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."

"Batch smoothing our 4HRA and implementation of group capacity profiles has allowed us to run sub-capacity and lower our MLC."

"MainView has enabled me, in the past, to solve production problems faster, or even avoid them preemptively with warnings."

"Stability is probably the best out-of-the-box. Put it in, set it up, and you leave it alone. It works wonderfully."

"I can and interrupt what's going on, bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."

"The technical support is top notch; they have always been right there for us whenever we were needed, including the offer to be available on weekends during a recent upgrade if needed, and they are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable."

"When selecting a vendor, the most important thing is the ability to meet our needs, and CA does a very good job of that."

"It's definitely a very stable product."

"It alerts the operators when it is time to repair the communications and the IPLs."

"The benefits are the ability to do monitoring on your mainframe systems exactly the way you want to do it."

"It’s invaluable for expediting the shutdowns/IPLs of our z/OS LPARs and monitoring our z/OS LPARs for issues/problems."

More OPS/MVS Automation Intelligence pros

Cons

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

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

"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script."

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

"It needs to have more compatibility/interfaces to other vendors’ products."

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

"I think some of their built-in functions are short on functionality."

"The GUI interface could be improved, but that is coming."

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

"With stability, sometimes we do have problems with this product."

More OPS/MVS Automation Intelligence cons

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."
