I believe you basically have three options for zVM console sharing/automation:
1. PROP 2. CA's VM:Operator 3. IBM's Operations Manager. Don't forget PerfKit also has console automation functions too. Our basic needs were to: 1. allow multiple members of our operations team to monitor Operator ID as well as the zLinux guests consoles. 2. highlight and hold error/warning messages in the consoles. 3. automatically respond to messages with REXX execs. 4. schedule operations to execute hourly, daily, etc.
