About me

Mainframe Software Architect

Control-Program Engineer

Senior Software Engineer

Senior Systems Engineer

I am a freelance IT consultant.  My focus is in IBM mainframe system-level software development.  I am an architect, engineer, designer and developer of some mainframe system-level software for both commercial products and freeware since 1985.   My current project is developing and enhancing my own systems software products, zJOS-XDI, an integrated solution for z/OS total automation (EMS and workload scheduling).  

As a freelance, I also available for hire in any mainframe project.   However, as a system-level software engineer/developer with major expertise in OS  internals and assembler, I would more benefit to be hired in system-level software development related project in SCP area of z/OS (MVS, JES, TSO, SSI, DIV, dataspace, hyperspace, DFSMS, CICS etc.), z/VM (CMS, GCS, DCSS, etc.), z/Networking (VTAM, TCP/IP, IUCV, VMCF etc.), and even native, preemptive or stand-alone programming, and OS interface for language processor.   Besides, I also available to supply  mainframe HR.  Kindly check out my available services in mainframe freelance fields.   

In non-IT scope, my activities are in agroindustry.   Not many record i earned in this sector.    The only once i got so far, i have successfully developed semi traditional distillation machine to extract patchouli essential oil.   This machine needs only 6 hours to complete distillation process which normally about 10 to 12 hours.   Unfortunately, patchouli oil business is very unstable in local market.  

 

 

Special Records

zJOS-XDI(R) is a modern integrated mainframe automation solution package.   zJOS-XDI consists of 3 products, Sekar to automate actions against any system event, Puspa to automate workloads scheduling and AutoXfer to automate spool/report files distribution from mainframe to workstation computers.   On networked mainframes environment, combined Sekar and Puspa provide an integrated automation solution.  Event on any host can trigger actions on several hosts.   A job on any host can be triggered by several job events on several hosts.    All are manages centrally.   Such functions are very competitive against any other automation solution products in the world.  Since in fact only few independent software vendors (ISV) provide such solution, zJOS-XDI supposed to be very strategic products. 

Although zJOS-XDI package is a proven solution and look like a complete marketable product, it still needs some enhancement.   Based on my original plan, zJOS-XDI is not just an integrated solution for mainframes.  Rather its design is for enterprise environment.   By using agent technology i have completely prepared, zJOS-XDI is actually very potential to handle non-mainframe platforms to work integrally with mainframe servers in the enterprise environment.   By completing with Linux, OS/400, Unix and Windows agents, I believe zJOS-XDI will have much better future.  In fact, zJOS-XDI has been proven in 2 times benchmark against 2 famous vendors in Jakarta.  zJOS-XDI has a step ahead in scheduling method and automation scripting.   In workload scheduling method, zJOS-XDI uses workload pipelining and flexible CC multiple test to allow users draw their own workload schedule and recovery flows much more efficient and exactly as what they want.   In automation scripting, zJOS-XDI optionally allows users to program all possible event/actions scenario in a single Rexx module.   For users who don't like scripting, zJOS-XDI also offers total events automation without scripting.    Should you curious to prove it, please kindly download this demo and install it on your z/OS system.   Follow provided manuals to have it properly setup.   

Although in industry side is handled by individual corporation, which is I, currently zJOS-XDI is marketed locally in Indonesia by PT Sumbersolusindo Hitech and being evaluated in 3 of 6 mainframe sites in Jakarta.   Even in one of them is already in production system.   

As there are only 6 mainframe sites in Indonesia and only 3 of them which potentially targetable for zJOS-XDI, I don't see any good prospect for zJOS-XDI in Indonesia.   Since its launching in 2006, zJOS-XDI was proven that 3 of 6 mainframe sites are very interested.   Unfortunately, they also doubt for zJOS-XDI long term support as it has no corporate guarantee, since the only way I can manage it, is as an individual business.   To extend its business way as well as R&D team and facilities, need serious investment.   Even if all 6 sites become licensed users, total earned revenue won't suitable to setup "brand image" as they expect.   Therefore, the only way for zJOS-XDI to have good future, is either by partnership with or totally acquired by a solid software vendor who already have marketplace.   If you are interested to have sharing ownership or completely purchase zJOS-XDI, please let me know. You are very welcome!  Please send email to me or call me.

Intellectual Records

As an IT player with more than 20 years experience, certainly i have a number records. `Some can be categorized as intellectual records. which are 2 major areas: 

Systems solution software

During more than 20 years, a lot of systems software products have been made, include tens of local utilities, command processors, exit routines, some interface, some local subsystems functions, and even solution products.  Most of them were gone, because they were kept in legacy tapes and/or floppies which no longer supported.  Only few of them can be rescued and currently are placed in freeware page in this site and CBT as file 535 and 536.

Regardless they were rescued, three of them were solution products where each provides a solid set of functions to establish a unique mechanism for certain system management.   There are listed below together with 3 zJOS-XDI products.  

Publications

To complete my intellectual contribution, i wrote some article in many IT bulletines.  In 1995 i wrote 3 mainframe books explaining detail about mainframe architecture and technology in both theoretical and practical aspects.

1 zJOS/Sekar 
  Package zJOS-XDI
Function Integrated event manager solution
A subsystem with a set of service routines to intercept system events and execute user's defined action or set of actions.  In a networked z/OS and/or OS/390 hosts, users can define actions on certain host to be triggered by occurrence of event on either the same or other host in the network.

First released 2004
2 zJOS/Puspa
  Package zJOS-XDI
Function Integrated automatic job scheduler solution
A subsystem with a set of service routines to manage JES2-based jobs scheduling.  It intercepts job and job step status information to trigger other (successor) job in user's defined schedule flow.    In a networked z/OS and/or OS/390 hosts, Puspa capable to intercept job and job step status information on any host runs zJOS Agent.  This means, each scheduled job in Puspa can have predecessors and successors on any combined hosts.  Hence, users can define schedule crossing inter hosts in the network.

Education Records

Education background

Graduated as "Sarjana Statistika Komputasi" on December 1984, majoring in computer science and applied statistics from Department. of Statistics and Computing Science (currently separated onto Dept. of Statistics and Dept. of Computer Science) with minor of applied microclimatology from Dept. of Agro-meteorology and applied engineering for agro-industry from Dept. of Agricultural Engineering, Bogor Agricultural University (IPB).   

 

Family

My wife is Sari, and with her I have two daughters, Dewi and Dyah.   Dewi is 20 and she is learning computer science currently in 5th semester.   So far, her record in the university is not bad.   Dyah is 13 and in a junior high school.   She is still a good student which always in top one rank in the school.  She was even accelerated one year faster.   Her talent in math and her hobby in computer hopefully help her future.  Shown in the picture (from the left to right) Dyah, Sari and Dewi.  

 

Hobbies & Interests

My hobbies and interests include working on outdoor fields, farming, machinery, Javanese music (gendhing) and also interact with people in any social activities except for politics.  Computer programming is also my other hobby.  My side activities are kempo martial art and off-road (driving 4WD utility).  I am a member of black belt shorinji kempo club (yudansha kai).
