CA GMI is the graphical management interface product that allows you to view and manage mainframe activity from a PC. It consists of user-interface clients which interface with a z/OS server component to allow access to basic z/OS server functions.
The following user-interface clients are available:
This client provides full functionality. That is, you can manually perform view and analysis functions, filter and sort desired entries, zoom (drill-down) to related objects, and take actions upon selected entries. You can create customized colored reports in different formats, for example, tables and graphs in HTML, PDF, and XLS formats. These reports can be printed and exported to your PC directory, servers, intranet, and so on. The Windows Client has a Scheduler component that manages scheduled tasks defined in the Windows Client (for example, tasks scheduled using the View and Output Definitions, and Object Logging functions). You can create, manage, and view Summary Objects, Joined Objects, and Delta Objects. This client also provides designer wizards to create scripts to monitor and respond to any condition, exceptional or routine, in automatic ways. These automation services let you replace many manual processes of managing your system. It also has a JCL Management feature to manage JCL and includes the Host Config Client which you can use to set CAVantage SRM system parameters.
As a browser interface, it can be used from any PC with internet access to the Web Client’s application server. The current version of the Web Client provides the user-driven functionality of view and analysis, filtering and sorting, zooming, and the ability to take actions on selected entries. You can create customized colored reports in different formats, for example, tables and graphs in HTML, PDF, and XLS formats. These reports can be printed and exported to your PC directory, servers, intranet, and so on. The Web Client has a Scheduler component that manages scheduled tasks defined in the Web Client (for example, you can schedule output reports). You can create, manage, and view Joined Objects. You can view Summary Objects and Delta Objects.
This client provides partial functionality. It is limited to the user-driven functionality of view and analysis, filtering and sorting, zooming, and the ability to take actions on selected entries.
Note: The View 3270 Client is considered a character-based user-interface, not a graphic-based user-interface, so it is not discussed in this guide. For View 3270 Client installation and configuration information, see the CAVantage SRM Configuration Guide. For more information about using the View 3270 Client, see the chapter "Navigating the View 3270 Client" in the CAVantage SRM User Guide.
Note: This guide mostly displays examples from the Windows Client, which are similar in many respects to the Web Client. For more information about Web Client features, see the CAVantage SRM Web Client Guide.
CA GMI is included free of charge with many CA products. The CA GMI components only need to be installed once. However, you must configure the z/OS server component for each CA GMI enabled CA product you want to use CA GMI for, on each host where you want to use it. The following is the list of CA GMI enabled CA products:
