XINFO and Control-M XINFOS's Control-M Interface analyzes following Control-M/Server data under z/OS, Unix, Windows etc. : • General Job Definitions • Scheduling and Execution Paramters • Resources • Conditions • "ON PGMST", and Steps • SHOUT, and Post. Proc • IOALOG, the base for Job History • Statistics, Conditions and ctmrpln utility, used for the Forecast HORIZONT 4 XINFO – Scheduler z. OS and DS – Control-M

XINFO and Control-M Important features of XINFO for Control-M: • Mostly specialzed departments only know data from their own applications, but not the corresponding Control-M procedures. Due to this, to get the right job only with file name is very complicated - XINFO enables you a powerful and easy-to-use search tool • Users know their own procedures, but do not have a general overview and Control-M has bad graphic presentation - XINFO has a great overview and a clear graphic presentation • You can use XINFO´s script interface to generate automated documentation, e. g. procedures as graphic and informations for jobs HORIZONT 5 XINFO – Scheduler z. OS and DS – Control-M

XINFO and Control-M Further advantages of XINFO for Control-M: • z/OS: - Fast respond to orders Research options are comfortable and easy-to-use Easy search for quantitative resources in all scheduling definitions Easy search for control resources, as well for “Status Share” or “exclusive” Search through ON PGMST Steps in scheduling definitions Creation of graphical flowcharts on job level with specification whether only successor or predecessor are to be displayed • Distributed: - In addition to z/OS: - If you use AFT jobs, you can search for any value in the %%FTP-* variables under Autoedit variables to make evaluations.

Control-M – Selection XINFO is an add-on to Control-M GUI. XINFO collects data from all Control-M systems, independently from the platform. Therefore XINFO gives you an overview about all systems.
