CFS – the power packet for BS2000 users
Bulk processing of files, library elements etc. using a large selection of powerful functions. Übersicht

Unified interface
With CFS you can handle
Files
Library elements (PLAM / FMS / LMR)
Job variables
Archive directory entries
Tasks, Memory Pools, UTM/DCAM applications, Sub-systems, VM-sessions,
Join entries, User Groups,
Account numbers,
Mail Addresses, Logon Protections (Secos), FTAC-Profiles

Minimizes user input
No need to enter long file names, commands or command operands.
When processing data objects, only short (one to five character) "Action Codes" need to be entered. Overview Action-Codes

CFS speeds up your work
With CFS you have no longer to fiddle around with complex SDF-commands and parameter structures, or special utility programs with different statement syntax, e.g. Job variable commands, BACL commands, library administration utilities LMS, FMS, LMR, as well as administrator-specific utilities such as DPAGE, SPCCNTRL, HELGA, SM2,.....

Procedure language for automatic Batch jobs
All functions can also be run in batch mode.
The CFS procedure language can also be used to control non-CFS components, for e.g. automated SAP/UTM transactions in batch.

Detailed information
CFS provides the system administrator with vital information quickly and directly; information which is otherwise not available or very difficult to obtain. E.g.: Which TSNs (programs) have opened a particular locked file and what is the current content of the file?

Interactive help
Context-sensitive help is available from anywhere in the program.
Windows Help files with hyperlinks are available on the PC.
In addition to the CFS Help function, common system tables can also be accessed, e.g.
DCAM Return codes, SVC numbers with their respective macro names, EBCDIC/ASCII conversion tables

Secure your software investment
OPG Online-Programmierung GmbH has been developing and enhancing system software tools since 1977.
CFS has been installed in over 200 large mainframe sites since 1981 in banks, administration and other diverse areas.

Version-independent
CFS is constantly being improved, and currently runs under OSD V1.0 to V8.0.
CFS offers the same interface and environment under all OSD versions.

User-specific installation
CFS can be customised for individual users as well as applying company-wide options.
A number of exit modules can be used and modified.

Data security
The system administrator can activate security measures at different levels, apply installation-specific or user group-specific checks.

Training
In order for employees to get the most from CFS, training courses are offered, either as scheduled courses at the Siemens Training Center in Munich, or as customised in-house courses.

FIND/REWR (Rewrite) function

Job Report System
Start DO procedures as Enter jobs, with prompting for the parameters.
Monitor running jobs. The SYSOUT listing will be displayed when the job terminates.
Jobs not started by CFS may also be monitored.

Documentation
Create info text for files and library elements.
Display the info text on screen e.g. documentation of DO procedures.
Search all files for a particular string in the documentation text.

Event Scheduler
Display a monthly calender from which personal appointments can be created and queried
Create date-specific to-do lists.

All CFS-functions can be automated using procedures
All functions can be executed within DO or Enter procedures.
CFS can be integrated into production jobs and also into the BS2000 startup.
BS2000 DO procedures
CFS dialog procedures

Connections
Up to 10 simultaneous connections to $DIALOG, $CONSOLE, $VMCONS, UTM, SAP or
DCAM applications running on any host, copy screen contents to hardcopy files,
capture screen output and keyboard input for replay later (regression test).

Automatic Console operation
Message filter, automatic message answering, time- or result-controlled console input, logging to hardcopy-printer (also for $VMCONS).

Automatic operation of dialog processes
Execution of UTM or SAP transactions in a batch process.
E.g. query status information of dialog processes per transaction code and log the answers to a hardcopy file.
