Works

The service level and automated capacity manager functions allow us to control priorities, support SLA's and manage our 4HRA and reduce MLC for some software bills.

There currently is a WUI that allows an operator a single pane of glass to see how TM is performing to meet service policies within a JESMAS environment. This is a new feature and multiple individuals have expressed desire to not only see real time monitoring, but the ability to historically go back at least several hours or possibly an entire day to review history.

Automation has improved alerts and file handling but script-based setup still needs simplification

OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence is the automation tool I use. I think OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence is good for creating complex rules because it's coding, but it takes time to learn how to use it. OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence works well if you know the syntax very well and you have experience in creating scripts or REXX syntax; it would be very good and is a good tool, but it takes time to learn, so that is for experienced staff to work with. I would rate the product a six from one to ten. I cannot think of any additional features in the next release of OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Enabled me to solve production problems faster or even avoid them preemptively with warnings."

"The integration of IMS commands is very useful, because you do not have to switch to another tool to problem solve solutions."

"The service has been wonderful. I like the people that I have had to deal with. The process is very straightforward. I call or use the website."

"It's very flexible. You can customize what you need to, which is good. For example, you can do your own coding inside the tool, make your own scripting tooling."

"It reduces the number of repetitive motions required by a human to respond to the system."

"It allows us to respond faster to issues. If there are issues that come out, we're able to capture a message and alert somebody about it."

"With the automation pieces we can bring this region up or take this region down, and it allows us to always meet our time critical requirements."

"Their technical support is incredible, immediately responsive, and even if it is not updated to Level 2 support sometimes, they chip in providing more detailed answers and options to fix the problem."

"The follow-up surprised me. Making sure that I am happy with what I have gone to them on. They will call after I have made changes and verify that I am happy with the changes that I did have to make. If it did not fix the complete problem, they go back over it until I am satisfied."

"It's very secure, because it's a legacy application."

Cons

"An expansion for distributed systems would be great, but probably not workable."

"More visualisation and support for mobile devices would be good."

"It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it."

"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."

"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."

"My impressions on OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence is that it's quite difficult to use, as it relies mainly on the coding syntax and doesn't provide an easy-to-use GUI."

"Performing a stop/restart of OPS/MVS could be a little smoother. Without special coding, some undesired tasks will be started and some necessary tasks will be stopped if we have to bounce OPS/MVS during the day."

"Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions."

"It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process."

"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you already use other products from BMC, you might be able to get a package deal from BMC's sales department."
