Product address space (PAS)

A PAS runs as a started task. It consists of special routines, including a data collector, to support one or more 

MainView

 products.

  • The following products use the z/OS PAS:

    • CMF MONITOR
    • MainView for z/OS
    • MainView for Unix System Services
    • MainView SYSPROG Services
    • MainView VistaPoint (for IBM z/OS MVS workloads)

    One z/OS PAS runs on a single system image and always connects to the CAS on that system image.

  • The following products use the BBI-SS PASs:

    • MainView AutoOPERATOR
    • MainView for CICS
    • MainView for DB2
    • MainView for DBCTL
    • MainView for IMS Online
    • MainView for MQ
    • MainView VistaPoint (for CICS, Db2, DBCTL, and IMS workloads)

    Multiple instances of the BBI-SS PAS can run on a single system image and can contain one or more products. Depending on the products installed, the BBI-SS PAS might or might not connect to a CAS on that system image.

    BBI-SS PASs on local and remote systems are linked. This linking provides cross-system communication for an individual terminal session through a local BBI-SS PAS to any other BBI-SS PAS.

  • The following products use product-specific PASs:

    • MainView for IP
    • MainView for VTAM
    • MainView for WebSphere Application Server
    • MainView SRM
    • MainView Transaction Analyzer

    For MainView for VTAM, multiple instances of the PAS can run on a single system image. 

    For MainView for IP, MainView for WebSphere Application Server, MainView SRM, and MainView Transaction Analyzer, only one product-specific PAS can be active for each product on a system image.
