  <retired 2021> Currently I'm in Production Control, focus on Mainframe Automated Operations and Batch Scheduling. But I've also worked in Mainframe Operations and during the Y2K years in an application evaluating and upgrading COBOL programs.Recently I was challenged with converting IPL "automation" scripts of 21 mainframe LPARs to something that is faster, is more reliable, has less maintenance, and is consistent for all 21 LPARs. First step was actually get them all automated, then using REXX and BMC's MainView AutoOps I created a process that cut change window unavailable times from over an hour to about 15 minutes. The new process is so transportable that once you learn it on one LPAR you can do any of them. It also has a process that self evaluates reports potential problems immediately so there won't be a delay during the change windows, this has prevented countless delays. Everything reports by email and is usually as simple checking for any red text.On of my favorite thing to do is product and data conversions. Digging into the data and setting it up with a plan for seamless conversions has come naturally to me. Many times I'm get too deep in the analysis and find processes people didn't even know they had.
