The Master Console Center (MCC) is a powerful tool allowing automation of Operations and
Data Center processes. The MCC is platform-independent so that the operator can manage
complex enterprise computing systems, including mainframe and midrange systems, through a
single console facility—the MCC terminal (a multimedia X-terminal or PC running an X
emulator).
The MCC terminal uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI). This guide assumes you have a
working knowledge of a GUI system, such as X Windows or Microsoft Windows. For basic
information on GUI operations, see Appendix A Basic GUI Operation on page 65.
This Operations Guide focuses on the operation of the MCC from the MCC terminal. For
detailed information on configuring the MCC and writing scripts, see the Administration Guide
and Scripting Guide respectively.
Note: All configuration tasks should be performed by the MCC
administrator.
