Where Precision Meets Production

Overview

VERIFI n: JCL Code Delivered Production-Ready

VERIFIn checks your JCL before it reaches production. Validate syntax, confirm that referenced data sets exist and that users are authorized to access them, and enforce your own site rules, all before a job is submitted. 

  • Works where your developers already do: ISPF, batch, USS, REST API, the Zowe CLI, and VS Code, and plugs into existing DevOps pipelines with minimal setup
  • Syntax and object-existence checks, data set authorization validation, and a flexible site rules framework that applies the same policies across every team and environment
  • Built for application developers, systems programmers, and new-to-Z staff learning JCL, with clear error messages that explain what went wrong and how to fix it

VERIFIn Product Overview

How VERIFIn checks JCL for errors, policy breaches and security issues before it runs.

Why VERIFIn Is Different

VERIFIn Simplifies JCL Validation

Your second set of eyes for writing JCL code

  • quick-time

    Decreased Development Delays

    Accelerates testing cycles through JCL checking and speeds up application delivery. Efficient code construction eliminates manual review bottlenecks.

     

  • data

    Modern User Experience

    Enables teams to check jobs quickly and effortlessly, through the use of a REST API, ZOWE CLI, and Eclipse plug-in.

  • bi-directional

    DevOps Integration

    Seamless DevOps integration by plugging directly into existing pipelines with minimal setup.

  • code-block

    Automated Policy Enforcement

    Flexible site rules framework supports automated workflows and ensures consistent policy enforcement across teams and environments.

  • support

    Security Authorization Checks

    Built-in security validation confirms user authorization for referenced data sets and prevents unauthorized access.

  • critical-ready

    Syntax Object Existence Validation

    Advanced syntax checks proactively detect JCL errors and minimize execution interruptions across batch processing environments.

Turning JCL Development into Seamless Production

  • The Challenge

    New to Z Skills Gap

    For new‑to‑Z employees, learning JCL while being expected to deliver quick results can cause significant production delays. This becomes even more challenging without the support of familiar interfaces.

    The Solution

    VERIFIn simplifies JCL learning for new-to-Z employees with an intuitive, approachable environment. It proactively warns users of common mistakes and potential errors, helping them build confidence and deliver results quickly.

  • The Challenge

    Manual Review Bottlenecks

    Manual JCL reviews have resulted in more abends and increased back and forth between teams.

    The Solution

    By automating JCL validation and reducing manual checks, VERIFIn helps to improve team productivity. It allows developers to catch errors earlier, streamline their workflow, and spend more time building features rather than correcting avoidable JCL issues.

  • The Challenge

    DevOps Integration

    Integrating JCL validation tools into existing DevOps pipelines remains a challenge and can lead to inconsistencies, configuration overhead, and disruptions in the end-to-end delivery process.

    The Solution

    VERIFIn is a JCL validation tool designed for seamless DevOps integration by plugging directly into existing pipelines with minimal configuration.

  • The Challenge

    Policy Enforcement

    Ensuring your JCL tool adheres to site-specific rules and security requirements remains a challenge, leading to gaps in compliance, potential exposure risks, and additional oversight effort.

    The Solution

    VERIFIn automates rule enforcement and security validation, ensuring policies are applied consistently while confirming users only access the data they’re authorized to use.
