The architecture of MAINVIEW for VTAM comprises several key components. The VTAM Monitor Agent resides on the z/OS system and collects data from the VTAM environment. The Data Server processes and stores the collected data, providing a central repository for performance metrics and resource information.
The user interface, accessible via GUI or CLI, allows administrators to view monitoring data, configure alerts, and manage network resources. Communication between components uses TCP/IP. The Data Server utilizes a database for storing historical data and performance metrics.
Configuration files define parameters for data collection, alert thresholds, and user access. Authentication is handled through RACF, ensuring secure access to the system. Compared to other solutions, MAINVIEW for VTAM provides a specialized architecture optimized for SNA network monitoring.
The product is being replaced by BMC AMI Ops for Networks.
