Product Overview

The architecture of IMS Dynamic Resource Control Facility comprised three main components: a monitoring component, a processing component, and a display component. The monitoring component collected data from IMS control blocks and system logs. The processing component formatted the data for display.

The display component presented the information to the user via the command-line interface (CLI). The CLI provided commands such as `DISPLAY DB`, `DISPLAY TRAN`, and `DISPLAY MSGQ`. The system did not use external configuration files.

Security relied on the z/OS environment. The product is no longer supported. Consider alternative solutions like IBM Operations Analytics for z Systems.
