BMC MAINVIEW for UNIX System Services

 

Business Challenge

The demands on OS/390 and z/OS enterprises have never been greater. z/OS and OS/390 continue to grow more complex. With the advent of UNIX running within OS/390 and z/OS, key performance personnel are even more challenged to understand the impact of new USS workloads and resource consumption within their OS/390 and z/OS enterprises.

Business Need

  • Appplications must be available and perform at levels required to satisfy business needs
  • Applications must run consistently and meet explicit or implied Service Level Agreements
  • Need for availability, performance, and throughput of mission-critical business applications
  • Desire for optimal system resource allocation to support critical business application requirements.
  • Need to tie key USS resources to OS/390 and z/OS WLM constructs

Our Solution

The MAINVIEW for UNIX System Services product is designed to manage and monitor UNIX applications running under OS/390. MAINVIEW for USS allows users to observe workloads and resources consumed from the USS perspective that traditional performance monitors are unable to see. MAINVIEW for USS monitors processes, file systems, BPXPRM parameters, HFS global buffers and user information.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Unravels UNIX System Services workloads and resources
  • Compares performance values against values in BPXPRMxx to detect threats to application availability
  • Provides detailed information on USS hierarchical file systems
  • Tracks resource use and process activity generated by a user or group of users
  • MAINVIEW Explorer provides a Web-based user interface to the data provided by MAINVIEW for USS.
