Auto maintenance facility

The auto maintenance facility enables most software upgrades to be applied to BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS without restarting target IBM CICS systems. Implementing auto maintenance requires one-time modifications to the CICS CSD, PLT and SIT, and to the BBI-SS JCL, as described in Completing-implementation. After these modifications are complete, you can use the auto maintenance facility to apply updates and patches to BMC AMI OpsM for CICS; modifications to the CSD, PLT, and SIT will no longer be required when you upgrade to a new release of CICS or BMC AMI OpsM for CICS.

Security considerations related to auto maintenance are discussed in Site-specific-security.
