Agent Technology enables you to achieve enterprise‑wide, automated, high‑level monitoring and management of critical resources including hardware, software applications, and network devices. This technology consists of agents that gather data and take action on behalf of managers; powerful managers that use this information to initiate and control activity and delegate authority; and an infrastructure of common services that enable the flow of information between them.
CA Common Services for z/OS provides the essential infrastructure that makes possible the operation of Agent Technology in the z/OS environment. This infrastructure supports pre‑packaged z/OS agents such as the z/OS system agent, MQSeries agent, CICS agent, CA-IDMS agent, and DB2 agent, and z/OS managers such as CA Automation Point, and CA NSM System Status Manager CA OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation Option. Agents running on z/OS can be managed by a Distributed State Machine (DSM) running on a UNIX/Linux or Windows system.
Agent Technology supports a wide range of platforms and is deployable in client/server, internet, and intranet environments. This enables enterprise‑wide monitoring and management of z/OS elements, and enhances the ability of z/OS environments to participate in a true heterogeneous network.
