Product Overview

Metamon Information Console is designed to provide comprehensive monitoring and management capabilities for CICS environments running on z/OS. It allows for real-time viewing of CICS system information, including tables, control blocks, programs, memory usage, and CICS settings. The architecture consists of several key components that work together to provide this functionality.

These components communicate using standard z/OS communication protocols. The product integrates with Metamon Event Recorder to provide enhanced event analysis. The main system components include the data collection agent, the data repository, and the user interface.

The data collection agent runs within the CICS environment and collects system information. The data repository stores the collected data for analysis and reporting. The user interface provides a graphical interface for viewing and managing the data.

The product requires a CICS environment to be present and extends the capabilities of CICS by providing enhanced monitoring and analysis features. It typically runs within an LPAR on the mainframe.
