Company/Inst.:  Allianz Dresdner Informationssysteme GmbH / daughter of the
                Allianz group (Insurances)
Project:        - job scheduling, scripting/programming, administration, more
                details below:
                - systems management software suite IBM Tivoli
                - IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler (TWS): design of the architecture
                in the company (Unix / Windows / IBM Host), TWS consulting,
                software installation and -configuration, expanding the
                TWS network, support, monitoring, reporting
                - TWS 7/24 telephone support for operations with remote access to
                the customer's network.
                - IBM Tivoli software distribution: automatic distribution of
                new software releases and -patches to the clients within
                the Unix network (shell scripts with Tivoli commands and a
                Tivoli desktop, developed with Tivoli Task Library Language TLL)
                - IBM Tivoli Monitoring and Tivoli Enterprise Console:
                monitoring of the TWS network, development of an interface to the
                Tivoli tecad process (Tivoli Enterprise Console Adapter) from the
                enterprise console.
                - IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM, former ADSM): integration
                of TSM backup tasks in TWS, autom. backup of TWS data with
                TSM, restore using TSM.
                - Software Infrastructure Services: development of scripts,
                programs, modules (Perl, ksh, bash, sed/awk) in order to automate
                / simplify administration, workflow and management processes
                - independent design and development of a software distribution
                (at first making use of Tivoli Software Distribution)
                and subsequent automatic Tivoli Workload Scheduler configuration of the
                target nodes / clients. Thus it was possible to attach new TWS Clients
                by simply starting a script.
                - Enhancement of the functionality of the IBM product TWS, e.g.
                by developing an exitcode daemon (Perl/Shell), which affects
                the flow control of processes depending on the exit code of a predecessor.           
                - Development of a complex language parser using lex/yacc (C/C++),
                to transform the ASCII coded TWS object definition language in csv files
                that can be imported by databases like Sybase and mysql. Thus we created
                a database with daily updates to build up a history of all object
                changes and production runs to report to the management.
                - development of an interface for an Intranet data warehouse
                to collect system information / software releases etc.
                with cyclic transfer into the data warehouse.
                - automatic reporting for the management: automatic
                generation of an excel sheet (Visual Basic / Windows Scripting
                Host (WSH)) with daily generated metadata from the UNIX systems.
                - development of tools for the operations branch using the Tivoli
                Task Library Language (TLL) as interface.
                - Intranet: development of an Intranet site for the adjoining department
                of the customer (HTML, XML, php)
                - administration of Apache server, Tomcat server, Cocoon
                - development of Cocoon applications for the Intranet
