Benefits
- Offline operation
BMC AMI Ops Console Management runs completely offboard with no components actually running on the mainframe. You can access mainframe consoles when the systems are not operating. - Reduces costs and complexity of multiple consoles
BMC AMI Ops Console Management aggregates all of the mainframe system consoles into a single window. Access to an individual console is fast and easy through a click of a button. Consoles are always on and readily available for operators. You can configure custom views to show either all consoles or just the subsets of consoles. - Improves system availability
BMC AMI Ops Console Management can highlight important system messages based on your criteria. You can take actions to automatically respond to messages, or forward messages to other systems such as TrueSight or Remedy. - Automates IPLs
You can automate the IPL templates to reduce the time (by automatically submitting commands and responses) and to provide consistent results. - Reduces risk and increases security
The access to BMC AMI Ops Console Management is secured through encrypted network connections and operator logins. You can use your enterprise’s authentication system (ActiveDiretory, RACF, ACF2, and so on) to authenticate operators.
