SMFUTIL
Company:
Ubiquity
SMFUTIL is an SMF data management system. SMFUTIL operates as a replacement for the IFASMFDP system utility in dumping and clearing the SYS1.MANxx datasets and as a SMF data selection processor to retrieve SMF data from archive files to be used by another SMF data processing program (such as *SAS or *RMF). This data retrieval is based upon user supplied data selection and/or validation criteria. This selection is performed via control keywords that define the data requested and validation functions to be performed. In addition, concatenation of unlike input device types (i.e. disk and tape) is supported. This can greatly reduce the number of steps required to produce ""current versus historical"" types of reports from SMF data where the current data resides in a disk-based GDG and the historical data is on tape."

TERADON
Company:
Dino Software
TERADON is a unique specialized REPRO MERGECAT utility that can run in batch mode like IDCAMS (but with exponentially faster runtimes and many more options) . . . OR online while the associated data sets remain OPEN. When data sets are OPEN, TERADON mirrors catalog access to ensure the new target catalog is referenced and/or updated correctly. As long as the files remain OPEN . . TERADON continues to perform all the mirroring. TERADON also automatically moves the ALIAS associated with the records that are moved and generates reports to list all the files currently mirrored on completion. Once all the files are CLOSED, mirroring can be disabled; however data sets can remain OPEN for the life of the IPL if required. Without TERADON, the user is typically forced to schedule standalone time to perform the REPRO MERGECAT. With TERADON, online systems can remain active and their files can remain open. Requests for each OPEN file that has had its catalog records moved will automatically be redirected to the new TARGET catalog by TERADON. This ability represents a huge savings in time and manpower to any company that suffers from oppressive time constraints.

XTINCT
Company:
Dino Software
Years ago, disk media was kept inside a glass house, accessed by only a few people and password protected. Even disaster recovery testing at offsite locations didn' t raise much concern for the safety of corporate data. After testing, many would scratch the table of contents and walk away feeling corporate data was reasonably safe. Today, however, is a different story. Terrorism, identity theft, off shoring, outsourcing, litigation, the Internet and the global economy have all highlighted the need for increased data protection. Governments have passed legislation such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPPA, HSPD-12, Basel II and Gramm-Leach-Bliley to hold corporations responsible for securing private information under their care. Beyond government standards, industry regulations such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard have further defined the rules and corporations desiring to do business with them. Failure to comply with these standards for data protection can result in large business losses and severe penalties, so it is no longer simply a matter of due diligence to protect data under your control, it is a necessity. XTINCT is a tool for wiping data to ensure the original data is unrecoverable. It provides various security and speed options exist to meet your level of protection. The product can be used when: When moving disks to another location. When disks come off lease and are being returned to the vendor. When disks are being moved to a warehouse. When leaving a backup/recovery site after Disaster Recovery testing. Before re-using disks for a different group within the company. Before scrapping disks.
