- PDF manual
- Program Directory
- Product overview
  HCL Z Asset Optimizer is built on the concept of remote and central mainframe components which work together to produce reports on z/OS® mainframe products and their usage. This section provides you with a high-level overview of the HCL Z Asset Optimizer core architecture.
- Planning for deployment
  Before you deploy HCL Z Asset Optimizer, consider which deployment option is best suited to your environment.
- Implementing deployment scenarios
  Most implementations of HCL Z Asset Optimizer are based on one of the common deployment scenarios. An example is provided for implementing each of these common deployment scenarios with a Db2® Repository database. You can adapt an example for use with an SQLite Repository database.
- Installing and customizing HCL Z Asset Optimizer
  The product installation involves downloading the product and available updates, preparing the database, and configuring and populating a test database. After verifying that all components are correctly installed, you duplicate the test database to create a production database where you automate data collection and import tasks.
- Migrating to HCL Z Asset Optimizer 9.1
  When you migrate to the latest version of HCL Z Asset Optimizer 9.1 from an earlier version, you must convert existing data to be compatible with your new environment.
- Collecting and importing data with HCL Z Asset Optimizer
  HCL Z Asset Optimizer includes programs that collect system and usage data, import, filter, and match this data, update the Repository tables, and make the data available for review and query.
- Reporting with the Analyzer
  The primary reporting facility in HCL Z Asset Optimizer is the Analyzer.
  - Analyzer prerequisites
    The Analyzer uses the Db2® Call Library Interface (ODBC/CLI), also used by the Inquisitor Import, Usage Import and other batch components, and the z/OS® socket application programming interface. For the SQLite database, the Analyzer uses an internal ODBC interface.
  - Analyzer JCLLIB and PARMLIB members
    Several JCLLIB and PARMLIB members are used when you run the Analyzer to generate reports.
  - Running the Analyzer in online mode
    The primary reporting facility in HCL Z Asset Optimizer is the Analyzer. You can use the Analyzer in online mode to view reports, run queries, and drill down to related reports.
    - Analyzer communication port
      The Analyzer communication port is defined by using the HTTPPORT setting.
    - Analyzer inactivity timeout
      The Analyzer communication inactivity timeout is defined by using the INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT setting.
    - Analyzer security
      You can view Analyzer reports in a web browser, such as Firefox, and you can communicate with the Analyzer utility to perform interactive queries.
    - Analyzer BASIC security
      HZASANP1 in the PARMLIB defines basic user ID security settings for running the Analyzer.
    - Analyzer SYSTEM and SYSTEM-TLS security
      HZASANP2 in the PARMLIB defines the security settings for running the Analyzer.
    - SSL Certificates
      When the Analyzer is running with SYSTEM=SECURITY, you must have an SSL Certificate defined in your SAF/RACF® security system. You can either generate your own certificate, or connect to an existing certificate.
    - Online login to the Analyzer
      With the Analyzer reporting utility, you can log in with a browser to gain access to the Analyzer Asset, Discovery, and Administration reports and to any Custom reports that you create.
