CSI/SORT - Fast Sort for VSE Operating Systems.

 BIM-EDIT - BIM-EDIT can replace ICCF, VOLLIE, ROSCOE, LIBRARIAN, CONDOR or PANVALET. Conversion programs are available for most existing online editors.
BIM-EDIT provides:
• a much easier to use editor
• tighter source control with check-in/check-out, member auditing and stamping, version control and archiving
• a more flexible and straightforward security system
• significantly better performance / efficiency
• more flexible operations • a more powerful, yet simpler to use procedure processor.

 RELIANT - Reliant is a family of product components that when used together, provide dataset protection for your shops VSAM datasets. Reliant is comprised of three components:
RECOV - Provides VSAM dataset recovery
JOURNAL - Provides VSAM journaling for batch programs.
JMASTER - Provides automatic journal switching and backup of your CICS and CICS/TS journals.

 Data/Miner - Data-Miner is an easy to use, general purpose VSAM I/O interface utility designed to simplify and standardize access to VSAM files. Data-Miner provides full VSAM access from programs written in many fourth generation languages (4GL) such as NATURAL and Focus. Data-Miner also provides a more powerful, easier and more efficient way of accessing VSAM from programs written in third generation languages such as COBOL and PL/I.

 OVERRIDE - Override is a product which is designed to significantly increase the performance of VSAM in every installation. It does this in a way which is transparent to the programs involved, does not alter any VSAM files and does not make any modifications to VSAM itself. While each installation is different, experience with some installations has shown potential savings to be astounding.

 VSUM - VSUM provides powerful design, monitoring and tuning capabilities for VSE VSAM catalogs and data sets. VSUM provides five major functions, which will simplify many of the routine and complex tasks necessary for effective VSAM data set design and management. VSUM can be executed in either TSO/ISPF or batch mode.  .

 VSHARE - V-Share allows multiple programs to update the same VSAM file simultaneously. To accomplish this, V-Share intercepts batch VSAM requests and ships the requests to a CICS/VSE region (hereafter just "CICS region"). CICS then updates the file on behalf of the batch jobs. By giving batch jobs the ability to update files within CICS, V-Share makes CICS the VSAM data manager.  .

 BIM-FAQS/CALL - allows the VSE system to trigger a Call List that will call a pager, based on PCS and /or ASO actions. By setting up a predetermined call list the user can specify which pagers receive certain messages under different circumstances. The user can also set predefined responses that the pager can then send back to the VSE system to act upon.  .

 BIM/FAQS-PCS - BIM-FAQS/PCS (Production Control System) provides state-of-the-art automated scheduling for VSE data centers. BIM-FAQS/PCS triggers an unlimited number of events that have simple and complex dependencies. Scheduling decisions are made accurately and at machine speed. Human error is virtually eliminated. And throughput improves. So you can more easily meet today's demanding service level agreements.  .

 BIM/FAQS-ASO - BIM-FAQS/ASO is the automated systems operations product for VSE. BIM-FAQS/ASO enables you to automate your system in many ways.
You can:
• Manage messages automatically by filling in blank panels
• Create your own commands
• Create your own PF keys
• Increase system throughput. 

BIM-FAQS/ASO's Automated Operations features bring together the following to give you the power of automated systems operations:
• REXX language, compiler, and editor (99% REXX compatible)
• BIM-FAQS/ASO
• BIM-FAQS/PCS
• Menus and data panels

 ODIS - ODIS displays under CICS a wealth of information about the current status of the CICS system, under VSE or MVS, and also displays VSE, VTAM and VSE DL/I status information. Both detail and summary displays are provided, as well as analytic displays used for problem determination. ODIS also has an optional feature called "ODISTRAK" through which ODIS records major CICS statistics and periodically writes them to a VSAM file. Batch programs analyze and report on the recorded data, and also permit archiving of it to tape.  .

 SSL - For VSE to participate in a secure e-business strategy, the platform must provide for message integrity, authentication, and confidentiality. We use data encryption, digital signatures, PKI certificates, and secure hash functions to prevent messages from being camouflaged, passwords from being hacked, and transactions from being denied. The services are provided in the Connectivity Systems product line by the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) feature of TCP/IP for VSE. SSL for VSE is an optional product that is fully integrated into TCP/IP for VSE and provides a complete set of services to secure e-business transactions. SSL for VSE implements both the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 standards for e-business security. Although SSL has been officially renamed to TLS for all future releases, we use SSL as a generic name for both SSL and TLS.  .

 See/VSE - SeeVSE allows you to analyze the activity and performance of your VSE and TCP/IP systems from an easy to use PC graphical user interface. SeeVSE will answer questions like:
• What is the current CPU usage of my VSE system?
• What was CPU usage yesterday at 3pm?
• What was the CPU trend for the last 2 months?
• Which partitions are using the most resources?  .

 CAF - CICS Access Facility. The importance of CICS in VSE installations cannot be overstated. CICS serves as data repository, interactive interface and as the focal point of processing in most VSE shops. Recognizing the critical nature of CICS in VSE/ESA and z/VSE, CSI International is proud to introduce our latest TCP/IP for VSE enhancement--the CICS Access Facility (CAF). The purpose of CAF is to do just what the name implies: provide access to CICS using TCP/IP facilities.  .
