MacKinney Systems, Inc.

TRACK, XRAY, and Dump Detective are MacKinney Systems’ cost-effective mainframe application debugging and analysis tools for z/OS and z/VSE environments. These tools provide application developers with an interactive source-level debugging session for Assembler, COBOL, and PL/1 programs. They enable fast and effective development, testing, and maintenance for CICS and batch programs.

MacKinney Systems Testing and Debugging Tools

The ISPF/VSAM Utility provides online access to the most used VSAM functions, typically performed with IDCAMS batch processing, including allocating (defining), renaming, copying, and deleting VSAM files with no restrictions on LRECL or file size.                          VSAM AdminAid aids in monitoring, tuning, and reorganizing the production of VSAM files. VAA reduces online response times, batch windows, CPU cycles, DASD space usage, and VSAM administration time.

Features include:
•CICS/MAPR II: Create or modify CICS screens fast and easily
•Easy Help for CICS: Easy-to-implement interactive help without program changes
•CICS/Forward Recovery: Quickly recovers corrupted or lost CICS VSAM files

Data Management

CICS File Availability offers file backup and reorganization with concurrent update access in CICS, enabling you to approach 24/7 availability. After a CICS to batch file copy, any tasks accessing the file are suspended for the duration of the file rename. Users experience a slight delay during the rename instead of receiving file closed error messages. MacKinney Batch to CICS (MBC) allows you to control CICS resources from a batch. With more than 50 available commands, you can easily alter VSAM, RLS, the program, TranID, and TDQ resources. Complete audit trails and total security make MBC a choice tool for Fortune 500 companies. An optional new MBC feature (MBC/FA) includes suspending and resuming logic to prevent users from seeing error messages when a file is closed.
