IBM InfoSphere Optim Test Data Management (TDM) Initial Setup

SD
Delivery manager at OSI Digital

The initial setup could be complicated for a new user. However, the process is straightforward for our team. We installed the product on our system and later received assistance from the support team.

We initially faced challenges following the instructions outlined in the provided Excel sheet, specifically related to the configuration steps. Despite adhering to the documented test-type instructions, we encountered difficulties, resulting in a delay. Subsequently, we overcame these issues with the tech support team's assistance, ultimately completing the installation within an hour.

This response is specific to a z/OS environment. The initial setup is complex and requires assistance from mainframe administrators.

The initial setup should be made simpler with a step-by-step or a one-click installation guide.

The initial setup and installation are a bit complex, but it's good overall. You will need about five to six technical professionals to maintain and manage this solution. You only need two administrators.

The initial setup was easy, but time consuming. There is a lot of one time development effort involved to setup and implement the Optim based automated process.

The setup was complex for me, because I am not familiar with ODBC. I have to learn how to use it, in order to connect to different databases.
