Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In one general aspect, a computer-readable storage medium can be configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform a process. The instructions can include instructions to identify, at a mainframe computing environment during an initiation phase associated with a management utility process, a set of tasks for implementing the management utility process, and instructions to send, to a non-mainframe computing environment, a description identifying at least a portion of the set of tasks. The instructions can also include instructions to receive an indicator, at the mainframe computing environment, that processing based on the at least the portion of the set of tasks associated with the management utility process has been completed, and instructions to execute a termination phase of the management utility process at the mainframe computing environment in response to the indicator.
