Software offers user interface for SCLM administration.
Press Release Summary:
SCLM Administrator Toolkit v2.1 performs library and software configuration management for z/OS® platform. Accessible from Eclipse-based graphical interface or host-based ISPF panels, administrator functions guide users through creating and configuring new projects as well as modifying, cloning, building, rebuilding, and deleting existing SCLM-based projects. Wizards help create language definitions, build SCLM projects, and migrate existing assets into SCLM project.

Overview
IBM Software Configuration and Library Manager (SCLM) performs both library and software configuration management for the z/OS® platform. This industry-standard SCM tool ships as part of z/OS. Add-on components such as IBM Breeze for SCLM, IBM Enhanced Access Control for SCLM, IBM Merge Tool, and IBM SCLM Suite Administrator Workbench have been developed over the years in order to assist developers to easily approve packages, implement augmented security controls, run three-way merges, and simplify the administration of SCLM-based projects.
New features in our Administrator Workbench (renamed IBM SCLM Administrator Toolkit) and the new IBM Developer Toolkit, now offer SCLM developers and administrators an easy-to-use, Eclipse-based interface. Both products can be installed either as stand-alone products or as plug-ins to existing IBM Eclipse-based tools such as Rational® Application Developer for WebSphere® Software (formerly known as WebSphere Studio Application Developer) or WebSphere Developer for zSeries® (formerly known as WebSphere Studio Enterprise Developer).
SCLM Administrator Toolkit offers a set of tools that makes defining and maintaining SCLM projects simpler and easier. The administrator functions are accessible from either an Eclipse-based graphical interface or traditional host-based ISPF panels. These administrator functions help guide users through functions such as creating and configuring new projects, modifying, cloning, building and rebuilding (allowing the original source structure of objects to be maintained), and deleting existing SCLM-managed projects.
Wizards are also available to help create language definitions, build SCLM projects, migrate existing assets into an SCLM project, and create architecture definitions (either manually or by importing them from an existing load module or JCL). A GUI is also available for managing Enhanced Access Control (EAC) for SCLM functions.
