Mainframe Layout
The Mainframe Layout shows the mainframe landscape including CPU, Sysplex, LPAR, installed subsystems (Db2®, CICS®, MQ, Control-M, IMS, Natural, Adabas, and so on), and devices (Tapes, Printers, Disks). You can use this function to visualize the detailed information of the mainframe components.
To display the Mainframe Layout, in Application Discovery Browser perspective, from the Projects list in the central part of the Explore Projects view, select the project for which you want to generate a Mainframe Layout graph.
