Product Overview

Xpediter/XChange is a z/OS-based tool designed to simulate date and time conditions for application testing. It operates within an LPAR and is dependent on z/OS, potentially requiring specific subsystems. The architecture likely involves configuration files for defining date and time simulations.

It may expose APIs for integration with automated testing frameworks, allowing programmatic control of the simulated date and time. The main components likely include a simulation engine, a configuration interface, and logging/monitoring capabilities. These components communicate through internal z/OS mechanisms.

Xpediter/XChange integrates with existing testing frameworks, providing a controlled environment for testing date-sensitive applications. Alternatives include Rocket ValidDate, TICTOC, and Hourglass, but Xpediter/XChange is specifically designed for z/OS. The tool's administrative interfaces likely include a command-line interface (CLI) or a graphical user interface (GUI) for configuration and monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Xpediter/XChange do?

Xpediter/XChange is a tool that enables testing of applications under different date and time conditions without modifying the actual system clock. It simulates specific dates and times, which is useful for testing date-sensitive logic.

Is this a system, application, or tool?

Xpediter/XChange is a tool designed for testing and debugging applications. It provides a controlled environment to simulate various date and time scenarios.

What types of organizations use this?

Organizations that rely on date-sensitive processing, such as financial institutions, insurance companies, and government agencies, commonly use Xpediter/XChange. Any organization that needs to ensure its applications function correctly under different date and time conditions can benefit from this tool.

When should we consider Xpediter/XChange?

A company should consider using Xpediter/XChange when it needs to thoroughly test applications that depend on date and time calculations. This is especially important when dealing with month-end, year-end, or other date-specific processing requirements.

What are the alternatives to Xpediter/XChange?

Alternatives to Xpediter/XChange include other date simulation tools such as Rocket ValidDate, TICTOC, Hourglass, DAT - Date Ager Tool, and Simulate 2000. These tools provide similar capabilities for testing date-sensitive applications.
