2. Preamble
In that file wer are using the expression “Automic” (former “UC4”).
Examples, parameters, technical expressions, etc. may still use the old expression “UC4” instead of “Automic”.

3. What is XINFO?
A complete cross referencing tool for reporting and to analyze data from a wirde variety of systems of the datacenter:
XINFO
Assembler, C, Cobol, PL/I, Java, …
JCL, Script, CICS, DB2, IMS, SMF, …
Automic, CA7, Control-M TWS, Zeke, …

4. What is XINFO?
XINFO is an IT information system. It enables you to cross reference data from various systems.
XINFO analyzes your Automic definitions
XINFO analyzes z/OS, UNIX und Windows data: JCL, job and programm run times, etc.
XINFO analyzes SAP Systems
XINFO loads the result into a database
XINFO has dialogs to query and visualize the data

6. Typical Questions
A major part of daily work consists of gathering information. XINFO enables you to acess that information. Some typical questions are:
Which successors has a Job?
Which jobs run on which Agents?
What is the average runtime of a job?
Which Jobs are not longer used?
Where is a SYNC used?
When did the Job run last time?
Which Jobs are inactive?
What is the critical Path?

7. Who needs XINFO?
Everyone, who is involved in batch production, especially:
Production Planning
System Administators
Applicatin Programming
Project Groups (Merger, Migration, Implementation) …

9. XINFO and Automic XINFO is a useful Automic add-on and offers:
Universal job netplans (flowcharts), through all JobPlans. You can analyze all dependencies at job level.
Fast and powerfil search function. You can combine all properties of all objects. Helps to:
Do some evalutations like “which jobs run on server xy?” (even if the host name is set by a variable)
Automatic check your naming standards and rules
“unlimited“ job run time information, to discharge the Automic Database
Easy to use: Enables everybody to get Automic information

10. XINFO and Automic The XINFO Automic Interface analyzes following Data:
Object definitions: JobPlan, jobs, file transfer, events, etc. for all platforms
Pre-Script, script, post-script including script-functions and variables (at z/OS optional output of the JCL “as it will run“)
Schedules
Sync usage
SAP Variants in Automic Jobs
Statistics, job run times
Forecast (no own XINFO forecast)
Activities
Revision reports
