Energizer architecture

Energizer uses a multi-tiered architecture that features the BMC AMI Command Center for IMS and the Common Interface Server (CIS) server. These tiers work together, and can vary, based on your site’s installation. 

The following figure shows the Energizer architecture:

The BMC AMI Command Center and CIS server work together to provide a user interface (UI) for BMC products such as Energizer. The CIS server is a TCP/IP application that controls communication between the BMC AMI Command Center and the mainframe. 

Warning

Important

If you have installed and fully customized Energizer and the eLink address space becomes unavailable—for example, it is on a different system and that system was IPLed—transactions are still processed. The DataStore Router, WorkLoad Governor, security, and exits continue to function as they did before the eLink became unavailable. However, you cannot dynamically reload exits or view statistics until you restart the eLink address space. When the eLink is started, you do not need to recycle IMS Connect.

The way in which these tiers work together can vary, based on your site’s installation. The CIS server is an SMP/E installable component and is installed on the mainframe by using the Installation System. After the CIS server is installed, configured, and running, the BMC AMI Command Center web-based application can be accessed. The following figure shows a sample environment:

Warning

Important

Depending on the products enabled by BMC AMI Command Center that you have installed on the mainframe, the CIS server can be installed on one system in a sysplex or on every system in a sysplex.
