HORIZONT 2 XINFO ® XINFO V3R1 DS (Distributed Systems) IT Charts SAP Scanner C Scanner Load Module Scanner Universal Netplans More new functions XINFO 3.1 is available since November 2005. It has following new functions:

HORIZONT 3 XINFO ® XINFO V3R1 DS DS (Distributed Systems)
4
HORIZONT 4 XINFO ® What is XINFO DS? Batch productions runs on several operating systems, e.g. z/OS, Windows, AIX, Solaris or Linux. XINFO has scanners to analyse data on all systems The result of the analysis is loaded into one single database DS means "Distributed", or "Data processing on distributed systems"
5
HORIZONT 5 XINFO ® XINFO DS - Scanner Scheduler TWS UC4 Control-M ECS and EM File systems (Volumes and files) Inventory (installed software and services/daemons) SAP R/3 C Language (DS and zOS) Following scanners will be available with XINFO 3.1:
6
HORIZONT 6 XINFO ® XINFO DS - Displays Filesystem Inventory
7
HORIZONT 7 XINFO ® XINFO DS - Files View for all files (no difference between Unix and Windows) UNIX Windows Search for all files belonging to the project XINFO?

13
HORIZONT 13 XINFO ® XINFO DS - Installed Software Installed Software Answers questions like “Is the release of FTA on Solaris28 correct?”
14
HORIZONT 14 XINFO ® XINFO DS - Installed Software Installed Software, not only for Windows, but also for AIX and Solaris!
15
HORIZONT 15 XINFO ® XINFO DS Infrastructure XINFO has a task manager to "trigger" XINFO scanners. Run days, intervals or start times can be configured. XINFO has executors to trigger scanner programs. XINFO executors have integrated FTP. XINFO supports incremental update. That reduces the amount of data to be transferred. Data is loaded by a server program directly into DB2 or Oracle. XINFO DS includes a complete infrastructure:
16
HORIZONT 16 XINFO ® XINFO DS - Admin Admin dialog to maintain distributed XINFO scanners
17
HORIZONT 17 XINFO ® XINFO DS - Admin Simple administration, e.g. ”refresh“ rates
18
HORIZONT 18 XINFO ® NT z/OS NT, UNIX NT DB2 XINFO for z/OS and DS JCL TWS etc. SMF XINFO Scanner Scanner SMF JCL TWS etc XINFO Scanner DB2 Load Scheduler XXRT* XXRNSRV UC4 Script TWS etc. Files XINFO Scanner Scanner TCP/IP
19
HORIZONT 19 XINFO ® FTP as an alternative ? FTP and a schedulers (or trackers, FTA, E2E etc.) are available on these servers. If you do not want to implement the complete infrastructure, data can be loaded into the XINFO database by using standard FTP and load utilities. The only prerequisite:

30
HORIZONT 30 XINFO ® Printing IT-Charts All graphics are easy to print
31
HORIZONT 31 XINFO ® IT-Charts - Technical Overview IT-Charts programs are running every day after the "regular" XINFO application. They are analysing the new records that where written into the “regular” XINFO database before. IT-Charts programs are writing the results into one additional table. IT-Charts displays that are especially designed for that purpose allow to filter the needed data from that table. IT-Charts admin programs allow to modify existing selection displays and graphics (ranges, colors, fractions etc.) IT-Charts admin programs allow to create your own graphics based on your own data. IT-Charts is based on zOS batch programs that run after the regular XINFO application.
