Systems management
R. A. Bird, Chris. Hofmann · IBM Systems Journal · 1980
The complexity of teleprocessing networks and the wide geographic distribution of both function and users hams ade the management task a highly critical one. The approach taken with the Account Network Management Program and the Network Error Management Facility is to provide the basic management discipline to ensure that all user requirements can be achieved. The programs by themselves cannot accomplish this objective. However, in conjunction with management commitment to establish a structured, disciplined systems management approach, we believe this objective can be achieved.
