DESCRIPTION
Are your mainframe application developers lost in a complex and bewildering jungle of Endevor processor groups? If so, now you can tame the jungle and bring back some sanity and order with a brand new Endevor utility. And the best part is – the new utility is absolutely free with your current Endevor maintenance and support agreement from CA Technologies, so there is no need to purchase a 3rd party product and there’s no need to write your own utility. If you already bought a 3rd party product, then consider dropping that product, stop paying maintenance and save your company some money today. If you’ve already written your own utility, then save yourself some time, energy, and hassle and stop worrying about maintaining your own program and having to update or re‐test your utility every time you upgrade Endevor.

It’s a Jungle out there
• Processor Groups can get ridiculously complex• Which Processor Group to use?• Clone another program / user same processor group• This is the way we always do it!!!• Processor Group descriptions• Exponential growth• Cryptic names
There has to be a better way!

A Simpler Method• Remove compile options from processor group name• Suggested Naming Convention
1 ‐ 3 Language type (ASM, COB, CII, etc.)4 Database environment (DB2, IMS, etc.)5 Operating environment (Batch, CICS, etc.)6 Output type (load, object, pds, etc.)
• Specify COBOL options with CBL PROCESS• Purchase 3rd party utility programs

Announcing CONPARMX• New Endevor Processor Utility
– PTF: RO14693 – CONPARMX / CONPARMS– Technical Bulletin: TEC513119
• Reduce processor complexity and reduce number of processor groups– Multi‐level Option members– Eliminate the need to create and update a large number of
Processor Groups– Option members can be monitored and tracked
