IT organizations must ensure high availability of systems and key sub-systems to respond to the accelerating requirements fueled by the Internet economy. Meeting this demand requires advanced automation, problem analysis, and correction, all performed with reduced operations resources.
BMC Software solution
MAINVIEW AutoOPERATOR is a fully integrated BMC Software product family that provides tools, techniques, and applications to improve both productivity and availability. With MAINVIEW AutoOPERATOR products, many data center tasks can be automated through the use of Rules, EXECs, timer facilities, and command interfaces.
MAINVIEW AutoOPERATOR provides solutions to many problems that are common across data centers.
The MAINVIEW AutoOPERATOR product family is completely integrated, from installation through online usage and Rules. For example, an MQSeries event Rule can issue a CICS or MVS command, if the corresponding MAINVIEW AutoOPERATOR product is active. And new MAINVIEW AutoOPERATOR products can be added into an existing configuration without reinstalling the existing products.
All MAINVIEW AutoOPERATOR product options provide
- a simple, non-procedural Rules interface to automate event handling
- the ability to run advanced automation routines written in REXX
- ALERTs to e-mail, pagers, and SNMP managers by means of easy-to-use sample EXECs
- integration with the MAINVIEW monitor products and MAINVIEW Alarm Manager, as well as PATROL® for SAP Solutions and PATROL Enterprise Manager
Automation
MAINVIEW AutoOPERATOR provides a simple, form-driven Rules interface that enables you to select and respond to events. You can use REXX EXECs to create advanced automation Rules.

Integration
MAINVIEW AutoOPERATOR is completely integrated with the MAINVIEW monitoring products; they use the same interface and installation procedures. This seamless integration enables you to correct problems before they cause costly outages.
MAINVIEW AutoOPERATOR uses bidirectional integration with IBM SA/390 and NetView products.
MAINVIEW AutoOPERATOR AOAnywhere uses TSO and batch interfaces to access AutoOPERATOR subsystems across the sysplex.
ALERT management
MAINVIEW AutoOPERATOR manages ALERTs for multiple mainframe systems. It supports single point-of-exception management with unique ALERT consolidation and grouping features. Features include automatic ALERT aging, automatic ALERT escalation, and ALERT retention across system restarts. The Continuous State Manager™ ensures that important systems and subsystems are available when key applications need them.
MAINVIEW AutoOPERATOR compares a desired state against the actual state of the system and subsystems and uses the exception mode to show objects that differ in the actual state and desired states.
Operator displays
