The first step in implementing a CA NSM JM Option policy is to identify the locations (the where) and operations (the what) used in running your current work.
You can identify “where work gets done” through the definition of station profiles and station group profiles, which allow you to assign logical names to the locations where tasks are performed. Think of each station as the place where one or more steps in a procedure are performed.
A typical production job involves more than just executing a program. Often, job setup and post‑processing requirements must also be performed to ensure the correct processing of jobs. Recognizing this, the CA NSM JM Option provides three categories of Job Management stations:
Specifies the location where a manual task, such as loading a printer with special forms, must be performed prior to running jobs on the CPU.
Specifies the computer where a job actually runs.
Specifies the location where a manual task, such as verifying or distributing printed reports, must be performed after the CPU completes its work.
By providing the same level of attention to critical non‑CPU tasks that you do to CPU‑based processes, the CA NSM JM Option helps you ensure that jobs are set up correctly and have appropriate manual checks and balances.
