Portrait of an Automater

This section discusses the role of the person or persons automating your data center.

Anybody can automate the z/OS system of a data center using CA OPS/MVS. Of course, data center operations, systems programming experience, or both are helpful. In reality, however, it is often not operations experience that makes a successful automater-it is more an understanding of the following:

• How your business operates
• Methods and procedures your business follows on a day-to-day basis
• The stated policies and procedures of your organization
• How your enterprise runs its data center, uses its z/OS operating system, and uses those computer programs that were written to help your business operate
