Getting started

Choose a test scenario to get started.

IBM Instana and Instana Observability on z/OS support numerous different combinations of services that can be traced. It is recommended that you 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 will streamline the process and make potential debugging easier, while ensuring you can validate the flow from distributed side to z/OS service.

Here are three basic examples you might consider as your test scenario:

Scenario a:

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

Scenario b:

Scenario c:
