Dynamic Element Inspection - Pinpoints changes in the LnkLst, LpaLst and ApfLst that have not been updated in the system configuration.
System Component Inspection - Allows for the inspection of individual system components. Within the Operating System, for example, individual z/OS Parmlib Members maybe inspected.
New z/OS Release Analysis - Isolates areas in your current operating system configuration that will need to change in order to become functional when used with a new release of z/OS.
Controlled Image Monitoring - Fully automates the interval inspection of Controlled Images and the reporting of results.
Blueprinting & Change Detection - Blueprints the z/OS configuration for Controlled Images, detecting and reporting changes
Subsystem Recovery - Provides access to ISPF system repair functions when TSO is not available. This Image FOCUS Core function is often called 'NOTSO".
