Hi Team,
I am new to this forum. I am currently working as Senior Mainframe operator in product based company. I want to move in Mainframe Automation or any system suppor team. Could you please help me where I could find the documents for learning Mainframe Automation.

It is not clear what you are asking. Do you want to know about a job scheduler such as Control-M, CA-7, Zeke or Beta 42? Do you want to know about the auto-reply functions within z/OS? Do you want to know about the Automated Operator functions within BMC's Mainview product? Do you want to know about something else you have not explained? In other words, you have not really told us what you want to know.

If you are wanting to find out about a product being used at your site, then as long as your site has a license for the product, then you have access to the documentation for that product. You would need to talk to others in your organization about where that documentation is since we don't work for your organization and hence have no idea where their documentation is stored.

Hi Robert, thanks for the information. Actually I am working under IBM OPC tool. So I am interested to learn Automation and want to move to that part. We have command TSO AOC for logging in Automation panel. So if I want to do self learning, where could I find the documents or learning sites. For example, If I want to learn JCL, I can download from IBM Redbooks or some websites like Tutorialspoint ect...
