Hello,
I wanted to send out a reminder that several components of OPS/MVS will be going out of support in August 2019.
Hardware Services (HiSrv) - This component allowed OPS/MVS to communicate with the HMC to automated messages, send commands, and view/change attributes. We are currently in the process of finishing up a replacement interface, if you are interested in hearing more please let me know.
WebCenter - This was the original OPS/MVS web interface that handles the alerting, via REXX environment ALERTMON, and a System State Manager interface. This interface is being replaced by new development within Mainframe Team Center - Automation. This development is in process and will be rolled out in incremental steps.
Linux Connector Interface - This component allows zVM and Linux for System Z messages to be sent through the AOF Engine and land in the OPSLOG. It will also allow for commands to be sent and responses to be filtered back. There is an additional existing interface to communicate with VM/CMS Virtual Machines that handles similar functionality including messaging and command issuing. Please reach out if you are working on a use case that isn't covered by this interface.
