ThruPut Manager® AE with PCS Product Overview
ThruPut Manager AE with PCS (Automation Edition with Production Control Services) extends the scheduling goals of CA 7 Workload Automation to the z/OS execution arena. Unlike standard z/OS, it takes into account the dependencies specified in the CA 7 scheduling database, the critical paths that may change over a production run and the importance of each application compared to any other work running. With ThruPut Manager AE with PCS, z/OS production execution is managed according to the CA 7 schedule and due-out times. Your schedule completes on time and your Production Control staff are freed for more useful tasks. Further information can be found in:
