Using BMC AMI Ops Monitor for z/OS on multiple systems
One of the greatest benefits of the
BMC AMI Ops
window interface is the ability to control multiple local and remote systems, access different products on those systems, and compare and contrast data from different time periods—all on the same screen, all at the same time.
There are two ways to monitor multiple systems from BMC AMI Ops Monitor for z/OS:
- Using the BMC AMI Ops Single System Image (SSI) function, you can retrieve data from multiple systems in a single view.
- Using the window interface, you can open up to 20 windows and control a different aspect of system performance in each window, looking at various systems and using various views.
With BMC AMI Ops architecture, you can do all of this from a single user session, rather than initiating multiple sessions under the control of a session manager.
To monitor other systems, you can specify a target (the name of a z/OS image, such as SYSA or SYSB) or an SSI context (a group of targets across multiple systems or plexes that looks and acts like a single target).
