BMC MainView VistaPoint

Track Workloads Across the Mainframe

IT problem

Monitoring of the z/OS operating environment, including subsystems is universal, however, monitoring key business applications goes beyond monitoring the individual systems and subsystems that applications run on. There is a clear need to monitor and manage applications across subsystems and see that activity in an integrated fashion.

BMC solution

BMC MainView VistaPoint monitors application performance by tracking workloads across z/OS, CICS, DB2, and IMS. Using the single-point-of-control MainView console, users can now monitor an application, just as they would monitor an underlying subsystem.

Features and benefits

• Collects performance information from any or all of the following MainView monitors: MainView for CICS, MainView for DBCTL, MainView for DB2, and MainView for IMS
• Crosses operating systems and subsystem to provide a complete picture of application components
• Supplies Application Views that match user business needs and environment
• Presents data in a easy to understand format across systems – increasing productivity

Key differentiators

• Delivers full integration with the MainView family of monitors
• Provides alarms based on exceptions
