Common Enterprise Services

The Session Monitor web application provides access from a web browser to the mainframe for Archive/Search through BMC AMI Common Enterprise Services (CES), a web-based interface. The purpose of CES is to create a communication pipeline that allows information to flow from the mainframe to the web browser and from the web browser to the mainframe. This permits users and help desk personnel to more easily access the reports and information they need from the mainframe in a format that they are more familiar with.

You will be able to create two types of search requests:

  • Upon each repository switch, perform a search using standard criteria.
  • Create unique search requests that will include all of the archived repositories for a given date range.

Search results are displayed in a drill-down interface.

To use the Session Monitor web application, you will log on using your mainframe user ID and password. You will not be required to use a 3270 emulator to access the mainframe. Report data will be secured because users will only be able to access reports that they have the authorization to read.

For detailed information on how to use the Session Monitor web application, see the Session Monitor online help. Refer to BMC AMI Web Products Installation and Configuration to learn how to install Session Monitor and CES.
