I thought this was an interesting announcement this morning and one I am looking forward to learning more about at SHARE in Denver!
After the disappointment I had with the z/OS Management Console I am cautiously optimistic and very curious to see this. IBM z/OS Management Facility V1.11 -- A new face for z/OS z/OS page with links to announcement http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/ Announcement http://tinyurl.com/pmzjgv http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?subtype=ca&infotype=an &appname=iSource&supplier=897&letternum=ENUS209-241&open&cm_mmc=5291-_-n -_-vrm_newsletter-_-10577_125657&cmibm_em=dm:0:18221033#h2-tcx The IBM z/OS Management Facility V1.11 (5655-S28) is a new product for z/OS that provides support for a modern, Web-browser-based management console for z/OS. The z/OS Management Facility is intended to enable system programmers to more easily manage and administer a mainframe system by simplifying day-to-day operations and administration of a z/OS system. More than just a graphical user interface, the z/OS Management Facility is intelligent, with designs toward addressing the needs of a diversified skilled workforce and maximizing their productivity. Automated tasks can help reduce the learning curve and improve productivity. In addition, embedded active user assistance (such as wizards) guides users through tasks and helps provide simplified operations. The initial release of the z/OS Management Facility provides the foundation for platform simplification. Existing user interfaces such as ISPF, operator commands, and others will continue to be supported and coexist with the z/OS Management Facility. A large portion of the z/OS Management Facility application is written in Java(tm), and therefore, is eligible for the System z Application Assist Processor (zAAP). In addition, portions of z/OS Management Facility workload are planned to be eligible for the IBM System z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP) as well. Some functions in z/OS Management Facility use the Common Information Model (CIM) set of industry standards to communicate with z/OS subsystems and starting with z/OS V1.11, the z/OS CIM server processing is eligible to run on the zIIP.
