Overview

The installation of Compuware Web Products now includes the option to install or upgrade any combination of Compuware Web Products. Compuware Web Products consist of the following:

BMC Compuware Enterprise Services is a required web platform component providing common services for Compuware's web-based products and Topaz Workbench. From CES, you can navigate between other installed Compuware web-based products such as:


    • Abend-AID 
    • Abend-AID Fault Analytics
    • Application Audit
    • iStrobe
    • ISPW
    • ThruPut Manager
    • Topaz for Java Performance
    • Topaz for Total Test Repository Server

Installing CES is required in order to install any of the other BMC Compuware Web Products. In the case where cloud-based licensing has not been implemented, CES would be required for plug-ins licensed through Topaz Workbench. It checks for valid LMS licensing through CES HCI Configuration as described in Configuring CES.

Abend-AID  Fault Analytics detects application faults on mainframe systems and immediately notifies individuals or work groups when a failure occurs. Comprehensive web-based management reporting delivers valuable information on troublesome applications and trends. Fault Analytics provides the tools to continually monitor, measure, control, and improve application quality to achieve promised service levels.

Security Session Monitor allows you to record application activity for auditing purposes. With Security Session Monitor, you can create search requests from which reports are created using data on the mainframe. Users and help desk personnel can access the reports and information they need from the mainframe in a format familiar to them.

iStrobeis an interactive tool for viewing and interpreting Strobe Performance Profiles. With analytical aids and a familiar interface, iStrobe guides you through the performance analysis process and offers recommendations for improving performance.

ISPWWeb is a web-based application designed to be used on desktop web-browser and mobile devices. ISPW enables you to remotely approve or reject ISPW actions as well as deploy software to both mainframe and distributed environments.

ThruPut Manager Web is a web-based application designed to automatically and intelligently optimize batch job processing, verify necessary resources are available, and prevent data set contention.

Topaz for Java Performance (TJP) provides the information needed to tune a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on z/OS. Sampling techniques that account for different environments program load characteristics focus on memory, threads, CPU, and class usage.

Topaz for Total Test Server is used to store test artifacts related to functional testing in Topaz for Total Test.

Warning

Important

Topaz for Total Test non-virtualized testing, also called Functional Test, has some features that require the Total Test Repository Server and z/OS Agent configuration to be completed before these can be used. This specifically is related to testing in a real CICS environment and testing sub programs with a linkage section in Batch. Specifically, palette elements Functional Test, Verify Datasets, Read Records, and Write Records require the Repository Server and the z/OS Agent configuration.

All other non-virtualized/functional Batch testing in the Topaz Workbench works out-of-the-box and does not require the Total Test Repository Server and additional z/OS Agent configuration.
