    OpenTelemetry tracing enables end-to-end tracking of requests
    across different subsystems, making it easier to identify
    performance bottlenecks and failures efficiently.
    OpenTelemetry is vendor-neutral, integrating seamlessly with
    various monitoring tools to facilitate faster troubleshooting
    and improved system performance.
    
    Features provided as part of OpenTelemetry tracing support for
    IBM CICS Transaction Gateway 10.1 for z/OS:
    
    Supported clients - Java, Jakarta EE, Java EE, Spring Boot,
    .NET Framework and .NET Core
    Auto instrumentation - OpenTelemetry tracing for CICS
    Transaction Gateway supports auto instrumentation that allows
    seamless tracing with minimal configuration. Additionally,
    customers can implement manual instrumentation using the APIs
    provided by the CICS Transaction Gateway SDK, enabling precise
    control over tracing and deeper insights into application
    performance.
    Configurable settings - These settings allow enabling and
    disabling of span creation within both CICS Transaction Gateway
    and the CICS Transaction Gateway SDK that is used by the client
    application.
    

Problem conclusion

  • IBM CICS Transaction Gateway 10.1 for z/OS now includes
    OpenTelemetry tracing feature.
