Enabling support for tracking CICS Transaction Gateway

Edit online

If you use the Instana APM solution, then you must install the Z APM Connect request monitoring exits to track the CICS Transaction Gateway (CICS TG). The monitoring exits provide the Instana backend with the CICS Transaction Gateway workload data.

About this task

For each client application invocation that is to be tracked, you must complete the following tasks:
  • Attach AGMClientExit to the client application invocation. Attach AGMClientExit as a request monitoring exit.
  • Obtain an Instana Java SDK package. Add the file to the class path. Add the Z APM Connect CICS TG tracking the Java package (com.ibm.zapm.ctg.exit) to the Instana agent's configuration.yaml.
  • Attach AGMServerExit to the CICS Transaction Gateway that the client application connects to. Attach AGMServerExit as a request monitoring exit.
