Just give me the assessment result
Type what you need; get the upload-ready file - no mainframe knowledge required.
A business or technical-management user who owns an outcome
The trigger. “I need the software/hardware assessment input for our renewal discussion. Produce the scan file I can upload.”
The old way
They cannot do it themselves. They file a request and wait on a sysprog, who runs the full relay. Version drift lands hardest here. If the toolkit is back-level, the business user has no way to diagnose it. A silent failure becomes a guaranteed support ticket and a stall of several days on a business conversation that has a deadline.
The Flow way
On the generate screen they type the goal. Flow assembles the Environmental/Capacity scan flow and runs it end-to-end on Play, returning the upload-ready file.
The toolkit is fetched and pinned automatically, so the back-level trap that would have stranded a non-technical user cannot fire. If a run does fail, it fails visibly and immediately. It is never silent, and it does not surface weeks later.
Payoff
| Old way | Flow way | |
|---|---|---|
| Who can run it | Sysprog only | The business user, self-service |
| Time to result | Request, queue, days | Prompt, Play, minutes |
| Version drift | Worst case: undiagnosable | Can’t happen quietly |
