BMC Software Inc.
You can track CICS task, take actions on them if some are hang or looping. You can go to the past because activity is recorded ans all metrics are available later. You can do correlation between CICS/Db2/MQ when you have CICS transactions doing access to these domains. You can set thresholds or alarms on some metrics to take actions or be alerted when exceeded.

Cons
BMC Software Inc.
  • Some of the data in java (or web) is presented in what looks like the original ISPF panels. Functional, but not pretty. Keep the same info but make it more presentable
  • More online help on field. Or expanded help
  • perhaps an option for fewer screens for novice users

BMC Software Inc.
BMC AMI Cloud and Data provides a data resiliency solution for the cloud. It is for customers looking to 1. backup their decades-worth of data stored in physical or virtual tapes to Cloud storage (AWS S3), 2. perform analytics and business intelligence to run targeted customers or campaigns on mainframe data now available in the cloud, and 3. use the data as backup/ restore copies in the event of a disaster.
