Mainstar MXI’s enhanced ISPF interface supports widescreen formats. Some MXI displays are now hundreds of bytes wide and can be easily filtered, scrolled and sorted. Columns can be fixed or arranged according to your specifications and line commands and over-typeable fields are now available on most displays.
Additionally, Mainstar MXI’s REXX API interface enables you to address column data directly using ‘row.column.i’ stem variable names. Mainstar MXI also provides a TCP/IP server application that enables you to issue commands to remote systems and view the results on your local system seamlessly.
Mainstar MXI extends its functionality even further than any of its previous releases by offering a Java-based Consolidation and Analysis Engine and Client (CAE). This allows users to:
- Perform in-depth analysis of MXI command results
- Find changes in MXI data over time
- View & analyze historical system behavior
- Integrate a autonomic event and response system
