IBM z/OS Management Facility V2R3

z/OSMF delivers solutions in a task-oriented, web-browser-based user interface with integrated user assistance. The goal of z/OSMF is to improve system programmer productivity, and make functions easier to understand and use. This makes system programmers more productive as quickly as possible with the least amount of training. You can automate tasks, reduce the learning curve, and improve productivity through a modern, simplified, and intuitive task-based, browser-based interface.

z/OSMF is aimed at a mixed skills workforce: It is suited to both professionals who are new to z/OS and those who are already skilled in z/OS. Each professional has their own needs and faces their own challenges. Novice system programmer might need to understand the “big picture” and how procedures are done. Novices need to get documentation on procedures and tasks, and implement them according to the rules of the enterprise. Experienced system programmers, conversely, have knowledge of tasks and procedures, so the goal is to make their work less error-prone and easier. This allows them to be more productive and contribute more to their business.

z/OS has been delivering simplification since it was introduced, but z/OSMF brings a new dimension and focus to simplification. z/OSMF simplifies and modernizes the user experience and helps make pertinent information readily available and easily accessible.
