Benefits
The database collects data regarding all data sets on all volumes in the z/OS® environment (except for volumes that you have excluded) so that you can perform the following operations:
- View comprehensive summary reports regarding general trends or specific low-level details.
- Identify exception conditions regarding data sets throughout the environment.
- Select data sets from a workspace view and initiate Storage Toolkit action commands against them.
- Obtain an installation-wide view of data set space utilization, exceptional conditions, and summary statistics.
- Quickly identify resources that require attention, such as data sets that have excessive unused space, extents, or CA/CI splits.
- Avoid the use of utility programs that have limited ability to aggregate and display data, such as IEHLIST.
