Product Overview

PDS Monitor is a tool designed for managing and analyzing program and load libraries within z/OS environments. It provides functionality to identify active and unused programs, analyze load libraries, audit module updates, and locate duplicate modules. This tool helps in optimizing z/OS environments by ensuring efficient use of storage and system resources.

It runs on the z/OS operating system within an LPAR and analyzes load libraries, requiring access to the system's program management facilities. The main system components likely include modules for analysis, reporting, and auditing. These components communicate through internal z/OS mechanisms.

PDS Monitor integrates with z/OS security systems such as RACF, ACF2, or Top Secret to control access to load libraries. It provides audit logging capabilities to track module updates and access to load libraries. The architecture supports on-premise deployment within a z/OS environment, requiring expertise in z/OS systems programming and load library management.
