IT System Analyst - Lead at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

One of the things we've been wanting to do is to be able to automate off of different highlighted messages without actually knowing what the message is. For example, we'd like to be able to create some generic automation when we receive a warning or alert message to allow, if nothing else, the automation team to know so we can contact the product owner. If there's something we can do to automate or expedite notification to the proper people, we want to try to do that.

Senior Systems Administrator 2 at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees

We're missing the boat. We don't have a graphical display and we need something beyond just pretty PC pictures for the other departments. As a manager, I would love to have a dashboard that shows the problem and that the automation is taking care of it. The systems management and the computer operators would love to have a pretty graphic to display everything when it went down and to resolve the issue. The graphical interfaces need to improved. It's good for a technician. However, when I have to go and talk to my management or a director or somebody about it, it is very hard to explain. It would be so much better if there was just a picture or a dashboard showing the problems of what is breaking or what is wrong, perhaps a type of roadmap during the initial load.

Sr. Analyst/Technology Infrastructure at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees

I just installed version 12.3, which actually already has a number of new features. It's going to make it easier for some of our new users. I'm old-school, I learned it the old way. I actually want to go back and implement it and start doing things the new way. As I need to train people, it's going to make it easier for them and make the learning curve much shorter. The new release addressed some shortcomings of the product. It was old-school. The learning curve was a little bit long in the beginning, but it's really come a long way.

Valuable Features

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

Room for Improvement

"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better.CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."
"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."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
