Technical Details

Global corporations are implementing key technologies supporting transition to Cloud computing, Big Data Analytics, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), and data center transformation in order to be more agile in their business services. The corresponding infrastructure upgrades to meet these business demands must also contend with major outside influences like regulatory compliance mandates, government and industry compliance imperatives, and internal audit directives. These programs and projects are all increasing the transaction rates and user demands on your z/OS systems.

CleverView for TCP/IP is the mainframe IP workload and /traffic monitor that continues to set the pace, providing unsurpassed performance and availability monitoring. CleverView for TCP/IP uniquely supports network traffic monitoring from z/OS®, z/VM® and Linux on System z® with OSAENTA trace support. This allows faster problem diagnosis across LPARs, thus improving service levels in virtualized environments.

CleverView for TCP/IP helps performance analysts, operations personnel, knowledge workers, system programmers, and capacity planners effectively monitor performance, and plan for the future. Its superior performance monitoring makes it the ultimate choice for large IBM^®-hosted data centers undergoing wide scale Business Services transformation. By combining real-time monitoring and alerts to potential problems with in-depth historical reporting of activity and trends, CleverView for TCP/IP gives you a proactive, comprehensive, automated solution to z/OS TCP/IP workload performance and availability management.

Powering zEnterprise connectivity service performance, CLEVER Mobile^® for z/COMM offers a secure z/OS command facility for authorized users. Through their mobile devices IT staff members have access to the monitored information collected by the server solution CleverView for TCP/IP. With CLEVER Mobile for z/COMM option implemented, mobile access to monitored metrics provided by SysPoint Dashboard, Thru24 Alerts, LinkView, Connect Expert, and z/OS system messages is essential to keeping a z/OS environment running at peak performance. The real power lies in the ability of CLEVER Mobile for z/COMM to allow z/OS system-wide system message monitoring, alert notification, z/OS® and TSO command submission, and CLIST and REXX script execution from the mobile device. Messages can be filtered based on monitoring by groups such as VTAM, Enterprise Extender, Intrusion Detection Service, Communication Server, FTP, MQSeries® and more. The powerful alert and command capability with classification is standard on all products in the CLEVER Mobile Advantage family.

Network Performance and Availability Reporting: Someone Has to Start It
Including a detailed look at innovative ways to proactively measure network service level goals using various TCP/IP Utilities.

The measurement of network service levels has long been a neglected practice by the performance industry. This is most likely due to a lack of network skills training and standard measurement and reporting definitions, as well as the fast pace of emerging technologies. There are, however, some TCP/IP utilities that present a practical opportunity to measure network service level goals proactively. With some development effort, nominal coding and collaboration with other network tools, these TCP/IP utilities are very useful. This paper shows how such utilities may be used to gather network service level statistics. Sample reports are also provided. Download
