Amy, According to where you are in the country there are several VM and LINUX user groups that can help you
you can find out USER Group information here: http://www.vm.ibm.com/events/usergrps.html In April of this year Tracy Dean of IBM went to most of the VM user groups and gave a presentation on OPERATIONS MANAGER. you can find the information for the MVMUA meeting and a copy of the presentations here: http://www2.marist.edu/~mvmua/2009apr.html good luck Bill Munson Sr. z/VM Systems Programmer Brown Brothers Harriman & CO. 525 Washington Blvd. Jersey City, NJ 07310 201-418-7588 President MVMUA http://www2.marist.edu/~mvmua/ [email protected] Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <[email protected]> 07/14/2009 05:29 PM Please respond to The IBM z/VM Operating System <[email protected]> To [email protected] cc Subject VM information needed Good Evening, I support Operations Manager under zVM which is pretty new to me. I am in the Automation group and all of our products up until now have been either Mainframe or Web based. We use the minidisk as opposed to SFS. I have wrote some very basic rule defitions and schedules but I would like to get an idea of how the Exec facility works. Having supported several products w/in automation each product has it's own utilities, supplied variables, or functions in the version of REXX it supports. Operations Manager, I assume, would be the same way. I cannot find much information on how the EXEC utilities are managed or supported. Can you compile them? I have also a question on management of the config file containing the automation definitions w/in Operations Manager. For example, what is the best practice with support various products? I have chosen to imbed config files but not really sure if that is the Best Practice. Also, how is roll out managed under a minidisk? We have a couple of machines now that are running zVM and I would like to keep both machines at same level of automation. Any 'reference', 'training', 'website', 'usergroup' that you look favorably on is welcomed information on my end.
