BMC MainView AutoOPERATOR Access NV

Communication bridge between NetView and BMC MainView AutoOPERATOR Family

IT problem

Organizations must update their automation solutions as higher demands are placed on IT departments to cut cost while meeting ever accelerating business requirements. The ability to satisfy these two often conflicting demands requires integration between automation products.

BMC solution

The BMC MainView AutoOPERATOR Access for NetView provides direct communication (bridge) between IBM’s NetView solution and BMC’s MainView AutoOPERATOR family. This enables NetView and BMC MainView AutoOPERATOR to send, retrieve, and act upon information shared between them. This bridge also enables a NetView emulator within MainView AutoOPERATOR providing NetView access from a TSO, ISPF, VTAM, or EXCP terminal session. It also contains a full function REXX and CLIST environment for customers who need or wish to write their own specific automation scripts. The solution:
