Report for System Information regarding zCentric workstations in IWSz

For ABNAMRO client, that has hundreds of zCentric workstations, a periodic report is required for System Information regarding zCentric workstations. That is the information you can see in 5.5 dialogue in IWSz (ISPF) with the "I" line command.

E.g. for 1 workstation:

Work station : ZCS1 zCentric WS

Destination : ZCEN0037 HTTP

Code page : IBM-037

Hostname : VM00002463.SOLON.PRD

Port number : 31114

System Information:

Operating system name : WINDOWS

Operating system level: 6.2.9200

Agent version : 9.5.0

Agent fixpack level : 2

Default JOBREC values:

JOBUSR : SOLON\TA0418

JOBPWD : Y

JOBTYPE :


It is undoable to make such a report manually by checking each workstation individually and copy and paste the information in an excel or anything. We want to check the agents versions and FPs in 1 overview on periodic base (weekly or bi-weekly).


Note: In DWC there is not even this possibility to get the System Information! It should be avaiable also there and also a report should be able to be created in DWC
