It makes control simpler by offering powerful features for:
- Cross platform management of multiple CICS systems from a single
point;
- Propagation of procedures across all nodes in a Synchro network
to ensure standardised operational procedures;
- Command security.
Synchro
Key Features
Dynamic control of CICS resources
'7x24' operational requirements mean that bringing a complete CICS
system down for maintenance is no longer an option for many companies.
Synchro allows customers to bring down parts of a system as required,
minimising the impact on end-users.
Central point of control
Mainframe reliability means that unattended operation is now possible
at remote sites. Synchro can communicate with any CICS system in
a network and control this remote operation. Central control means,
for example, that if customer applications have to be taken off-line
for a short time on one CICS system, then a duplicate version can
be brought online on another system so minimising the impact on
a company's business.
Automated CICS operations
Synchro has the ability to run procedures with huge numbers of commands
acting either on single or multiple systems, or single or multiple
CICS resources. CICS system resources may be grouped into logical
'sets' so that one command acts right across that set. Used in conjunction
with the Synchro command timer facility, it is possible to automate
CICS operations. This means that operations staff need only to be
involved when error conditions occur.
Full operational audit
Synchro keeps a full log of all commands issued AND the responses
to those commands.
