Key benefits

Business challenge

Organizations that execute several million transactions a day cannot afford to have an outage. Managers of large enterprises require reliable, fast, and secure environments. For this reason, the enterprise server has become a viable platform for enterprises that add front-end Web access for business-critical data already residing on the enterprise server.

With the advent of UNIX running within OS/390 with OS/390 UNIX System Services, data center personnel are even more challenged to understand the impact of new UNIX System Services workloads and resource consumption within their OS/390 enterprises.

As organizations implement e-business applications that use IBM's® WebSphere, management of an organization's z/OS Web server environment becomes a critical requirement. Enterprise server solutions must be equipped to manage traffic from the Web server's view.

While complex computing environments continually evolving, technical resources are limited. More complicated systems demand more time to be invested in monitoring and system management.

Manage the WebSphere environment

MAINVIEW for Web Enablement provides Web monitoring and management for applications integrated with WebSphere. Putting the Web server and the data on the same server means better performance, because transfers take place much faster than they would over the network connections.

MAINVIEW for Web Enablement offers improved availability, recoverability, and service. It helps you determine how well end users are being serviced.

Manage the TCP/IP environment

MAINVIEW for Web Enablement specifically addresses the key areas of availability, tuning, and throughput relative to the TCP/IP communications protocol. It allows administrators to measure usage by host name as well as address type and correlated network throughput with other events occurring on the system.

MAINVIEW for Web Enablement provides both summary and detailed statistics for network connections to a particular host. It provides performance statistics on various levels, including global, by IP address, and by port number.

Manage the UNIX System Services environment

MAINVIEW for Web Enablement provides key metrics in an easy-to-understand fashion, allowing you to effectively manage UNIX System Services. It allows you to observe workloads and resources consumed from the UNIX System Services perspective that traditional performance monitors are unable to see.

MAINVIEW for Web Enablement provides detailed information about processes and relates them back to the OS/390 address space. You can take action to avoid problems before they occur.

MAINVIEW for Web Enablement allows you to equate the UNIX file systems or underlying file structure to the OS/390 data set names so that you can understand the performance and resource issues in both OS/390 and UNIX terms.

MAINVIEW integration

MAINVIEW solutions from BMC Software provide reliable, integrated sets of products that give you complete control of your stand-alone enterprise server or complex parallel sysplex environment. With MAINVIEW at work in your enterprise, your data center operates more efficiently and manages application service levels from a business perspective. Many problems are detected and solved automatically, and troubleshooting is easier and faster.

Complementary solutions
