Product Overview

The architecture of CA FAQS ASO comprises several key components: the automation engine, the rule repository, and the REXX interpreter. The automation engine processes automation rules defined in configuration files. The rule repository stores these rule definitions, including conditions and actions.

The REXX interpreter executes custom actions programmed using REXX routines. These components communicate through internal system interfaces. Configuration files define automation rules, specifying conditions that trigger actions.

The system supports role-based access control (RBAC) for security. Monitoring and logging capabilities provide insights into system activity. The automation engine monitors system messages and schedules, triggering actions based on defined rules.

REXX routines allow for custom logic and integration with other z/VSE components. The system uses standard z/VSE security mechanisms for authentication. Competing products like IBM Workload Automation and BMC Control-M offer similar functionality, but CA FAQS ASO is specifically tailored for z/VSE environments, providing tighter integration and simplified REXX-based customization.
