BMC MAINVIEW AutoOPERATOR for WebSphere MQ

Panel-driven REXX-free automation for IBM’s WebSphere MQ  

IT problem

IBM ‘s WebSphere MQ provides core capabilities needed to interconnect client/server applications and enhance business processing. It serves as critical middleware technology, linking multiple applications to process and deliver accurate information across and outside the organization. Any degradation or failure within the network cannot be tolerated. Data centers that rely on WebSphere MQ require solid automated recovery capabilities to quickly correct problems and minimize system downtime.

BMC solution

 MAINVIEW AutoOPERATOR for WebSphere MQ provides a powerful automation solution for correcting mainframe-based WebSphere MQ errors and failures that affect such components as queue managers, queues, channels, name lists and clusters. It simplifies application management across MQ environments. It provides easy generation of management event rules that provide comprehensive alerts, corrective actions to prevent an outage to key MQ environments. It’s an integrated member of the MAINVIEW family. This integration enables a swift transfer to problem analysis and correction using the appropriate management product, even on remote systems. The solution:

Features and benefits

  • Offers single system image and a single point of control to manage objects on an unlimited number of MQ environments. 
  • Reduces number of automation failures by using the panel-driven rules processor to automate MQ events 
  • Provides a centralized automation log for auditing purposes 
  • Streamlines operations by providing out of the box automation solutions for z/OS-based WebSphere MQ environments and fullyl integrated support of MQ commands 
  • Executes actions for instrumentation events for non-z/OS WebSphere MQ managers 
  • Moves messages from a system queue to an z/OS generation data set 
  • Provides performance and queue information from a single panel

Key differentiators

 

  • Generates alerts on events that happened during the MQ initialization phase even if MAINVIEW AutoOPERATOR for WebSphere MQ was not connected during that phase
  •  
  • Reduces automation cost by using High efficient, low CPU overhead automation rules without generating or using any REXX code  
  • Integrates with the MAINVIEW infrastructure to provide efficient 3270 interface and mainframe based intelligent Web interface, the same look and feel as all MAINVIEW monitoring products
  • Drives automation from any address using AOAnywhere API
  • Supports advanced cross-platform automation using BMC solutions; BMC Atrium Orchestrator, BMC Event Manager and BMC MAINVIEW AutoOPERATOR
  • Provides intelligent event management support using AutoOPERATOR MAINVIEW API, base notification decisions on the full spectrum of MAINVIEW monitoring metrics
