ColorGuard™ Speaks Volumes for CA Top Secret® z/OS!
Access Solutions, Inc.
TSSadmin Express™ works alongside Top Secret® for z/OS to simplify, speed and improve TSS support and administration.
What is ColorGuard™?
ColorGuard™ is a passive yet highly effective feature of TSSadmin Express™, the virtual assistant that helps improve productivity of support and administration of CA Top Secret® z/OS. ColorGuard™ improves your comprehension and speeds/simplifies the task of scanning complex TSS command output. How? It guides your eyes to the important aspects of TSS LIST, WHOHAS and other displays and helps you to more quickly and easily focus on the item(s) you need. And in case you are hurried or distracted and have tunnel vision for only the specific item you are seeking, ColorGuard™ helps call your attention to important details that you may otherwise have missed. Once you experience ColorGuard™, the value is clear: there’s no desire to go back to seeing “all red” in the native display.
Solves A Problem That You Didn't Even Know You Had
Most administrators are just used to the process of scanning the complex display of TSS output, and have never really considered that it can be simplified. "It is what it is", right?
When scanning for items of significance that blend in, the mental thought process can be described as an intricate series of steps that involve both focused attention and visual processing.
First, the administrator must identify what they are looking for and establish a mental image or representation of the item they are seeking. This image serves as a template or guide for the scanning process.
Next, the administrator must scan the display systematically, using a combination of focused attention and peripheral vision to detect any items that match the mental image they have created. This process requires constant mental effort and focus, as the individual must maintain the mental image in their working memory while continuously processing visual information from the display.
As the administrator scans the display, they must also evaluate each item they encounter to determine whether it is relevant or significant. This involves comparing the item to the mental image they have created, and making a judgment about whether it is a match or not.
Throughout the scanning process, the administrator must also manage their attention, prioritizing certain areas or features of the display that are more likely to contain the item they are seeking, while filtering out distractions or irrelevant information.
Overall, scanning a complex display for items of significance requires a complex interplay of cognitive processes, including attention, working memory, visual processing, and decision-making. It can be mentally taxing and time-consuming, but with a little bit of help, administrators can improve their efficiency and accuracy in this task.
