What infrastructure is required?

Qview runs on zVSE/VSEn platforms. It leverages the existing infrastructure of these systems to provide its viewing and browsing capabilities.

For mainframe products: Does this run in an LPAR?

Qview is designed to operate within the zVSE/VSEn environment. It does not have specific dependencies on z/OS but requires the presence of CICS and SHADOW subsystems to access the relevant files and queues.

Does this extend/enhance another product?

Qview enhances the capabilities of CICS and SHADOW by providing a dedicated interface for viewing and managing print output. It does not replace these systems but rather extends their functionality.

How does Qview improve efficiency?

Qview streamlines the process of accessing and managing print output, reducing the time and effort required to locate and view SPRI files. This can lead to improved operational efficiency and faster decision-making.

How does Qview improve data accessibility?

By providing a centralized interface for viewing SPRI files and queues, Qview can improve data accessibility and reduce the risk of errors associated with manual processes. This can lead to better data quality and more informed business decisions.

How does Qview reduce costs?

Qview can help organizations reduce costs associated with print management by streamlining workflows and reducing the need for manual intervention. This can lead to lower operational expenses and improved resource utilization.

How does Qview ensure security?

Qview leverages the security features of the underlying zVSE/VSEn platform to control access to SPRI files and queues. It supports authentication methods provided by the operating system and can integrate with existing security frameworks.

What access control model is used?

Qview uses an access control model based on user roles and permissions to restrict access to sensitive data. This ensures that only authorized users can view specific SPRI files and queues.

What audit/logging capabilities exist?

Qview provides audit logging capabilities to track user access to SPRI files and queues. This allows administrators to monitor activity and identify potential security breaches.

How is Qview typically deployed?

Qview is typically deployed on-premise within the zVSE/VSEn environment. The implementation process involves configuring the application to access the relevant CICS and SHADOW subsystems and setting up user access controls.

What level of technical expertise is required?

Implementing Qview requires a moderate level of technical expertise, including familiarity with zVSE/VSEn systems, CICS, and SHADOW. System administrators and IT professionals with experience in these environments can typically handle the implementation process.

What ongoing operational requirements exist?

Ongoing operational requirements for Qview include monitoring system performance, managing user access, and ensuring that the application remains compatible with the underlying zVSE/VSEn environment. Regular maintenance and updates may be required to address security vulnerabilities and ensure optimal performance.

Product Overview

Qview is an application designed to streamline the viewing and management of SPRI files and queues within CICS and SHADOW environments running on zVSE/VSEn. It provides a centralized interface for accessing print output, addressing the challenge of efficiently managing and accessing this data. Qview enhances existing CICS and SHADOW environments by providing a dedicated interface for print output management.

It does not replace these systems but extends their functionality. The core components of Qview interact directly with CICS and SHADOW subsystems to retrieve and display SPRI files and queue information. It leverages the existing security infrastructure of zVSE/VSEn to manage user authentication and access control.

Qview requires access to the SPRI files and queues managed by CICS and SHADOW. Ensure that the necessary network connectivity and security permissions are in place to allow Qview to access these resources. Alternatives include other print management solutions like OMC-VIEW and VPS/Report Browse.
