Tivoli Business Systems Manager provides a consistent systems management view of an enterprise. Most enterprises have a set of business objectives. Those business objectives can be achieved using various business systems. A business system might comprise various hardware and software packages from multiple vendors, as well as user-written applications. One or more of the applications within a business system can make use of various middleware components such as database, messaging services, or a transaction monitor.
If your business system uses the CICS transaction monitor managed by CICSPlex® SM, Tivoli Business Systems Manager provides an agent to integrate with CICSPlex SM systems management.
The agent provided by Tivoli Business Systems Manager enables an individual using the Tivoli Business Systems Manager client to view status information for CICSPlex SM-managed resources. These resources include the CICSplex, CMAS, MAS, transactions and files.
Tivoli Business Systems Manager uses the CICSPlex SM API, EXEC CPSM, to discover the CICSPlex SM objects it monitors. Tivoli Business Systems Manager collects events generated as a result of SAM (Systems Automation Monitoring) and RTA (Real Time Analysis) processing, in order to monitor the status of these resources.
Tivoli Business Systems Manager also provides the user with the ability to link to the CICSPlex SM Web User Interface.
For details of the Tivoli Business Systems Manager agent for CICSPlex SM, see the Tivoli Business Systems Manager CICSPlex SM Release Notes.
