IBM zEvent

IBM zEvent: Push Notifications from IBM Mainframes on your Mobile Device.

IBM zEvent is a notification and monitoring app for the management of IBM z/OS systems enabling to quickly react to critical system messages, process failures, or resource shortages.

zEvent receives and displays system events and snapshots sent via push messages and aims to provide system administrators with sufficient information to assess important situations on the mobile device. Based on this information, the administrator can decide whether the system event requires immediate attention.

The notification can be enriched with context information. This information coupled with zEvent's integrated interfaces to z/OS tools, such as IBM Resource Measurement Facility (RMF) and IBM z/OS Management Facility (z/OSMF), allows to drill down and pinpoint the system message source. Using these monitoring facilities, the administrator can then decide whether a direct reaction at his workspace is required.

The app is focused on z/OS systems and is tailored to functionality provided by z/OS, which is a prerequisite to exploit the full capabilities of this app.
