Facilitator™ 1.1 is Now Available
New Product Announcement
May 1998 -- Advanced Software Technologies Company, Ltd. (ASTCO Ltd.)
announces that Release 1.1 of the OS/2-OS/390 Facilitator™ is available for
distribution.
Running on the OS/2 side of a P390, the OS/2-OS/390 Facilitator is a comprehensive set of
OS/2 commands that make maintenance and recovery of P390-OS/390 systems much easier.
This is accomplished by allowing access to OS/390 data from OS/2.
Facilitator™ provides the following functions:
 | copy text OS/390 sequential data set or PDS member to OS/2 file
|
| copy text OS/2 file to OS/390 sequential data set or PDS member
|
| rename OS/390 data set
|
| zap OS/390 volume or data set (in a manner similar to AMASPZAP)
|
| list VTOC of OS/390 volume
|
| list directory of OS/390 partitioned data set
|
| change volser of MVS volume (CLIP)
|
Facilitator provides many benefits. Follows are a few examples:
- A user could try new OS/390 SYS1.PARMLIB configurations, and, if the system failed to
IPL, easily edit the changed member(s) in SYS1.PARMLIB, or rename back the original
SYS1.PARMLIB data set, and bring up the original OS/390.
- Facilitator could be used to generate PDS member names into an OS/2 file, and this
information used to automatically generate Facilitator commands to transfer all or part of
the PDS to OS/2.
