Using the Automation Measurement Environment › Overview of AME

Overview of AME

The Automation Measurement Environment(AME) collects, records, and reports on the system events that CA OPS/MVS reacts to and the actions that it takes to address those events.

CA OPS/MVS continuously records statistical data. Much of this data can be obtained online as well as in OPS/REXX programs using product facilities such as:

• OPSVIEW option 4.1 and its suboptions
• OPSVIEW option 7.2 (the Automation Analyzer)
• The OPSPRM OPS/REXX function or the OPSPARM TSO command
• The ADDRESS OPSCTL OSF host command environment in OPS/REXX
• The ADDRESS AOF host command environment in OPS/REXX

You can also request that CA OPS/MVS write SMF records. The SMF records will go to SMF data sets or the MVS System Logger (LOGR) depending on your system definitions. CA OPS/MVS produces two types of SMF records:

• Summary-type records that are written at product shutdown
• Event-type records that are written after certain events are completed
