- PDF manual
- Program Directory
- Product overview
  IBM Z Software Asset Management is built on the concept of remote and central mainframe components which work together to produce reports on z/OS® mainframe products and their usage. This section provides you with a high-level overview of the IBM Z Software Asset Management core architecture.
- Planning for deployment
  Before you deploy IBM Z Software Asset Management , consider which deployment option is best suited to your environment.
- Implementing deployment scenarios
  Most implementations of IBM Z Software Asset Management are based on one of the common deployment scenarios. An example is provided for implementing each of these common deployment scenarios with a Db2® Repository database. You can adapt an example for use with an SQLite Repository database.
- Installing and customizing IBM Z Software Asset Management
  The product installation involves downloading the product and available updates, preparing the database, and configuring and populating a test database. After verifying that all components are correctly installed, you duplicate the test database to create a production database where you automate data collection and import tasks.
- Migrating to IBM Z Software Asset Management 9.1
  When you migrate to the latest version of IBM Z Software Asset Management 9.1 from an earlier version, you must convert existing data to be compatible with your new environment.
- Collecting and importing data with IBM Z Software Asset Management
  IBM Z Software Asset Management includes programs that collect system and usage data, import, filter, and match this data, update the Repository tables, and make the data available for review and query.
- Reporting with the Analyzer
