OMC-FLASH is the premier high-performance solution to view, manage, and control both JES2 and JES3 Spool environments – including jobs, output, devices, resources, workflow, and operations – All with one powerful JES-neutral solution.

OMC-FLASH utilizes a high performance JES2 and JES3 data collection strategy to retrieve and display requested JES spooled output efficiently, without copying, respooling, or additional DASD. In addition, OMC-FLASH is specifically designed to optimize interaction with JES2 and JES3 to provide the most efficient, effective JES spool management solution available.

 

OMC-FLASH JES Spool Viewing and Control

OMC-FLASH provides an intuitive ISPF interface to control JES job processing, personalize job and output displays, and rapidly locate and access JES spooled output so you can work more efficiently. Users can easily browse up to the second job status and information, and instantaneously retrieve spooled output before, during and after job execution.

OMC-FLASH enables users to customize job selection preferences and save the preferred selection profile for future sessions. Users can also specify exact job and output viewing criteria, to present job information and output in their preferred format, with options to further process the output selected.

The OMC-FLASH BATCH Utility efficiently executes OMC-FLASH functions in BATCH mode, including Batch COPY capabilities to copy data from large jobs to a specified output file without the TSO session delays often experienced when performing large copy operations.

OMC-FLASH Delivers Comprehensive Job and Output Control Capabilities:

  • Control and manage JES2 and JES3 jobs across the input, execution, and output queues.
  • Customize Job Selection from JES by destination, owner, system, writer and/or job class, or any field criteria.
  • View and Process all Types of Jobs, Tasks, and Spooled Output, including batch jobs, started tasks, TSO users, APPC jobs, active tasks, held and non-held output.
  • Personalize displays through the CONFIG facility to present Jobs and output with the exact fields, titles, column sizes, and position desired, as well as freeze columns, and specify colors.
  • Display an Extensive List of JES and Job Related Fields, including Service Class, SRB usage, TCB Usage, total STEP count, and more.
  • Set Highlighting Colors and Modes for specific fields or entire lines to rapidly recognize and locate significant information.
  • Fully Control Job Output, including browse, cut & paste, sort, find, print, copy to disk dataset, hold, requeue, delete, and more.
  • Define and Save Up to 10 Copy Profiles, with unique COPY processing parameters for different types of output, and recall those profiles on demand to expedite output processing.
