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.

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.

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

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

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

"MainView has enabled me, in the past, 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."

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

"The benefit is that the ROI, since it's 35 years old, is coming back over and over and over."

"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."

"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."

"For what it was produced for, it's an excellent product; it's done everything that we wanted to do with the product and more, which has been a really big help for us."

"It's definitely a very stable product."

"The ease of use and operations more than makes up for the licensing cost."

"We really do need this product, we have the necessity now because we have implemented for so long that we can't function without this product."

"For the mainframe it's a really good automation tool, it's been really solid for what we needed it for, and it's been flexible and scalable across the enterprise."

Cons

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

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

"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."

"Compared to MainView, Tivoli is rubbish."

"Some of the commands are long."

"It was a complex setup in the mainframe environment."

"I think, for me, I’d like to see more of its web base."

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

"There are, however, still some restrictions with sysplex vars as far as which kinds of rules you can use them in, which is also the case for OPSHFI vars."

"The mainframe TSO side still displays green screens."

"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."
