Team Of: One
OMA consists of a number of discrete systems and infrastructure components
that provide an overall management environment that was specifically
designed to manage VMS based systems. It consists of 4 main components: a
network (OSN), a central resource system (OMN), an event monitoring and
management system (OCM) and a graphical display for all the events
generated by OCM (OMS).
OMN designed as a central management system for managing VMS based systems
but is available to other operating systems. It offers file and data
storage
to a central storage system, job scheduling, event propagation, secure
access to production systems. The prerequisite is that the managed system
has either TCP/IP or DECnet as a means of communication. OCM provides a
means of capturing serial data feeds from managed systems and converting
the text messages into events and forwarding them to a graphical display
such as formula where they appears as a colour change within the display.
My Role in the Project:
Providing Level 3 support for the application and responsible for the
followings:
. Managing OMA Environment used by the Production & development projects.
