Advanced automation
The advanced automation applications include anything that involves procedural code such as how to write
BMC AMI Ops Automation
EXECs, use the EXEC Management application, the EXEC Testing Facility, the Time-Initiated EXECs (TIMEXEC) application, and the Open System Procedural Interface (OSPI) application.
EXEC Management application
The EXEC Management application shows you the EXECs you have written to your SYSPROC concatenation, including information about how many EXECs you have running, schedules, CPU time, and abends.
For more information about the EXEC Management application, see the Using-BMC-AMI-Ops-Automation-basic-applications.
The EXEC Testing Facility is accessed through this application and allows you to select an EXEC to interactively debug.
TIMEXEC: Time-Initiated EXECs
The Time-Initiated EXECs application manages time-initiated EXEC requests by using the CALLX service to schedule your specified EXEC based on time. Note that TIME-initiated Rules can provide an easier solution in many cases.
For more information about using the Time-Initiated EXECs application, see the Using-BMC-AMI-Ops-Automation-basic-applications.
For more information about using the TIME-initiated Rules, see TIME.
Open System Procedural Interface
The Open System Procedural Interface application is described in the Using-advanced-automation-with-BMC-AMI-Ops-Automation. This interface allows you to capture screen images and keystrokes in an EXEC so that you can programmatically interact with any IBM VTAM application.
