Introducing a better way to notify task owner of task execution status

Syzygy Incorporated is proud to introduce the newest release of a major part of the Syzygy Automation Suite family, SyzMPF/z Version 6. 

SyzMPF/z is the z/OS console automation portion of the Automation Suite.  SyzMPF/z has many proprietary features not available with any other vendor's automation product, including the newly enhanced ability to automatically send an email or text message containing any (or all) of a tasks' maximum and all step condition codes as well as any (or all) JES sysout parts from that task.  This is all performed with absolutely no changes to any task's or JOB's JCL in any way.  

SyzMPF/z, the Console Message Processing Facility, allows any z/OS site to respond to any Console-type message with predefined scripts allowing complete interactive control of any console situation or message and adds the ability to "roll your own" operator commands. SyzMPF/z provides an automated means for answering any request or responding to any console based event, (job end, start, abend, message from any job or task, etc.). In short, any console event or message can be handled by the facilities of SyzMPF/z. 

SyzMPF/z can be used to automate the operating systems IPL, Shutdown, controlling and monitoring CICS, DB/2 the TCP/IP or VTAM network, and almost any other task that issues messages to the operator console or hardcopy log. The product can execute commands and perform complex functions that would otherwise not be possible.   SyzMPF/z is not simply a "dumb" scripting facility for issuing commands to respond to console traffic, it has a advanced scripting "language" to use the many special features for determining what needs to be done and when. The utility provides a very simple to learn scripting language that allows the site to harness extremely powerful command logic, including nested IF/THEN/ELSE logic.
