Good stability but it is lacking the ability to see historical information

We can only see online information but there isn't any historical data to see something that happened a few hours previous. We don't have the ability to access that information. Previously, with MainView, we could look back at information from two days before and get information. We could easily get information from Plexus. Now, we don't have a single screen to check which has been annoying. Compared to MainView, Tivoli is rubbish. We are forced to use this solution. We couldn't stay with MainView. I would like for it to be easier to check the system performance. It should have the ability to see historical data. We can't see the percentages to see the percentages of the CPU utilized. We should be able to see how much was used by our part of the system. Now, we have to continuously recalculate that information.

The ability to use command rules is great when our operators have repetitive tasks, but we'd like to automate off of different highlighted messages without actually knowing what the message is.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's stable enough. I haven't noticed any problems since it was installed."

"It's a very stable product. I very much like the SSM stuff in it. The rules engine, it's awesome."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

Cons

"We can't see the percentages to see the percentages of the CPU utilized. We should be able to see how much was used by our part of the system. Now, we have to continuously recalculate that information."

"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."

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

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

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

"Some of the command sequences are too long."

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

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