BMC AMI Ops Automation for Batch ThruPut ISPF services

This section provides a short introduction to the ISPF services provided to support BMC ThruPut Manager.

Introduction

The BMC ThruPut Manager base product includes an ISPF framework that allows various BMC ThruPut Manager components and services to take advantage of interactive displays and dialogs. The services provided through ISPF are designed to make certain systems programming and operating tasks easier to manage.

Important

In order to use this facility, the appropriate ISPF data sets must be concatenated during the INSTALL process described in the Installation Guide.

Some of the supported functions apply to optional components, therefore they might not be functional at your installation. To see exactly what services are available at your installation, invoke the TMISPF command:

TMISPF

The following pages illustrate the selection menus for the services so that you can see what is available. Full documentation for all BMC ThruPut Manager ISPF services is provided through online help.

Important

TMISPF uses TSO Extended Consoles to provide some of its functions. This means that TSO sessions that use TMISPF must have the correct authority, since the Extended Console has the authority of the TSO session. To use ThruPut Manger operator commands through TMISPF, the TSO session must have SYS authority. To display BMC ThruPut Manager information, the session must have INFO authority.

If the System Authorization Facility (SAF) for Operator commands is active the Console Authority is not used. Access to the commands is protected under the OPERCMDS class by a Resource of $$TM.function.command. For more details see Authorizing the Use of Operator Commands in the Functional-services section of the Operating-guide.

ISPF Dialog SAF Support

The TMISPF and TMEUS dialogs now have SAF options to restrict the various dialog usage. These options are under the FACILITY class and the resources are as follows:
