Abstract: A method, system, and computer-usable medium are disclosed for managing software product information in a z/OS environment. Product information associated with a software product is determined and then processed to generate product tag information. A System Status Index (SSI) attribute is generated with a unique identifier signifying that the SSI attribute comprises SSI product tag information. The SSI product tag information is then associated with the SSI attribute with the unique identifier. The z/OS environment is then scanned for SSI attributes. Those SSI attributes comprising a unique identifier are processed to read their associated SSI product tag information. The product tag information is then processed to generate software product information, which is then stored in a repository of software product information.

Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for managing software product information in a z/OS environment. Information associated with a software product is processed to generate product tag information in the product's load module data set. The product tag information is variously embedded in a z/OS load module file, IDR DATA associated with a z/OS load module file, or in an extra z/OS Control Section (CSECT). Product information discovery operations are then performed on the product tag information to acquire associated product information. A z/OS load module file, IDR DATA associated with a z/OS load module file, or an extra z/OS CSECT is scanned for product tag information. If discovered, it is extracted and then processed to generate associated product information, which is then stored in a repository of software product information.
