Define "mainframe administrator", please.

Mainframe administrator means :-
\Who is accountable to support, moniter , modify, maintain the issues related to mainframes server ..
e.g like mainframe operator, mainframe administrator..etc..

Any one please help......

Did you read Enrico's post? Did you read the article to which he posted the link?

I would say that, in general, there is no such role as 'mainframe administrator' unlike in unix. You would have administrators in various subsets of the mainframe eg storage, database, operations etc.

Thanks Nicc..
