IBM Product Introduction
The primary focus of ASAP, TWS/z products were initially developed in 1976 at the IBM Nordic Laboratories in Sweden and introduced worldwide in 1979 as OPC, an online scheduler, planning and control tool for DP operations. In 1987 OPC/A, a total rewrite and restructure, provided major new enhancements including: improved system management integration, security, control, performance and automation and graphics. TWS/z (1991), takes DP operations a major step forward. A key component of SystemView, TWS/z is IBM's strategic workload scheduler. Surpassing the 1,000 customer milestone in 1991, TWS/z proved it's acceptance in the DP business community worldwide. In 1997 TWS/z became part of the Tivoli family of products for Systems Management, continuing to bring new functions to users; major news were the Sysplex enablement and several usability enhancements. At the same time Tivoli started working on a true end-to-end workload management solution based on Tivoli OPC and Tivoli Workload Scheduler.
Tivoli Workload Scheduler (TWS/d)
The predecessor to Tivoli Workload Scheduler, Maestro was introduced to the market by Unison Software in 1985 as a tool for the Hewlett Packard MPE (HP3000) operating environment. After gaining dominant market share in the MPE space, Maestro was ported to UNIX in 1993 and then to Windows NT a few years later. 1995 marked the birth of a graphical user interface for Maestro.
During this expansion into heterogeneous environments Maestro also achieved leadership in distributed market share. Groundbreaking integration with SAP R/3 and other ERP applications through the mid-nineties established Unison and Maestro as a visionary and technical trailblazer in the world of job scheduling. In 1997, Unison Software merged with Tivoli Systems Inc. and the Maestro product (now known as Tivoli Workload Scheduler) was integrated into the Tivoli Systems Management family of products.
