Dec 7, 2023

New release accelerates testing and production delivery of JCL streams and integration with IBM Z Workload Scheduler to help avoid false alerts.

accelerating the JCL Validation process

Application programmers know the pressures of building JCL for applications with no errors and staying compliant with site standards. And IT operators and schedulers must manage execution of thousands of batch streams without errors impacting service level commitments.

IBM® Z® JCL Expert is designed to validate and correct JCL and parameter syntax during testing, speeding up the process for delivery of new applications and functionality. This tool provides advanced JCL checking including site standard conformance verification by checking the JCL and utility parameter syntax online. Unlike other offerings, IBM Z JCL Expert performs JCL checking in the development environment already in use. It also provides a batch interface to check multiple JCLs simultaneously and a REST interface to automate the JCL checking.
