Z APM Connect IMS Data Producer

Edit online

Z APM Connect IMS Data Producer (IMS Data Producer) is a collection of exit code that run in the IMS and IMS Connect regions. It must be installed into all IMS regions and IMS Connect that require monitoring. For IMS TMRA tracking, an Instana Java Agent needs to be installed on the client server, such as the WebSphere Application Server (WAS). For IMS MQ Bridge tracking, only the IMS Control region configuration is required.

IMS Data Producer allows you to track performance of transactions as they flow through IMS subsystems. The transactions that are already being tracked, meaning they contain tracking tokens, will be tracked from the following aspects.

  • Transactions entering IMS Connect through an IMS Transaction Manager resource adapter (IMS TM resource adapter).
  • Transactions entering IMS Connect through z/OS® Connect Enterprise Edition.
  • Transactions flowing into IMS through IMS Connect.
  • Transactions flowing into IMS accessing IMS Full-function Databases.
  • IMS PLEX (IMS to IMS) transactions.
  • IMS FastPath (FP) transactions.
  • IMS FastPath DEDB and MSDB Databases.
  • IMS Full Function to FP DEDB and MSDB Databases.
  • IMS MQ Bridge Transactions.
