With this new component, IBM Z Workload Scheduler data can be streamed and distributed to a variety of analytics engines, such as Splunk, the Elastic Stack, or the Z Data Analytics platform included in IBM Z Operational Log and Data Analytics. In addition, IBM Z System Automation can use the Kafka infrastructure to distribute System Display Facility (SDF) events to IBM Service Management Unite and other consumers.

IBM Z Resource Discovery Data Service V1.2.0

IBM Z Resource Discovery Data Service V1.2.0 is newly introduced to IBM Z Service Automation Suite V1.6.0.

IBM Z ChatOps V1.1.3

IBM Z ChatOps V1.1.3 elevates the operational experience within chat tools by offering intelligent responses, command aliases for frequently used commands, and auto-reply in threads. Moreover, this update introduces advanced options for System Automation, improved incident and OMEGAMON detail views, and other miscellaneous enhancements.
