BMC MainView for DBCTL

We’re watching DBCTL so you can watch your business

DBCTL combines the power of IMS TM and CICS to provide fast transaction management. DBCTL doesn’t run in isolation; multiple IMS systems communicate with each other and with other database management systems, transaction managers, and components used in web enablement. Processing a common workload in this multi-system environment presents unique challenges in systems management and performance monitoring. How can you monitor, manage, and automate DBCTL workloads to optimize performance and ensure high availability?

It ensures the availability, performance, and throughput of business applications and identifies performance problems so that you can correct them before they cause outages. It is tightly integrated with MainView for CICS to provide a complete picture of the IT environment.
