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

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

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

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

"OPS/REXX is valuable because it allows us almost unlimited flexibility in automating our system."

"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."

"It is an easy product to use and it is stable."

"Once automatic IPL has been defined, anyone can perform an IPL with very little intervention. We know that all of the components will be started correctly."

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

"Because we can define complex commands, the training of new operators is quicker. We can also put checks in place, that will prevent user errors."

"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."

Cons

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

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

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

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

"The further expansion of the mainframe teamcenter interface. Also, the web services support is something that I am looking into."

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

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

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

"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."

"Some of the command sequences are too long."

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."
