IBM licensed programs: System management products and services 753
Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004 5486LPSM.fm
Benefits
The ability of the central site to define, schedule, and run change requests one
time or repetitively enhances significantly the unattended operation of remote
iSeries servers. MSS, together with central site control and tracking, provides a
significant set of automated operations. However, it doesn’t provide real-time
monitoring and automated action for the entire iSeries operating environment.
iSeries server objects can be sent directly to or received from iSeries libraries or
through the local iSeries distribution repository.
Running programs, installing products, applying PTFs, and performing IPL again
can be scheduled to run automatically under IBM Managed System Services for
iSeries control. MSS forwards the results of all change requests to the central
site for tracking.
MSS supports unscheduled running of iSeries commands issued by the central
site, without signing on first to the iSeries server with MSS. Printed output from
these commands can optionally be returned to the central site that issued them.
The system manager function automates the tracking and management of
co-requisite PTFs. This reduces the risks and complexities of managing such
relationships.
