Hello SYSVIEW Community!
As a systems programmer, you might have encountered scenarios where you need to diagnose or triage performance problems with transactions or systems, perform maintenance tasks on data sets or volumes, or simply gather information about data sets that exist in subsystems (for example CICS and IMS) that are running on your site.
Scenarios of this type can manifest the need to interrupt your SYSVIEW session to assemble JCL that you can use to execute batch jobs that gather the information that you need to accomplish your goals. Working in this manner is often disruptive, time-consuming, error prone, and can adversely affect your mean time to problem resolution. Also, the JCL that you assemble is often personalized and might not be easily sharable with your team.
SYSVIEW Batch Reports and Utilities (BRUTIS) is here to help!
With BRUTIS, you can:
- Execute batch jobs, reports, and utilities in context with the data on your display and continue to work in your SYSVIEW session.
- Easily locate the report or utility that you submitted and differentiate it from other jobs that you ran.
- Drill down directly to the output file that contains the data that you want to analyze while viewing your completed reports and utilities list.
- Share your common reports and utilities and workflow procedures with members of your team.
To learn more about BRUTIS and how to use it to help streamline your daily workflow, see the following topics in our technical documentation:
Thank you for using SYSVIEW!
