The z/VSE CPU Monitor Tool is intended to help customers to measure the CPU utilization of their z/VSE system over a period of time. Especially when you plan for a processor upgrade it is very important to know the CPU utilization of your z/VSE system over a day or a week. This helps you to estimate the size of the new processor.
The z/VSE CPU Monitor Tool is not intended to replace any existing monitoring product provided by partners. Instead it provides only very basic monitoring capabilities on an overall VSE system level. No details about CPU usage of certain applications are provided.

Coping with Language Environment for VSE run-time problems often is a complex task that requires analysis of the failing application and environment. A related useful approach is to cross-check program compile/link lists (e.g in regard to languages, interfaces, products, options, stubs involved). This tool validates VSE compile/link list(s) to judge whether or not a run-time problem might be related to the way the application is built. Download and extract the ZIP file into a new directory (e.g. C:\jlink_le). A readme file (in HTML format) is contained in the ZIP file with further information and installation instructions.
In order to install and use the JLink LE/VSE tool, you need a Java runtime environment (JRE) or a Java developers kit (JDK) 1.4 or higher. You can download JDKs/JREs for various platforms from IBM developerWorks or Sun Microsystems, Inc.

The Multi Instant Logic Analyzer4VSAM combines several VSAM analysis tools. The following tools and functions are included in Version 1.2:
New features in v1.2:
- POWER JECL customization
- LINUX Plattform support
- Enhanced error analysis for index
- additional tracking information for HTML- and PDF-output and
Batch processing
- DATA and INDEX capacity analysis inside of High-Used-RBA
- See ReadMe.pdf after installation for all new features
The listcat analysis tool:
- Extent analysis
- Space map analysis
- HALRBA/HUSRBA analysis
- Capacity analysis
The SNAP013 analysis tool:
This tool extracts Snap013 trace tables from a given hex dump. It searches the tables, rearranges the wrap area to the correct order of events and extracts/interprets the information in the trace entries.
INDEX analysis tool:
- Extensive index error analysis
- Single index record analysis
All 3 tools have the ability to access a z/VSE System directly if the z/VSE Connectors are available.
In order to install and use the Multi Instant Logic Analyzer for VSAM, you need a Java runtime environment (JRE) or a Java developers kit (JDK) 1.4 or higher. You can download JDKs/JREs for various platforms from IBM developerWorks or Sun Microsystems, Inc.

This tool provides an integrated Java front-end to download and try out shipped LE/VSE sample source programs, written in the COBOL, PL/I and C programming language. The related focus is with LE/VSE callable services which can be coded cross programming language. The major programming solution areas covered are:
Please note that a corresponding LE/VSE conforming compiler (COBOL/VSE, PLI/VSE and/or C/VSE) must be installed on z/VSE host to allow for program generation and execution (in the selected language).
Download and extract the ZIP file into a new directory (e.g. C:\jrun_le). A readme file (in HTML format) is contained in the ZIP file with further information and installation instructions.

IBM provides several server applications for use with z/VSE that are implemented in Java:
Users may wish to run such a server on an unattended Windows system. They may want to keep these server applications running even if no user is signed-on on Windows. The JavaService tool allows running a Java application as a Windows service in the background. It acts as a wrapper inbetween the Windows Service Control Manager and the Java Program.
