Transaction tracking * * would stop after CICS1. * * 2 - There is no ability for similar * * CICS regions to be grouped together * * on the AppDynamics UI. * * 3 - Unable to list monitored DTP * * transactions. * * 4 - zAPM Connect IMS modules lack * * serviceability information. * * 5 - zAPM Connect did not track async * * transactions correctly * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply this ++APAR. * **************************************************************** 1 - zAPM Connect needs to track transactions that flow from CICS to MQ to CICS. 2 - zAPM Connect needs to group similar functional CICS regions for easier display on the AppDynamics UI. 3 - zAPM Connect needs an easier way to list what DTP transactions are being monitored. 4 - zAPM Connect IMS modules are missing comments. 5 - zAPM Connect needs update to correctly handle async calls
Problem conclusion
Changes to Z APM include the following: 1 - Tracking has been added for application flows across CICS regions that use an MQ message (MQPUT and MQGET) to communicate across regions. 2 - Allow groupings of CICS regions for display on the AppDynamics UI. 3 - List what DTP transactions, Group, and monitored MQ queues are being tracked. 4 - Serviceability information has been added to the IMS modules. 5 - Tracking has been added for CICS calls made using the EXEC CICS START API
