There is nowhere on the system a single list of all applications installed on a given mainframe -- unless your site support group put together one. However, they would know what is installed and so they would be the ones to contact for an answer to your question, an enrico has told you.

Hello,

Someone knows which product licenses are being paid for. This is often a group known as "Purchasing".

Unfortunately, not everything that has been paid for is installed and available for use. . .

As the others have mentioned, your site support group is where to ask.

I think the requester was looking for "Start Menu=> All programs" list similiar in Windows.

USually you need ask around, look for documentation on how to start apps on mainframes. In my system here, you need to trigger REXX panels that would have option lists of apps -vendor & internal - that could then be selected.

Hello, I dont know if this may benefit the TS in finding info about JDBC, but sharing it for benifit of others.
Computer associates provide a REXX to show the list of CA products installed on an LPAR, the versions and the locations.
