Z APM Connect request monitoring exits for CICS TG
Z APM Connect uses the request monitoring exits of CICS Transaction Gateway (CICS TG) to trace and track CICS TG requests
The Z APM Connect solution for tracking CICS® TG calls
consists of the following components:
- AGMServerExit: a request monitoring exit to attach to CICS TG
- AGMClientExit: a request monitoring exit to attach to a client application
Z APM Connect uses 2 CTG request monitoring exits to track requests made to CICS TG. Metrics
collected from AGMClientExit and AGMServerExit are reported to the
Z APM Connect Distributed Gateway and APM solution.
