The OPS/MVS SYSVIEW and the product SYSVIEW/E are completely different products even though they overlay on the SYSLOG viewing function. SYSVIEW/E was originaly called FAQSMVS from Goal Systems (pre 1988) and came out of the same development labs that developed FAQS for VSE. The overall level of user customisation in SYSVIEW/E was in the original product. With an extensive REXX API integrating other products, batch, native TSO, CICS, VTAM interfaces and combining a complete z/OS monitor & toolkit it still blows SDSF away. IMHO.

However, it was basically a SYSLOG viewer/filtering application that could be used as a console replacement, but also could be used to test OPS message rules by running against a subset of the past log. Once Legent and Goal merged, the OPS component was merged with some of the Legent automation tools functionality to improve on the product.

And vice versa. You used a REXX API. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ted MacNEIL Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 SYSN 06:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: switch from CA-SYSVIEW to SDSF >NO- it was never part of OPS/MVS.

We had OPS/MVS and SYSVIEW at a site, long before CA bought it. I was always able to get into it through the OPS/MVS ISPF panels. If it wasn't OPS/MVS, who had it before CA? - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html No virus found in this incoming message.
