AE PCS concepts guide
Production Control Services (PCS) is a feature of BMC AMI Ops Automation for Batch ThruPut. This space describes the concepts and ideas that form its approach to managing your CA 7 scheduled workload. It include managing the critical path, predicting when jobs will be late and mitigating that situation based on the importance of the work. This is the starting point for anyone with an interest in PCS.
This PCS Concepts space includes a section, PCS Core Features, which includes information applicable to any PCS implementation. The second section, PCS Advanced Highlights, answers the question, "What else can I do with PCS?" The advanced features are mostly independent of one another and are built on the core features. For each one, an overview and where to find additional information is provided.
The PCS Usage space leads you through creation of the constructs that every PCS implementation must build. It also shows you how operations and your end-users interact with PCS at runtime.
Reference manuals are available and applicable while implementing PCS functionality. They supply the details on rules, commands, messages, and administrative or environmental tasks.
This section assumes the reader is familiar with the TM AE Concepts space and the TM AE Usage space.
