Press Release
Announcing Support for IBM's Operations Navigator® and Management Central®

ACO PAGER™ is seamlessly integrated with Operations Navigator and provides you with a more efficient way of managing your IBM System i®.
For Immediate Release

NORTHWEST INDIANA/CHICAGOLAND, August 1998--DDL Systems, Inc. announces support for Operations Navigator and the ACO PAGER™ Message Alert System. Operations Navigator is a Windows® like graphical interface that you can use to perform System i system administration tasks. ACO PAGER™ uses standard i5/OS commands to manage message queues - unlike other products that require special message centers to view and respond to system/application messages.

The following benefits can be realized when using ACO PAGER™ in conjunction with Operations Navigator and/or Management Central:

  • Use Operations Navigator to view, reply-to, and remove messages in the originating or forward-to message queues monitored by ACO PAGER™.

  • Send pager and/or e-mail messages to individuals and/or groups of users via Operations Navigator's messaging client.

  • Page or send e-mail to notify data center personnel when performance thresholds have been exceeded via Operations Navigator's Management Central.

  • For experienced System i users there are no new programs or commands to learn and Operations Navigator simplifies system administration by allowing users to perform complex tasks with just a point-and-click of their mouse.

  • For new users, Operations Navigator can help them get started without requiring them to learn hundreds of new system commands.

Click here (existing customers only) to view online the simple instructions for setting up ACO PAGER™ and Operations Navigator to use the above features. This page requires a user id and password.

Operations Navigator is included with your System i system's base software. For more information on Operations Navigator follow this link to IBM's System i Technical Studio web site: http://www.as400.ibm.com/techstudio
