About HERO for Workload Automation
Enterprises depend on Workload Automation to manage business critical workloads, reduce operating costs and deploy new services faster. HCL HERO effectively helps IT Administrators monitor the health of their servers and perform informed recovery actions with specialized Runbooks, keeping your multiple Workload Automation environments responsive and reliable. HERO suggests solution for the know problems and provides an extensible runbook library that helps quickly find a solution for not know problems. The WA Administrator can create his own runbooks and share them among all the operators.
Detect & Understand Hidden Issues
HERO helps to detect if Servers (MDM, BKM, WAS, DWC, Liberty) are not performing as expected, for instance, due to a peak, a network delay, or a misconfiguration. HERO works even if the WA infrastructure is down.
Perform Root Cause Analysis
HERO combines tracking of specialized WA KPIs (stored in a Big Data platform) and machine-learning capabilities to recognize, for instance, when the data processing efficiency of MDM lowers under a critical threshold.

Run The Solution
Operators might need to change WA Server configuration. HERO provides instructions to operators and, if possible, runs recovery procedures automatically. Also, HERO helps trainee operators to solve infrastructure issues.
Prevent Issues
HERO provides actual KPIs, such as active throughputs and queues, so that WA Administrators can monitor and analyze performances. HERO provides trend estimation of KPIs to predict downtime & overload.
