BMC AMI Ops review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Good product.
Used to monitor a large amount of domains (CICS/DB2/MQ and so on) and done correlation between events.
Some parts of product need enhancements (Alarms, CICS/CTG, etc ...) but can be used every day as is.
Interface is friendly and intuitive.
3270 interface can be customized.
Graphic interface is a lot complex.
Pros
- Monitor thresholds
- Give statistics about transactions usage
- Automate some actions on alarms
Cons
- Consumption on alarm domain
- Graphic interface not easy to use (UI)
- Some enhancement about NGL (not easy to track)
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
