WAVV Requirement Form

 

Date: 3/15/2010                                           Requirement #:  WAVV201011

Product Name:    VSAM Redirector Map Tool   Product Release# (or state “current”): Current

Vendor Name:     IBM

 

Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)New functionality for VSAM Redirector Map Tool

Detailed Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)

 

I would like the MapTool used with the VSAM Redirector to more closely match the MapperConfigGui tool in letting the user select the new data types, options, patterns, codepages, onerror…  Also like the MapperConfigTool , I would like the MapTool to have the option to allow the user to send the mapping information to the database and create the database itself instead of using the DOS prompts.

                                                                                            

Priority: (Select one: Urgent - High - Medium - Low) Medium

Requested Completion Date: (When? Examples: 3 months, 1 year, Next Release) Next Release

Requirement Type: (Select one: Acceptability - Compatibility/Migration - Ease of Use - Feature/Function - Performance - Reliability/Availability/Serviceability - Packaging - Interoperability)

Ease of Use

Business Justification: (Why? Non-technical business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your company, and the vendor and others?  Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc.   Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)

 

This would greatly decrease the time needed to create mapping definitions and the associated database.  It would also help to eliminate errors by having the GUI populate the options and make sure they are in the correct format.  This should also help reduce setup and runtime errors that result in support requests to IBM.

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)

 

     

Impact: (Optional) (How will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)
