Provides Complete Control
ASG-TMON BSM’s Performance Management capabilities empower you to manage business services however you deem necessary. ASG-TMON BSM’s features give you the choice and the ability to actualize the true potential of your IT systems.
Monitors Your Enterprise in Real-Time
Track resource usage and process activity at the business service level and all of the physical components that make up the service, including server, database, application, network, operating system, application server or online transaction processing level (IMS/CICS/WebSphere), storage, even some third-party applications such as SAP R/3. In many cases, ASG-TMON BSM solutions offer the lowest overhead of any products in the category.
Alerts Key Personnel Automatically
Important alerts are sent via email to any BSM device or third party product or via WTO console message on the IBM z/OS mainframe. ASG-TMON BSM also allows you to be proactive in managing the environment. Users can set thresholds, (e.g., information, warning, critical, etc.) based on any metric. Alerts can be organized by specific business service, or set to inform at the infrastructure component level. In addition, unlike other software, ASG-TMON BSM has an extremely robust and flexible exception manager. As such, it can be set to have shift sensitivity (e.g., 8:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.) and allow cascading conditions.
Identifies and Tracks Problems Dynamically
Quickly isolate performance problems and receive key data necessary to manage the business service across the environment.
Simplifies Manual Problem Tracking
In addition to dynamic problem tracking, ASG-TMON BSM includes powerful exception processing and productivity-enhancing utilities, each of which is specific to the environment they are in, allowing users to problem-solve without leaving the ASG-TMON BSM context.
ASG-TMON BSM also enables tracing of individual transactions, terminals, and applications with its Supertrace facility. Supertrace is a granular data collection, either manual or initiated, that traces data at an extreme technical level.
Initiates Automatic Responses
Because ASG-TMON BSM relies on policy-based performance management, users can quickly and easily set policies (i.e., exception/alert definitions) to define thresholds for various metrics and to define which actions to take when conditions are not normal. When a threshold is exceeded, ASG-TMON BSM can issue any type of command to start, stop, or cancel processes. On the mainframe, nearly anything that can be issued from an MVS console can be issued from ASG-TMON BSM. Overall, ASG-TMON BSM improves staff effectiveness, thereby increasing and maintaining business efficiency.
Shifts Environments Seamlessly
ASG-TMON BSM lets you maintain environment-specific data and the context of the problem being solved.
Provides Comprehensive Analysis and Reporting
ASG-TMON BSM allows for user-customizable and default online and batch reporting and includes hundreds of pre-packaged reports that help manage growth and forecast budgets. Powerful filter criteria helps users perform long-term trend analysis for resource consumption, capacity planning, and charge backs. ASG-TMON BSM offers valuable real-time access to data, allowing you to make better management decisions.
