"It's stable enough. I haven't noticed any problems since it was installed."
"I can and interrupt what's going on, bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."
"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."
"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."
"If something breaks and it goes down when it's not supposed to, automation brings it right back up."
"OPS/REXX is valuable because it allows us almost unlimited flexibility in automating our system."
"Their technical support is incredible, immediately responsive, and even if it is not updated to Level 2 support sometimes, they chip in providing more detailed answers and options to fix the problem."
"The service has been wonderful. I like the people that I have had to deal with. The process is very straightforward. I call or use the website."
"I do not have to keep recordings. It is there and is proactive. It helps the operators, human editors, and me."
"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 further expansion of the mainframe teamcenter interface. Also, the web services support is something that I am looking into."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"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."
"It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process."
"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."
"It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it."
"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."
"Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions."
