Product Overview

TSO FSE+ serves as an ISPF replacement, enhancing the application development environment within z/OS mainframe systems. Its architecture provides features such as dataset listing, browsing, and editing, alongside the ability to list JES jobs and SYSOUT. Operating under TSO or VTAM MUP, TSO FSE+ presents a robust alternative to the standard ISPF environment.

Key architectural components include the dataset management module, the browse/edit interface, and the JES interaction component. These components communicate through internal APIs, leveraging z/OS system services for data access and security. TSO FSE+ integrates with z/OS security systems like RACF, ACF2, and Top Secret to control access to datasets and system resources.

It is deployed on-premise within the z/OS environment and requires expertise in z/OS, TSO/E, and ISPF for implementation. Alternatives include IBM's ISPF and other third-party ISPF enhancement tools. The system uses standard z/OS datasets for storage and relies on TCP/IP for network communication when using VTAM MUP.
