1. A new way to monitor System Automation configuration file LUDIWAC Helcia Conseil

2. Preamble – The use cases described in this presentation are based on scenarii found in actual industrial applications. – The interface screenshots presented here are subject to change for the commercial version of the software. As such they hold no contractual value for this Beta version. Helcia Conseil – 20152

3. Introduction This interface was made in response to the following two issues that arise while managing System Automation:  Optimize information search in the configuration database with visualization tools for faster and easier data understanding.  Foresee activation errors found in the configuration and avoid on-call specialists intervention during the night or week-ends. Helcia Conseil - 20153

4. A new interface : why? – Make data search and visualization easier. – Save time when looking for specific information. – Check and show applications relationships. – Simulate actions taken by Runmodes. – Easily filter log information. – Control variables used in commands. – Compare data between 2 TSA databases. Helcia Conseil - 20154

5. Use case 1 My TSA application doesn’t start ! – Syntax error within TSA ? – TSA variable issue ? – z/OS variable issue ? – Undefined command ? – … The needs:  Quickly find the application in the configuration file.  Immediately show defined commands.  Validate variables used in the commands. Helcia Conseil - 20155

6. Solution 1 How to find my application:  Entry name search  Subsystem name search  Or search with jobname, application type… How to show commands immediately:  Get the most data with one click. How to find used variables:  Print values and warn if they’re null. Helcia Conseil - 20156

7. Select Applications entries Helcia Conseil - 20157 Select Browse menu for Entry type selection

19. Use case 2 My message command wasn’t executed! – Syntax error within TSA? – TSA variable issue? – z/OS variable issue? – MRT issue? – Override issue in the automation table? The needs:  Quickly find my message in the configuration database.  Show linked applications.  See message management in the message table and MRT. Helcia Conseil - 201419

20. Solution 2 How to find the message:  Search with message ID.  Search with message prefix.  Search from an Application. How to check active filtering:  How is the message managed in the MRT? Helcia Conseil - 201420

21. Show all messages Helcia Conseil - 201421

24. Checking Message Code Match Helcia Conseil - 201424

25. Automation table override message and where used Helcia Conseil - 201425

26. Use case 3 I added a new application. How do I make sure it will start and stop properly? – Are there well defined relationships? – Would another relationship create an issue? – Do relationships loop with other resources? The needs:  Visualize relationships network.  Check linked resources’ own relationships.  Warn the user when relationships loop. Helcia Conseil - 201426

27. Solution 3 How to quickly find relationships:  Find the application (see use case 1),  Show the applications network in one click.  Browse the network by selecting applications.  Find relationships in one click. Helcia Conseil - 201427

28. See TCIP APL rels Helcia Conseil - 201428

30. Loops in relationships Helcia Conseil - 201430

31. Use case 4 I added a new Runmode. – Which resources are affected by this Runmode? – Which resources may be stopped ? The needs:  See the tokens associated with the Runmode and related applications.  Verify which applications will be stopped when activating the Runmode. Helcia Conseil - 201431

32. Runmode Simulator 2015 Helcia Conseil - 201432

33. Planned features  MRT Filtering  Syslog filters  Canzlog filters  z/OS system symbols substitutions  Comparison between two ACFs  And much more… Helcia Conseil - 201533
