Overview of BMC AMI Ops Automation for IMS applications


To control IMS operations, use the 

BMC AMI Ops Automation

 menus and applications.

The SPF-like dialog is a set of menus and applications that the master terminal operator (MTO) uses to control IMS operation. The applications display the current IMS resources or IMS activity and any exceptions to normal activity. The MTO uses the applications to change the resources with a one- or two-character line command or to schedule EXECs that perform a group of IMS or MVS commands.

When you enter a line command in an application, BMC AMI OpsA responds by issuing the appropriate IMS command for that resource. The operator does not need to know the full IMS command. The application displays the short line commands that can be used.

EXECs can respond automatically to IMS or BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS messages or be scheduled by the time of day or the BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS user. EXECs are user-written programs that you can write to perform automation tasks on your system. See Using-advanced-automation-with-BMC-AMI-Ops-Automation for more information about EXECs, writing EXECs, and EXEC processing.

The following shows the IMS operator workstation menus:
