What is the VSM GUI?

The VSM GUI is a Web-based tool that lets you “point and click” instead of entering VTCS commands or running VTCS utilities. The VSM GUI consists of a World Wide Web (WWW) application and a web server to provide network connectivity for WWW browsers. The server component is a multitasking MVS HTTP content server that runs as an MVS started task.

The VSM GUI 6.2.0 supports all VTCS 6.0.0, 6.1.0 and 6.2.0 commands and utilities, including the CONFIG utility. It does not support the standalone RTV utility or the HSC commands and utilities.

The VSM GUI also lets you drive VTCS functions from the output of a command or utility. For example, you can run an MVC or VTV report, sort it by any column, then run VTCS operations against a selected MVC or VTV.

Similarly, you can run Query RTD, then right click on any of the RTDs listed on the response to bring up a menu that displays the Audit, Config, Decom, Query Config, Query RTD, and Vary RTD commands. You can then select a command and a web page for that command appears with the RTD field filled in with information for the RTD you selected.
