In day-to-day operations, you know how repetitive, manual, and even risky mainframe tasks can be. AFM (Advanced File Manager) was designed precisely to make file management in z/OS much simpler, faster, and more secure.
Imagine no longer having to waste time with complex commands for basic operations such as creating, moving, or deleting datasets. With AFM, you can do this intuitively, reducing the chance of errors.
In addition, it offers advanced file viewing and editing features directly on the mainframe, without the need for external tools, which streamlines your routine.
– Another important point: security. AFM is fully integrated with RACF and generates audit trails, ensuring that you know exactly who accessed or changed a particular file. This not only protects the environment, but also avoids problems with audits and compliance.
– And what you may like most: ease of implementation. Unlike heavy solutions from global vendors, AFM is quickly installed, requires little adaptation to the environment, and you can start using it in no time—without the need for extensive training.
In the end, AFM gives you more agility, control, and security without increasing the complexity of your work.
