HORIZONT 2 ProcMan ® Development JCL Schedule Proc Test JCL Schedule Proc Production JCL Schedule Proc ProcMan What is ProcMan? ProcMan (Process Manager) is a handover and change management system for scheduling objects, JCL, text and script files, designed specifically for the needs of data centers Archive Handover Objects Application Developer Production Planner

HORIZONT 3 ProcMan ® ProcMan Functions Control, logging and documentation of handovers -by company specific rules and standards -by technical environments -by timelines Analysis and verification of the objects Formal capture of all necessary data and dynamic polling of additional information Transfer and generation of the objects to the target systems (e.g. Development - Test - Production) Revision proof storing of the handover data and objects in an archive The main functions of ProcMan are:

HORIZONT 4 ProcMan ® ProcMan Components Modern, user friendly web dialog DB2 z/OS database (other systems on request) Customizable handover process (workflow and dialog) Hierarchical client concept Users / roles security concept Customer specific JCL dialog Rule based JCL generator Modular system: -Workflow Manager -JCL module, based on SmartJCL (Inclusive Procedures, SYSIN data, etc.) -TWS module, based on TWS/WebAdmin for z/OS and TWS/BatchAD -Free text -Other modules on request The Components of ProcMan are:

HORIZONT 5 ProcMan ® ProcMan Implementation Configure your technical environment: -z/OS LPARs, source and target systems, check systems, JCL-Libraries, TWS systems etc. Define clients, import User ids, assign roles Setup the handover processes you need: -Configure the actions and it’s workflow -Define required and optional input fields and verification rules Setup your JCL rules (SmartJCL) -The JCL analysis rules correspond to web forms and control which input fields have to be filled (e.g. select account number from a list, enter restart information, specify LRECL and number of GDG entries etc.) -The JCL generator rules control how the new JCL will be generated. Every customer has it’s specific organization and rules. Therefore, the needed handover processes have to be configured and customized. ProcMan is prepared for that:

HORIZONT 6 ProcMan ® ProcMan Handover Processes JCL for new Jobs -z/OS developer has tested JCL and want to pass it in production -Production planner takes the test JCL and creates the production JCL and scheduling definition (TWS) Change production JCL -Change LRECL, add DD Statement etc. Change SORT statements Delete Jobs Schedule the new Jobs Run an ad hoc Job with dedicated JCL … Typical handover processes are Setup step by step your processes, tailored to your needs! Once it runs, ProcMan take care about complete, verified and documented handover activities and automates manual work.

HORIZONT 8 ProcMan ® ProcMan Dialog After logon, the ProcMan menu and the "work list“ appears. Each user can set his own filter. Administrators are allowed to define clients, roles, process flows, etc. start a handover process

HORIZONT 9 ProcMan ® ProcMan JCL New Handover Choose a new process, e.g. „JCL New…“

HORIZONT 10 ProcMan ® ProcMan JCL New Handover First, the general information like description, handover date etc. have to be entered For each process, the administrator defines which fields are there and how the fields are named

HORIZONT 11 ProcMan ® ProcMan JCL New Handover Possible source and target systems, input and output libraries etc. are predefined by the administrator Demo handover of two JCL Member

HORIZONT 12 ProcMan ® ProcMan JCL New Handover Based on your rules, SmartJCL analyzes the JCL and prompts the user to enter required data like e.g. account number etc. It’s also possible to ask for additional "non-JCL" information, which can be processed later. Automatically or manually

HORIZONT 13 ProcMan ® ProcMan JCL New Handover Typical for new files is the question about the GDG limit. The new GDG base is created automatically.

HORIZONT 14 ProcMan ® ProcMan JCL New Handover Typical at list output are the questions about printing parameters or Beta93 details

HORIZONT 15 ProcMan ® ProcMan JCL + TWS New Handover It is possible to start a TWS new handover as a successor process. The necessary fields are customizable

HORIZONT 16 ProcMan ® ProcMan JCL + TWS New Handover For each job of the preceding JCL handover, a TWS operation will be created automatically

HORIZONT 17 ProcMan ® ProcMan JCL + TWS New Handover When all information has been fully entered and verified, the target JCL is generated, the process step of the creator is "Completed" (blue) and the next step becomes "Ready"

HORIZONT 18 ProcMan ® ProcMan JCL + TWS New Handover Development JCL TWS Proc Production JCL TWS Proc ProcMan Application Developer Production Planner Archive Handover Objects The developer has completed his part of the handover. The JCL and the new TWS Application are stored in the PM DB: 

HORIZONT 20 ProcMan ® ProcMan JCL + TWS New Handover A handover process can be rejected, modified, or, by entering OK, completed:

The handover is done.  
