In our organisation happilo we use BMC AMI Ops as a complete real time monitoring solution. The software help us in getting better visibility into system performance, workload and other resources from a single user interface this is the tool that is actively used for infrastructure team and also monitor memory consumptions, transaction performance and overall system in longrun.

Pros

  • After installing BMC AMI Ops we have got real-time monitoring and alerts during any system issues
  • The system is mainly automated and helps in reducing work load and human errors
  • Due to high workload we have faced slow system responses but this tool helped in optimising the performance and allocate the system resources better

Cons

  • As compared to newer monitoring tools the user interface of BMC AMI Ops feels more outdated and less user friendly
  • Also the system is mainly dependent on mainframe that's why to utilise it on its fullest capabilities the team need to have a good knowledge of IBM Z systems
  • The software consume all the resources especially when it is monitoring on large scale environment

Return on Investment

  • Before installing this software we used to face unplanned outages and delay issue but with real time monitoring and intelligent alerts our overall downtown time has been reduced by more than 32-35% this year
  • Also operational cost have been reduced by more than 20 to 25% due to reduced in manual workload and focus on higher value task

  • In advance communication of possible upcoming failures.
  • Alerting systems in case of failures.

Cons

  • Costing could be better.
  • UI could be better, look wise.

Review of BMC AMI Ops by new user who is experienced in mainframe monitoring

Brian Laube
DBA in Information Technology at Manulife Financial (5001-10,000 employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use BMC AMI Ops to monitor our mainframe applications and the mainframe environment. I find the BMC AMI Ops provide all the available information and in a detailed manner. I appreciate that there are several alternate interfaces to basically the same data. It depends upon your comfort level. Either ISPF, java or web-based.

Pros

  • Monitor Db2 application activity
  • Monitor Db2 application history
  • give overall info on the mainframe and LPARs

Cons

  • 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

Return on Investment

  • Quickly identify problems when they occur
  • Highlight what are possible solutions or changes to minimize or fix the problem
  • Provides data that can be shown to managment

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am a DB2 DBA and currently using the BMC products to support my DB2 functions. Currently working on loading the DB2 performance statistics. I also use the Mainview monitor to see DB2 thread activity. In some scales, I have used it to cancel threads

Pros

  • DB2 redirected recovery to recover databases in different DB2 environments
  • Extracting HDDL for an entire database before it was decommissioned, to keep in case of recovery required
  • Looking a zparms to validate changes

Cons

  • I wish there was some more help for new users

Return on Investment

  • Using the BMC products helps me understand and address my DB2 questions
