z/OS Security Server (RACF) - IBM Program Number 5694-A01 You may also wish to add one or a couple of the Tivoli zSecure products, notably zSecure Admin and/or zSecure Visual, so the security administrators are even happier and have less to learn. >CA1 z/OS DFSMSrmm - 5694-A01 >CopyCat Tivoli Tape Optimizer for z/OS - 5698-B26 >TPX IBM Session Manager for z/OS (5697-N61). IBM has some other session managers as alternatives, but look at ISM first. >NetMaster Most probably Tivoli NetView for z/OS (5697-ENV) and/or Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for Mainframe Networks (5698-A35). >Intertest Debug Tool for z/OS - 5655-W45 >Detector for DB2 Most probably DB2 Query Monitor for z/OS (5697-I03), but you may also like one or a couple of the IBM Optim tools, such as Optim Query Tuner for z/OS and/or Optim Query Workload Tuner for z/OS. >Plan Analyzer DB2 Path Checker for z/OS (5697-Q01) and/or DB2 SQL Performance Analyzer for z/OS (5697-I04). You might as well also get the IBM DB2 Accessories Suite for z/OS, available at no additional charge to all licensed DB2 for z/OS customers. >Allocate Tivoli Advanced Allocation Management for z/OS - 5697-P35 >Vantage It depends on which pieces of Vantage you have, but you would be looking at one or more of the following products, in some combination: Tivoli Advanced Reporting for DFSMShsm - 5698-B14 Tivoli Advanced Audit for DFSMShsm - 5698-B12 Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for Storage on z/OS - 5698-A37 >SymDump Fault Analyzer for z/OS - 5655-W46 >XCOM WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition for z/OS (5655-U80) or IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for z/OS. >RC/Update & Extract For RC/Update probably DB2 Table Editor for z/OS (5697-G65) but you may also want DB2 Administration Tool (5697-L90) if you don't have it already. IBM Optim Test Data Management for IMS/VSAM/Sequential (5655-V17) may also be applicable. For RC/Extract you would probably use IBM Optim Test Data Management for z/OS (5655-V11). IBM File Manager (5697-Q03) may also be useful. >ASG Products >ViewDirect Probably Content Manager OnDemand for z/OS (5697-N93) or perhaps Tivoli Output Manager for z/OS (5698-A26). >Synsort Products >Syncsort & SRAM z/OS DFSORT - 5694-A01 >Data Direct Products >SQLINK I think DataDirect (now Progress Software) calls this product SequeLink. I can't figure out what SequeLink does that DB2 doesn't already do by itself (perhaps with DB2 Connect licensing, which you'd need anyway), so do you still need SequeLink?
