AUTOMON/RDO provides the services you need to manage your CICS resource definitions and your CICS environments effectively and efficiently.
AUTOMON/RDO bridges the gap between what IBM offers and what you would expect in today's faster paced GUI type of online operation. CSD file processing by AUTOMON/RDO uses a standard CICS interface to ensure it only updates the CSD through the documented IBM paths of the CEDA transaction.
The sheer number of resources on a system can be overwhelming - and many data processing environments run multiple systems. AUTOMON/RDO allows the user to access and maintain definitions on remote systems from the local system. This gives an advantage of having the CICS environment organized as multiple systems, but accessed through a central point of control. AUTOMON/RDO provides online importing of resources from one system to another, including the documentation.
Using the protocols listed below, the operator can remain logged on to one CICS system and connect directly to a remote CICS system to perform any type of maintenance to the CSD of the remote system. In addition, the operator can remain logged on to the home system and perform Install commands, designating one or more remote systems as the target for the Install.
