A method, computer program product, and system includes a processor(s) in a first computing environment obtaining, from a computer system in the first environment, a system message indicating an issue in the computer system. The processor(s) evaluate the message to determine details of the issue and determine recommended action(s) to remedy the issue. The processor(s) generate a notification comprising the action(s), which include calls to portions of the computer system and the notification comprises respective selection options to trigger the processor(s) to execute each of the one or more recommended actions in the first environment. The processor(s) transmit the notification to a computing node in a second computing environment to communicate to a computing device in that environment. The processor(s) receive a response indicating selection of a respective selection option. The processor(s) translate the option into a recommended action and issue calls in the recommended action to the computer system.

Dynamically accessing and configuring secured systems

The invention relates to the control of servers which process client work requests in a computer system on the basis of resource consumption. Each server contains multiple server instances (also called 'execution units') which execute different client work requests in parallel. A workload manager determines the total number of server containers and server instances in order to achieve the goals of the work requests. The number of server instances started in each server container depends on the resource consumption of the server instances in each container and on the resource constraints, service goals and service goal achievements of the work units to be executed. At predetermined intervals during the execution of the work units the server instances are sampled to check whether they are active or inactive. Dependent on the number of active server instances the number of server address spaces and server instances is repeatedly adjusted to achieve an improved utilization of the available virtual storage and an optimization of the system performance in the execution of the application programs.
