How can I manage my scheduling change process with VISUALjob for TWS?
The prerequisite of an effective management of a change process is the separation of the development environment from the execution environment. The principle of the separation of the development environment from the execution/production environment is applied to traditional application development environment since decades. The control of the changes and the versions between development and execution/production is normally embedded in a change and configuration management process supported by adequate tools. The VISUALjob for TWS definition database(s) is clearly separated from the TWS for z/OS and End to End definitions in the production environment. With this, modern change and configuration management standard can finally be applied to the batch production. |

Can I avoid creating and can I detect existing loops with VISUALjob for TWS?
The earlier a loop is detected, the better. VISUALjob for TWS provides an analysis function during the design phase of a scheduling definition in order to check, as early as possible, if loops where accidently created. A loop analysis can also be performed on the entire schedule. Candidates for a potential loop will first be listed and then validated if they are “real” loops. No mainframe resources (e.g. trial plans) are required to perform loop analysis. |
