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."

"If something breaks and it goes down when it's not supposed to, automation brings it right back up."

"Valuable features include: SSM, which provides for orderly startup and shutdown; OPSLOG, which enables filtering by message-id, and/or jobname(s); Rules, as OPS/REXX interface streamlines deployment, interfaces easily with JES2 and z/OS."

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

"The performance of it is beyond exceptional. It is probably one of the best products that I have ever worked with. It is easy to use, comprehensive, and can perform almost any task you need it to."

"The documentation is simple, easy to follow, and use. A limited, first-time systems programmer can do it, in that it is out-of-the-box almost functional."

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

"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."

Cons

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

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

"The GUI interface could be improved, but that is coming. They are working on that."

"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."

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

"Some of the command sequences are too long."

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

"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."

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

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

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."
