Since SAE runs outside of the active z/OS environment, it provides a safe space to inspect and correct configurations without impacting live systems.
SAE Benefits
Benefit 2: SAE provides Configuration Analysis
SAE can analyze and compare Image Package Files created by Image FOCUS, helping identify changes or errors that could affect IPL or system behavior.
Benefit 1: SAE Allows Independent System Access
SAE allows access to z/OS systems even when the main OS is unavailable, making it ideal for recovery, diagnostics, and maintenance.
