BENEFITS

Delivered Feature PAIN

SOLUTION

Increase Internal Job Numbers

Support 32k Internal Jobs

• Installs, upgrades and maintenance are reduced

• Merge Copies of CA 7

• Internal restrictions removed and no recovery once 10k are reached

• Increase the Internal Job Numbers

• Alpha / Numeric Identifiers are now utilized

• Supports up to 32K jobs in the queues at any given time

• Reduces the number of copies required to support the

business

• CA 7 does not have any available Internal Job Numbers

• Recovery from this actions could take hours due to the

research required

• Too many copies of CA7 are required to support my

business


BENEFITS


SOLUTION

Web Client

Support for 12.1

• Single Interface for Monitoring and Managing all CA 7’s in the Enterprise

• No Need for multiple tools

• Java Base

• Removed Job Flow Illustrator and Monitor

• Removed Networks

• Web Client 12.0 did not include Long Job Name Support

• Need a single point to Manage / Monitor all CA 7’s

• Need zLinux Support

• Resource Usage


BENEFITS


SOLUTION

Agents

Deployment

• No need for unique agent names

• All agents can be deployed from a single stack

• No need for special deployment packages

• No requirements to update packages after delivery

• Deploying agents with same name

• Agents require a unique name preventing from standard

deployment• Agents can be deployed with the

same name


BENEFITS


SOLUTION

Agents

Monitoring

• Not in the CA7 address space, no cost add-on

• Know when agents are available vs not available

• Recovery time

• Not in the CA7 address space, no cost add-on

• Being able to refresh a single agent versus having to refresh all

• Agent Monitoring

• Configurable to meet needs

• Issues WTO when failures take place

• New command

• Agents Disconnect from CA 7

• Not identified until Jobs are submitted to the failing agent

• Network issues

BENEFITS


SOLUTION

Zowe CLI Integration

Distributed Command Line interface for CA 7 functionality

• Mainframe applications within a CI/CD pipeline can be treated identically to their distributed applications. Allowing

customers to no longer need special training when dealing with mainframe applications

• Reduction in burden on mainframe operations to handle application changes

• System Programs could also take advantage of command interface to adopt modern programming interfaces.

• Zowe / Brightside command line interface to interact with

CA 7, Job Monitoring, Control, and Scheduling

• Zowe / Brightside commands allow for integration into

automated CI/CD pipelines

• Companies are de-centralizing their workload scheduling

processes and want to use existing CI/CD pipeline

processes

• Application owners don’t want to have to learn mainframe

technology to just perform workload scheduling


BENEFITS


SOLUTION
