Getting started

IBM Instana and IBM Instana Observability for z/OS support numerous different combinations of services that you can trace. Start with a basic test scenario to get IBM Instana and the core Z APM Connect processing and tracing components in place and work correctly. This streamlines the process and simplifies the potential debugging, and you can validate the flow from distributed side to z/OS service.

Tip:

For testing purposes, first complete the configuration of the core Z APM Connect processing and tracing components, and then set up TLS certificates, if needed.

The following are some basic examples to consider as a test scenario:

Scenario a:

See the example to get started: Getting started with a CICS test scenario

Scenario c:
