  1. The 7 days at “x” Revised May 12 2002

  2. The 7 “Days” at “X”A Real POC • This is a real story with the name(s) changed to protect the innocent • Each step required only one or two technical people • The plan changed during the work - this is real life and you must allow for it • Planning for Problems Prevents Problems

  3. Mission at “X” • Business Objectives: • Reduce MTTR and Operations Staff • Focal Point Console with Ability to Zoom to Specific Systems • Cross platform Scheduling • Improve Competitive Position Thru New Services • Online Services Availability Impacting Competitive Position • Detect Network Faults Early and in the context of the Business/Enterprise • SAP Rollout Quality Impacting Business • Manage SAP as a Whole • Failed Audit • Need single Security Image Across MVS, Unix, NT

  4. Mission at “X” • Business Objectives: • Focal Point Console with Ability to Zoom to Specific Systems – eliminate consolitis, improve MTTR • Detect Network Faults Early and in the context of the Enterprise – improve MTTR • Manage SAP as a Whole – focus on mission critical application as a process • Single Security Image Across MVS, Unix, NT – reduced admin, enhanced security • Cross platform Scheduling – reduced admin/errors

  5. Technical Deliverables • Unicenter TNG 2d and 3d Workstations • Enterprise Management Event Focal point console • SSO Server on Unix • Unicenter 1.1 and 1.5 on Unix • Unicenter 2.x on NT • Unicenter v1 on Novell • Polycenter on VMS

  6. 5 4 1 Automation Point MVS Polycenter DEC UNIX 2 NT 2D HP UNIX AIX NT SQL SUN Solaris 3 NT Agent OS/2 6 NT SAP UNIX SAP/R3 Novell Novell Novell

  7. Hardware to manage • 4 Unix servers • 4 NT servers • 3 Novell LANs • VMS systems • MVS SAP R2 • SAP R3 on Unix

  8. Before We Start • Verify kits received • Verify correct media • Scan (again) for key customer issues • Check STARTRAK for fixes and test fixes • Verify licenses are available • Wrong Unix release, no OS on main server, wrong media shipped, needed patches

  9. Milestones and Process • Stepwise Implementation with Deliverables • Daily CA Internal Show and Tell • Nightly Meetings to Adjust Staffing/Plan

  10. The 7 Step POC at “X” • Unix Focal Point Event Console • NT Control + Event • Novell LAN Integrator + Event • Polycenter VMS Integration • Cross Platform Scheduling with Mainframe • SAP/R3 • Demo

  11. Discover Customer Network • Connect to TCP/IP Network • Needed Community Name for Router • DNS Address • Determine Subnets to Discover • DNS synch issues, bad WINS, no one knew community name, lab could not see network originally, IP address changed during project

  12. DEC UNIX AIX HP UNIX SUN Solaris 1: UNIX Focal Point Event Console Focal Point Console • Unix sysadmin would not give root acess

  13. 2: Add NT; Use NT As Console NT 2D AIX SQL NT NT • Wins and /etc/hosts did not match

  14. 3: Add Novell NT Novell Novell • Novell downlevel, needed to apply maintenance

  15. 4: Add Polycenter DEC VAX NT • Trouble finding client contact with VAX access

  16. 5: Add MVS OPS/MVS + Cross Platform Scheduling NT Automation Point MVS • MVS change control process added delay

  17. 6: SAP/R3 NT SAP/R3 UNIX • SAP guru needed resold on solution

  18. 7: Demo • 1: Unix Focal Point Event Console • 2: NT Control + Event • 3: Novell LAN Integrator + Event • 4: Polycenter Integrator • 5: Cross Platform Scheduling with Mainframe • 6: SAP/R3 • 7: Demo

  19. Automation Point MVS Polycenter DEC UNIX NT 2D HP UNIX AIX NT SQL SUN Solaris NT Agent OS/2 NT SAP UNIX SAP/R3 Novell Novell Novell 5 4 1 2 3 6

  20. The 7 “Days” at “X”A Real POC • Did steps as islands to extent possible • Each step required only one or two technical people • The plan changed during the project - this is real life and you must allow for it • Build on success • System integration testing – do not forget and do not underestimate problem potential • Client had changed the environment as we went so day 1 and 2 stuff stopped working - twice
