System i DR and HA specialist Maximum Availibility has enhanced its *noMAX product suite.

The new release features autonomic functionality, enhanced auditing and a new green screen menu. There is also a new monitoring feature, patrolMAX, that processes autonomic requests to replicate out-of-sync objects for quicker replication issue response and resolution times.

The release includes a GUI dashboard with new colour-coded icons representing the status of each configuration and a property file allowing *noMAX processes to be controlled through property settings. Another new feature provides greater functionality on the backup system and further safeguards IFS-related transactions during a role swap. There is object-type support for *USRIDX (User Index) *USRSPC (User Space) and *SAVF (Save File).

Users can now replicate spool-to-data to the target system ensuring that the two systems maintain identical matches of information. They can also now enter or select multiple library names at the same time. A new GUI journal management function feature helps to manage the user’s overall replication environment.
