T-REX

The T-REX architecture is designed for efficient and reliable z/OS catalog management. The core components include the Catalog Management Engine, which handles catalog operations; the Backup and Restore Module, responsible for backup and recovery processes; the Verification and Repair Utilities, which ensure data integrity; and the Reporting and Auditing Subsystem, which provides detailed logs and reports. These components interact through z/OS system services and utilize z/OS datasets for storing catalog backups and metadata.

The CLI provides the primary interface for interacting with T-REX. Key commands include BACKUP, RESTORE, and VERIFY. dataset)`.

dataset)`. T-REX does not expose any APIs. Security is managed through integration with z/OS security products such as RACF, ACF2, or Top Secret, which provide authentication and implement RBAC.

All operations are logged, providing a comprehensive audit trail. T-REX's design prioritizes performance and reliability within the z/OS environment, ensuring efficient catalog management and data protection. It differentiates itself from general backup solutions by focusing specifically on the unique requirements of z/OS catalogs.
