SyzCMD/z — Command Script Scheduling - z/OS System Automation Suite and z/OS mainframe consulting

Orchestrate IPL, shutdown, and routine operations with timed or event-driven execution, built-in safety checks, and full audit trails.

Fully interactive operator and System command scripting for z/OS.
The SyzCMD/z utility is designed to provide the "authorized" user with the capability of executing simple or complex "scripts" of MVS, JES2, JES3, CICS, DB/2, or Unix System Services (USS) commands from within a batch job or started task. The command(s) can be issued from the PARM parameter on the EXECute card or from the parameter script file both.

SyzCMD/z can be used to automate the operating systems IPL, Shutdown, controlling and monitoring CICS, DB/2 the TCP/IP or VTAM network, and almost any operator function in between. The product can be called from within "authorized" high level programs to execute commands and perform functions that would otherwise not be possible.

SyzCMD/z is not simply a "dumb" scripting facility for issuing commands, it has a direct interface with your sites security system (RACF, ACF/2, TOP/Secret) and will allow an "authorized" user to use the many special features for determining what needs to be done and when. The utility provides a very simple scripting language that allows the "authorized" user to harness extremely powerful command logic, including nested IF/THEN/ELSE logic.

Facilities are provided to allow the "authorized" user to perform script/command logic only IF some task is active, or not active, or only if (or if not) a certain day of the week, or time of day.
There are over 100 "special" internal logic commands built in to the SyzCMD/z facility with more under development.

The current version is 11.06.03
