BMC AMI Transaction Management for IMS^™

• Interactively add databases, programs, transactions, and route codes without an IMSGEN

• Implement a group of dependent resource definition changes across multiple IMS systems

• Record all resource definition updates and provide an audit trail of resource definition changes

• Provide information about the relationships between IMS resources

• Simplify the management of IMS virtual devices, including automatic device signoff or logoff, dequeue of messages, and exit of conversations

BMC AMI Extended Terminal Assist for IMS eliminates the need for an Extended Terminal Option (ETO) license, reducing software costs and eliminating the need to write and maintain terminal and communications exits.

• Provides an application view of messaging with message profiling and grouping

• Simplifies message queue management by using displays, unloads, deletes, and re-queues

• Prevents outages caused by invalid messages and message flooding

• Recovers messages intelligently at the individual, group, or system level

• Recovers from application errors by unloading erroneous messages from the IMS message queue or the IMS logs

Monitor and manage IMS message queues to prevent outages, and significantly improve IMS restart time in shared and local queue environments. Expand the functionality of IMS Connect and tailor it for your environment.

• Eliminates the need to code assembly language exits

• Balances workloads

• Enables dynamic changes, thereby reducing the number of times IMS Connect must be recycled

• Prevents outages caused by runaway transactions overloading datastores

• Gathers the log records that are relevant to the problem and correlates the raw data into an application flow, grouping related records into logical units of work (LUOWs), sorting them, and identifying them with understandable labels

• Filters the “noise” from the IMS logs to reflect all events for the IMS transaction or application flow you specify

• Provides a high-level view of application processing for a single IMS or your entire IMS environment

• Shows a transaction in context with other activity that was occurring in the system
