Summary of TME 10 OPC Version 2 Release 2 Enhancements
| Instrumentation for TME 10 Global Enterprise Manager
| TME 10 Global Enterprise Manager (GEM) is the industry's first solution for
| unifying the management of cross-platform business applications that run
| businesses and make them competitive. TME 10 GEM helps you to manage
| strategic applications from a unique business systems perspective, focusing
| your IT resources on keeping these systems working properly and
| productively. TME 10 OPC has been enhanced to support the Job
| Scheduling Business System of the TME 10 GEM Systems Management
| Business System. From the TME 10 GEM console, which provides a single
| point of management, a TME 10 OPC user has complete control of all the
| TME 10 OPC components, regardless of the platform on which they run. In
| more detail, the TME 10 OPC instrumentation for TME 10 GEM enables you
| to do the following:
| Show all the TME 10 OPC components, including controllers, stand-by
| controllers, OS/390 trackers, AS/400 tracker agents, TCP/IP connected
| tracker agents.
| Show the different links between the above components. This provides,
| at a glance, a check on the health of the connections. For example, an
| OS/390 tracker might be running but might have no connection to the
| controller.
| For each component, manage a set of status parameters (monitors)
| specific to that component. These monitors might report the status of
| some vital OPC controller data sets such as database, current plan, and
| long-term plan)
| Manage this set of monitors graphically. You can:
| – Ask for value of the monitor
| – Be notified when the value of the monitor changes
| – Associate a severity (such as normal, warning, severe, or critical)
| with each monitor value
| Start or stop TME 10 OPC trackers without logging them on.
| Know at a glance, in a sysplex environment, which is the active controller
| and which the stand-by.
| Execute commands on TME 10 OPC components, from a single point of
| control, regardless of the platform and operating system used for that
| component.
| SAP R/3 support
| TME 10 OPC has been enhanced to exploit the Extended Agent technology
| of the TME 10 Workload Scheduler product. This technology enables
| TME 10 OPC to interface with a number of third party applications that can
| perform scheduling. By using this technology, you can now start and track a
| SAP R/3 job from TME 10 OPC. You can also retrieve and display the job
| log at the TME 10 OPC controller. This function requires the TME 10 OPC
| Tracker Agent for one of the following platforms:
| AIX
| Digital UNIX
| Sun Solaris
