCP, SWCP and IOCP with sufficient detail to allow the pinpointing and reporting of changes in Configuration Change Reports. These reports are easy to read and produce, can be emailed, printed or exported in a comma-delimited file. These reports can also span multiple generations of IODFs, including look-alike IODFs such as Home Site and Hot Site IODFs.

Webcast attendees will also learn about IODF configuration weaknesses such as:

• Incomplete pathing;
• Required configuration values;
• Inconsistent definitions between the IOCP and the OSCP;
• Underutilizing the benefits of service elements such as the Eligible Device Table.

Attendees will be given the opportunity to receive the results of a complimentary IODF Extraction Report of their IODF.
