Stream: Service Management
Time: 11:15 - 12:00
Mission critical Workload Schedulers have evolved into complex automated batch engines that have probably never been fully serviced!
In this talk we will explore the challenges facing all Enterprise mainframe customers that use Workload Schedulers, such as IBM ZWS (IWS / TWS / OPC), CA-7, BMC Control-M, etc.
§ How clean is my critical batch engine?
§ Is it tuned for the best possible performance?
§ Could I save money if it had a full service and was running more efficiently?
§ Are there any unknown jobs which could pose a security loophole?
§ Are we preparing for any major modifications to our batch engine, such as offloading any part to another system or replacing our Workload Scheduler?
The implications of any of these issues are significantly expensive to your business outcomes. You service your car every year, so why would you not fully service your most critical business IT platform?
We will present how you can easily analyze your complex Workload Scheduler to quickly answer these important questions and save costs.
