Actually Batch never left, and is an important workload in meeting business SLAs. In 2013 IBM announced zBNA, a new free tool available to customers to help assess the impact to the Batch Window from implementing new technology options. This presentation will discuss a number of today’s Batch issues, provide an overview of zBNA: what it is, how it works and why you’d want to use it.
zBNA’s state of the art graphical interface and rich filtering options allows one to efficiently assess the resources and elapsed times from the key jobs, steps and DASD data sets comprising your Batch Window. See how zBNA can help you assess your Batch workload. The latest technology option support including zEDC BSAM/QSAM compression will be discussed.-John Burg-IBM Corporation
