Optimize for Infrastructure: Mainframe Edition Circle of Benefits October 9, 2012 6 Optimize tells you when important parameters reach pre-set tolerances even via email Optimize gives you one place to go to monitor multiple products Optimize draws a picture of system health by comparing real-time performance to historical data Optimize saves you time by monitoring only the elements critical to performance
October 9, 2012 7 webmethods Optimize for ADABAS/Natural Terminals (e.g. 3270) Monitoring Points of Interest EntireX RPC Wrapper Java or.net Application Web or Windows Clients Natural Application Programs Transactions EntireX Broker Reports, Output, Print EntireX RPC Wrapper EntireX RPC Server Web Services Natural Application Net-Work Adabas Adabas webmethods Optimize
Key Features and Benefits
Consolidate Inputs into a Single Graphic Display October 9, 2012 9 One browser consolidates multiple green-screen monitoring tools Single graphical view displays realtime and historical information Easily change time interval of realtime information displays One place to go for key information Replace green screens with multifunction graphic display
Select KPI s to Monitor what Matters October 9, 2012 10 Automated search quickly identifies deployed Software AG components across your network Easily identify and select appropriate Key Performance Indicators (KPI s) to monitor Monitor Software AG products plus any SNMP-enabled components across yourenterprise Reduce the burden on IT administrators Improve operational visibility by cutting out the noise
Automatically Calculate Averages and Standard Deviations October 9, 2012 11 Consolidates historical and trend analysis of infrastructure behaviour Monitors each KPI and learns what is normal based on historical patterns Enables creation of proactive alerts base on standard deviations and rules Ensure that business SLAs are consistently being met Quickly identify and address performance trends
Automatically Calculate Averages and Standard Deviations October 9, 2012 12 The blue line is the actual reading The green line is the historical average The green boxes are 1 standard deviation from average
October 9, 2012 13 Create Rules and Send Alerts How You Want Them Optimize alerts you based on thresholds when KPI exceptions are encountered Customize alerts based on the severity of the exception, so you respond appropriately Alerts can be received multiple ways, including e-mail, SNMP, Web service actions, or even a pager Save time by focusing on real issues: Optimize does not send false positives Choose when and how to receive alerts

Customer Stories
Customer Success Stories Zentrum fur Informationsverarbeitung - ZIVIT October 9, 2012 21 ISSUE: Unaware of a potential risk for lost data Optimize showed them that a crucial disaster recovery product, Adabas Delta Save, was not running. If ZIVIT had a system failure, the Delta Save logs would not have been available for them to recover with. A rule was created for Optimize to alert the DBA whenever Delta Save goes offline
Customer Success Stories Bundesamt für Informatik und Telekommunikation - BIT October 9, 2012 22 ISSUE: When to run a new application with minimal impact on system performance BIT needed to do a procedure that required a lot of Adabas capacity. Optimize helped them discover a consistent window from 3PM to 4PM where transaction levels were very low BIT was able to schedule the procedure during this hour and avoid overtime

Samples
Discovery October 9, 2012 34 First of all you will need to run the discovery and discover the products running in your environments
Monitored Components October 9, 2012 35 On the Monitored Component page an overview of all existing products is available. You may select product-instances for monitoring. In addition you will need to select the KPIs you want to see
October 9, 2012 36 System Overview On the Analytics Overview Page all Hosts with all Products are shown. Ordered by Host-Name and Products Users are able to compose their individual composition. Status icons are documenting which Host or Product is out of compliancy
October 9, 2012 37 EntireX Broker Example Monitored KPIs of an EntireX Broker Rule icons are showing if any rule is violated Diagnosis trend icons give a quick overview on the main page RPC Servers handled by the Broker are listed below And can be monitored in addition
Details of one Adabas KPI October 9, 2012 38 This is showing the number of Adabas calls from a working day: Optimize will calculate the averages and the standard deviation. Display ranges can be individually defined. Alerts may be build depending on the deviation rather than fix values.
Comparing some KPIs from Adabas October 9, 2012 39 In this example Optimize is demonstrating how CPU-usage is running synchronized with the number of Adabas calls and Buffer-Flushes.
