Rocket Software Introduces New Job Control Management Solution to Transform Mainframe Data Centres
Summary
Rocket Software, a global technology leader that creates enterprise software for some of the worlds largest companies, has released the next version of PRO/JCL, a job control language (JCL) management solution that includes a new interface via VS Code® extension, Enhanced Directed Execution with options for sending PROCs and PARMLIBs to remote LPARS, and improved visibility for NODE and LPAR in the primary panel. These updates help mainframe data centres achieve and operate a JCL environment that is error-free, standardised, and optimised. This version of PRO/JCL provides customers with new interface options that are appealing to today’s mainframe professionals and the organisations hiring them. • Improved responsiveness to change: Reduce mainframe bottlenecks to meet service level agreements more reliably. “Existing DevOps initiatives often omit JCL management from the DevOps toolchain, causing critical interruptions to business value streams, resulting in slower processes and potential revenue losses,” said Phil Buckellew, president of Infrastructure Modernisation, Rocket Software.
