WELCOME
NewEra Software is an industry leader in the repair, recovery, data erasure and integrity of z/OS systems. It has enlisted a worldwide team of distributors to market and support NewEra's product environments - Image Control Environment (ICE), The Controls Environment (TCE) and Stand Alone Environment (SAE).

ICE builds,evaluates and maintains baselines over time, reporting changes and areas of concern. Baselines include z/OS, JES2, JES3, VTAM, CICS, TCP/IP (including Profile, .DATA, Resolver, FTP, SMTP, Telnet and OMPRoute).

ICE INSPECTORS create Baselines during a "Virtual IPL" of any z/OS system. The Image FOCUS application houses the Inspectors.

The Controls Environment (TCE)
The Control Editor
The Control Editor extends the security of the installed External Security Manager (ESM) by providing users with a TSO/ISPF environment to control and manage access and changes to critical datasets. It will ensure that z/OS configuration baselines are maintained; configuration changes, both staged and dynamic, are identified; and changes to the policies that dictate the operation of your ESM (RACF, ACF2 and Top Secret) do not go unnoticed.

Fast DASD Erase for z/OS
Fast DASD Erase for z/OS is an operating system version of the proven Fast DASD Erase application found in Stand Alone Environment (SAE). It can be used while z/OS is up and allows the user to erase data that is no longer needed and potentially could be a security risk.

IPLCheck
IPLCheck is an integrated set of Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) "health checks" that evaluate z/OS configuration settings against 'Industry Best Practices' to pinpoint the causes of potential system initialization failures.

Stand Alone Environment (SAE) 
SAE has become the industry standard for the repair and recovery of large IBM systems - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS. Its Stand Alone mode of operation is absolutely critical during a disaster. It provides its own operating system environment and operates independent of release level.

SAE 14 components include:
Fast DASD Erase, which allows users to erase mission-critical and/or personal or health data at the end of a disaster recovery (DR) test .
Action Services, which provides complete access to all DASD devices and datasets to allow users to make system repairs. Its tool set includes edit, zap, browse, rename, save, delete, undelete and catalog list/alter.
Stand Alone Restore, which is the fastest way to restore a single dataset originally created using IEBCOPY, IEBGENER, DFSMSdss or FDR.
Image Services, which aids users in the repair of System Images by automatically isolating the components that comprise a specific Image.
Hardware Confirmation, which allows users to verify hardware installations without IPLing the system. It collects sense data at the master console and lets you know if your new hardware has been configured correctly.
