IBM® Transaction Analysis Workbench for z/OS V1.1 helps system programmers and analysts to analyze transaction performance and behavioral problems by providing a platform for investigating logs and other historical data collected during transaction processing and system operations.

Transaction processing is often complex. Modern applications frequently interact with external subsystems and use system services. Pinpointing the cause of a problem can be difficult. Transaction Analysis Workbench extends the scope of traditional analysis techniques, enabling you to more easily identify problems caused by external events.

IBM Transaction Analysis Workbench contains the following features which help simplify problem analysis:

  • Session manager: The session manager is an ISPF dialog that you use to register problem details and perform analysis. The session manager saves a history of each problem session, useful when resuming or reassigning the analysis.

  • Automated file selection: Locating the data required for analysis can be a tedious manual process. Automated file selection helps locate the required logs and other historical data, and attaches them to your problem session.

Interactive analysis

Transaction Analysis Workbench can analyze data files associated with a problem, presenting the data files in an integrated, interactive, investigative session. Transaction Analysis Workbench can help you analyze the following types of data:

  • For IBM IMS™: IMS log, IMS monitor, IMS CQS log, and IMS Connect event journal, as well as OMEGAMON® for IMS TRF and ATF journals

  • For IBM CICS: CICS monitoring facility (CMF) records

  • For IBM DB2®: DB2 log, DB2 accounting and performance trace SMF records

  • For IBM WebSphere®: WebSphere MQ log extract

  • For IBM z/OS®: Selected SMF record types applicable to problem analysis (including RMF and APPC), and OPERLOG (the sysplex SYSLOG log stream)

Transaction tracking

Interactive analysis enables you to track an individual transaction and identify the significant events in its lifecycle. For example:

  • CICS with DBCTL: From a CICS transaction, view the associated events in the IMS log and OMEGAMON journals.

  • CICS or IMS with DB2: From a CICS or an IMS transaction, view the associated DB2 accounting and performance trace events.

  • IMS with DB2 or WebSphere MQ: From an IMS transaction, view the associated subsystem events.

  • DB2: Analysis of application activity using the DB2 log and performance trace events

  • IMS Connect: IMS transaction and DRDA ODBM database analysis

Reporting

Transaction Analysis Workbench combines its own reporting with other products to help investigate multiple facets of the problem:

  • IMS transaction performance and system analysis, using IBM IMS Performance Analyzer for z/OS

  • CICS transaction performance analysis, using IBM CICS Performance Analyzer for z/OS

  • z/OS system-level analysis, including address space activity, system resource utilization for CPU processors, virtual storage and page data sets, as well as MVS™ system logger and VSAM data set performance

  • DB2 thread accounting, including SQL call elapsed time breakdown

  • WebSphere MQ thread accounting, including GET and PUT call counts and CPU usage

Transaction Analysis Workbench for z/OS is designed to utilize the reporting capabilities of the following products:

  • IMS Performance Analyzer for z/OS, V4.2 (5655-R03), or later or IMS Performance Solution Pack for z/OS, V1.1 (5655-S42) for creating transaction indexes and for in-depth IMS log reporting

  • CICS Performance Analyzer for z/OS V3.1 (5655-U87), or later for running in-depth CICS CMF reporting

Transaction Analysis Workbench for z/OS, V1.1 is designed to analyze the data collected by the following products:

  • IMS Connect Extensions for z/OS, V2.2 (5655-S56), or later or IMS Performance Solution Pack for z/OS, V1.1 (5655-S42) for collecting IMS Connect event data

  • Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for IMS on z/OS, V4.1 (5698-A34), or later, for collecting OMEGAMON TRF and ATF data
