supportAllows customers to exploit the latest technologies for the zEnterprise® leveraging their significant investment in the System z® platform

Product Navigation Context sensitive menu of available commands with Line command assist

Provides user direction within CA SYSVIEW® screens allowing for command free navigation thus not requiring a user to remember all line commands

Training videos Provide short training videos targeted at an inexperienced user.

Provides access to short instructional training for self served needs. Enhances the ability for the customer to maximize new user uptime via self directed learning.

Documentation Move all user manuals and product resident documentation to a wiki.

Documentation is easily accessible, searchable and shareable for self service needs

CICS Exec interface trace Ability to trace CICS transactions and analyze the results.

Locate detailed information about related CICS transactions across the complex.

Metric Best Practice for new customers

Default enable metric data collection has been significantly reduced.

Log stream enhancements

Added filter capability to all log stream browsing commands

Allows the user to easily find interesting historical transactions


Product NavigationContext sensitive menu of available commands with line command assist

BENEFITS

Feature• 3270 User navigation requires the understanding of command

interface

• Manipulation of data for filtering is difficult

• Difficult for the user to intuitively know what command they initiate at any point of the system

• Provide Line command assist

• Provide ability to use mouse clicks to sort data by column as necessary

• Ability to more easily enter help in a contextual sense of a specific column variable

• Simplify Software Usage through enhanced navigation of the command interface

• Simplify Software Usage through reduction in the need to remember all commands and their purpose

• Accelerate Software Deployment through faster time to production for new inexperienced users

PAIN

SOLUTIONInsert screenshot here


Training VideosProvide short training videos targeted at an inexperienced user

BENEFITS

Feature• Users onboard and offboard at different times.

• We have hundreds of customers in remote locations. Instructor led user training is logistically difficult.”

• “I cannot afford to train all of my users.”

• Provide small videos for existing features

• Provide small videos for new features showing use case and flow

• Posted videos to reside on support online, documentation wiki and Youtube.

• Simplify Software Usage through computer based training

• Simplify Software Usage through on demand need based features


PAIN



DocumentationMove all user manuals and product resident documentation to a wiki

BENEFITS

Feature• Finding information in your product documentation is difficult

• Some documentation is only available in the product itself after install

• Sharing this information could be improved

• All user manuals will be moved to the ca documentation wiki

• All product resident documentation (HOWTO, TOPICS, PARMLIB documentation) will be moved to the wiki

• All product documentation will be searchable via Google

• All documentation will be easily shareable with users using deep, topic specific URLs

• Continuous Availability by making information about using the product more accessible

• Simplify Software Usage by better educating users on the effective use of the product

• Accelerate Software Deployment by reducing the user educational barrier to adoption and decreasing time to value

PAIN



CICS Exec Interface TraceAbility to trace CICS transactions and analyze the result

BENEFITS

Feature• Users often need detailed information about a CICS transaction

to analyze application performance problems

• Collecting a high level of detail for all transactions 24x7 can be prohibitive from a system overhead standpoint

• Finding the transactions for analysis can be difficult

• Users can request that granular information be collected for transactions that may run in the future

• Transactions can be selected by transaction name or group, region name or group, userid, or terminal

• CA SYSVIEW® will find all matching transactions, and downstream correlated transactions, across all CICS regions and all systems in the enterprise

• The user can easily accessed the results in a consolidated list

• Continuous Availability by assisting users in discovering and understanding application or business service flow

• Continuous Availability by assisting users in analyzing possible performance pain points in the context of an application

• Landing Lightly by allowing minimal details to be collected for all transactions 24x7, with the confidence that a user can dynamically get additional detail only when necessary

PAIN

PLANNED SOLUTIONInsert screenshot here


Log Stream EnhancementsAdded filter capability to all log stream browsing commands

BENEFITS

Feature• “I can’t find the transactions that I am interested in, particularly

when I am in firefighting mode.”

• “My users do not understand how to search the CA SYSVIEW® logs and often times end up issuing inefficient search queries. These queries rarely provide the user the data they were seeking and they kill our systems because they are so expensive.”

• Add FILTER panel to all logstream browse commands

• Logstream read performance enhancements

• Add default response SLA to all logstream browse commands

• Duplex “interesting” transactions to a dedicated logstream

• Continuous Availability by enabling users to more easily find and analyze the most relevant historical data

• Simplified Software Usage by providing users more guided assistance and requiring less typing of commands with long syntax

• Landing Lightly by preventing low-value, ad-hoc queries from stealing finite system CPU resources

PAIN

Mobile Workload Support Support for IBM’s new Mobile Workload Pricing Plan by allowing customers to identify work that initiates from a mobile device.

Gives the user visibility into metrics that may lower costs for customers taking advantage of IBM’s mobile workload pricing for z/OS.

APM Enhancements Enhanced installation and integration support for cross enterprise application monitoring

Lowers the cost of ownership of a cross enterprise solution while extending the applications availabe to be monitored
