IBM Managed System Services for AS/400 V4R2, 5769-MG1
The Managed System Services for AS/400 (MSS/400) licensed program is part of Operation
Center/400, which includes System Manager for OS/400. MSS/400 enables an AS/400 to be
managed from a central site running either:
• S/390 NetView Distribution Manager for MVS (Release 5 or later) for MVS-based
networks
• System Manager for AS/400 (V3R1 or later) for AS/400-based networks
The central site defines, schedules, and tracks software distribution (change management)
requests sent to an AS/400 system with Managed System Services for AS/400 installed.
These change management requests include sending, receiving, and deleting AS/400 files,
programs, and other objects (libraries, save files, message files, documents, folders, PTFs,
and so on).
AS/400 objects can be sent directly to or received from AS/400 libraries or through the local
AS/400 distribution repository.
Running programs, installing products, applying PTFs and re-IPLing can be scheduled to run
automatically under MSS/400 control. MSS/400 forwards the results of all change requests to
the central site for tracking.
The capability for the central site to define, schedule, and run these change requests one
time or repetitively significantly enhances the unattended operation of remote AS/400
systems. While MSS/400, together with central site control and tracking, provides a
significant set of automated operations, it does not provide real-time monitoring and
automated action for the entire AS/400 operating environment.
MSS/400 supports unscheduled running of AS/400 commands issued by the central site,
without having to first sign on to the AS/400 system with MSS/400. Printed output from these
commands can optionally be returned to the central site that issued the command.
The system manager function automates the tracking and management of co-requisite PTFs.
This reduces the risks and complexities of managing such relationships.
