Supported platforms: z/OS 2.3–3.2; JES2 and JES3 environments.
Security: RACF, ACF2, or CA Top Secret—least-privilege operation with auditable updates.
Integration: Tight interoperability across SyzAUTO/z, SyzCMD/z, SyzMPF/z, SyzMAIL/z, SyzSPOOL/z, and SyzMON/z via messages, datasets, and REST-like gateways where available.
Footprint: Lightweight address spaces and exits with minimal CPU and storage overhead; typical <1% CPU during steady state.
High availability: Cross-LPAR awareness, restart/recov procedures, and optional duplexed automation pairs.
Standards: WLM-aware, SAF-compliant, SMF-friendly logging; ISPF panels and optional web access where applicable.
Common scenarios:
- Automate IPL, shutdown, and recurring operations with guardrails.
- Detect and resolve console messages using MPF-driven rules.
- Schedule cross-application jobs with calendar and dependency logic.
- Route critical alerts via email/SMS with contextual data and CCs.
