The IBM AS/ 400 has to be IPLed
every week and only the sysadmins can do that. Systems admin are the only ones
that can add new jobs into the job scheduler, add new menu options, etc on AS/
400
System Administrators are
critical for keeping the AS/ 400 (Vista) system UP and running. In case of
system down or any new alerts, System Admins are the ones who monitor alerts
and take corrective actions or alert the development team.
Security is maintained by system
administrators. They add all users/ changes on Vista. If we have issues with
user accounts and/ or if changes are needed, system admins perform that change
with proper approval.
They are responsible for the
system level software such as Mimix which replicates the data to the high availability
server and needs constant monitoring else the system will crash.
They monitor system performance
and alert us to 100% cpu by jobs, long running jobs, etc.
Without this daily management of
the AS/ 400 systems and underlying OS and application, Vista Direct would fail,
result in unplanned downtime, jeopardize the Quote-to-Cash & Order
Management processes, and ultimately, cause revenue loss.
