I went through a conversion CA-1 ---> RMM for a large bank last year. I would say that technically both are good products (sitting on the fence). In this instance we share one RMM with four sysplex and three stand alone environments.
CA-1 'had' a better reputation for reporting however RMM now uses ICETOOL and provides both a number of 'canned' reports and a simple mechanism for creating your own reports. Add to that the RMM 'add-ons' and both are about equal. RMM however has the advantage of being 'rolled in' with your z/OS operating system and needs no additional installation work - maintenance for RMM becomes part of your regular z/OS schedule. Cost - well that's not my concern. James F.

We have some systems that run CA-1 and some that run RMM. At first we stated that we wanted to go to CA-1. This seems to be what the majority of people use. My personnel opinion I like CA-1 much better, I would like to get some opinions on what people think is the best way to go. I know, (because I've been there), most system programmers will choose RMM... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
