BSA Service Manager

The BSA Service Manager is an application for controlling, monitoring and dynamically changing specific central functions of a product started task while the started task (STC) is running.

The BSA Service Manager enables dynamic control of the products in the running system. It displays the current activities and connections, and facilitates the maintenance and support of functions. The functionality is integrated into an online application that can run within a product ISPF online application, or can be used as a separate ISPF application.

The BSA Service Manager/ISPF application provides a set of online panels, tutorials, messages and accompanying programs that comply with ISPF conventions.
