Change Tracking

ChangeMan SSM maintains a database of all changes to designated z/OS datasets and members. This single product supports Hierarchical File System (HFS) and Non-HFS data sets. Changed data is packaged and efficiently transmitted to a disaster recovery or business continuity site.

Rapid Disaster Recovery

The unique ability of ChangeMan SSM to synchronize environments and automatically identify changes is perfect for ensuring that hot-sites are immediately ready to take over production application support in the event of a massive production site failure.

Unlike hardware-based disk mirroring solutions, logical corruptions caused by human errors or software failures can be prevented by configuring a delayed apply at the standby site.

Eliminate Redundant Software Licenses

The Member Reference Tracking (MRT) feature of ChangeMan SSM reduces wasted disk space by identifying duplicated and unused Partitioned Data Set members. By tracking program product usage, customers can identify opportunities to save on software maintenance costs.

Reduce Planned Downtime Through Automation

ChangeMan SSM reduces downtime by automating the shipment of SMPE target volumes to multiple systems. This assures that only tested changes are applied to target systems, thus minimizing downtime for servicing system images.
