BMC MAINVIEW Transaction Analyzer

Business Challenge

The mainframe has evolved from being the dominant platform for processing critical applications to one platform among many. Many applications now span multiple subsystems and platforms. This level of complexity changes the meaning of monitoring and managing response times, and it makes it difficult to determine the root cause of problems. Pinpointing problems becomes difficult, if not impossible.

Business Need

  • Users need to monitor, troubleshoot, tune, isolate and resolve problems across complex environments.
  • Pinpoint root cause of problems quickly
  • Consolidate information about a transaction as it travels through multiple subsystems
  • Track transactions without additional overhead or slowdowns

Our Solution

The BMC MAINVIEW Transaction Analyzer product uses exclusive technology to correlate the resources used by complex transactions across multiple systems. MAINVIEW Transaction Analyzer uses existing data from other MAINVIEW monitoring products to provide a consolidated view of the activities of components to give you a single source of information to analyze a wide spectrum of problems. MAINVIEW Transaction Analyzer provides correlated, aggregated information in a format that users can easily understand. MAINVIEW Transaction Analyzer provides the consolidated data in near real-time.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Tracks complex transactions through a sysplex as the transactions travel through CICS, DB2, and IMS
  • Makes it easy to pinpoint problems by correlating and consolidating transaction information from different systems
  • Improves debugging capabilities by providing information about the flow of the transaction and by showing where delays occurred
  • Simplifies complex z/OS environments by showing what happened to a transaction while it was in the sysplex
