HUPDATE^TM and RUPDATE^TM - DISOSS Online Definition Management

HUPDATE - DISOSS Online HUP Management

If you have been managing DISOSS user definitions in the Host User Profile (HUP) data set with DISOSS' HUP Create and Maintenance utility, you know the drawbacks of this batch job. You can only run the utility when the DISOSS region is not active. To avoid disrupting your users, you have to run the utility late at night or on weekends. If you make an error, you have to wait for a batch job rerun.

The DISOSS Online HUP Management product (HUPDATE) is a CICS transaction that lets you manage HUP user definitions dynamically. You can add, update, delete and view user entries in the HUP while the DISOSS region is active. HUPDATE lets you respond to user definition requests immediately.

HUPDATE's full-screen, menu-driven user interface simplifies the task of user ID management because you do not have to run batch jobs or know how to specify complicated control statements. And HUPDATE's comprehensive validation pinpoints errors immediately, so you can make corrections on the spot.

HUPDATE lets you select user definitions by such criteria as Address, User ID, External Name and Type of user. This ability to focus on a subset of users means that you don't have to work with a list of the entire HUP.

HUPDATE also lets you define working relationships between DISOSS users. You can add, update, remove and display working relationships.

You can invoke HUPDATE from any 3270 terminal. Online help provides summary information about HUPDATE's facilities and their uses.

When you install HUPDATE, you can activate optional features that:

invoke HUPDATE as a fastpath command from any OfficeVision/MVS panel
log all updates made to the HUP by HUPDATE
update other directories or add information to the log data set
work with Icom Solutions' OV/Assist, to provide single-step user definition in OfficeVision/MVS and DISOSS
add or update user definitions in the PS/CICS Host User Data Set (HUD) at the same time as you add or update them in the HUP
provide basic information about other users to your DISOSS end user community

HUPDATE works with:

all versions of OS/390 and MVS
CICS Version 2 or later
DISOSS Version 3, Releases 3 and 4
OfficeVision/MVS Version 1, Releases 1, 2 and 3 (R2/R3 only required for fastpath feature)
OV/Assist Release 1 or later
PS/CICS Version 1, Release 3.x (only required for some optional features)

RUPDATE - DISOSS Online Routing Table Management

If you have been managing DISOSS node definitions in the routing data set with DISOSS' Routing Create and Maintenance utility, you know the drawbacks of this batch job. You can only run the utility when the DISOSS region is not active. To avoid disrupting your users, you have to run the utility late at night or on weekends. If you make an error, you have to wait for a batch job rerun.

The DISOSS Online Routing Table Management product (RUPDATE) is a CICS transaction that lets you manage DISOSS node definitions dynamically. You can add, update, delete and view routing table entries while the DISOSS region is active. RUPDATE lets you respond to node definition requests immediately.

RUPDATE's full-screen, menu-driven user interface simplifies the task of SNADS node management because you do not have to run batch jobs or know how to specify complicated control statements. And RUPDATE's comprehensive validation pinpoints errors immediately, so you can make corrections on the spot.

RUPDATE lets you select node definitions by such criteria as Routing Group Name, Routing Element Name, SNADS Service Level, Transaction Identification and Queue. This ability to focus on a subset of nodes means that you don't have to work with a list of the entire routing table.

You can invoke RUPDATE from any 3270 terminal. Online help provides summary information about RUPDATE's facilities and their uses.

When you install RUPDATE, you can activate optional features that:

invoke RUPDATE from the Personal Services administrator main menu, allowing you to respond to node definition requests without signing off from OfficeVision/MVS or PS/CICS
log all updates made to the routing data set by RUPDATE
update other directories or add information to the log data set

RUPDATE works with:

all versions of OS/390 and MVS
