Features
The Managed System Services for AS/400 (MSS) licensed program is part of Operation
Center/400, which includes System Manager for OS/400. MSS enables an iSeries server to
be managed from a central site running either:
• S/390 NetView Distribution Manager for MVS (Release 5 or later) for MVS-based
networks
• System Manager for iSeries and AS/400-based networks
The central site defines, schedules, and tracks software distribution (change management)
requests sent to an iSeries or AS/400e server with Managed System Services for iSeries
installed. These change management requests include sending, receiving, and deleting
iSeries system files, programs, and other objects (libraries, save files, message files,
documents, folders, PTFs, and so on).
iSeries server objects can be sent directly to or received from iSeries libraries or through the
local iSeries distribution repository.
Running programs, installing products, applying PTFs and re-IPLing can be scheduled to run
automatically under IBM Managed System Services for iSeries (MSS) control. MSS forwards
the results of all change requests to the central site for tracking.
