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 iSeries system
administration tasks. ACO PAGER uses standard OS/400 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 iSeries 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.
