If you have an iOS device from Apple -- iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -- or an Android device, and if you manage z/OS mainframe systems, I recommend you download and start using IBM zEvent. For more information on IBM zEvent and links to the zEvent mobile apps, please visit:
http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/features/zevent/zevent.html IBM is hosting a teleconference on July 13, 2016, from 14:00 to 15:00 CEST -- starting at 12:00 UTC if my timezone math is correct -- if you'd like to learn more about zEvent and ask questions. Details on the teleconference are available at the Web site listed above. IBM just released Version 3.0.0 of zEvent with some significant new features, so even if you've looked at zEvent in the past you'll probably want to have another look. IBM zEvent is a notification and monitoring app to manage IBM z/OS mainframes from smartphones and tablets. zEvent helps operators quickly react to critical system messages, process failures, and resource shortages. IBM zEvent receives and displays push messages but can optionally poll as well, just in case the device or network missed a push message. Notifications can include customized, site-specific information. IBM zEvent also includes interfaces to z/OS tools such as RMF and the z/OS Management Facility. (z/OSMF is optional but recommended.) IBM zEvent supports end-to-end encryption and master password authentication, to make sure that only authorized operators have access to notifications and other information even if an operator's mobile device is lost or stolen. There is no additional charge for IBM zEvent. It's yet another feature included with your z/OS license. Currently IBM provides zEvent "as-is." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
