Implementing Automatic Restart Manager (ARM)

The Automatic Restart Manager (ARM) is an IBM facility that allows the IBM z/OS product to automatically restart Started Tasks (excluding TSO users) after an abnormal termination occurs. By implementing support for ARM, you can ensure that BMC AMI Ops Automation is restarted quickly and automatically after an abend with no operator intervention required.

Previously, to ensure 

BMC AMI OpsA

 availability, you had to use a second 

BMC AMI OpsA

 system to monitor the primary 

BMC AMI OpsA

 PAS or use an outboard processing facility. If the primary 

BMC AMI OpsA

 abended, user-defined automation routines in the secondary 

BMC AMI OpsA

 (or outboard facility) would attempt to restart the product.

ARM eliminates the need for a secondary BMC AMI OpsA PAS (or outboard facility ) to monitor BMC AMI OpsA availability and can simplify restarts by allowing MVS to monitor and restart the product.
