I assume you mean Broadcom CA OPS/MVS. Here are some suggestions, in no particular order:
* If you already have NetView, and if your needs are fairly simple or at least amenable to NetView, then that might be enough. * If you are primarily or exclusively Db2-oriented in what you need, then you may be able to get by with the Administrative Task Scheduler, included with Db2 for z/OS. * IBM Automation Control for z/OS is essentially a simplified edition of IBM System Automation for z/OS, priced accordingly. IBM Tivoli AF/OPERATOR for z/OS is another possible choice in a similar vein. * Brian Westerman posts frequently here, and not only can Syzygy help with z/OS and other "version up" work to keep you in a supported configuration (with security patches for example), they also offer a simple automation tool for z/OS. * This article provides some advice on possible "freebies," such as z/OS Automatic Restart Manager (ARM): http://www.longpelaexpertise.com.au/ezine/DoWeNeedAutomationSoftware.php - - - - - - - - - - Timothy Sipples I.T.
