Facilitator
ASTUTE Family Facilitator

 

 

Release 1.1 of the OS/2-OS/390 Facilitator is now available for distribution.

Running on the OS/2 side of a P390 or Integrated Server, the OS/2-OS/390 Facilitator is a comprehensive set of OS/2 commands that make maintenance and recovery of P390-IS-OS/390 systems much easier.   This is accomplished by allowing access to OS/390 data from OS/2.

Facilitator(tm) 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 OS/390 volume (CLIP)


Facilitator provides many benefits.  Follows are a few examples:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
