Product Overview

The AOC/MVS architecture comprised several key components designed to automate z/OS system operations. The Event Monitor component was responsible for detecting and capturing system events. The Rule Processor component evaluated these events against predefined rules to determine appropriate actions.

The Action Executor component then executed the actions, such as starting or stopping tasks. Configuration files defined the automation rules and system behavior. The system was administered through a command-line interface (CLI).

AOC/MVS integrated with Tivoli NetView for monitoring and control, leveraging NetView's capabilities to monitor system events and trigger automated responses. The product did not expose any external APIs. The system relied on the z/OS security model for authentication and access control.

The product is no longer supported. The migration to a supported automation solution such as IBM Z System Automation involves re-implementing automation rules and integrating with current monitoring and management tools. The key technical differences from competitors include the specific automation rules and integration with NetView.
