Overview of MainView Transaction Analyzer

Business applications now span multiple subsystems and platforms and this level of complexity changes the meaning of monitoring and managing response times. MainView Transaction Analyzer uses existing data from other BMC AMI Ops 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 is easily understood.

MainView Transaction Analyzer correlates and consolidates the components of transactions as they flow through IBM CICS, Db2, DBCTL, IMSTM, and WebSphere MQ subsystems and across multiple z/OS systems. By using the data that is already collected by other BMC AMI Ops products, MainView Transaction Analyzer can provide information about these complex transactions in near real time.

MainView Transaction Analyzer offers the following benefits:

• Tracks complex transactions as they flow across the sysplex through CICS, Db2, DBCTL, IMS, and WebSphere MQ environments
• Correlates and consolidates transaction information to provide a single view of all of the components of a transaction on demand
• Enhances productivity and minimizes training time with the same consistent, user-friendly interface that is used by all BMC AMI Ops products
• Makes it easy to pinpoint problems by showing the resources that are used by each component of a complex transaction in a single view
• Links to other BMC AMI Ops products with direct hyperlinks to provide extensive analysis and troubleshooting capabilities at the detail level
• Offers a web browser-based interface that is simple to use

These features deliver a facility for improving the mean-time to resolution for debugging and resolving transaction performance problems.
