Rocket® OpsCentral

Empower operations management to centrally manage enterprise-wide workloads

Centralized management of enterprise scheduling workloads

OpsCentral provides a standardized interface that will allow Operations Management personnel to centrally manage the workload across the enterprise. This includes the ability to define and manage scheduling workloads for multiple Zeke and Zena implementations.

OpsCentral provides a single point of control for production workloads across the enterprise.

Batch process automation and scheduling require orderly and reliable sequencing, as well as management of task executions across the enterprise. Dependencies between tasks running on different platforms and operating system environments need to be centrally managed in a way that is autonomous to the underlying operating systems, technologies, and applications. These challenges are increasing significantly as users and owners of IT services strive to automate their business processes that span business applications such as SAP, PeopleSoft, and Oracle, and platforms such as z/OS, UNIX, Windows, Linux, and AS/400. ASG-OpsCentral provides a single point of control for production workloads across the enterprise.

 

OpsCentral provides:
Real-time job status representation and full-schedule management capabilities, including easily identifiable exceptions, abends, and current job status
Management of consolidated workloads from a single common view
Creation and management of permanent job and process definitions across the enterprise
Support for all operator actions available in the native products (commands such as job hold, force, cancel, operator OK, etc.)
Command-line interface for supported scheduling and automation solution
Allows z/OS rerun/restart capabilities, provided by ASG-Zebb and managed directly from ASG-OpsCentral
