Systemware Xptr – The PowerServer
Automated Report and Output Management for the Mainframe
For over forty years, Systemware has played an important role in the digital journey from document management to enterprise content management (ECM), and today – as an industry leading content services provider (ECS).
In the early years, as the need for content management spread throughout enterprises, Systemware identified important customer requirements that extended beyond the scope of our original document management solution, JHS (Job History System) – the first of its kind available on the market to allow visibility, management, and reporting for mainframe job SYSOUT and SYSLOGs. JHS served as the foundation for the development of Xptr.
Xptr was introduced by Systemware in 1988. Xptr was our first IBM z/OS solution to manage enterprise mainframe content, known today as Content Server. Xptr redefined enterprise report and output management for the mainframe and was created to address changing market dynamics and expand system capabilities for the increasing needs of our customers. Before Xptr, reports were generated, printed, and manually distributed. The increased demand for more timely, accurate, and secure information was met – and exceeded, with Xptr.
Xptr can be deployed natively on the mainframe in the IBM zSystems environment or on distributed systems such as Windows and Linux.
Advanced Capture and Retrieval
Multi-threaded capture and retrieval capabilities to efficiently manage large volumes of content.
In-house Support for Multiple Environments
Onsite mainframe, cloud, and distributed platform experts dedicated to your cause, 24×7 for IBM zSystems, Linux, Unix, Microsoft Windows.
Report Bundling and Document Distribution

Efficient Archiving
Report archiving is fully automated with support for a hierarchy of storage media, ensuring reports are always available to view or reprint.
Legacy Archive Processor (LAP)
The LAP provides access to reports archived by other ECM solutions for cost savings during a content conversion project.
Print Queues
Allows users to reprint archived content using background processing directly from the archive media.
Work Queues
Facilitate information research and customer support applications by placing document versions requiring action into individual or group work queues.
Output Flexibility
Allows report distribution through any device or medium, including full support for AFP and DJDE printers.
Global Index
Global indexing bridges the gap between applications and expands the boundaries of information searching across reports.
