Libra helps you to overcome the limitations of native VSEⁿ library system facilities – which are restricted to batch access – by delivering comprehensive library maintenance and data management from a user-friendly online interface.
Libra provides flexible, multi-environment library system access from CICS, VTAM and CMS and offers additional functions for more efficient management of your data, with greater operational control.
Online library access
Libraries, sub-libraries and members are instantly accessible and can be displayed, updated and deleted as required.
Extended librarian functions
All standard librarian functions are available as online commands rather than being invoked from batch; additional productivity features include sorting, tagging and filtering of members.
Data management editor
A full screen editor provides powerful functions for data management, and integrity management prevents multiple write access to members.
Secure job submission
A job submission facility increases operational control and flexibility by allowing jobs to be sent directly to the VSEⁿ system.
Comprehensive security
Security profiles govern system access and scope of use for different users; access can be secured down to member and command level, providing a high level of flexibility and control.
