33.2.2 IBM OPTI-AUDIT for VSE
While the IBM OPTI-AUDIT product was originally developed for performing an
assessment of Year 2000 readiness, it is also an excellent tool to use when
performing the similar set of activities associated with a VSE to OS/390
conversion; that is, taking an inventory and assessment of the programs, data
sets and JCL that will be converted.

conversion; that is, taking an inventory and assessment of the programs, data
sets and JCL that will be converted.
IBM OPTI-AUDIT for VSE Version 1.1.0 is a new program offering that enables
you to perform a static analysis of VSE libraries and build an inventory of all
programs contained on your VSE system. This is a vital first step in your year
2000-readiness planning. IBM OPTI-AUDIT is a powerful tool designed to assist
you with your migration from an earlier VSE SP or ESA system to a current
VSE/ESA Version 2 system. It can also be used when converting from VSE/SP or
VSE/ESA system to OS/390.
