AUTOMON®/LogAnalyzer - OS390

AUTOMON/LogAnalyzer for Batch works in conjunction with and as an enhancement to AUTOMON/CICS. It allows experienced AUTOMON users to diagnose the history log on a regular basis to aid problem resolution. AUTOMON/LogAnalyzer takes the information provided by AUTOMON and produces a clear and easy to read report of the problems encountered within your system. The report can be distributed to both system and application programmers to speed problem determination and rectification.

The AUTOMON/CICS history database contains a compilation of all system conditions occurring outside of user-specified threshold values. The messages written to this database provide information pertaining to many exceptional and degradational conditions occurring within the system. In addition, all transaction abends, storage violations and system crash conditions are recorded in this VSAM file. The data within the history database is an invaluable aid to problem determination and performance tuning. A regular review of the history database file can help the system programmer to maintain optimal performance from all CICS regions. However, the sheer volume of information provided can sometimes make the evaluation of this important data a time-consuming process. That is why AUTOMON/LogAnalyzer was developed.

CICS on-line system availability can be directly translated to dollars. Unscheduled "down time" or slow "response time" can cause lost customers and orders, scheduling problems and overall inefficiency. Once CICS problems are encountered, those responsible for its availability and performance need to find permanent solutions to these issues quickly. Whether you have a large or small scale online system, AUTOMON/LogAnalyzer's analysis aids in providing immediate solutions in many aspects of CICS. These solutions allow you to operate your CICS system with minimum down time and maximum throughput. This results in the smooth operation of your online environment and, most of all, satisfied end users.
