Abstract:
1. A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform a process, the instructions comprising instructions to: identify, at a mainframe computing environment during an initiation phase of a management utility process, a first set of tasks for implementing the management utility process and a first database object stored in a storage device; send, by the mainframe computing environment and to a non-mainframe computing environment before completion of the initiation phase and during a distribution phase of the management utility process, a first delegation instruction including a description identifying the first set of tasks, and a first identifier associated with the first database object, the non-mainframe computing environment accessing the first database object in the storage device using the first identifier when processing the first set of tasks associated with the management utility process, the processing being performed without using computing resources included in the mainframe computing environment; identify, at the mainframe computing environment during the initiation phase and after sending the first delegation instruction during the distribution phase, a second set of tasks for implementing the management utility process and a second database object stored in the storage device; send, by the mainframe computing environment and to the non-mainframe computing environment during the distribution phase, a second delegation instruction including a description identifying the second set of tasks, and a second identifier associated with the second database object, the non-mainframe computing environment accessing the second database object in the storage device using the second identifier when processing the second set of tasks associated with the management utility process, the processing being performed without using computing resources included in the mainframe computing environment; receive a first indicator, at the mainframe computing environment, that processing based on the first set of tasks associated with the management utility process has been completed; receive a second indicator, at the mainframe computing environment, that processing based on the second set of tasks associated with the management utility process has been completed; and execute a termination phase of the management utility process at the mainframe computing environment in response to receiving the first indicator and the second indicator.
