Inspect system configurations through a “virtual IPL” process that catches errors before they affect live systems.
Isolation for Safe Operations
SAE operates outside the main z/OS environment, providing a safe, isolated space for diagnostics, troubleshooting, and configuration management without impacting live systems.
Data Erasure
SAE provides a secure environment for erasing sensitive data from DASD volumes, ensuring compliance with data security requirements, particularly in Disaster Recovery (DR) scenarios.
Configuration Analysis and Comparison
SAE enables users to analyze and compare system configurations using Image Package Files, making it easier to detect changes, validate settings, and ensure system stability.
Independent System Access
SAE allows access to z/OS systems even when the main operating system is unavailable, facilitating system recovery and maintenance in offline situations.
